Hi there,
Long time listener, first time caller (grower).
I started germification on these girls on Sept. 24th. I used the paper towel method. You can tell one of the plants is significantly larger than the other; I think she wasn't completely ready to be planted, but nonetheless, glad she's growing.
I had an issue last week with overwatering. I also had an issue with pH. I was giving them water (too much of it) and it was balanced to around 7.6. If I were to give any advice at this point, go buy an electric pH reader from amazon. It was $20 and was WAY more accurate than the drop testing kits. You'll notice some yellow and small spots; I'm assuming that's what it's from.
GROW INFO
Northern Lights, seeds from royal queen, feminized. Hybrid, but indica dominant. It's now been in veg for 2 weeks. I grabbed a bag of local organic potting soil that was pretty cheap, but it seems to be working pretty well. I also added perlite. I think next time I'll try to go with a better medium. I'm using 3 gallon fabric pots. I immediately put the seeds in the fabric pots after germ; I've been told now that putting them in a smaller container and then moving them usually yields better results.
This is a tent grow (2 x 2 x 4), with an LED light (400, 450 adding bloom). I have two small fans: one on the top that blows just above the plants, and one on the bottom that blows air out of the tent. No carbon filter; I'm going to see how stinky the house gets first.
Temps stay 70-75 typically. Humidity is around 50-60. I have put one of the fans on the same timer as the lights, so not to cool the tent down too much without a heat source. I also have a humidifier that blows out hot steam. I've used it once and it seemed to do well, but I think they're getting to the age where they might not need it anymore. Thoughts?
I'm only watering every other day (around 1/2 to 1 cup) at this point since they're smaller. I will likely start adjusting this soon.
I'm having a lot of fun doing this so far. I checked on them and took these photos maybe an hour ago, and I could start smelling them! It's beautiful!
Open to any sort of recommendations, comments on photos, encannabisment (kind of like encouragement) , etc. Glad to be a part of the growing community now!

I grew a NL from Royal Queen and it was a nice plant depsite I had no idea when I grew it what I was doing.
she hasn’t grown much in a week. I’m continuing with my normal water/nuits/environment setting in hope of it bouncing back. Any other ideas?
