This is my first grow and I was pretty nervous about getting started. I put in a seed that I got from a nug of Chem 91 in a Jiffy pod. Watered it with distilled and kept under a dome under my VS2000 at 40%, 32 inches away, 18 hour cycles. 1/21 - I took the dome off and have a humidifier running. RH is around 60-70%, 1.2 VPD.. A little high I think but it seems to be doing alright. I can't really get the humidity up much more, where I live it's very cold and dry. 1/22 - It's still looking pretty good, VPD is sticking at 1.1 most times. The seedling really is trying to reach the light it seems, I dropped the light to 28 inches and upped to 50% brightness. Will see how tomorrow goes. Also gave it a little juice. 1/23 - I moved the jiffy pod into a solo cup of happy frog soil. I felt as if this was a good idea because the plant was probably using a lot of energy to stay up right since I had messed up having the light so high. The light has been lowered to 16 inches from the ground. Plant probably 10 inches away. It seems to love it, opening right up to the light when it was kinda curling in on itself the past few days.

Deficiency on a sprout? My Chem 91 seems to be doing great but the tips of the new leaves are starting to show some yellowing. Is this something to be concerned about? Gave it a bit of water yesterday. Any help is appreciated.

I don't think this is a deficiency. Just keep it to water only it will grow out of this in a week. FFHF soil or FFOF soils are hot. meaning to much nutrients for sprouts. Autos also have sensitivities to extra feed as well. they like a lower nutrient solution. this is a good reference point to use for feeding guidelines with autos. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/med-man-method-feeding-chart-ppm-ec.47856/ Best Of Luck

Hey bro good looking start. If I may offer some tips & pointers, I would suggest getting yourself 2 very vital pieces of equipment. A PAR meter & a thermal temp gun. They will help you get the most out of your lights potential. I would be looking to get them closer being 200W LED's. Also you could get some more vigorous growth by upping your temps slightly at this stage of growth. In veg & early flower, warmer temps are preferred like low 80's & no more than 9 degrees less when the lights are off. Cannabis plants love heat and humidity, It is the buds that hate it. If you have the time follow my profile & check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary. If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I am here to help! Happy growing friend.

@ShaderKong, I am always glad to help friend. I would get yourself a digital PPM & PH pen from amazon they are not very expensive and make testing much easier. If your PPM's out of the tap are sub 200 PPM then the amount of chlorine in there is not going to be hugely detrimental or noticeable. It is obviously never ideal but not worth the hassle. A couple good things for early feed & Transplant are root stimulators, Rapid start is a great one to get them producing nice big root structures. More root more fruit is the best motto to remember why root growth is hugely important. Secondly is something like NPK industries B-Vital. It is something we use always prior to transplant & after transplant, Prior to de-leafing as well. It braces the plants for any stress & helps them recover from it more rapidly. We run ph of 6.1 all the way through for the most part then 5.9 in flower. If you have strains that can color up depending on what color spectrum they are on you can really help bring it out by either upping or dropping the PH. There are some good articles about this online as well as other ones about how PH is important that will show charts and what happens when your PH falls out of the " sweet spot " what exactly it begins to lock out. You have the right mind-set to get this right quickly. I am a very visual learner so even growing for so long it took me quite a while to complete my skill set to where I am today & I never truly believe anyone becomes a " master " of growing cannabis. It took me learning from others to really put it all together & that is what I am trying to replicate with my tutorials for other people.

@LegacyMarketFarm, Thank you so much!! I know I've said it in my previous replies but the knowledge is truly invaluable. Thank you! I'm taking all of your suggestions and applying them the best I can. I am running off tap water - since it has chlorine in it I put it in gallon jugs and leave it open for the chlorine to evaporate and then I PH the whole jug, 5-6 drops for the first measure (my tap usually runs about 7.5), mix really well, closed of course, and then pour some into a clean cup and measure the PH, repeat till I am getting 6.5. The transplant that I did into the Promix went very well. I've heard great things about it! The Chem 91 is a photoperiod and I put in a 7gal pot, I will post a picture of the roots from the cup, very happy with how its turned out so far. Let me know what you think! Thank you again - you are a legend. Those videos will be awesome to watch!

@ShaderKong, No problem man I love helping people learn how to grow. I will be putting a link to our youtube on our page here that will lead to our business page and all our tutorials free of charge. We will be putting out all content free only form of income from it will be monetization of videos and donations. Feeding is something A LOT of new growers will overdo and burn or stunt their plants. Pro mix is a good soil to use we use pro mix HP. It generally has a pretty good base of nutrients in it for a few days for small plants. You generally are good for the first 5 to 7 days. At this stage very minor feeds are OK to use but not needed 100%. PHed water will be good for the first week after transplant then you can slowly work them into a feed program. A good simple nutrient that I love and stand by for beginners is Medione. It is an organic replacement 1 part feed to your usual 3 part grow/micro/bloom. It can be used for the entirety of a plants growth cycle and do pretty well for a 1 part feed. It is good to keep it VERY simple at first just get the feel for giving your plants proper feeds without burning them get that confidence up of mixing nutrients. If you do not have them already get yourself a digital PPM and PH meter. You can get cheap ones or real good ones, The pens on amazon work just fine until you can afford something like a bluelab. Also, the feed temp of your water is important too. Plants like just shy of 70 degrees. the roots will grow much faster. We use 5 gallon bucket heaters to heat up our big 3,000 gallon resivour when our hot water tanks run out. But it is overlooked by a lot of new growers. I would recommend something like Medione Massive Terpinator Or Grow/micro/bloom Massive Terpinator Once you begin to get the feel for feeding plants and not burning them I will gladly help you expand upon that feed program to make it better. But either of those will work just fine. Look into and study VPD ( Vapor pressure deficit ) and how it relates to growing cannabis. It is a huge part of getting your plants to grow rapidly and at their best. I recommend all growers understand it and utilize it. You will be the first person I link our tutorial series to as soon as it is ready my friend :) I am here always if you have any questions. I respond back to my private messages the best I can.
