ORGANinc. Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 An update on the babies. I’ve made a few small changes, nothing drastic. Fan and new light installed, gone with a 240w quantum board, in an effort to save on electricity. Eskom are ruthless. They are probably going to get a dash of something nice tomorrow. Possibly microbes, epic and molasses. Continuing on without fish for now. Humidity is around 70% Temp maintaining between 20-24 Dicondrah planted and waiting to sprout 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORGANinc. Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) So we 13/14 days old now, 3 weeks gone. The girls are doing good, I seem to have been under-watering them. Obviously trying to stay on the side of caution, but since Thursday, I’ve been giving it a good go. Watering around the base and interior area to give a good saturation as I had installed the blumat soaker hose yesterday. Small bit of inner veinal yellowing seems to continue on so I have given 1ml per L fish hydrolysate which actually dosage calls for 5-10ml per Litre, I have been using it wrong this whole time, but I doubt I’ll be going over 1ml, that’s madness. I fed on Thursday, and they seemed to really enjoy it. They soil must be quite depleted on N, which is not a good thing at all. Will navigate as best I can. 5 weeks to go Edited May 29, 2021 by ORGANinc. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen to maybe do the same for my blumat setup. Importing lights can be cheaper, however make sure you use a reputable manufacturer as it is known that some supply fake diodes and claim them to LM301 diodes and you're actually getting some other diodes which look the same but are not and sometimes do not perform the same. So reviews are important and trusting your supplier is important too. When I say reviews, I do not mean on their website - places like Reddit or Rollitup etc. and preferably from more reputable members or multiple sources even. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 @ORGANinc. how does one accurately adjust the flow from the carrot when using that tape? I know with the carrot, you meant to adjust it until there is a water drop hanging off the end and then can fine tune after a day or two and by monitoring it - although with that tape one cannot see how much water is flowing? What is the best way to adjust it so that it provides just the right amount of water and at the right time (not when the medium is too wet or too dry)? Also where did you source yours from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Hi Phy , with the hose you have to set one dripper 8cm from carrot and the water line from dripper to hose . So it starts and stop with the dripper.Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk So ideally one of those distribution drippers inbetween the carrot and the hose, then adjust the distribution dripper with the hanging drop method to "calibrate" the setup? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
