First time newbie two weeks in

[Winemaker]

Hi all,

 

Absolute newbie here, started just over two weeks ago, I have a 4x2 tent currently with one autoflower AK47 and yesterday I planted 2 Northern lights autos, I’m hoping on having 4 plants in there under two Led lamps (one cheapy off eBay and one 600watt equivalent off amazon) both pulling about 150 watts together.

 

few questions, I’m using 8 litre pots, using potting mix from Wilko and perlite, I’m using Biobizz nutrients and I’ve bought some liquid seaweed which I’ve not yet tried, what’s the best amount of these nutes and sea weed and how many times should I use it against normal water ph 6.3?

 

also, how healthy does my plant look so far?

No picture has been posted mate. Google the biobizz feeding chart. Leave your tap water out for 24 hours to remove clorine.

No need as they use mainly chloramine now and standing it will do bugger all

To add to that, the whole leaving your water to stand is another load of shite invented by the Americans because they put so much shit into their tap water (not that letting it stand would do much good anyway). 

Barely anywhere in the UK is fluoridated let alone added chlorine/chloramine (which as Owd says - will not evap). Tap water is fine. Rainwater is better.

I add Ecothrive Neutralise to the water to make sure. It's dead easy to use and works on both Chlorine and Chloramine. 1 drop per litre, stir and that's it. No waiting, just use. 

 

For me it's a safety blanket for my microbes etc. It's cheap for how long it lasts.

 

P.S. It's safe, naturally derived and organic.

I've always done it anyway because I get about 6.5 pH when I run my water cold as ice. If I run it lukewarm it phs at over 8. Also I think it depends where you live.

 

Just realised I put chlorine not flouride. Flouride is an accumulative poison for plant foliage isn't it?
