She is looking good my friend!!
Maybe k can send you both a sample when sheâs ready! I would love to!
My friend is insane. I also learned I didnât have enough light with her. Thatâs another reason she wasnât sprouting well. He bought this for my husband and I. I couldnât believe. Oh the one I am re growing his plant for.
Nice!! Good friend!!
Update on both plants. Mine is over the edge In height of the bucket.! My friends is dojng very very wel.
Wow they are really coming along, just stumbled across your Journal & thought id tag along
Thank you. Definitely been a struggle. But support here has been fantastic!
You have grought your friends plant back from the dead! Nice job! your baby is looking great!!
I didnât think it was possible! It seems every other day my plant doubles in size. As soon as itâs ready I will send you @GreggT and @Graysin a sample. The least I can do for all the help.
Yep, now that the roots are laid and everything is healthy, itâs just a matter of waiting while she grows!
Ill let more experienced chime in. I just wanted to say your girl looks good⌠i would assume the soil has everything she needs right now⌠just water. Watch her color & her leaves. That will tell ya
Sheâs looking a little pale but I wouldnât be too worried. Next time you water (probably in a week to two - those are large containers with not much breathing room. Iâm a big anti-plastic person when it comes to growing) I would water to runoff, collect the runoff and check your pH. At their age and size, Iâd sooner believe that the pH is falling out of balance.
What to runoff, meaning water until Litterally water coming out of the bottom. Then adjust with nutrients? I did water her the day I posted the picture I was a little worried I did notice they were droopy a little bit. Now they are perked back up nicely. I will wait until next week to do a run off and let you know. Thanks so much! Next round I will be getting the cloth pots vs buckets. It does seem they respond better in cloth. I hope youâre doing well.
Water until about 20% of what you put in is coming out the bottom (I.e. If you water with a gallon, you should get 25 ounces out, more or less). Itâs not exact, but you want enough water collected from out the bottom to have a good overall average picture of the pH in the soil.
Ok first run off. Itâs on the lower color side I think.? Complete newbie at this part. What is recommended?
@GreggT @Graysin
pH at 6.5 is the target.
I donât know what that color means, but my real loose recollection from fish water pH test is that youâre sub 5.0. does that sound right?
If so, the course of action now is to run enough water at pH 6.5 through the soil all at once to get the runoff back to around 6.0-6.5.
Perfect! Thanks so much! It is wayyy below where it should be. You were right, definitely off. Should I do another run off now⌠or wait until she dries up?
I hope youâre doing well
