Adapting well to Veg Week 1 nutes!!!

No change in Limelight, Goldie's little thirds are a little bigger lol

The others, coloring is balancing out, I can tell the nutrients are working through. All of them are at the edges.

Good growing Sunday to everyone!!

Pop through the seedling stage is always the stress stage for me let’s Go Green

I think it is for all of us...the girls do their thing after that so long as we monitor them....cruise after seedlings, I'm glad I'm hitting that point again this grow round!

Going for early Turkey Day at MiLs...

Girls are good to go while we're gone...

Catch y'all later tonight

She’s just leaning over a little, being a cool little Fonzi, being a cool little honey bunny lol. Never seen that before either unless I had a bigger angrier girl next to her taking all the photons which you do don’t. Ironically it just happened with my Wedding Cake grow this run….

Can you tell which one is the being cool like a Fonzi?!?

Two bottles might do help!

They look happy. But...

Possibly starting to show signs of a deficiency? The slight yellowing around the edges? And on the newer growth? I'm not certain which requirement it would need, if any. I could be off base too.

Too wet.

 

[Krissi Carbone]

Too wet.

Mmmm?? Could have something there C. No run off watering at this stage. My girls do like the water reserve pots which have better drainage. I threw them in haste into these plain old 3 gallons 2 weeks ago.

This week they will be moving to their speciality pots which I am sure they will be happier in and it's also easier to manage waterings once there.

Thanks for the input Charlie

You might try smaller pots at first, 2-4-inches in diameter, 3-4-inches deep. Add a little perlite so you get good drainage. Don't use bark mix. Just peat and perlitle. If you are starting a seed, easiest to soak it in H2O 14-18-hrs, then sandwich between wet paper towels on a ceramic/pyrex plate. Check it each day, keep it good and moist, but no standing water. When the seed breaks and the "nub" root is 1/2-3/4-inch long plant them in the media in the smaller pots. Nub-root down. Keep media moist, not wet, until seed break surface. Use your finger to judge the media after, it should stay moist not wet. Add water to the outer ring to encourage root growth reaching for the perimeter. They really don't need much nute until 3 or 4 leaf sets form. You can add some low, low concentration nute to your peat/perlite mix if you want. Clone ferts at lowest concentration recommended, even 1/2 recommended dose is good. I soak the peat/perlite pots with mix in them in clone nutes a few hours to overnight before planting seed-nubs. Works for me.

Usually yellowing of leaves when their young indicates too much or too little water.

Well no more yellowing really anymore since I got back. They needed to be upped in nutes idk if you read that. I upped them last night. Look better already. As for small pots..that is one thing you will never see me do C. I despise the red solo to 5 inch to 1 to 2 to 3 gl....none of that for me...really think it was just a need to up nutes this time based off of how they responded to the nute change last 24 hours now

 

[ppm Charlie]

You can use a tailored seedling mix too that you can buy. If make your own peat/perlite mix add about 7-8 tbsp of powdered dolomite per cubic foot of mix (a 7.5-gal volume).

Also, transplanting couple of times is good. Never make the pot too big for the seedling. Big pots keep seedling media too wet, too long. Except for the tiniest seedling, ideally the pot should need water every 2-5-days. When they need water every day, time to transplant again.

You also might want to mix in some Mycorrhizal inoculant, it helps root development and root vigor.

RAVING REVIEWS

"BEST results! Get your plant established in veg-this light will make them preach"

"GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT PRICE"

"Excellent"

"Excellent purchase, even bought a second"

This light has already provided so much for my existing girls.

Light notes this grow:

I will probably be moving in a 100W LED from the flower tent to put behind the HB as opposed to having my 6-60W fixture there. I am still debating this and will have a final decision once both tents are up and running and I can better see what I am looking at.

Here's some more shots of the HB1500 in action and a couple spec photos.

Did I mention it came with some pretty rad alien farmer stickers?

Looks like a lot of light…will stayed tuned in Krissi…cheers

I use these: Opening diameter 4”, height 3.3”, bottom diameter 2.7”. They are ideal for succulents, seed starting, cuttings and transplanting. Cheap and efficient.

Yeouch - If I decide to try my hand at soil, I’ll keep that in mind (what IS a safe ph level for soil?)

6.4

@Krissi1982

I use seedling starter Charlie then mix the starter with FFOF then straight FFOF and addendums. Passed the seedling stage now, think that was half the coloring issue- no veg nutes...just the basics...getting too big for that! I'm contemplating the inoculant you mentioned to me a few times now!! I do go against most people's thoughts on watering in soil though, I'm with some of the others-water every day...no dry periods unless i am droughting on purpose. My girls never run that wet dry cycle that some people swear by. Hasn't affected me negatively yet...I'm always listening to any advice, however...I want you to know that.

**************************************
NOTE:
Got back from dinner and checked on these ladies...looking better in the coloring area. Def going to move them to their water reserve pots this week. Keep monitoring their color and see what we see! Happy with them thus far, regardless

 

[cr8grow]

Sooooo what do you suggest for preventing crayons on walls? A baby lattice? Lol I am not proactive with this other than stocking up on Magic Erasers. It's grow room time again again...

Embrace the art and then paint over it later…if you can

Krissi…looking good…maybe a little N…light worm casings perhaps?

 

[BakedARea]

They look loads better already. Nicely done. I'm trying to be better at watching others' journals mindfully just as the other more experienced growers that have helped us all along the way. I need to remember that my reading, comprehension, and memory don't always line up too well.


You've got this! I need to read more and less typing. Haaa haaa.
