They will take off once they get their roots established.

Good morning! Well, we both got very ill the past couple of days, so even though we were checking on them, they still show no signs of being thirsty. Wii decided that since we could hardly move out of Bed, that we have not done any watering. They still show no signs of wilting this morning, but since we feel halfway decent I'm sure they will just get a small little watering from the stem out to the Leaf line. Will check on them again after church.
Hope you and kelley get to feeling better soon.. Sounds like they may need a drink. Dont forget to lift the pots.. if they dont weigh much then they are good to go to give some water.

Mangled...thank you. Please feel free to follow along. You are more than welcome. I am trying to make this as detailed and in a layman's terms so that it is easier to understand.
IT...thanks for the well wishes and reminders. Soon as the lights go on this afternoon, I think we will exchange places with the girls so that Elsa gets a bit more light until we get the one you sent put up. They will be getting a little drink at the same time. We will take pics before watering.

Finally have the time and energy to post the pics from yesterday. These were taken just before watering the girls. Gave them approximately 4 ounces each of plain oxygenated water taken from what I have come to call the "bubble bucket". Kelley said that they still had shown no signs of wilting, but the pots were very dry when I lifted them. Next watering will be the same way. We will also water around the edges of each pot to see if we can get some good root stretch and maybe some growth above ground.

The girls are looking fantastic Grandpa!

Yeah looking way better! I think they are already spreading their roots out and establishing a good base for some explosive growth. I think you two are going to be genuinely surprised when they start putting on some size. Way to go!

Apparently you are going to be proven right, UA. Kelley says that they are noticeably growing. She also says if there is only about a quarter of an inch between the sprouting leaves going up the stem. This is much better than the original grow started out. I really believe that keeping an eye on the light distance from them and the water management changes is helping. I do have one question, however. When will they make the transition from seedling two veg stage? I know they are autos, and things are speeded up quite heavily, but I do know they have some veg stage before the blooming stage begins. Obviously, I would like to have as much growth before bloom as possible. I also know that as they start blooming, they will continue to grow. Also, I would like to know if I can start feeding a minut amount of Grow, Micro Blast, and/or Mammoth P. Or am I jumping ahead of myself again?
I'd say a very weak nutrient feed would be good right now.

Now for a real newb question...which one of them or combination of them to use? I was thinking Grow and Mammoth P at 1/4 strength, applied only out to the root line and then around the edges of the pot without runoff.
First time id run a little bloom if it has a small amount of nitrogen in it.

Thanks, PW. If I am understanding correctly, then Bloom at 1/4 rate.
That sounds right, do 1 feeding with the bloom then you can start the grow nutes.
Why do you recommend doing a feeding with bloom nutes before grow nutes pw?? I've never heard of doing that before to be honest.
