This is my first grow, I definitely will use all the advice I can get. Using a flood and drain system. Going to start these off with regular water in hydroton for the first week then I plan on using RO water and general hydroponics nutrients. Started seed in AeroGarden sponges and baskets. Light is 1000w led and 100w led side light strips inside grow tent.

I added a little bit of nutrients and lowered my light down. I also have my hot peppers sprouting in my flood and drain system for the moment until I move them outside. My grow area floods twice a day for two minutes.

Had the light too close or some nutrient burn, tips of leaves had some brown. No nutrients added this week. I believe im off on my timeline.

I haven’t changed anything from last week. I’ve just been letting the system flood and drain. New growth is light green so I think it’s starving of nutrients. Haven’t changed the water, but I’m thinking about upping the nutrients a little bit. What do you think?

Short fat and bushy. I raised my light up and turned on side lights. No change in nutrients. Do I need to thin out the small leaves in the middle?

I changed out the RO water and brought the pH back up to 600. Starting to get white hairs, but I don’t know if I’m completely going into flower yet. Have a lot of great undergrowth occurring at the moment. I might try a day with the lights off bextto encourage it to go into complete flowering. Still seems on the small side.

I have no clue what is going on with this plant. It is becoming massive, I don’t think this is royal dwarf because the time it has taken to grow and height. I switched it to 12 hours of red and white light. It’s finally starting to get white hairs now. I may give it one full day of darkness because it seems like it wants to stay in veg, It just keeps growing new leaf’s and shoots. I am going to have to transfer this to my bigger tent at this rate.

I moved this plant into a bigger tent. It just keeps growing, I definitely think the seeds got mixed up..there is no way this is royal dwarf. It has sprouted more hairs, no signs of buds yet. Plant is 17” tall and 2feet wide. Light has been changed to a 1000watt spider farmer. Changed water and brought the nutrient to 800 ppm. Water ph is 6.

I am still having a cal mag problem. I think I may have nutrient locked the plant. I am not going to use RO water anymore because I think it’s part of my issue. I did not change the water but added 4 gallons of filtered tap water. I added 15ml cal mag and no other nutrients. Brought my PH up to 6.4 800 ppm going to try to flush it out a bit and see if it improves. I trimmed up some of the leaves dying leaves at the bottom and some crusty ones on the top. Thinking I only have another 3 weeks till harvest. Hopefully I can make it.

@Titocat, I’m doing general hydroponics 3 part. It seemed like too much nutrient even at low doses.

Usually when the lights to much the leaf tips will curl up.. might be a little nutrient burn .. all good tho..just tone it down a little on the nutes while she's young..Goodluck and happy growing ✌️

@Hempface86, thank you, I was not sure. I was kind of guessing with how much nutrients I could get away with.
