2/12/22, Day 21 -Each plant looks sort of yellow. -Watered each plant with about 8oz of solution: 7.25pH, 270ppm/.540 EC 2/13/22, Day 22 -Finally, 24 hours after watering, they are looking to be growing again and getting nice and green in the middle. -The first set of leaves are all getting yellow on these seedlings and will probably die. -After doing a bunch of research and observation on these little ladies, I've concluded that these infernal peat pots are the culprit of my seedling problems. -The peat pots were acting like a wick and sucking water from the soil and the roots and releasing the water vapor into the dry, winter air. -But then you cannot keep water at the bottom of the pot because once these peat pots get wet, you can see white mold patches all over it. They simply suck. -I will never use them again. 2/15/22, Day 24 -Watered each plant with 16oz of solution (7.25pH, 270ppm/.540 EC).

I will be mainlining my plants to 8-16 mains and I'm trying to decide how many plants I can fit in. I was thinking between 2-4 plants, which would be 16-64 colas in that 2ft x 2ft area.

To me it makes no sense to do 2 plants or 6 plants or whatever. You do 1 or you do 4.. Keep it symmetrical. That’s said, I’d be doing it plant if you’re gonna main line you’re taking time to veg and 1 plant will fill up a 2x2 if mainlined - shoot for 16-24 tops.. usually lower growth you can top an extra time, giving you some extra tops. If you’re gonna push more than 16 you better have environmentals on point, cuz you’re gonna have a lot going on in a small spot and can get WPM and humidity issues.. I’d go one plant 16 tops. You’ll be able to flip after 6-8 weeks if you grow decently. Good luck

I don’t recommend going more than your 18 hours.. as far as and exact DLI, I’ve never calculated it for seedlings. Just try to keep things around 250-300 which would be like 15-20 DLI I believe at 18 hours.. maybe push up to 20 if ya like but I think it’s crucial to have a dark period. I also notice (and it could be circumstantial/genetics) but when you have a significant jump in lights on hours and switch to 12/12.. the more difference between the two cycles seems to cause more stretch. For example - going from 20/4 to 12/12 seems to stretch more than 16/8 to 12/12. Just my experience.. Good luck! White widow from ILGM should be a great first grow, I’ve grown about a dozen of their strains

She is one of 7 other seedlings that are doing fine with the same pots and media (50% MG Peat Moss, 50% Vermiculite). A couple days ago she was getting light green in the center. Now she is more light green and the ends of leaves look dying

@esotaro same thing happened to two trainwreck seedlings recently the dry air and heat literally sapped the moisture from the leaves and the plants ended up DEAD πŸ’€ If that is the case not much can be done to save the seedling but you can try to elevate moisture levels in the air

Thank you for all of your guys' help last week with this seedling. I tried to get more humidity in there but it's just so dry here in Arizona winter and just been cheerleading this sprout and the others to stick it out. Looks like this one is growing okay now. What you guys think

I would also avoid using the word soil. medium or substrait would be better as soil is a type of medium you grow in. Yours is mainly comprised of peat, this makes it soilless. As this is a soilless grow I would aim to keep your PH in the range of 5.8-5.9 for vegg and 6.2-6.3 for flower. Your diary says the plants are on week six but they are severely stunted for other 6 week old plants. I think this is because the first three two week of your grow could be the germination week and the third would be week one. This combined with improper PH has caused them to grow slowly. is my theory. I think you could increase the feed up a bit but best to get the PH under control before doing anything else. Good Luck!

good luck so why do you pop 10 seeds if you only have room for 4? or do you want to make a SoG then every plant will have 1-2 budsides 8 is to much happy growing

@JaramnieJazz, Hmm okay 5 plants in .8m x.8m: -So, .8m x .8m = 2.625ft x 2.625ft, which equals 6.89sq/ft. -5 plants with 8 mains each -40 mains total -5.8 mains per sq ft So I have 2ft x 2ft, which equals 4sq/ft. 5.8 mains per sq/ft for my area is 23.2 mains total. I could do 3 plants with 8 mains each totaling 24 mains, which is 6 mains per sq/ft, similar to yours. I'm gonna check out your grow and see how it looks. Thanks for the input~ πŸ‘πŸ’ͺ🌱

@esotaro,then SoG is the way alot plants not topped or just ones then u can shorten veg to about 3 weeks it depends if its indica or sativa indica whould need more veg and sativas like haze u could go direct into 12/12 and end with 1-1,5m plants

Bro. Your RH is way tooo low and PH way too high.. 65-75% veg Preflower 45-60 max Mid-harvest 35-45max. ph for soil can range from 5.8-6.3max for best growth. Anything out of that range isn't good. Good luck bro.

Hey there friend. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1 This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. I really think you would benefit from our tutorial series on youtube, Our channel is linked off our main grow diaries profile. We just put up week 3 of plant life care so you got time to subscribe and catch up before the next episode is out! I look forward to seeing you over there and hearing your feedback to better help me shape the tutorials Happy growing friend!
