Be careful what you buy avoid bonticare cal mag. Anything with nitrite based nutrients stay away from. You want your amendments to be soil friendly to your micro herd.
you can also amend soil with some 1 tbs dolomite lime prilled to 1 gallon water as well. Which can also be used in a super soil recipe when building your own.

Watering requirements will change with growth and changes in humidity levels. Green rule of thumb is to judge by weight of pot, that is pick it up after a good watering get feel for the weight dry verse wet will become very easy to note this way. It is not enough to look at surface, if you stick you finger deep enough in pot you can cage that way as well. Also you will notice if paying attention signs of lack luster perky leaves, they will start to lower don't let them wilt you will slow growth in doing so.

Thx! But how much should I give? Now is in 6l pot. But I think she will be transplanted again in week 4 in 11l pots. Then I wait 1 more week and then I turn the lights 12/12. But I still don`t know how much water should I give? 0.5 liter is fine every day ? Usually I always put my finger deep in the soil and check. I wait always until is dry...

PS 1 gallon = 3.8 liter

Ok, so you're currently in about 1.5 gal pot, going to about 3 gal. If that is correct watering is still about "feel" you find won't find a consistent amount it will vary.
Some folks water till a little run off, that is your pot should have drainage holes on bottom. Mine are cloth different kind of pot altogether when it comes to watering and I water with passive hydroponics mostly.

But when I do water from the top I wait till soil is dry, "light" pot. Again feel. Then water till little run off. Record the amounts and get a historical data for your strain so you can plan to have adequate water on hand.

Hope that helps... :weed:

Looking good there... this is from seed correct? If so you want to prepare for taking a clone. I would top your plant now let the two main branches form. Then prepare to take a clone (cutting) from bottom nodes once a good set of leaves develops. You will need clonex. We need to determine sex topping now and cutting a clone in a week or two will allow this plant to continue to grow will allow to veg clone for a few weeks then force flower to determine sex to find out if you your current vegging plant is a boy or girl.

Yes it`s from seed. 100% Feminized WW. I hope she will be feminin. Idk what happened but I observed some strange things on my plant. The leafs on the top of the plant they are curling up and 1 of the bottom leafs have a little yellow point it looks like burned. I was thinking is the light to close or CaMg def. Here some pictures:

Have you been spraying with water as well? It could be a water droplet that got hot. Done that when I spray with water I spray underneath up, not top down. Just for that reason.
How's she looking any more issues?

Hy. No I didn`t spray her with water. But I will do it if u think this will help. How many times pro day I should spray? ANd when the lights are on or when they are off ? I left for 2 days. Now I came back but poor she`s looking worst. She looks like burned. I keep the light(150w HPS) 20 cm(7.9 inches.)>>>>Pictures

PS: Tomorrow I`m gonna buy some Magnesium Sulfat (Epson Salt). 1 teaspoon in 1gal water is fine huh?

Moreh,

Have you been using the CaMg+ from General Organics, using distilled water lacks these nutrients. Some of this could be the natural process of lower leafs losing color as the plant develops newer leaf sets.
Have you adding anything but Bio Biz and Distilled water to your soil?
Have you added any mycorrhizal Fungi to your soil. These microbes will ensure your plant gets everything she can out of the soil your yields will be better too.

There is a way you can collect your own mycorrhizal fungi from outside and amended into your soil. Either Great White or Down to Earth have some excellent products.
If you can get your hands on some FRESH Earth Worm Castings add top dress your soil with it or make tea and and water this too will introduce a good amount of healthy active mycorrhizal fungi to your soil.

As long as your upper and newer leaf sets look good I really wouldn't get too excited yet.

Hy everyone!

We are in day 23 Vegi. The plant seems to be fine. Only 2 leafs they are turning yellow and some little leafes lost the pigment on the edge. But I think it`s fine.

I think one more week and I turn into flowering. Please I want to read opinions!!!!

Everything looks fine in these pics, though you have slight nutrient burn on on tips of leaves. You may want too feed less water less. Let you soil dry before watering again the weight feel I told you about.

Also every knew grower can't keeps their hands out of the grow. Watch observe record what you do when so you can see effects.
On to the next set of pictures.

Please provide the following

Room Temp? at toe level ? at top or you head ?
Humidity?
Light distance from top of canopy?
Water schedule for last two weeks. Source PH? PPM? Amount?
Feeding schedule for last two weeks.
Food - Source - Amount
Soil run off PH?
Container size

Provide as much as you can I will give you a better analysis

Room temp: 82s (Day) 71(Night) Himidity: around 50% ph:???? I give here in the last 2 weeks 3 times 1l d.water+1ml BioGrow+1mlBioBloom+1mlTopMax+1/4 teaspoon Epson Salt. Light distance between the light and the top of the plant is about 7 inches.
The plant hight is 14 inches.
My thermometer is installed in the middle of the closet. There I have this dates. At the top of the plant max 2-3 degress more, cuz I`m using a computer fan which is pulling the cold fresh air from outdoor. + I have a ventilator 24/24 working directed on the light. The puller pulls 3 times/hour the air outside from the closet.

The pictures: Day 27# Flowering

Looking good, try to get a handle on the PH,....

You want to know PH of food+distilled water, I would water with CaMg+ every week with distilled water only. You want to know the PH of these watering / feeding / amending it is important to know what level going in.

The pen is great for that and for when you water with just plain distilled water till enough runoff has passed through to account for half the water then take later sample.
You will need light (dry) soil for that.

A good long thick solid soil meter is good to have a well. Run off is great indicator. Your looking for a PH of 6.7-6.9.

Let me know it is important to not have a ? in that box...otherwise good job so far, it looks like our benefiting from the natural buffer soil will give and that you are not over doing what is recommended. Sometimes even less then recommend is better and most of all it is Organic, RIGHT?

What you give up in yield is gained back a hundred fold in taste and smoothness... yum yummy yum yum..:weed:
