I germinated in paper towel overnight and placed in soil pencil eraser depth on 5/15 and placed humidity domes on them until they reached the top of dome.
First attempt at growing my medicine. Using Coast of Maine Platinum Growers Blend for medium and have Fox Farm Trio will use with input from you guys. 2x4x6 tent, MarsHydro SP3000 300watt full spectrum led, 4 in fan with auto control, humidifier, wifi thermometer/hygrometer for tracking. Not too much to report, took the humidity domes off when they reached the top. Watered every 2-3 days around them not on them with PH'ed water.

Halfway through week 2, day 12 Bruce Banner AF and day 10 Deelite AF. Had trouble keeping humidity in the proper VPD chart ranges, but I'm getting there now that I am basing the automatic fan on humidity more than heat after realizing I can push 84 degrees at 70% safely. Not sure if my middle Bruce Banner AF is a runt or not. Not sure if Deelite AF is worth my time, free seed from them and I have other Bruce Banner AF seeds I could maybe make better use of my time with? Not sure if I'm dreaming having enough room for 3 plants in 3 gal fabric pots in 2x4x6. Also not sure if leaves are curling a bit or genetics, overall I think I'm overthinking and everything is going well. Would appreciate any insight or critiques, going off of what I've learned lurking the forum here and elsewhere. I like the vibe here. Thanks!
I defoilated BB1, took 6 leaves during middle of the week and then fed it, BB1 is nute burn on a few tips now so gonna do just water for a bit, and BB2 has some sort of black blochiness on three leaves, also that soil looks green tinted, should I do something? DL is looking dandy for the one that I dont care if lives or dies haha
Hi, the green on the soil suggests it isnt drying out enough causing algae to form.
The spots are a little unusual. Are they just on one leaf? Could they have got wet during watering? I dont think it's a deficiency.
I water with 50% distilled and 50% rain OR 50% distilled and 50% tap. I have fed once with Grow Big and it happened right after. Might have rubbed nozzle on the underside of the leaves. I water every 2-3 days and water until drop of runoff appears in tray. How much runoff?
Hi mate, this is a PH issue. I would not use rain water for the simple fact it may contain pest eggs/larvae and impurities which will affect the PH. Try and keep her around 6-6.5 and maybe do a slurry test of your soil to check the ph your roots are sitting in. Water temperature is also something you need to watch. Between 67-72'F is optimum. Any lower and she will struggle to absorb nutrients. Any higher and the roots struggle to absorb oxygen. To lower the PH of your soil you can use a small amount of agricultural gypsum, dolomite lime to raise it.
I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing.
I switched from distilled to tap water because of all the micro-deficiencies and also lowered ph to 6.4. Also adding CalMag now plus normal nutes and problems seem to be correcting. Please give any advice. I am also watering less now that I know I was overwatering. BB2 soil seems to be very dense for some reason more than the others.
@Canna96, thanks for the comment! It's technically day 12, I couldn't decide if I wanted to do this for sure 🤣 I'm gonna edit the thread. Watchin your auto grows!
I water with either 50% distilled and 50% rain OR 50% distilled and 50% tap. I have fed once with Grow Big and it happened right after that.
