Day 22 - Watered deeply. 1.5 gals overall. Light = 18", 20/4, @75% intensity - I water with ph adjusted (lower 6s) distilled. Pics of the tallest and best looking one above. Day 24 - they are growing incredibly fast. Light intensity and distance are kept at manufacturers recommendations. Right now 18 inches and 75% intensity. Added a 2L reptile style humidifier. It's inside the tent for now and hooked up to a sensor that will hopefully keep the humidity at or around 60%. I also have a small 200w heater ready to go but I don't think I'll need that very often... Day 25 - everyone's looking good. The runt is coming along and the new humidifier is working great! All I have going in the grow room is some humidification otherwise the tent is self sufficient. Loving life... Watered late... Day 27 - these are growing fast now. The tallest has some small hairs. Looking very healthy. Watered deeply. Day 28 - Last day of this week. These babies have grown a lot this week. Posted a couple pics from today.

My 5 gal cloth pots are layered with approx 1/3 Cali Super Soil (bottom) and 2/3 Fox Farm Ocean Forest (top). I assume when the roots reach the super soil all nutes will be supplied. But what happens until then? Should i provide nutes until they reach the SS and if so what kind?

Do nothing for now. You can usually go 3-4 weeks with Ocean Forest and no additional nutrients. Your super soil layer on the bottom could buy you more time for needing more nutes. Just keep an eye on your plants and listen to what they are telling you. This site (https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-symptoms-pictures) has pictures that show many of the most common problems you might have. I am not a fan of layering soils. I want all the soil working. But super soil can be really good stuff! Make sure you water slowly and deeply, especially when the plants get larger. Early on you want to water beyond where you think the roots are. Roots will not grow into dry soil so you want nice moist soil for them to seek out. Then when the plants get bigger feel the bottom of the pot to make sure you are getting water all the way to the bottom. You can feel and see the sides of the pot to feel how you are watering the sides. Just make sure to water slowly. Water takes the path of least resistance so if water erupts out the side of the pot, water more slowly so it's soaking the soil and not blowing out the side. Fabric pots evaporate a lot of water so don't be surprised if you need to water heavily every day. With 19 liter (5 gal) pots I'm watering every day and each pot takes 1.5 - 2 liter of water when in late veg & early flower.

For example I look up Afghan Kush Ryder. The overview says "flowering takes 45-55 days" and then in the description part it says "Flowering - 70 days". I assume it means once you reach the flowering stage it will flower for 45-55 days and harvest in 70. Am I close? Thx!

I diagnosed these pics and added some Tiger Bloom (2-8-4). Now I'm thinking I need some CalMag. Do you have any recommendations? Adding the Tiger Bloom was the first nute I have ever added. See substrate used. 4 of 6 plants have variations of this and it's slowly getting worse.

I think it was smart to add in some Tiger Bloom in case it was lacking a bit of P. CalMg is also a good option. The spots look like calcium issues but also potassium. however potassium will be covered in tiger bloom as well. Give it some calmg and check how its doing in the following week. I'd also raise your ph to 6.5 in soil grows Best Of Luck

Howdy peeps. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on Burp Lids. I'm nearing my first harvest and think that maybe these are worth getting. Does anyone here use these? Thanks in advance!

Or you can just untwist the jar lid. ;) Can't see this is worth the extra expense especially if it's just your first harvest and you don't have dozens of jars to work with.

@OrganicNature420, Thank you for your input! I do have my heat mats working properly now - they were reading 20c and are now set for 22c and are now "ON" (I read in a couple places that 22c was the proper substrate temp). I will immediately increase the tent temp to 27c per your suggestion. As I look for a better device I have cranked up the room humidifier to it's max of 65%. Many thanks...

OrganicNature420commented3 years ago
@DaBeers, for day 15 they are looking a little behind bro. Always start in smaller pots and get a propergater to keep seedlings warm and high humidity for 1st week. I'm guessing your temps are a little low aswell as your humidity? Your looking for 27c and 70% humidity. A 3lt humidifier will work great in your tent. Will only cost you ยฃ30 and is a key piece of equipment that's needed

@Sour_D,Thanks Bud. My goal this grow, and every grow actually, is to not use anything external just use the soil that nature (that's me!) has provided the plants lol. They are looking great so far IMHO.

Burplids have many flaws. I tossed mine the first time I used the. When they would not keep the seal sealed. Multiple times. To bad good concept poor cheaply made product.
