Day 10 update.
I'm watering .045 liters or 1.5 ounce (shot glass) of water daily.
They seem to be drinking this amount of water completely every day.
Light schedule is 18/6. Watering at lights on.
PH 6.2 and .2 EC or 100 PPM

Day 12 update
I'm not certain. But I believe things are moving along well.
It is always a good day when new equipment shows up.

I should be able to control my temperature and humidity levels a little better now. Thanks Ink Bird.
I've switched from the T5's to LED today also.
Sorry for the blurple photo. Even though this photo was taken through my glasses.
Ill find a way to get natural light photos in the future.
I cant believe the difference two days makes.
I will also stop taking photos right after lights on and watering.

Looking sweet bud. So what climate units are you using with the controller? Is it just a simple on off relay?

Thanks mkono87.
I'm using the Ink Bird ITC-308 to control a small heater in the tent.
I'm using the Ink Bird IHC-200 to control a humidifier.
The equipment used on these controllers must not be digital. You turn up the settings on your equipment so the controller can control their on and off times. There is lots of great info online for these units.
You can set different parameters on both units. There seems to be some advanced functions Ill use later in the grow.
I'm using the basic set up for now with both of them.
They are simple and straight forward to use.
I told the controller a heat setting of 74. And a difference setting of 4 degrees. If the temperature drops to 69.9 degrees it will turn the heater on until it reaches 74. You can use also the second plug if the temperature would go to 78 degrees to turn on a fan or ac unit etc to cool temps. There is two working plugs on each unit.
The same functions apply for the humidity controller. Turn on a humidifier or dehumidifier or fan etc.
This should really help my temps and humidity. I was noticing a large variance in temps and humidity while using the equipment's controls.

I decided to transplant all 6 ladies into their 3 gallon forever homes today.
I have done this early in the past with no ill side affects for outdoors. I read so much that auto flowers don't like to be transplanted. So my thinking has been to transplant before the roots really reach around the solo cup walls.

Day 13

Thats exactly what I figured, that they cant be digital. My whole house is a smart home so i incorporated my grow into it using DIY methods.

Day 15
Things seem to be moving along nicely so far. I'm starting to see some growth.

Anyone ever experience this?
It has always been like this on this set of leaves.
Any suggestions or questions are welcomed.

 

[MrSauga]

[Silverfox125]

Yep I agree looks like iron deficiency

OK, so your pH is fine. She's hungry. Get some food in her as soon as possible. Things will be good after that.
