New Grower Journal

Transplanted 2 of my big girls in 5 gallon fabric bags. One WFWOG and one blue dream. I decided to go with the viparspectra par 700. Reasonably price and good coverage. Now it does say to keep in around 28-32 inches away for the first couple of days so the plants can get use to the power and blue and white at 50% no red. Is that correct? It seems like a couple of people don't agree with this. I will check it out.

. Here's a better picture of the setup.

The girls are growing.

Some people hit both switches just to add more power, but I've heard conflicting reports on if it actually helps or not.

I'd say run them on veg switch for a week or 2 then add the flowering switch once they are bigger cause why not

 

[Kimber2269]

The girls are at there final resting place.

Today nice little watering. I need some advise. Some leaves are turning yellow underneath. Is this normal? Also. One plant leaves are turning down. Can you guys give some advice. Plus it seems like it's taking forever for them to grow.

 

[bignstrange]

Wow they're coming along, plants grow slowly at first! Have you fed them anythi g yet? I'm guessing were past 14 days from seed yeah?

 

[Kimber2269]

Yeah they sprouted on 9/29 and I put them in the solo cups.

Be careful with FFOF, I'm not too familiar with it but I understand it's a bit of a hot soil. Id say they are due for a feeding, just start at 1/4 stretgth veg nutes and up it from there!
Should see an increase in growth and less yellow after a day

Took pics of my 2 biggest girls. The other ones aren't doing much. I think I was overwatering them. I am on a watering schedule but not seeing them do anything. I picked up some nutes and will apply and next watering. Any suggestions on when to top the big girls?

 

[EastCoastGhost]

Looking good, I would go ah and top now. I would just top the tall one on top node since its already up taller, I think it may be 6th or 7th node. I would top the others at 4 or 5 node.

Coming along nicely Kimber!

!^^^^^sound advice from G! .

 

[Kimber2269]

Scheduled watering and notice getting some really bad yellowing on the big girl leaves. Might be nute burn. Should I just cut those off? The other ones are coming along slowly though. I did notice some growth since I fed them last though.

Here's a time lapse of one week. YouTube

Holy crap your taking clones off the big one right?

Holy crap your taking clones off the big one right?

Not yet since I don't know if it's a male or female yet.

 

[bignstrange]

Pretty vigorous growth, impressive! Things going good overall? I'm having a hard time telling what's up with the different growth rates

 

[Kimber2269]

A little update on the girls.

 

[EastCoastGhost]

Coming along nicely, good job.
