Started from the bottom now I’m… progressing

I love futbol and I love fresh buds grown by myself. I am a previous bud of month winner despite me not being listed that way ‍♂ Allll good as I’m growing Bob Marleys favorite. Pull up a chair. I’m a super small timer, I don’t even grow enough for my own consumption but I’m a pot head so…

Awesome. I like your tote. I am a tote grower. What kind of nutrients are you running?

“Lambs bread” has arrived and is in germination in a paper towel in my cabinet. Now for the deets:
I am using fox farm nutes.
I have spider 1000 plus a supplement 60w ufo light
I have larger carbon filter than I need for my small tent. I max out at 2 plants.
THIS TIME I am doing a few things differently. Got a 27 gal tote subbing for two 5 gallon buckets. Got an aquarium water chiller bc water temp really f’n matters evidently when it comes to yield. Holding at 20-21c.
Nute strength will remain same as I’ve had good luck w/plants liking my recipe but I have to be careful on the uptick as I HAVE killed plants being to ambitious. I start with basically neutral water. Ph’d to 6.0 bc my tap runs 7.5ish, and I add hydrogaurd and calmag initially (I’ll get into amounts later)

Man I’ve not been that stoned in long time , I’ve even repeated my self .

They are off! Starting w/ph in low 6 range, water temp 20c, neutral tap water except ph down, hydrogaurd (20ml in essentially 20 gal), Calmag (50ml to start).

My question to my viewers is… when growing hydro, when and how quickly do you add your nutes. From my past, you can see I HAVE been starting neutral, going to 50% strength recipe, then 100% at flip to flower 12/12. I am open to advice!

 

[Hippie420]

I go 50% until they get some height to 'em, then it's full bore through vege and flower. The tips of the leaves will tell ya. If the very tip of the leaves turn brown, ya got it perfect. YMMV, but it works for me.

Unfortunately one took a so I am germinating another but other is doing just fine. Sucks I didn’t have a back up going, I know better that not all will “take” now I am 2+ weeks behind on one… we’ll see what transpires I suppose
