Just started these seeds this week, looks like I have some overwatering issues. I’m going to have to try to get them to dry out some. Plan to switch them to their 2 gallon pots next week. Then I’ll be starting lst and fox farm nutrients at week 3

I’m not having an easy time growing these seeds. Some of the foliage is yellowing. Giving 2 to 3 teaspoons of water each day and now they’re under my bigger lights and in their new pots. I’ll be starting 3 more seeds today just in case these ones end up dying

Things are starting to go a lot better still watering with just ph’d water. I started four more seeds. All of which germinated. I’ve learned that you should follow instructions and germinate these seeds in their final pots like instructed. I had a lot easier time with the second batch. They really didn’t like the transplant even with the peat pots...Good luck and happy growing

I’ve learned a lot from this grow already. The early transplant set the first run of seeds back. The second batch have nearly surpassed most of the seeds in growth from the first batch. I started feeding 1tsp “grow big” to 2tsp big bloom per gallon this week.

The second round of seeds are only on week 3 and they have completely surpassed the first batch that were transplanted. Two of the pots from the first batch have already started to flower and look pretty bad so I put down another 4 seeds. All of which Germinated. I’m watering with ph’d tap and using the trio of fox farm on the 2 plants from the first run that have entered flower, and just the “grow big”and the “Big Bloom”on all the rest. The 4 new seedlings are just getting ph’d tap water. About 5 tsp. With a dropper And 2 rounds of misting per day. Larger plants get about 150ml per day. Only feeding every other watering.

This week is going great. Most of the plants from the first run are turning to flower so I am watering with 3tsp big bloom to 2tsp tiger bloom per gallon on those. The second run of plants are just starting to stretch. So I opted for 3tsp big bloom, 1tsp grow big and 1 tsp tiger bloom. The 3rd run of seeds are just getting ph’d tap water

Using the fox farm big bloom and tiger bloom. Most of the first and second run of plants have started to flower. I think on my next grow I’ll need more lights. It will be interesting to see what the yield from 14 plants is under just 350 watts of lighting. Plants look okay and some of them have bushed out quite a bit with heights over 20 inches.

It’s been a very long week, had a cold night in the basement, so I started up the little heater I had. Of course it pops the breaker and my lights went out for an unknown amount of time. I did discover though that these plants hate extreme cold, Atleast when not acclimated to being outdoors. When I came down that morning leaves were extremely droopy. They looked awful. Got it all fixed now. Plants had some decent growth. Heights range from 25 to 28 inches in height.

Nice grow, are you trying to get a continual harvest going?

@Larry21, yeah that sounds like it could be annoying. Wish you the best with the rest of this cycle. I'll be following to see how it goes.

@indoorontario, yes, but I don’t think I’ll continue it after these 3 runs are done. Mixing 3 separate batches of nutrients is getting a little tedious
