1st Set Up...Cheese

[Captn Ron]

Do they look anything like this?

And do they come to the surface after watering?

Theres a few different species of springtail, but this is the most common one, and they rarely venture any further than the pot/soil.

from what i can tell, they look whiter(maybe different stage) and i will watch out if they come up, will water this afternoon!!

Appreciate the help

Yea that isnt the greatest of pics, but yea, they are generally whiter, sometimes almost transparent looking, some springtail species are totally black and look like tiny little ants.

Well englands looking a bit behind there, typical england

I have a feeling england will catch up and be the best performing plant, with me being english of course

So, I transplanted last night, and the clones were busting roots all through the small containers. (they are now all in 3L pots) the seedlings also have well established roots and so I will start on Nutes: Bcuzz Coco Nutrition A & B and Bcuzz Root stimulator next watering.

they look ok after their move, and also put up some mylar. It made the closet too hot with the reflective side, so I switched it around to the white side and added some passive vent holes. now Temp steady 27C(ca. 81F)

will take some pics when the lights go out, without the orange flimmerssss

 

[Captn Ron]

coming along nicely. got them out for some natural shots, no orange.

started nutes. adjusted to ph 5.9 at same time.

did you cut the ends of the leaves off the big one?

no bro, the bigger ones are clones, came like that from the shop...

 

[Londoner]

Yep they cut the leaves to slow down water transpiration while the clone is rooting.

ahhh... I was wondering too.


Thanks

They are coming along nicely, have been misting them once daily(just water), and watering when the coco is near dry. (ph 5.9 and 1/4 strength Nutes)

Portugal is looking odd, but developing new sets of leaves.

all look to enjoy their HPS closet home...

 

[Captn Ron]

just a few pics...

now 1/2 strength nutes and 5.9 ph water. still misting water daily along with turning the fan on for ca. 30 min.

i replanted one clone to have all the 3L pots and check out the pic!!!

looking healthy, leave the fan on longer for stronger plants...


PEACE !

Nice.

Lovely lookin rootball on that one youve repotted, nice n white roots and just ready for potting on

Are you using canna coco ferts?

 

[lizzardking]

your grow looks very nice man just one question what is humidity set at?

 

[Londoner]

Sorry, with coco do you need to check e.c with a meter like hydro? or do you just add the ferts according to the label? e.g 2ml per liter of water?

the company is Atami and line is called B'cuzz:
coco nutrition A&B
Coco Booster.
in the first waterings also used the root stimulator.
for flowering I have CocoBloei(flowering) Stimulator.
they also sell another of their products, the bloombastic... ca. 100$US for 500ml dont know if i will use it?

has anyone used these products???
also, any thoughts on the pot size? i was thinking this was big enough...

thanks

so far I used the lable(but 1/4 and now 1/2 strength) checked the run off with the meter, it was reading about 800ppm but was only from one I tested

 

[Captn Ron]

well it fluctuates, the range is ca. 35-46%.
this depends on when I mist them and the time the fan is on.

What was the input ppm? The important thing is what the difference is between input and output. That tells you how much your plant is taking up.
