Rob's Indoor LED Soil Grow Bubblegum & AK47

rschutz86 · Mar 11, 2020

This grow is in progress.
Day 30 from seed
Fox farms happy frog soil
Using advanced nutrients 3 part micro grow and bloom
Also using extreme gardening mykos azos and calcarb
Started both plants in a red solo cup with happy frog. Then transplanted to 1 gal fabric pots with happy frog. On day 27 I transplated to a 3 gallon fabric pot with a mix of happy frog and strawberry fields. I sprinkled mykos and azos to the root ball when I transplanted. I also used the calcarb foliar spray after transplanting to the 3 gallon pot. I will post pics later tonight.

Day 30 veg

Ok so tonight I just lightly watered with plain water around the perimiter of the pot since I just transplanted 3 days ago. When they dry out I'm gonna give a good watering with runoff. Do you think I should use a small amount of nutrients? I used mykos and azos when I transplanted. I just dont want to burn them.

A few other things
The temp is a little cold in my tent it stays between 66 and 68 for now. RH always around 50% my light is a 180watt led
I am starting this journal because I am trying to get better and more experienced so any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Day 31 veg
No watering
Temp 68
RH 52%
Thinking about using this fish shit on my next watering. It's an organic soil conditioner. Any one ever used it before? I got a sample from the local grow shop.

I don't have any experience with the soil you have chosen and fertilizer fish shit fertilizer but it shouldn't hurt at this stage to give them a light dose of it. Start off with 1/4 strength added with your advanced nutrients at I'd say half strength. and post up some results in a few days.
Also why the low temps? Garage grow or is your ventilation on too high? You should see some faster growth from them if you can raise the lights on temps to low to mid 70s.

I know it's a little chilly but my tent is in the basement and it's cold here right now not much I can do about the temp.
Should I still use the advanced nutrients even though I just transplanted?

scrogathon · Mar 12, 2020

Me personally I use fertilizer everytime I water but I'm using a soiless medium (promix) with no fertilizer or anything so I don't want to reccomend anything that may hurt them. But by the looks of things you should be fine with a lighter strength.

rschutz86 · Mar 12, 2020

Thank you for the advice I am gonna use the fish shit and a light dose of the advanced. I will update after I water with that. Probably wont be for a week cause my pots are still pretty heavy

RH 50%

Did a good watering with 4ml per gallon of fish shit organic soil conditioner 4ml per gallon of advanced micro grow and bloom.
I'm hoping this will bring these girls some much needed life

Day 36 veg
Temp 69
RH 51%

Watered with
1 tsp azos
1tbsp mykos
4ml per gallon fish shit

That last watering looks like it gave them some good growth not sure if it was the fish shit or the advanced nutrients. Next watering I am going to water with advanced nutrients

Day 40

Watered with
6ml per gallon advanced nutrients micro grow and bloom
2ml per gallon advanced sensi cal mag
Did a foiler spray of extreme gardening calcarb
I am switching to flower tomorrow

Day 44. Day 3 flower

Watered with
1 tsp azos per gal
1tbsp mykos per gal
3ml fish shit per gal
Ppm in 215
Ph in 7

Runoff ppm bubblegum 2000
Runoff ph bubblegum 5.5

Runoff ppm ak47 1360
Runoff ph ak47 5.3

My ph is really low. Not sure why. Ppm is really high too I was going to feed next watering but I think I will skip that feeding.

They are growing taller quick. I have to move the light up daily now. Tied down some of the stems to make room for new growth

@scrogathon I was wondering if you could give me any advice on my ph and ppm. I tested the runoff and my ppm seems high and my ph is low. Numbers are on the last post. I dont know why my ph is low I am using beneficial bacterias and the fish shit has microbes in it. I thought that stuff regulated ph. Should I use just phed water on my next watering?

rschutz86 · Mar 27, 2020

Day 5 flower

No watering. Seems to be growing despite the low ph runoff. The new growth is still coming out lime green tho. Is that normal?

Sorry for not responding, was feeling quite sick the past week. I'm not familiar with ph testing as I mainly use advanced nutrients which adjusts all that for me.
The new light green growth usually happens when switching to flower and isn't a sign of any trouble. Things are looking good so far my friend.

Ok cool. Hope you are feeling better. Thanks

Just did a slurry test and it reads at ph 6.8 witch is good. Just not understanding why the ph of my runoff is so low. Maybe the runoff is not an accurate way of testing soil ph?

Day 12 of flower

Watered just ak with 1 gallon
1 tbsp mykos
2ml fish shit
Ph in - 7
Ph out - 5.5
Ppm in - 27
Ppm out - 550

I also took some clones for the first time. We will see how that turns out. I used azos for cloning.

Bubblegum really starting to fill in

Ak 47 just watered so looks droopy but she was nice and perky before the watering

Day 25 of flower

Haven't updated in a little while. Been busy but here we go
Ak47 got really tall also seemed to get a little nute burn or possible light burn not sure. I dont know how it could be nute burn because I have only been feeding every other watering and only about a quarter of what's recommended. Other than that she is looking good

Bubblegum is very short. Did not stretch much at all. Starting to form buds but seems behind the ak47. The ppm of runoff has always been high on bubblegum so I haven't feed nutes for the last couple watering I wonder if I should feed?
