Everything going smooth so far, plant looks healthy, good response to transplant into WaterFarm Hydro system.

Transitioned to TopoGrow Hydroponic 48''X48''X80'' High Reflective Mylar Grow Tent with 200W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum, and 6'' Inline Fan Filter. Seedling is lime green in color and is drooping slightly. This may be either due to mild shock from change in environment or overwatering as I have been frequently topwatering/cycling water through pebbles in attempt to stabilize pH. Now that pH is stable, top watering will be minimized to allow for health root growth.
5/2- she has responded well. Leaves are looking darker and roots have begun shooting out of the WaterFarm chamber.
5/4 the week overall went well. Plant transitioned to true veg on 5/1. Will continue to increase feeding as appropriate
Is it suggested that I grow with more than just the GH Flora Series (e.g. add Floralicious, Diamond Nectar, Cal-Mag) etc.) with my setup. I am using WaterFarm Hydro Single with ~150 ppm well water. Would like to produce some scrumptious buds!
hey there , keeping it simple is the best solution for sure , but diamond nectar is a great thing and you always need cal mag, floralicious is good too but it changes the taste slightly , not in a bad way but it's a thing ... The main idea is to properly understand the timing and the function of the additional nutrients so that you dont harm the plant : it's much more important to reduce stress in flower than to feed a lot of nutrients. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Currently 3rd week from seed: What’s everyone’s opinion on my current ~65 F temp and 47% humidity? LED is not raising 48x48x80 temp. “Okay“ temp range OR would you suggest to supplement with space heater/aquarium heater, etc.
Assuming that your leaf temp is about 63F, that gives you a VPD of 0.97. A little above the desired range for seedlings. That range is 0.4-0.8. If you can push the humidity up into the 50s it will your plant won't have to work so hard to grow. I strongly suggest you get VPD spreadsheet. You can find one here: https://pulsegrow.com/blogs/learn/vpd
You will need a cheap IR thermometer to measure the temperature of your plant's leaves, but it well worth it.
~1 month from seed and she’s growing great! Feeding has been slightly increased and I have begun some light LST to promote further growth at 3rd node with all this free time I have during COVID.
Plant has yet to show any significant deficiencies/burn symptoms. The pH had been kept in range of 5.4 and 6.2, generally stable.
Temp 64-68 F with 45-48% humidity. I have attempted to add water buckets to increase humidity, with little effect. Have been spraying plants with H2O.
Had a casualty on 5/9: had to cut a fan leaf of the 4th node💀
5/11: plant topped for first time. Star of Main-lining/Manifolding Process. I will be following Nugbukets version of Main-lining.
Made a purchase for some clip on fans.. but they’ve arrived and are non-oscillatory. 😑😑😑
What do we think return them for oscillating fans or keep and just move them around/set them on a schedule.. 😫
Hello.. Hope you are well.. They will work just as gud to move air.. Because u have 2!!..put one at opposite ends a slight upward angle n ur gud to go.. Aim one left and other at u on right if u know wot im mean.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀
Looking for advice from all the experienced growers out there!
I will be topping to create a “mainline“ in the upcoming week. Suggestions to take in Nebula vs Nugbuckets approach?

Hi there nugbuckets is far better at spreading energy evenly throughout the plant, its mt preferred way, where nebulas is also great little less time spent on training, so if time aint a issue for you id prefer nugs method.
5/13 NL was topped at end of week 4. Fan leaves and growth tips removed below 3rd node. LST to 3rd node growth tips and fan leaves.
She is looking to be handling everything very well. 😁Reservoir water is stable. Fan leaves wrinkling due to LST and fast growth.
Nugbuckets mainline for largest plant: to get a larger mainline plant I would wait for my plant to grow out 4 nodes then top to 3rd (for my second topping).. correct?
Also when should I remove my fan leaves from my 3rd node? They’re large than my hand atm.
The main reason for initially waiting with the first topping is to allow the plant to have an established root system and reduce any stress. For the second topping, you would do it as soon as possible (i.e. the 4th node has grown away from the 3rd for a safe topping) - otherwise you're just wasting time the plant has grown. As for the fan leaves, they power the growth so I only cut them once they are getting in the way - removing the growth tips is the important thing. Good luck whichever way you go.. it's all about building up experience.
The future lies with more LST once tips grow out and after the 3rd topping to complete mainline. What’s the prognosis? Should I continue with light LST once grow tips grow out, wait, or no bother.
4 days since injury
1 of 4 fan leaves “stunted”
Thank you! If you don’t mind explaining a little more:🙏
-Can you provide an estimate of long should I wait or what I should expect to see before continuing with LST on that branch?
-Should I use tape/other to support the branch prior to LST in future?
Hello.. Hope you are well.. She will b fine.. U can see she has already formed a knuckle on her split..let her grow out a bit more b4 u train her again.. Leave her stunted fan leaf until u see signs of new growth.. Hope she turns out well 4 u.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀
