UPDATE DAY 24

Okay so today I made some major improvements to just about everything. My Mars Hydro Ts 1000 came in today and I also moved all the plants to 2 gallon smart pots. Everything is coming together and looking better everyday. I had to do some renovations to my stand because the Mars light has to be further away. I also got a thermometer humidity tester. The basement is a tad cool and I hover around 20 degrees celsius. The humidity is around 60%. I have a door I am going to put back on this basement room I think that might help raise the temperature in there a little bit. I am looking into getting a fan to blow on them, I really don’t want to get a small heater for the room, considering it is where I sit on my computer! But anyways cheers everyone, enjoy the pictures!

UPDATE DAY 28!

Okay so today I checked on the plants and a few of them have some leaves that don't look too healthy. They were transplanted 4 days ago not sure if thats to blame? Take a look for yourselves and tell me what you think. It has been 4 days since transplant and they don't feel like they are ready to be watered yet. I hope they are okay!

Hey thought I would stop by your journal. Looks like your using Promix, I really like Promix I grew with it for the first year on this site until recently switching to hydro. Just to further the discussion from your other post ProMix is a soilless medium so you should be ph'ing your nute mix to 6.1-6.3. Good luck with the rest of your grow.

It’s either potassium or Calcium deficiency. What’s your ph been running?

Thats what I was thinking I dont have a soil ph tester. Ordered one yesterday. But water I have been putting 6.2-6.8 in that range. What can I do?

What type of soil are you using?

It should be getting both nutrients, can you add calcium and a bit of bloom formula?

Ordering calcium now, and by bloom you obviously mean bloom from the grow micro bloom? Also will contact my local hi times tmrw and see if I can get calcium from them tmrw morning!

At some point you’ll need to buy a ph pen. They are pretty cheap on amazon.

I have a water ph tester and I will ask my local store tmrw when I get cal mag if they have one too!

 

[Pennywise]

If you have a ph pen that will work to test your nutrient solution as well.

Okay! So tmrw I am getting a soil ph tester as well as some cal mag. I will mix up some nutrients and add cal mag to it. Hopefully that will help them.

Happy 420!

The leaves that are touching the medium... I would remove.
mom not saying that’s what’s causing it, just saying that it doesn’t help the situation.
Happy 420 everyone!

I took a little out!

Soil ph isnt the problem! Heading to the store now to get some calmag to mix with nutrients and feed them!

The new ph pen will help you to correct the problem. The soil meter you have really doesn’t tell you much.
