I see that now :man_facepalming:t2: I think @Graysin has the dots pretty well figured out, maybe can help you out.

[image] WhatsupDoc: water and epsom 1x and recharge with epsom 1x Curious why you are adding Epsom (magnesium) without extra calcium? [image] dbrn32: has the dots pretty well figured out I try :sweat_smile: My experience says the Dots need extra calcium - I usually supplemented in the form of CalMag, but since these have already been getting a disproportionate amount of magnesium from the periodic Epsom, I wouldn’t suggest it necessarily. Calcium nitrate or another form of calcium might be better suited. My rough understanding is there’s a ratio of 2:1 for calcium:magnesium, so it’s likely been thrown out of whack with the Dots + Epsom feedings.

[image] Graysin: Curious why you are adding Epsom (magnesium) without extra calcium? I read the sulfur is beneficial during flower (epsom = magnesium sulfate), guess i didn’t consider the extra mag would throw things outta whack. I’ll stop the epsom and head to the hydro shop and see what i can get for boosting calcium without the magnesium. Thanks @Graysin and @dbrn32 :sunglasses:

I just received my seeds from you yesterday. I am in the process of germinating. Once I stick them in my tent after they sprout, do I keep the light on 24 seven? Also, what should humidity be? And the temperature?. I’m using the jiffy pods after I soak them in water for 24 hours and they will be covered with a cup. Is this correct. Thank you.

[image] Kangaroorob: keep the light on 24 seven Yes; this will provide constant warmth for the sprouts. [image] Kangaroorob: I’m using the jiffy pods Most everyone that’s used peat pots has hated them. A better alternative is to use a Solo cup with a gazillion holes in it and filled with a seed starter or straight coco. Something without any added nutrients as the sprouts can be easily burned by strong soils.

[image] Kangaroorob: Also, what should humidity be? And the temperature? For seedlings i like to keep temp similar to what i try to grow in, 80f. You want rh rather high in beginning, but just do what you can.

Local hydro dude suggested calcium alone over calcium nitrate based on the flower stage. Also realized a goof worth sharing for grow dot users…epsom is a magnesium salt and (my understanding) is that grow dots aren’t salt-based therefore no need to water to runoff, but if you’re supplementing with a salt-based product you might need to water to runoff to avoid build-up. Thanks again @Graysin @dbrn32

[image] WhatsupDoc: is that grow dots aren’t salt-based therefore no need to water to runoff Where did you get info to draw this conclusion on the dots? You technically don’t have to water anything to runoff, but a lot of us just do as best practice to make sure we get a good even fill on our nutrient solution.
