DIY grow , fairly new. Willing to learn.

in Grow Community

Basement grow.

Both cultivar unknown from seed.

Environment is good except for c02.

Humidity, temps, air flow all good.

Lighting is a growcraft x6 660.

Currently 24in hanging height, 35% power.

Ive got a tent made from panda plastic and pvc so i could scrog and keep some of the light kind of contained.

I did my research a little too late and already bought foxfarm nutes and soil.

Ocean forest and dirty dozen.

Giving about 1/3rd recommended nute per their soil feeding schedule.

I feed every other water.

Water ph'd as best as possible... still using water test kit .....(i know i need a ph pen so bad) 6-6.5ish

Dechloring water in 5 gallon bucket with aquarium bubbler for 24-48hours in between watering.

I do not have any ppm ec information(fml)

Currently in week 1 of flower , was having some issues with the cultivar on the right so i let them veg a little too long most likely.

I have some really good mephisto autos im going to run after these, these were my test run.

I know i need to invest more money into a ph pen and ppm ec ect.

If you think you can help and lend me some knowledge bombs for making it to harvest this run and what to improve next run i greatly appreciate it.

Cheap amazon ph pens are not your friend, spend the $ for a good one. ( Apera ph20 ) My cheap one was off by 1.5 points and caused all kinds of headaches and set backs ! Also somthing I learned recently. A handheld 45x magnifying glass is not strong enough to see color differences in the tricoms. I bought a 60-100x zoom that you set on the table and it works great !

Hope this helps, happy growing !

@Johnny Rio Thank you for you input, I always get so worried about reviews on amazon lol. You own that magnifyier ? And yeah the apera line up is what ive been looking at . I regret buying the foxfarm nutes, going to be doing a lot of homework this time around. I will eventually go organic most likely , but i have some fox farm coco loco and a bag of promix hp for my run of autos coming up after this harvest. When im through that soil and these nutes ill definitely be heading a different direction, its not terrible but i think i could do better.

@EdwardKettle I started my first grow with the trio, 1/2 strength with bad results in dwc. Second go round Im going with Fox farm organics in Strawberry fields.

Much better results so far. Week 7 of flower and my 2 Hash Plant strain ( Afgahni X Northern lights ) are looking frosty ! 60 X 100 mag works great, cut a real small piece and put it on the table. Trying to hold it steady is impossible

Check out this video about organics!

Oh hells yeah , thanks for the confidence boost man. My next few investments will be on the ph/ec meters, gonna have to go back and watch some of your videos on slurry tests and ways to monitor inputs and outputs. I hope as i do this more i get better at diagnosing exactly whats going on, seems i get it narrowed down to a few things it "could" be. Your channels and podcasts have been a great resource for me, appreciate what you do for the community. Cheers!

Your plants are looking good so far! Just be sure to monitor the pH and PPM and you should make it to harvest with minimal issues.
