Sweet Leaf's First Grow: WW Auto

[MrSauga]

Yes, but small amounts. Let the center dry out and start a small ring as I mentioned. The pot is big in relation to the seedling so you don't want to drown her.

Again, start the ring 2-3 inches away from the stem. For now don't make the ring too wide... maybe an inch at most. I'd probably start with 1/2 cup max slowly poured in when it's time.

Alright awesome. I got a good idea of what to do. I think ill use my turkey baster and make a perimeter. Thanks for the tip

The trick is to not overwater... the plants needs little to get growing and in fact too much will slow her growth. If the plant looks droopy 24 hours after adding the water it's time to add more.

Ok thanks i will keep a close eye on my watering. And for airflow do they like a little breeze? I have a fan blowing over the tops of them and i can see the plant move back and forth very slightly. Nothing to crazy.

 

[MrSauga]

Yes as it strengthens the stem, but no direct breeze at all. Sounds like you have it set just right.

Just at a week now things seem to be doing good. Just started to do actually watering, if you can kind of tell where the ring is at. Also ive been running them 24/7 so i am going to start running 20/4. Give them a little shut eye. Other than that no concerns at the moment. Been watering with a ph reading of 6, Or as close to it as possible. Is there anything i can do/feed these guys while they are young? Oh and my lights are at about 22-23” should i go lower say 18-20inches?

 

[SweetLeaf89]

How i am lookin? One plant looks kind of weird to me and the leafs seem kind of crinkled? Idk they were getting a good breeze so i raised it a bit.

I guess I missed this last time I was in... sorry.
Did you end up getting the Megacrop? I went looking back but can't really find out if you did.
You can start feeding your plant now if you haven't already... with Megacrop it will be 2g/gal.

It might have been the fan, but it could be just an odd set. She's fine and will grow out of it.

Ok thank you. Where do you recommend getting megacrop from?

 

[SweetLeaf89]

Ok thank you. Alright i ordered some megacrop hopefully have it by the weekend. How often do you feed every watering or couple times a week?

Every time you water you feed. Your plants will benefit from feeding every time. If there is a reason not to then we do a reset which means that you run straight water through until 75% runoff of your pot size.
When used correctly you will not have to reset the medium or flush.

About a 2 week update. Started attempting some LST. Nothing broken so i think im good lol. Also, first day of watering with megacrop. I did the 2grams per gallon as mentioned, thanks for sharing that by the way. So far its been fun, excited to see more growth!!

 

[MrSauga]

Good stuff Sweetleaf! If you see those fans touching the soil just prop them up with something so they don't get damaged. A stone works well. You just don't want them to sit on the wet/damp soil.

Thank thank you. Im feeling pretty confident at this point for never doing this before. Ok, i propped the lower leafs up. My watering has been like 2-3 turkey basters full for each plant every other day. Im sure i will slowly start upping that. Also, how long do i feed at only 2g’s of MC per gallon?

I will tag along, I have a white widow photo going.

You'll be on that for a couple of weeks maybe less. I know it may be a pain in the ass but daily pics will help in teaching you when to increase. If you go a week without posting then maybe I missed out on when to tell you to increase.
It's about listening to the plants so when the green looks lighter on the older lower growth compared to the upper growth it's a good sign to increase.
Checking the leaves closely on the bottom ones for signs of early Mg def is another key sign to increase.

I’m with sauga! Always pay attention, Ur plant’s actually speak out to you. How crazy that may sound.
