I've been using the calmag, but i don't know the breakdown of any trace nutes/elements in it. I'm not super worried as this is just a hobby for me and every failure is a lesson learned. As far as the LED's go, I've gone from a 150-200w blurple setup which did great during veg, and have now moved onto 3500k whites on a similar style chip (120v direct wiring) using cfl to supplement. I think they sent the wrong white led's though, as these are only drawing about 30 w each. Anywho, thanks for dropping in from orbit!I dont think its dangerously yellow. Still, calmag with some iron in it could help with that yellowing.
I'm especially subbed to see even chinese leds can grow good shit.
Wishing You luck from outer space !
Would the addition of a small amount of tap water help even out the trace nutes? My tap has painfully high ppm and ph so I've avoided it altogether.Some friendly thoughts. You don't need a lot of light or 5gal of water for plants that small (assuming that's a 5gal bucket.)
If you want to run a DWC mom you can do so in a smaller container at a tradeoff of having to water more (gain some space)
I run some moms in DWC (ha not quite) in containers as small as 28oz peanut butter jar with 2" net pots. If you want to increase what you can do in that space I'd look at decreasing the size of that reservoir.
10-20W of cheap LED will keep a small mom (plant that size) plenty happy until its time to take cuts.
Some yellowing on tops in early flower is normal ime you might make a slight increase in feed rate or frequency or let it run as is as it doesn't look totally deficient yet. If you're still running distilled water that might be the source, you're lacking the macro/micro found in tap.
So before i started this journal, i had an 18 gal tote with 4 sites, 2 plants each site (because i'm dumb and don't think ahead about things like rot....) After a week or so of growth I found the bucket i'm currently using and transferred the heartiest block to its new home. i bring this up only to say that of the 12 seeds i germinated, all had a tail pop out within 24 to 48 hours. for the incredibly low cost of 4 dollar shipping for a bag of 100 mystery seeds I think this is a great way to find/add some new genetics at a low price point. granted, not all the seeds looked great, but its easy to pick out the obvious duds.for seeds off of wish im impressed lol....
Well I was bad and amputated one of her many arms (weed man wasnt answering)After a quick dry and absolutely no cure time it was about as good as some ditch weed, but with a pleasant heady effect.id love to hear a smoke report etc honestly.
