Hello all, Im a new grower started my first grow 2 weeks ago. 3x3x6 grow tent with 450w LED. Strain is strawberry cough. in Starter soil w/ bat guano and worm droppings. 1 fan and 1 humidifier. Temp about 79 humidity around 57% There's so much info out here and so many ways to do things. I wanted to find a place to share my experience and be able to draw on the experience of others as I have no idea what i'm doing but, having so much fun learning. Would love some feedback. Do the girls look ok? are they the right size? I just want be sure I'm doing the right things. I water about every 4 days or so 1/2 a cup each. Thank in advance. Excited to be a part of the forum and to hear from some experienced growers!

Welcome to the block. Lots of Growers here the love to share info and tips. Looks like you got a pretty good start. How deep are the pots your plants are in?

 

[Growfish]

Not sure they came with the germination kit. Along with a plastic dome. it looks like about 1 cup.

Welcome to . Soil grower here also. What is your base you are using? I am using ProMix-HP.

As bat guano is very expensive, I save for later during flower as it is more important at that time. I add it in as a top dress and add it to a brew.

You might want to think about getting somthin a little deeper. I learned it shallow pots kind of hinder your plants growth because the roots I don't have very much space to grow. A lot of people choose to use Solo cups, with the corners clipped off for drainage. It offers plenty of space for your plants to grow. You might want to check with another experience grower when it comes to whether or not you should transplant those or leave them where they lay. The pictures below or normally what I start out with and when I transplant they are big enough to sustain themselves in a bigger pot like the last picture. I'm a new grower myself this is my only my second grow. I just wanted to share what I learned this far.https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/g-i-jose-grow.475027/

I apologize for my newness but, I didn’t mix this. I bought it premade. I will post a pic of the brand when I get home. It’s a starter mix that includes those things.

No need to apologize, a lot of us are new and trying to figure this out just like you.

Welcome to 420 magazine Growfish .

Thank you!

 

[TurboBucket]

everything looks on track so far. General rule of thumb is up pot when the plant is as wide as the container should be ready to go in a week or so.

Take a look through here to learn how to care for those girls.

Thank you! Will check it out when I get home.
