I'm going to start from the beginning (GERM).
PREP
Notes: My city water is about the same ppm and pH as my bottled water. ~ 100ppm & ~8.0pH
I have a 3’x3’ grow tent with the following light:
* VIPARSPECTRA 900W LED
Week 1: Germ & Seedling
Feb 7, 2019
* 2000: Soaked seeds in pH 5.8 water. I don’t have any pH down yet. Used a drop of white vinegar to lower the pH.
Feb 8, 2019
* 1400: Prepped the soil in 3gal fabric pots. The soil is a Pete moss blend with nute ratios that are pretty off. N is 1/2 the percentage of K. Mixed the soil with ~20% perlite. Flushed the soil with standard city water real good. Let the pots drain then fluffed the soil up.
* Run-off water from one of the pots sampled had a pH of 6.9
* 2000: moved the seeds to wet paper towels in an open zip lock bag and put them in a drawer.
Feb 9, 2019
* 1800: all 4 seeds have a taproot. They’re tiny though so I’ll transplant them into big pots early in the morning - possibly later tonight.
* 2300: put all 4 seeds in 3 gallon fabric pots. Watered lightly with mist. The taproots were significantly longer than they were at 1800.
* Set the lights on a 20-4 schedule.
* My small fan for inside the tent is busted. Gotta get a new one tomorrow. The big fan that sits at the entrance to the tent is fine… just fine.
* Temp 73deg. & humidity 53%
* Light set to veg.
Feb 10, 2019
* Lightly spray the soil
Feb 11, 2019
* Continued to lightly spray in the AM, in the evening, and before bed.
* 3 of the sprouts have pushed through.
* I can see the 4th sprout. It’s close to pushing through.
Feb 12, 2019
* Lightly spray in the AM, evening, and before bed.
* All 4 seeds have sprouted and are looking fine.
Feb 13, 2019
* All are coming along fine. No sign of stress at all.
* I just keep spraying them a little day by day. I might do a proper watering with minimal nutes on Friday.
* Today is the final day of week 1. See you all next week!
I'll update week 1 toward the end to include pics. According to my current schedule week 2 will begin on Valentine's day. :-) Ahhh... love.

Grow Questions
bigbudgrowdiariesstarted grow question 6 years ago
One of the 4 is drooping but only in the afternoon a few hours before the lights cut out. In the morning she isn't drooping anymore. Normal behavior or odd? She looks normal otherwise. Considering a flush this week. Thoughts? I'm definitely not over/underwatering.

That's typical behaviour for your girls. They get a little fed up of the light and prepare to sleep during the dark hours. Keep on the same schedule but mabey keep an eye on your temps. Looking really nice btw!

Shell be growing this week for sure. Ill love NL its a classic and the buds are always frosty! Im running one mixed with a Lowryder right now she loves the nutrients but Ive always kept the PPM in the 500-650 range at most.

@bigbudgrowdiaries, Im not familiar with GH feeding schedule and am not sure if they have a feed chart for autos. Just keep ib mind automatic flowering strains, not all, require lesser feeding than regular seeds. I found out the hard way... Best advice is to start really low first 4 weeks (150-300ppms) and gradually increase as you move into flowering. Best way to find out the max you can give is using this method and your first sign will be slight nutrient burn on the tips of your leaves. That will give you the best indication of how much they can take but better to get there gradually

@GreenHouseLab, You think the GH schedules are too aggressive?

I would start a good three week flush right now. the yellow leaves mean that the autos life is coming to an end. maybe just hit it with black strap molasses unsulfured, 1 they look real good though teaspoon per/gal
