I woke up this morning and I was forced to flip to 18/6 around midnight, when my heater decided it was bed time and blew the surge protector. (In the trash it went)
10hrs early I was going to flip them at 10am so the lights are off during the hottest time of day. Oh well maybe I’ll do 18/7 until I get to 10am.

Transplanted this morning. All went we’ll. The runt had about the same amount of roots. So hoping for the best.

Turned my qb light on low and have them at 24 inches.

Happy thanksgiving all

Can I get a little help on how to water my plants
How much water per plant, just an estimate on how much.
Just planted into presoaked coco yesterday

And how do I use the jacks, do I premix 1 gallon (3g,2g,1g)then dilute to to a certain ppm

The mix is
3.6 grams of Jack’s
2.4 grams of Part B(Cal Nitrate)
1.2 grams of Epsom salt.

You can either mix up one gallon and pour it into another gallon. Or you could cut the amount in half. That should give you around 500ppm which is about what you need now. Here in a week or two you will bump up to 700ppm, so you would mix 2 gallons of the 321 and add one gallon of normal water. Once your plants are around 15 inches tall you can start giving them full strength all the way until harvest.

I have 5 plants in 5gallon pots. How many gallons would I need, or do I just keep watering until run off

I would give them a solo cup of water like every 2 or 3 days but make sure it’s around the edges and not in the center. Eventually they will take around 2 gallons per pot.

Yes besides the seed starter that was in the solo cup

Damn 2gallon. I should of bought a bigger ro system, it takes forever to get 2gallons

Thanks for the water info

It takes me an hour and a half to get 5. I have the one you do. I bought some 5gal water jugs(the blue ones) and I just fill three of them and use it until I need more.

Well the plants are growing but they don’t look like other journals pics

I think I’m doing something wrong, green blotches and yellow tips on the bottom leaves and yellow spots here and there.

I hope the yellow spots are from water getting on the leaves, the green blotches I have no clue,

The plants are stretching but there not growing up out of the soil
Watering every 48hrs with 16oz of 5.8ph 520ppm

I beg to differ and think they look great. Your seedlings will look a little funky more times then none. Especially the first couple leaf’s they put out. Just keep doing what your doing and they will take off.

And try watering more towards the outer edge to encourage the plant to send out more roots.

If you want more space between your nodes then I would raise your light to like 30 inches and give it a few days
