Bro, I've done 8 grows and my cubes stayed soaked 24/7 for 9 weeks.

Re: First grow, 400w mh/hps, nirvana NL + wonder woman~
You're right Roseman, I checked the output of the tubes and WW1 (doing the best) had water coming to it about 2x faster than WW2 (doing not as good). The trickle coming out of the bottom of the cup was also not as steady. So it must have been not enough water.

OK, I'm starting this thing so we have a place to hang and help. What it becomes is completely up to you fine growers. OK, for the first report. My grow has settled into that exciting time where females have been identified, the males have been whacked, fim is done, supercrop has...

Quick update and some numbers:
Air temp: 75
Humidity: 55
Light distance from tops: 20" (thinking I can start to move closer)
Wonder Women - 12 days old
Res temp: 71.8
PH: 5.93
PPM: 228
WW1 is still going strong. Has a root pretty far in the water and starting to see more below the cup. First node measure 3.5" across and 2nd node is coming in.
WW2 is doing better. The tiny leaf is catching up and it doesn't look so droopy.
Blue Mystic - 11 days old
Res temp: 73.2
PH: 6.07
PPM: 230
BM1 is looking good, my second biggest next to WW1. No roots showing below the cup yet. Every time I check I think they will be there but they aren't.
BM2 is the smallest, but the 2nd to show roots below the cup. The tip of the root is just in the deep water.
Northern Light #2 - 4 days old
Res temp: 71.3
PH: 5.79
PPM: 158
Looking good, about 1" tall and the leaves are almost all the way free of the seed casing.

I'm still watching. Looks like smooth sailing, so far.

Re: First grow, 400w mh/hps, nirvana NL + wonder woman~
Thanks Roseman, things are going pretty well so far.
Saturday I did a full res change and went to 1/2 strength nutes. I'm pretty much following this to the letter, so I did half of the "mild growth" stage.
These were taken 24 hours after the change and they seem to be taking well to the nutes. I noticed a darker green color and solid growth overall.
Would I consider all of these to officially be in vegetative growth or still seeding?

I'm thinking about going another 1/4 tomorrow morning if all is still going well.

Re: First grow, 400w mh/hps, nirvana NL + wonder woman~
Are my plants old enough that I would expect 1-2 inches growth daily if all is going well?
The pics in the last post were taken at 13-14 days from seed.

Not Enough Food is far better than TOO MUCH Food.
Those are still seedlings and should stay within the 300 to 500 ppm range for a couple more days, in my humble opinion.

You are not growing RAPID GROWTH strains there.
If you look at my Tutorial, I ws getting one inch a day froms eeds, to 12 inches tall on the 12th day from seed. At 35 days from seed, I had 32 to 35 inch tall plants and a few runts 18 inches tall in there too.
I had twice the lumens needed, perfect temps and humidity, very close lights, and a rapid growing strain too.

Thanks Roseman, I'm going to stay where I'm at then.
How do I know when they have officially entered the vegetative state?

It is argued and debated, but When they show a 3rd or 4th node, they are no longer sprouts or seedlings.

Feeding them too little is far better and much safer, than feeding them too much.

Just got my shears in the mail a couple days ago
I think I will FIM and not fully top, is that what is recommended? Roseman, your guide says you top and FIM. How do you do both? Top then a day or two later FIM the new growth?
