MarcoD1984's First Grow: 2x Gorilla Glue Autoflower, SF1000 2x2

You need to keep you pots and feed water warm, not cool.
Warm water holds more air. Cool water can't absorb oxygen as well .
I try keep my feed about 18 c and pump air into it.
Small thing but can make a big improvement.
Bill

I put a seedling heat mat under the pots and it corrected the problem.

Day 29- I feel things are going ok.little discoloration and bleaching on the leafs but nothing major.Just waiting.lol ...I have a bruce banner auto and a girl scout cookie extreme auto germinating right now going into the nook.I do know these next ones im not lst ing until their like 10 inches tall.I got excited and did it early.Although I do like the spread I accomplished,I need to slow down.I think eventually ide really like to try coco and perlite.I have one of those expandable coco bricks and a massive bag of perlite.I just don't know if thats OK or if Its better to buy the premixed.lol...see....talking aboit other grows and this one isn't even done.rofl

They look healthy to me from the pics. Sounds like you are doing well making adjustments. I did photoperiods from my 1st grow. I’m dealing with possible nute burn that started at end of week 3 of flower. Now in week 5. My next grow is the sponsored GSC grow - so will follow the GeoFlora feeding instructions. For my other plants (clones) will be careful not to over do it with nutes. I’m using an amended soil so I think they get what they need for awhile after transplant from the soil and don’t need a lot of extra’s.

exact opposite. the colder the water the more oxygen it can hold.
some of the highest levels of life are in the coldest waters.

warmer water actually releases oxygen. dissolved oxygen and water temp have an inverse relationship. the warmer the water less oxygen it can hold.

when you boil water you are breaking the molecule bonds and releasing oxygen, leaving less behind. it's one of the first things you learn in high school physics.

stuff is looking good marco

If its a brick it probably needs washed and buffered.
To start you might be better off getting it pre done.
Washed buffered and ready to go.

Thanks.I appretiate you checking it out @bluter .The girlfriend says I can't get a 4x4 for the bedroom until I'm pumping out dispensary quality weed..I'm gonna take my time and make sure I'm getting that bud to where it needs to be and I know without this forum ide be so lost.

 

[Bill284]

I can appreciate what your saying. This video explains my point with 18c feed water

the water temp has more to do with keeping the root zone temperate.
18c is room temp or just under. it's not hard to get water to that point. it's more difficult for folk in warmer climate to do though.

All been there marco. It's part of the grow!

30 days old- Scratched fish bone meal into the top of the soil,1tsp of liquid squid,2g megacrop-Their each drinking about a quart and a half every 2 days.Thick stem.The one is def the runt..lol..happy though

Just ordered a mini programmable dehumidifier...Unreal how many times the exhaust has kicked on....

Yeah, I haven't shut mine down for weeks. Rain go away!

 

[MarcoD1984]

Well the humidity has been nuts today.So hooked this up.Has a damper and hepa filter.Has helped alot.Have a dehumidifier coming but it would of went to 90% today without it.

I never dump a plant unless it has pests. There is something to learn from each one. I should be a genius judging by all the dead girls I have.hehe
But I always try right to the bitter end. I have enough space to mess around with problem girls though. You could fill that tent with just two girls easily, but longer veg time.
I'd let her go beside the others and see how your available space works out.
If you need the room you can always pull her later.

I try to figure em out too Marco, but sometimes I regret. It's a you call.

 

[MarcoD1984]

Now I remember the question I wanted to ask.What stage is this considered? Late veg? Early flower?and also..where should I set my humidity level to?

Good question Marco! There's a good read on the lifecycle of autos that will answer in my siggy below.

Autos are a mystery to me but when pistols apear Is early flower.
Did the seed pack have any indication on it?
