Hello everyone my name is Cody. First off I am not sure if I am posting correctly or exactly how this all done but my partners and I are looking for a little advice on our current grow. First I will start with the background, we are currently growing in 10 ft x 10 ft x 9 ft tents with a 4 ft x 8 ft tray and a 4ft x 4ft tray in them. We have 36 plants on the bigger table and 16 plants on the smaller table, we are keeping temperature and humidity levels well controlled and have adequate ventilation. The lights we use are LED vipraspectras 1200 watt and king 2000 watt Led. We are growing in 2 gal fabric pots but started of in red solo cups. The soil mixture we used was 57% coco coir, 25 % per lite, 17% vermiculite 1% worm castings and a small amount of azomite. Now the first mixture in the solo cups had a higher percentage of vermiculite and perlite and that along with too much ambition we almost over watered out plants.
We realized our mistake and remedied this by purchasing a moisture gauge and only watering when the gauge showed dry. We let them go almost a two weeks and the plants were still not showing much signs of growth. We decided to go ahead and transplant. While transplanting we looked at the root system and it looked as if it was pretty well developed but they had reached to the bottom of the cup and started filling the bottom.
It seems like after transplant the plants are coming out of the over watering but some of the old leaves almost died and /or turned colors we started adding cal/mag 1 ml per 1 gal as it states on the bottle to the water when watering. I also used micro organisms in the water until I ran out. Really it seems as if we are getting slow growth from our plants for them being at around 50 days old.
Now we have some new ones that are 14 days old and they aren’t looking to bad.
I have also started adding nutrients to the plants so just at half the dosage of the bottle which recommends 1 ml per 1 liter. (we use advance nutrients) If we could receive any advice as to why our plants are not looking like they should or if you have any questions about the grow or setup just ask and ill reply asap. I look forward to being a part of the family.
