Feeding schedule

[Stereoballs]

Yeah it was the smallest seed out of the 3 only had a little taproot when i planted it didnt think it would sprout got lucky i suppose, might have a look to see if there is any info around about weird leaves.

Aparently its a mutation called whorled phyllotaxy dont know weather its a good thing or bad thing either way we will see what happens. Need more info arrrgh!! Edited July 11, 2017 by Stereoballs

Nice setup looks very tidy. Plants are looking good, I wouldn't worry too much about the leaf for now, if further leaves are a bit weird too then maybe look further into it, seems quite common for some of the first few leaves to be a bit deformed sometimes.

Not a big fan of feeding schedules, partly because different plants have different needs at different times, and partly as stated by another manufacturers tend to grossly overestimate required strengths.  I start them off at an EC around 1.0, and then raise and monitor strength from there based on the plants.

 

Looks like you're doing recirc hydro, maybe DWC?  What I do with flood and drain, is once the plants get to about 3 weeks and start drinking a good amount, I monitor EC in the res, if it drops I raise the baseline strength, if it rises I drop it, until I find the sweet spot where EC stays stable, that way the plants are consuming water at the same rate as they eat the nutrients out of it and I assume that is exactly what they need, if that makes sense????  Works for me.

 

Best of luck, and hope your mutant turns out triploid

Mutant update

 

Looks like im not getting any growth from top of plant im getting new growth at sides above where the first set of leaves are pics to follow later

The mutant has now got some roots out of the net pot along with the biggest

 

Has anyone used h202 in their resivoir for root health ?

I have used it many times to kill bacteria associated with pythium. Trouble is it kills all bacteria, good and bad. Better option is to get something like great white or Z7 which help your roots without killing good bacteria. If you have pyth I would hit it with h2o2 first though.

Nah nothing yet just wondering about something to give for root health just seen some people on other forums talking about it and since the roots are close to the res water thought i better give them something

I've used OxyPlus which I think is pretty good in DWC/NFT, you don't need much as it's 50% strength hydrogen peroxide vs the usual 3% etc.

It's also good for increasing dissolved oxygen levels, improving root health. You can use it as a supplement/regular preventative doses weekly with res changes.
