Did I do the FIM wrong?

[pntff]

Scoop out the bulk of roots and rinse with water to loosen the roots

thanks for your help, I'll get on it tomorrow. Bill, also, please tell me a little more about how your way of laying out the perlite is better than just mixing it all into a mush? I'm really not good at this, I never once thought of using perlite

I mix it into the coco aswell.
The layers trap air for the roots.
It also creates several perched water tables trapping more nutrients.
Extra air and nutrients for your roots.
Have you had a look at the results?

Thanks comrade, I'm studying the whole thread now. I have a question, does it make sense to add ultraviolet to my plants? I heard in a video of a grower that the more ultraviolet light, the more nutrients will be absorbed by the plant=more buds. If this is really needed I am willing to buy it, but want to know what is best to use? Suggested options below

 

[pntff]

Suggested options below

1: 10w 3x
2: 24w
3: 40w 2x
4: 8w (but i can add more then one)

What are you using now?

[pntff]

What are you using now?

Samsung LM281B + QBS LED panel for growing plants, 200w​

The photo provided is of a 1000W model, mine is a little smaller

 

[pntff]

What are you using now?

I want to add lamps as an addition to the main light

 

[pntff]

Bill, I have fully explored your method, I still have a question, do I also need to make a smaller pot first so that I have shallower layers at the beginning of the root system? Or does it make no difference? I apologize if the question seemed silly

Guys, I have a question regarding fertilizers for babies, I took a table from a Ukrainian grower, like he did well, but I want advice from someone who understands this business well, maybe there is something to improve.... Because I found other tables on the internet that advise to use more ml

pH Perfect® Grow Micro Bloom | Advanced Nutrients

Grow Micro Bloom hydroponic fertilizer specifically designed with pH Perfect plant nutrients technology to avoid pH-level problems in your grow room.

www.advancednutrients.com

I am also using B-52 now and will be using other fertilizers in the future, I have heard that Big Bud Liquid and Bud Factor X need to be applied once a week, is this true?

 

[Roy Growin]

Problem with these charts is that they say '... then this much', but they can't see your plants, so read your plants and trust what you're seeing
I had problems with Big Bud every time so be sure to shake it and check it's clear, not cloudy

here is what grower himself wrote about fertilizer application

Thanks Roy, I'm already aware of the shaking The problem is that I don't understand the language of plants very well

Buddy, what do you think of the lights? I asked Bill, you can scroll up

 

[Roy Growin]

Thanks Roy, I'm already aware of the shaking The problem is that I don't understand the language of plants very well

For me, it's a 3 step process like this:
Wonky tips and new growth - that's micros or new root problem
Lower leaves yellowing - plant shifting mobile nutes to tips, usually N or K
All yellowing, necrosis in the tips and purple veins - total lack of NPK or pH way off too low
Rationale: mobile v static nutrients
Sunday lol

If this is really needed I am willing to buy it, but want to know what is best to use?

By the way, I found another one, it looks powerful! I can get two of those.
Photosynthetic photon flux of 50 µmol/s. Ready, simple and budget solution for growing plants with limited access to sunlight. Power 30W

I finally learned how to reduce the size of a photo, thank god.



and also, found another one, there are 50, 100, 200, 500 watt variations. I don't see the point of getting the 500, I could get 2-3pcs of 50w, or 2pcs of 100w, or 1pcs of 200w. I don't know which would be better. Looking for advice from anyone

 

[Roy Growin]

Buddy, what do you think of the lights? I asked Bill, you can scroll up

Yeah, I did read through that
The first lamp looks great for flower, but it's mostly red so you are likely to end up with spindly plants through veg
Stop wasting your time on these low power bulbs my friend
Can you not get hold of a proper grow light?
What you're trying to do will work, but you're making it hard for yourself
I do understand if you can't get hold of equipment, it's not legal here also
Can't find Russian on my keyboard, but Cheers!

 

[pntff]

Can you not get hold of a proper grow light?

I totally agree that my equipment is ridiculous for experienced growers, but six months ago I spent a bunch of money on this samsung lamp (I'm still a student who rents an apartment for almost half my paycheck lol).
This is my second grow, last time I grew 3 bushes from which I harvested as much as 20 grams!!! haha
I didn't think it would get this far but I wanted to squeeze the most out of it this time, I'm sure I'll prepare better next time and splurge on a more powerful bulb but considering I'm limited on money right now, I'll definitely have to use this before harvest. I just want to supplement with an ultraviolet, it's not that expensive.

By the way, regarding UV, I take it, following the spectrum shown in the photo of my current lamp *bomp*, I need more blue? I don't understand lighting well, but looking at the examples of good spectra for cannabis, I see that my lamp specifically lacks the blue shade, then does it make sense to buy additional lighting with red?

 

[pntff]

Can't find Russian on my keyboard, but Cheers!

I'll wait for you to start learning Russian so we can communicate
In general, it is very commendable that you know so many languages besides your main one

European languages are all basically the same, just pronounced differently

I start in solos to build a root ball.
It works if you start in big pots awell.
Your preference.
