It's gonna be a great grow! Hempy non-technology is so dang fun.....wild, crazy growth with little to no effort, and almost no expense.
Are you using tap water? If not, be on the lookout for calcium deficiencies.
Also, I had one plant that had a zinc deficiency....it was just one plant and the problem was easily corrected with an iron/zinc supplement (liquinox).
I'm more excited about watching your grow than harvesting mine....I've come to realize that my favorite part about cannabis is growing it. Smoking is fine and all, but when I was away for a week, I could care less about smoking....I missed my plants, not my stash.
Growing pot is addictive!
I've been top-watering and bottom watering. The access hole at the bottom gives me lots of flexibility.
I can mix up something and deliver it right to the root zone through that hole with a syringe, turkey baster, etc.
I had planned to do the whole grow with just the OC+, but the seedlings were looking a little ragged, so I added the liquid fert.
In retrospect, I think they were looking a little ragged because the roots hadn't hit the res yet, so when I transplant, I'm going to try to stick to just the OC+ and discontinue all other nutes and supplements.
I'm thinking of splitting the OC charge so that 1/2 gets sprinkled about an inch above the damn hole, and the other half about 2" below the surface and localized in one spot that I will mark on the bucket so I can water over that spot.
Regular hempy buckets can be bottom-watered easily if you use a large syringe or just stick the sprayer nozzle right into the damn hole. Straight shot into the root zone.
Since the res on these little 6" pots is so small, the plants uptake what I give them really quickly. It only takes a few minutes to see how they react to different things.
Their favorite cocktail has been a shot of Maxicrop kelp extract.
After the transplant into the regular Hempy buckets, however, I'm really going to try to stick with just the OC+ and see how things go. That was the original plan.
These little 6" self-watering pots are great for germination through 2-3 weeks of veg. They take up twice as much space as cups, but I think they give the plants a better start. My two NL/WW/VK plants in the cups don't seem to be growing as fast, but it's a different strain, so hard to compare.
I'll try to put up some more pics after the transplant.
thanks doc!
