HYDRO Hello from a complet novice

[Welshboykev]

Here's a update after my first ever LST then total change of water has ph 6.4 , ec 0.8 ppm 500 also now with additional of calmag plus the lights are on max now instead of half way 120w to 240w
the plant didn't do much first 2 days especially after its been through all that in 1 day 😀 but she's bouncing back a bit now only a few little brown spots but nothing on the new leaves and I think it's starting to go a little bit darker green anyway what do you guys think does it look like it's on the right track to you experts any and all comments welcome

It’ll take a few days. With any luck she will recover just fine 👍

Would like to add a update I know its been a week but the plant hadn't grown all all for almost a week I thought I'd totally messed up but went and checked on her today and couldn't believe it has bushed out in the last 24 hours , looking a lot healthier what you guys think 😊

 

[Welshboykev]

Cant believe how bushy it has gone over night

 

[YYCannabis]

Look at her! She’s a beauty.

 

[Catfish22]

Looks like a save to me!

Nice recovery!

Thankyou guys I'm so happy it's recovered I have a few quick questions if you don't mind answering yesterday I bought a Bluetooth humidity/temperature monitor that records over several days I have a small oil heater in the tent and it was on a thermostat and kicks on and off but looking at the graph there was a very big swing in temp every 20 minutes as it turned on and off so I've removed the thermostat and got the heater on constantly and recorded over the lights out period if looking at graph it stays at 24c very constant the heartbeat dip in the graph is where lights come on and I went into tent to check ph ec so with lights on now it's staying at a very steady 29c , so my question on this is is 29c temperature too high

Also second question is now I have all my nutrients at the correct level no more rusty spots on the leaves and looking like I got the temperature and humidity under control I added 10 ml of calmag to my 19l pot but leaves are still looking a bit light/slight yellow ish have I added enough calmag and can you use too much calmag I'm very worried now adding anything so I hope you guys don't mind me asking here first in my first grow

Last but not least I have now bought a wifi camera with voice control I watch the live feed almost constantly last 24 hours and even started talking to her I honestly think I have issues anyone els have these problems 🙉🙊🙈😂

I’d recommend backing down the temp to closer to 25C this way you have some headroom if there is an unexpected rise in temp. The fluctuations in temp are just fine for the plant as long as it stays within the recommended guidelines.
If you keep the Rh at 60-65% with 25C temp, your VPD will be very good and your plant will reward you for it.

Below is a 24hr snapshot of my tent. This is how i keep my garden from seedling to harvest. Despite the appearance of the dip in temp during my lights-off period, it’s only a drop of 2C.

Thought I would give you a update after your last comment about VPD YYCannabis I went on a mission to find out what it actually is I found a chart and spent the next 3 days back and fore playing with my heater humidifier and fan so I wanted to show a new pic of how close I could get it with what I have but she is doing amazing don't really know that to do next its so thick and solid bushy do I do any pruning can't really train it much more maybe just let it go bigger or when do I flower anyway here's the pics guys thankyou for you help everything is appreciated 🙏

Nice looking plant. A lot of online info warns beginners to be careful with defoliation. So much so, I didn’t do enough my first grow. If this was my grow, I would remove enough leaves so I can see through the plant to the top of your reservoir.

 

[YYCannabis]

Temps and Rh are looking good 👍as the plant grows, humidity will climb. Keeping it dialed in can be a daily chore that needs to be tended to.

As for that bush, she looks fantastic. I would pluck the largest, oldest leaves. Then re-asses how much more needs to be plucked.

A update on my grow I'm keeping to the charts you gave me YYCannabis I'm still fighting with my daily obsession with VPD but can't quite get it perfect but I'm 75 % at least in the green zone I've left it for a extra week or so after your comments on getting the big leaves out I saw a lot more opportunity of a bit more training but she's starting to look very eventually Spread out now and I finally changed the light cycle to 12 on 12 off
anyway I was feeding her today topping her up water going down a lot now ec is going down and ph going up so chart says I'm in a good situation hungry plant so as I'm feeding and smoking a joint having a chat to her doing my daily checks I was thinking about CO2 and the fact I haven't thought or know anything about this and wondered if my "attic air" getting sucked in might be stail any wise wisdom from you about this would be great

Thanks so much for reading here's some update photos 🙏

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Look how nice those roots look, outstanding recovery

 

[YYCannabis]

That’s a very nice lookin root bundle. She is going to give you plenty of rewards.

Forget about CO2. Normal ambient CO2 is just fine, add in the fact you smoke in the room adds plenty more CO2 than she needs 👍

As for the attic air...can’t really say. Ive never been in your attic 😁

 

[Welshboykev]

Thanks guys really appreciate the comments and help, I'm so enjoying my new obsession as I've Always loved gardening and they are such a Beautiful plant Anyway

YYCannabis 😂 you comment on my attic made me chuckle 😆

 

[Welshboykev]

I thought I would post a update it seems so long ago when I posted picks of my poor little plant and if it wasn't for you guys here at GWE I wouldn't be seeing theas little buds coming I'm starting to get exited to see what it's going to turn out like, thankyou guys 🙏

 

[YYCannabis]

Looks like you’re winning 👍

 

[Welshboykev]

Sorry guys if I'm spamming but I'm so proud of my girl cannot believe I've actually grown this beautiful plant so here's another little Update thankyou for your patience and kindness 🙏

 

[YYCannabis]

We love happy endings. Keep going!
