So had a 100 percent germination rate! Woot woot! Transfered the girls the dome da dome dome dome, added a cap of water to each. Frustrated with amazon , my T4 pro inline fan by AC Infinity was supposed to be here yesterday , but some how the order was canceled last night so I gotta wait a few days for the money to be refunded to try to order again , still got a 75 cfm fan pumping air in and a 100cfm fan pulling air out it'll work for now. also it was 48 degrees F last night so I broke out a space heater on low to keep it around 78.6 . Loving these girls already and we've only just met ! ❤️

Hey growers ! Can I get someone's input on what would cause the tips of one of my seedlings first pointed leaves to be white ? It's only one plant out of 4 but If it's something I need to correct I'd like to do it early , thanks in advance! Happy growing :)

i'd wager the growbig dose you gave plus the initial ~1EC charge in promix might be a bit too much for the seedling -- especially if there was no runoff water. Becareful with fertilization early on. What the promix has in it is enough for 7-14 days at least. Then, since soilles you'll be watering with 10-15% runoff waste and that will maintain whatever EC your fertilization is in the substrate. 1.3-1.5EC once you ramp up. Observe and react to plant. Take notes for next time. It will help, but don't expect 100% constency in how things turn out.. ballpark idea only as so many variables can change. Even your regional seasons will impact what you do at times. No big deal.. if not getting worse, just keep irrigating as needed. The early leaves are sometimes fugly, too. If newer growth is flawless, i wouldn't think twice about the cotys or single/three-bladed leaves. soilless-- fertilize every single irrigation -- though maybe not the first. You may need to ramp up over first 2-3 weeks, while some plants can take more sooner. Can use the coty's as guide.. once they start to pale, you know it needs more nutes. If that time period is fairly consistent, you can premeptively start to fertilize around then in future with confidence. Always water to runoff of 10% or more. This will just about guarantee no EC swings in your substrate barring massive microbial problems. That's waste water.. goes down the drain or okay to use on outside plants only. don't let it sit in it. You'll just grow nasty stuff and roots will be drowning in stagnant, high EC water at bottom of pot. Wait for top layer to dry, unless you are trying to do multiple fertigations per day. Learn the weight at that point as it's your best cue to water. You'd need way more perlite for frequent irrigations, though.. Regardless, in future go for a cumulative 50% portion of substrate being perlite or similar amendment for drainage properties - vermiculite, rice hulles, perlite, hydroton, whatever.. though huge and chunky is not best (lookin at you hydroton and the super coarse perlite that is 1/4-1.2" large or large wood chips, lol.. just making roots work 3x harder to go around it). You'll get better growth rates, reduce risks... only downside is you may need to water sooner than before. Do that with a 1.3-1.5 EC and you will not encounter many problems.. if you do they will be slow-moving and easy to be patient while correcting anything. Take notes... until it's familiar. it will speed up learning curve. Find a ppm calculator online.. knowing what you feed in a soilless grow is very useful information... once you dial stuff in you won't bother, but early on it helps illuminate causality.

Some how messed my weeks up in the diaries, some I'm just gonna add these here. Moved from the cup of water to a moss plug , they sprouted after 48 hours . Have 4 healthy looking seedlings , although one has white tips on its first pointed leaves. Appreciate all the love !

So I couldn't be much happier with how this week has grown. The three durban ladies seem to be growing strong. I finally received my inline fan from AC infinity and been getting the atmosphere dialed in . Working with a space heater and humidifier on smart receptacles along with a wifi hygrometer and the AC 69 controller , I've been able to keep a constant 76 to 78 degrees F, 57 to 60 percent humidity and a Vpd of 1.1 for the last week. I started my nutrients this week FloraNova and the plant seem receptive. I've been working my ass off 6 days a week wiring houses so I can afford the money I'm putting into my new garden. I've found my new happy place. I also planted 3 more a day after the durbans , Gorilla glue #4 Gold leaf x supersilver haze - we are calling " Federal Reserve" And a Amnesia Haze I came home yesterday a a cricket was eating the amnesia , he killed it , I hope he was high when I made an example out of him, which apparently didn't work because I killed another in my grow room today. I have two wolf spiders that chill between my pots I names freki and geri. They are there everyday kinda cool , although yhey must not eat crickets. So I became concerned about lighting so I deprived the wife of food this week (LOL)and ordered a 2000w spiderfarmer to complement the other SF two lights ,really loving these lights.

So I topped the two photo periods, and I decided to change nutrients to Nectar of the Gods , followed the directions in their sample pack , added a drip fertagation system , feeding approx. 100 ml every six hours per plant, been straight feeding, no plain water , tds is around 830ppm going in, gonna check soil Tds tomorrow, so far though the girls are loving the nectar , also got my lighting situation straight and added a CO2 tank and controller , keeping the room around 1200ppm during the day. Finally getting the atmospheric variables really dialed in , sealed off my grow room a little better with spray foam last week , went the whole week with only 2 degree range of temperature all week , humidity varied about 6 percent , with the mean at 60.6 percent . Noticing that managing Ph, Temp, Humidity, and atmosphere is really the best thing I can do for my girls , they respond with crazy new growth. Super excited for next week.

Topped the photoperiod plants and continued LST on the autos , pruning to allow air and co2 and light , plants are really growing well , durbans are showing preflowers , pushing the NFTG modified greek feeding schedule pretty hard . Feeding every 8 hours ,500ml .Realized my lights were prolly a little close so I raised them about a foot . Trying to decide if I should trellis ? Any input is appreciated!
