New First Time Grower Needs Some Tips

[Fresh 81grower]

Much love to everyone here. I started actually by accident. Had some seeds in the bag so I decided what the heck. Surprisingly they sprouted so I had to get all my supplies.

Strain “Critical Kush” (maybe lol)
Growing medium Fix Farms ocean forest mixed with 30% perlite.
600 w mars grow light set about 2’ above
45-55% humidity in 3x3x5’ tent.
Indoor closet grow
Temp ranges between 75-80 degrees F
Cal Mag, Fox Farm grow big, tiger bloom fertilizer. For nutrients. Only have fed once 4 days ago. Normal watering every 2-3 days I’m nervous to overwater. Ph level around 6.
Seedlings planted into cups then pots, seedlings sprouted on April 10th 2020 so total time I’d guess 25 days. Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated. Are they small for 25 days?
I’m seeing also a bit of yellow spotting in a few leaves I’ll post pics below. Thanks In advance.

Doing really good! They’ve grown a lot and unfortunately one of them turned out to be a male plant so I removed it from the tent. But here’s some updated pics. If anyone has tips or feed back please share.

plugging right along!

welcome to

you should click the full image option under text bar before posting. I find the full images are easier to look at. When ever I click on thumbnail photos, only half the photo loads.

@Backlipslide thank you much! I’ll try that with next update photos also.
This is teaching me patience for sure.....

Ahh much better! Beautiful girls you got (or atleast let’s hope they’re girls!)

These are definitely pollen sacs? I pulled him out of the tent smh (help)

 

[Backlipslide]

Yep that’s a male. You will want to carefully cull that plant down. Remove from the others and chop her down. Unless you have an isolated area for it to grow and collect pollen. If not then kill him!!

Next batch, or now, put some holes in sides of pot. More oxygen to roots. I went
to bags for the girls. Even trying bags outdoors for her tomatoes. They look guud for you just trying for the first time!

 

[Fresh 81grower]

Thanks for the tips!!! I really appreciate it.

I put holes in the sides of my pots on my first run. I will never be doing that again. I ended up putting tape over those holes. It’s hard to get a proper BLT watering when those holes are in the side. Water just runs right out them.

 

[Finnicki]

Use a bag then. It shows on the bottoms when water reaches there. Then you know when to stop. Can’t wait to see how the tomatoes do.

 

[Backlipslide]

Yes sir I know. I grow in 5 gal cloth pots.

I’ve been around long enough to know a few tricks of the trade.

 

[Backlipslide]

Give the link in my journal a read. Called watering with the blt method.

I’ve read Emiiya’s watering method. Need to teach that method to my part time waterer when we go away for a few days. I HAD planned on using 15 gal bags but waay too big. Those are outside for tomatoes. Three gal is what I use now. Best of luck to you!!

 

[Backlipslide]

I’ve read Emiiya’s watering method

Oh okay, that solves all your problems then.
Good luck to you sir.

Here’s the latest. It’s been officially 5 weeks, of flower 12/12 lighting. Watering with 6.0 ph water & nutrients for bloom every other feeding. I think they’re looking good!!! Any feedback welcomed. Much love y’all!
