BushDoctoR Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) You'll be fine on 24hr light. Ive kept mum's for many years that never had a dark period in their life and they were all fine. If I remember correctly OT1 used to keep mothers like this too and had mums for over 20 years kept this way. Not saying this is the best way but it's not a bad thing. Battery pH pen is fine. I'd avoid the REALLY cheap ones but my £15 ebay jobby did me fine up until I replaced with a bluelab. Just gotta calibrate it more often to make sure it's still reading fairly accurate. Coco has pretty good pH buffering ability anyways, I've heard people in here mention that they don't even adjust at all because of it - not for me personally but I don't doubt that it works. My run off pH always seems to be 6.1 regardless of input pH Imo the things that you should focus your attention on if you're new to coco are: Input EC and run off EC, and avoiding salt build up Root temps Ca/Mg ratio Knowing how to quickly spot the signs if the coco hasn't been buffered properly and you need to correct it Edited January 7 by BushDoctoR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Cream Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I’d not be running 30c I’d prefer to run temps 25c and ramp the humidity up if poss nice little bit of heat under the pots and water little at a time round the stem rather than drenching the roots till there proper established. Good luck with your grow mate. Coco is so easy once you get into the saddle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFUS HOUND Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 I got my veg tent sorted with a heat source - 28'C lights on / 24'C off Im sure I can see a bit of growth but may be wishful thinking - no.3 still has this strange 1/2 light green thing going on Bit of leaf twsting going on as well - ???? calcium fed with 100ml solution with 0.5ml A+B 2ml epsom mix ph= 6.0 EC= 750 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Don’t worry about the colour of no3, she’ll probably grow out of it Or pop a spare seed, just in case? Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catweazle1 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 On 07/01/2024 at 1:59 AM, RUFUS HOUND said: I will sort out a timer tomorrow,I got the temps up to 29/30'C- pots on a grill over a big saucer hopefully the temps wont fall to far lights out. might need a change round as had no heat source other than the heat mats but now have oil rad going spare - overkill for 60x60 but on 1st setting is only 150W My experience: If the wattage too low, it will never turn off and 150w on constantly will eat your electric. I happen to be playing with an adjustable 2000w oil rad and an 1800w ceramic heater. Make sure you see it turn off at your desired temperature, then you know it's set. If it doesn't reach the desired temp, turn up power a notch. Start low, see where the temp lands once it's steady and turn up until it's there. It should only be a once-only operation for each setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFUS HOUND Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 (edited) DAY 7 cheers guys, I will just keep an eye on no.3. @catweazle1 150w setting is fine, its only a 60x60 tent so doesnt take much heating. Ive actually got a 100W PTC heater that I was going to use an inline duct heater (more on that at a later date) photo from last night - fed 100ml / EC 1.0 / pH 6.0 Edited January 9 by RUFUS HOUND 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFUS HOUND Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 DAY 8 - no feed as pots heavy but we do appear to have new growth. Photo from last night and a few of my DIY duct heater. Its made with a piece of 100mm diameter pvc pipe with a 100w PTC heater inside and a pc fan blowing the air through, warming it. Currently got it set up inside tent as an internal heate,r so it takes the warmish air from top of tent, warms it futher and blows it out towards the bottom of the tent . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippy One Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Always a good idea to feed daily, even a weak feed. They’re small though, so no probs letting them dry out a little. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
