Being my first grow, I have nothing to compare with besides the other strain grown with this crop. What I know is that I messed up several times,but nothing took much of a toll. I even worked myself into a corner, running out of room in my flower tent, and I paid with a substandard yield, but it still packs a wallop. I will definitely be growing another crop of Sweet Zombie.

I found the nutes easy to deal with. My only issue was when I first introduced Cal-Mag, I didn't understand it had to be mixed in first. That mistake aside, all went well. I'll be continuing to use Advanced Nutrients.
Great addition to your nute mix. I will continue to use.

This was my first crop, and I learned a lot. My biggest takeaways were: 1) don't fret stuff in vegge; they're going to be alright. 2) it's easy to over-water seedlings; allow to dry some before adding water. 3) making your plant bush-out begins in propagation; apply sufficient light so seedlings don't stretch between nodes. 4) size does matter; when the plants really begin to grow, they GROW! If you're growing in tents or for whatever reason will transplant between vegge and flower, transplant while there's room to double in size.

Grow Questions

Many of my seedlings are drooping, with some yellowing and even some brown spots. I think my increased watering schedule is the problem. Does that sound right? What corrective action should I take?

Hey elmer bud I saw that this question is 6 days old and was wondering if you ever transplanted them? You are correct that rockwool is VERY sensitive to overwatering. With those size cubes you want to plant them as soon as the roots start coming put of the bottom. But once you transplant them quite the opposite will happen. The grow medium you plant them in will pull water out of the rockwool so you will not have the overwatering issue anymore. I use perlite mostly but have used the clay pebbles, soil, coco and you want to plant them in something asap. Hopefully you already have. Curious to see an update on how they are doing. Good luck!

Hey curious what you ended up doing with these girls? Hope they are doing well!

@ElmerBud, I just ordered some general hydroponics rapid rooters they are supposed to have better airflow than rockwool and a little dose of nutrients to give them a kickstart. They sound pretty nice. I have heard great things about them.

@ElmerBud, once you get them planted they will do much better. I look forward to the update! Will follow along.

@Wicked_Stix, Hey, thanks for the input. I've been out of town, was gone for a few days, and that sort of put everything on hold. I've still not transplanted, though that is the pan for later today. I look forward to my next go-round and taking advantage of your sage advice to transplant much earlier. I'll be posting an update here shortly, but the short version is that I continue to ride the over/under watering merry-go-round. Thanks!

First a big thanks to the responses I received here. Lots of good advice along with a fair amount of encouragement . . . what could be better. Hindsight now tells me that the problem was definitely overwatering; I seem to be a serial offender. I regret putting my girls through the back and forth cycle, but it'll all hopefully workout in the end anyway. I'm now equipped to do better next time. Live and learn.
