Update for Jack & Coke: Jan. 28, day 7.

First up, Jack.

Jack is almost a day older than Coke, I will treat them both as day 7.
This is Coke.

She's a tad behind her sister but I think all in all they look pretty happy.

I will begin AN, M/G/B, @ .5ml/L in a few days.
I have given them straight water so far. About 1/5 L each, every few days, as needed. I use a small squeeze bottle and slowly squirt a tight circle around the base, hopefully getting to the bottom. Water has not run off but I am assuming this technique is adequate.
I am basing my feed schedule from the Atrains auto feed for beginners, so after a few feeds I will increase M/G/B to 1ml/L.

And a side by side pic. They look much smaller this way. Lol

They look very good for 7 days. If they keep going like that you should easily be able to top at day 14.

Thanks beast.
Are you suggesting I use my LED now? Not exactly sure when the best time is. I asked this question a while ago, and got no response. Expected, seeing I have asked so many, ha-ha.

The simple adjective "very" made me smile. The encouragement is well taken. Thank you so much for your help so far. I feel like I have a team of experts with me. Certainly makes it less intimidating.

Thanks a lot MzSiroz, I don't know where this grow would be right now without the support from fine peeps like yourself.
I was sad to see your journal come to a hault. I have been waiting on an invite to the next episode. Ha-ha.
I am assuming it is the redemption grow? I will be right over.
Peace

Thanks Bill, if I can get anywhere near the beauties you got going for a first time, I will be psyched!

General advice is far easier to get help with than very specific, as there's such a range of opinions on what is "best" on just about every aspect of growing, right from how to acquire anything genetic through to how to consume it.

If you're thinking of adding a light to an existing setup, do it gradually and see how your ladies respond. If you're low on the watts per foot, it'll likely noticeably help, providing you're not otherwise negatively affecting their environment, such as temps and humidity.

Looks happy and healthy to me, if that's any reassurance.

It is definitely reassuring!
I keep using the term "best", when I should be asking for general opinion.
I wonder if I used the LED for the main light and had the t5 on its side, rotating the plants for even penetration. Idk, I'm probably over thinking. You are right, they are doing fine.
Thanks rtk.
Peace

"Knowledge, gear and passion" (the KGP) Love it!

 

[arteekay]

you will bro i'm sure. you have the knowledge the gear and the passion. thats all you need.

Well said. The passion being the most important one of the lot.

It's just stupid fun, right?

 

[Yeatster]

Seriously!

 

[gyftobill]

i dont know about stupid but fun it is for sure

 

[arteekay]

i dont know about stupid but fun it is for sure

May be a regional colloquialism. "Stupid fun" meaning just awesome, a little "aaaahhhh!" out of your mind fun at times even.

 

[gyftobill]

Now i got it man. sorry for my poor english.

Hardly your fault, it's a limitation of the communication channel. No body language. If you saw one of us say it in person, you'd have picked up its meaning easily I'm sure.
