High Brix Kit 4 Strains QB 288 & 132s With EOD & Emerson Lights In A 6x4 Sealed Room

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Another week makes sense. Sunday transplant day

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

I bought perlite. Got it home. Has miracle grow in it. Damn. Back to the store. Back across town

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

At the bottom of the pot I put an air stone under a dome covered in perlite. Then the soil on top. I’m a big believer in watering from the bottom. The air help the roots. It’s cool fresh air in a hot sealed room into the roots/ water area!!!

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Big jump since yesterday!!! Flip and checked roots. They’re ready for transplant. I have time today so it today rather than in a few days.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Ran out of dirt. Had to use a 5 gal for the 4th. Humidity maintaining much better with all this in there.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Humidity is maintaining when ac is on and when door is unzipped!

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

I just ordered the bulk kit. I Have promix and wormcasting waiting

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Which way would work to change ac. I have it at high fan/cool. Medium temp. I’m tryig not to short cycle too much. But when it runs it sucks humidity. 84f 70rh. Then it turns on 82f 62rh off. Every ten minutes Ish.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

It goes from 62rh to 70rh I like a minute

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Just reread directions. Lol. Wasn’t supposed to transplant until flower. Lol. Oh well. I still haven’t topped or fimmed. I’m just going to keep the veg calendar until flower. Guess we will see wtf will happen.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

This was almost time to flip on my last grow. Bushes.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Ok. List of screw ups(research while less medicated is advisable) I have minimal time In the room. So this system is for me. I used the wrong calendar so thought I was ahead of were I am for some reason. Lol. Humidity problem has been fixed:
1. 2nd humdifier
2. Larger pot size/bigger watering. Most grows into 5gal at the end of 2nd week.
3. Lights were set too high(I pretty sure I was set too high also)

So now I’m going by original calendar. I’m on week 5. Which should Be 1st week of nutes. But it’s not. Lol. They are looking better and bigger everyday. This kit is better than anything I’ve used. The foliar spray is my only confusion. I’m used to spraying like crazy before lights out. Leaf absorption of nutrients. These foliar sprays aren’t like that.
I’m ok in the bigger pots. The dry wet cycle is probably going to be different for a bit. Better than flushing with 15-30gals per pots every other week. All in all great lessons. Totally salvageable. 100% my fault. All is good though.
My plan vs “the kit” = I need to not rush. Which won’t happen. So next time I’ll go by the book. With lights lowered in intensity and 2nd humdifier and an airstone In the bottom next grow will start better. As it is though that’s beauty’s are going to blast off.

With more dirt, they'll start looking much better. You can see it already.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

I normally go from solo cup to 5 gal. So for “the kit” next time I’m really thinking 3 gal to start. Def putting more roots when planting. Maybe even when I turn cooking soil. There is plenty in the kit. Best product I’ve found even if I used it without properly reading instructions

 

[Graytail]

I don't like trying to go from cups to final pots unless I'm in a big hurry. 1 to 2 gallon pots give you a lot more time before you have upcan. And the plants are a lot easier to care for.

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Also with ten gal maybe there will be soil to recycle. With 5 gal pots it’s just a giant root ball. Nothing to reuse. Lol. Good and bad.

Finest mist possible I mistakenly took to mean pressurized sprayer. It’s a fine mist but comes out super fast. I tried a hand spray which was fine but didn’t think the rate of spray was enough. My mind went the wrong way. Rate of spray is size of yard/ garden thought. This is indoor. Just hit the bottom of the leaves with super fine mist ‍♂. It’s veg. It won’t hurt them. Thanks for the input. It’s so variable growing indoors. It’ll take a few to get it down.

heya botany, for the spray I grabbed a hairdresser fine mist sprayer, amazon. works great and minimizes the clean up, cheers

Also with ten gal maybe there will be soil to recycle. With 5 gal pots it’s just a giant root ball. Nothing to reuse. Lol. Good and bad.

I just finished a 4 plant 10 gallon grow in the kit, and I recycled just about all my soil

 

[Highbrixbotany2018]

Looking good today. Growth ionic drench.

Looks like a happy plant Hbbotany! Can you tell me why there is a cable coming out of the pot? I saw you mention airstones but didnt think i they were for the pot You have an airstone in the bottom?
