Maybe i should gave them a little bit more of calmag, just a tiny bit because of the higher intensity of lights from 2 days ago.
On the older one i see the stems grow a bit day by day, she is fullier, thicker, also i think im seeing some pre flowers, later i will take a pic to show you guys
The younger one is better, but she is too small and i think is going to continue like that..
The photoskunk is still quarantined, no pics for her, but she is growing normally i think.
See ya later guys
Peace

Don't give any water to the Autocookies!!! Water only when is very dry. Seedlings needs more oxigen than water.
And if your water have a lot of bicarbonate in it, can lock Mg, P and Ca.

Day 2 ?

Is that two days from when she broke through the surface??

Some of my seeds didn't even sprout a tap root for 3 days.

Yeah since she broke through the surface..she was she broke of on day 3 since she was seeded in the soil and i count from that day, when she sprouted.
I cant understand if your post is on the good side or on the bad side of things kkkkk

Maxicrop is a subsidiary of Valagro an italian company...try on a italian eshop!
Zeus 308 is wonderful im real happy with it :jump:

Thanks for the input, i will look for valagro and eshops that sells them to my country.

Always learning, btw the ppm of bicarbonate per litre in the water i was using when she was really bad is of 11.2 is that high?dunno but i will try to research it.
I dont water it, i drilled holes on the side of the pot for better aereation, and im just spraying alittle bit the top of the soil to keep it from going really dry, but i dont do it often because i have the rh on good levels for her stage and it helps keeping the soil in agood balance i think, but thanks for the input :)
And why do you think biobizz is not a very good company?any bad experience?

My PPM is 260 !?!??

WTF !!














I haven't studied chemistry since 1982, but wouldn't a more appropriate name for this molecule be mono-carbon tri-oxegenate ??

Wait! No!
Mono-hydro mono-carbon trio-oxygenate..?
(maybe tri-oxygenite?)

1)Bicarbonate by it self is harmless..but calcium bicarbonate react with phosphoric acid and phosphates producing tricalcium phosphate and other insoluble salts that are difficult to break by bacteria and interferes with the assimilation of magnesium and iron. On long terms it build up into the soil and is impossible to flush.

But 11 ppm is not high.

2) 10 cm between the leds and the seedlings, 8 watts, roughly 18000 lux for maximum growth. But they grow well also at 6 watts 13500 lux.

3)I have a bottle of Biobizz Biogrow that i pay 10 euro for 1 litre..and is vinasses with added some phosphorus and without Ca or Mg..it's a rip-off!!
I pay 7 euro for 1 kg of Maxicrop and 2.5 euro 1 litre of vinasses at the agrarian consortium.

I've used only 1 time Lightmix: nevermore.
Trust me buy Composana or Floragard for half the price and much more quality.
Nevermore Biobizz for me.

I'm going to start using my RO water instead.
No more bottled water.

Hmm thanks for your opinion..
Thanks for the input on the distance of your lights.
Also can you give me a little help? I searched for valagro maxicrop but i cant find anywhere it sell it..also i looke how you wrote it "maxicrop organic tomato" and the search results in a brown liquid bottle..plus alot of other products from maxicrop but they seem from other brands and just use the name, can you give a little direction of what maxicrop you were talking exactly?either way i think im going to have a hard time searching a estore that sells them to Portugal.
Thanks caio
Peace

Autocookies day 3 since broke the soil

Autocookies day 3 since broke the soil

So i went to get my humidifier to work (big wet towel) and i found my girl like this
picture.php

picture.php

Beautifull, greeny, not to streched, with the second set pretty visible, i think im on a good path.

About the gnated quarantined photo skunk.
She is in low environment conditions, low rh, low temps, always on 13c, rh i dont know exactly but i know its low.
Since the air is colder i dont see gnats flying around but i know they are there, only needed to scratch the soil and they are there and also because of the low temps she is staled, healthy, but staled in a way and im thinking

"She is 4/5 days old, just the first pair of lefs, the soil is pretty infested by the gnats and their larvae, maybe if i remove her, clean the pot pretty well, get rid of all of the dirt in those tiny roots she may have, and get her new clean soil"

My doubt is, i know since she is a photoperiod she have the oppurtunity to recover, taking less or more time, doesnt matter, but she will die?maybe if i am quick enough she will get through since the grow room have "perfect" conditions for them at this stage?
What you think guys, can i and her pull it of?
Also i bought neem oil to spray them later on their life but for now to spray a tiny bit in the soil as a preventive measure..
I need your expertise guys
See ya later
