Figured since I started one in coco (Bergman GL fem) and 3 in hydro (northern lights auto) and the 3 in hydro died, but coco soil going good, it was time for help. I sprouted 2 new seeds (but one was twins). So separated and the smaller of the two is hanging on. The twins are blueberry auto (happy for twins since 4 other seeds in BB pack never popped, so chance to try it) and also sprouted another northern auto, so 3 sprouts from 2 seeds. I have a stealthy cabinet for hydro, and closet space for coco soil. Hydro deaths all my fault, all beginner mistakes, over water, ph off, nutrients too strong etc. Trying to determine if should stick to soil until get better or just go with it?
Setup info
300W Mars Hydro and two 80W LEDs. Using the higher wattage on coco since stealth cabinet got too hot with it. Using 7 gallon fabric pots with 5 gallons coco mixed with 2 quarts perlite. Have Fox farms hydro mix and cal mag.
Not a lot of space so would like to get in hydro cabinet if possible. main problem with last hydro was mostly about heat and bad ph (root rot and nasty slime). Any input helpful.
Now to current plant still alive. Bergman gold leaf gem on 20\4 light schedule. Just started with 1\4 strength Fox farms based on their schedule and seems to have burned a little. Giving nutrients once a week, and watering with 2 liters, ph 5.85 twice per week. Every other day she gets fluids. Almost 4 weeks into it. Fim last week at first level of 7 leaves and seems to be going good. Don’t want it too high, so light lst and topping to keep manageable in space. Have been reading a lot of posts and figured time for assistance or pointers going forward.
