Journal for unknown strain

[thedonofchronic]

yeah i have 2 fans in the room
and the heat, ill probably just have to deal
with for a while. unfortunately.
And nope it cant be nute burn,
theyll be 3 weeks tomorrow and they havnt been
fed a thing. so im not too sure. its not signs of wanting food is it?
i was sure that looks like even yellowing.

 

[swiftgt]

2 fans eh, that should do it alright!lol
what is the temp outside?
if its less then inside your growroom then you need to ettract air outside and draw cool air in, if its not cool enough outside then you will need to get a small aircon unit, rememvequipment you buy is an investment, and whn done wisely it will pay back many times over with top notch weed!
as for the leafs, if you havent fed them in 3 weeks i think there about due for threre first feed now, just keep it a low 300ppm feed for the first time, and watch and see how they react to the nutes, and increse the nutes from there if they like it,

 

[TURKEYNECK]

I wouldnt stress those bottom leaves too much, I'd like to see the growth once you sneak in some nutes

yes it is less. i have a lot going on right now, i cant install anything to extract air or anything like that unfortunately. at the moment. do you guys think i should flush or just feed next time? ill start with 4ml / L.
maybe depending if the leaves are worse or not tomorrow thanks swift

yeah man they are growing rather intensely arnt they. So you dont do soil I know but you use ionic, sounds good if i just start em out with 4ml / L?
directions says 5ml per L, never used them before thats what the guy that sold them to me said and thats what i was planning on following.
thanks for stopping by

 

[swiftgt]

why cant you an exractor?
do you have a ppm metre? if not unfortunely its another thing you will hav to put on your list!
does it say on the nute package what ppm or ec 4ml/l will give you?

 

[thedonofchronic]

because im extremely tight with cash right now
i have my own house but it doesnt belong to me
too long of a story and not one willing to tell haha
so i havnt even looked into what i would have to do to
put in an extractor but i really cant start customizing things.
all it says regarding ec or ppm is,
"taget ec for most applications 1.8 mS" :confused2:
and under that target ph 5.8 to 6.2
so ill probably flush all the plants with 6.2 phd water
then once they dry try the first feed

 

[swiftgt]

i got my extractor and fitler today! i cost like $120us and comes with everything you will need except the mounting brackets!
im gona put some pics up in a while of the new set up,
as for the nutes, ill have a look at mine and ill get back to you,
im using advanced nutes, made in canada!

 

[swiftgt]

right,
i was out in my grow room there, it says
1ml per litre for 300ppm or .42ec and 2ml per litre for 600ppm or .84ec
you will need to get your hands on a ec metre, there 25bucks and you'll never over nute once you have one,!

 

[thedonofchronic]

they turned 3 weeks old yesterday. today i noticed some yellowing
on the bottom leaves. some are even some look like burn. i fed them all with a bit of Grow today. theyve been topped also. these are the pics.

 

[BuddyLuv]

Looks like nute splash bud, nothing to be alarmed about. Overall they look healthy and happy.

 

[thedonofchronic]

yeah but i never used nutes until today. after i saw
these spots. would ph downed water have the same effect?
when do you think i should start taking cuttings? after how many feeds?

 

[lordhighlama]

plant's are looking good don,, so you did decide to top em I see.

From looking at your and my pic's it looks like the lower leaf damage is similar between our grows. I'm thinking splash from watering could be the culprit. That's what I figured with mine anyway!

 

[BuddyLuv]

You can start taaking cutting whenever you want. I have found the first few lowest branches kinda suck for clones. I like to take the middle ones before they get too woody and stiff.

 

[thedonofchronic]

yeah i got some nice sized side shoots just
calling for a cloning. im using a bubble cloner,
i read that i dont need rooting hormone is that true?
i hope so thatd be nice

 

[swiftgt]

hey don,
i just took a load of clones off my bubblish kc 36's and ak's!
hope they all root!
yea you dont need hormone to root,
but it will make some strains root alot faster,
try it without if you dont have any,
but its no harm getting some next time your out,
get a gel root hormone if you can,
as its better for using with a bubble cloner,
get the powder stuff if your rooting in soil,
by the way don your plants are looking good man,
your getting very fast growth indeed!

 

[thedonofchronic]

This is mostly for swiftgt he was helping me out with a problem
so right now you can see i think my problem is the airstones are horizontal
rather than vertical. but im still going to leave it like this for now and do it this way, since im not planning on taking even 15 clones. just experimenting. if it goes well, then ill plan on what to do with them.
Is that water level alright you think? ill probably take a few cuttings soon and try. thanks guys later

 

[swiftgt]

hey bro,
yea it will work alright,
but your problem is the size of your airstones and the size of bubble they produce,
you need to get the bubble size as small as possable to make it work better, also get air stones that are longer, the whole lenght of your bubbler,
also you can find little t piece connectors for that pipe and join on another airstone,
your bubbler looks great but its alittle deeper then normal for its size,
you only need 3-4" deep, it saves on water nutes ph down etc,
but im sure your cuts will root well for you.

 

[thedonofchronic]

thanks swift for all the help.
yeah of course ill get better at it
try different ways, make changes.
but for now i just want to see some roots
so ill take a few cuttings, ph the water to 6.
and keep my fingers crossed

 

[swiftgt]

yep keep trying new things untill your happy,
it took me a few weeks to get mine right, and im still not 100% happy with it!
yea start them at 6ph and see how they like it, lower it slowly after a while and see how they react,
if they dont like it try raising it, but i think they should like it at about 5.7 or so, but start at 6!
lets hope that your strain takes to cloning, because some strains
are a real pain, and some just wont clone at all!
but thankfully most strains clone quite easyly!
