Second Grow - Let's Try This Again

[DominaMortem]

I'll definitely be getting that! Thanks. Especially with the 3 girls I have downstairs. They are so bad I'm embarrassed to show them.

She just throwing her solar panels up!!

Ha! Brilliant.

So just a quick update. Girls are looking great. The 2 Afghani seeds popped today. What is the ideal length for the taproot to be before planting? Also I'm topping my 3 girls downstairs then I'll take a picture and see if you guys have any suggestions on fixing them.

 

[DominaMortem]

It's their bedtime.

If they are out of the shell, give them a home!!

 

[DominaMortem]

Girls are doing great! Still waiting for the Afghani to pop the surface.

 

[Blazin Waffle]

Looking good!! Nice color!

 

[OregonFarmer]

I agree with Blazin- Nice color!

 

[DominaMortem]

They are growing like no ones business!

 

[Scientific]

Looking good!

One Afghani has officially popped above soil. The other should soon. A couple days ago I had checked on the seeds and they were both growing down. I got that fixed so we should be good

 

[DominaMortem]

So I need some advice. I need to flush my plants downstairs and I was told to do 15 gallons per plant at a pH of 6 (trying to correct a pH problem). I would imagine I can't reuse the water to flush each plant. How do I fix my soil after that?

There is a big cult of flushing here. Got a problem? Flush! Magic! It reminds me of doctors bleeding their patients in pre-scientific times...

If you can give some detailed information (and photos, ideally) as to what happened and what you're trying to accomplish, that would help to answer your question. Questions for you: how are you measuring pH? Do you have a PPM meter?

Here are the 2 Silver Jack and the little baby Afghani (the second one is almost popped above soil. Is it too early to start lst on the SO?

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

Subbed!

 

[DominaMortem]

Subbed!

Welcome!

 

[DominaMortem]

I'm excited. Moving my grow room to a bedroom upstairs. Will be working on that today

 

[DominaMortem]

So it's time for me to start feeding the 2 Silver Jack. What's a good ppm to start at?

 

[Scientific]

How old are they now? Seedlings maybe 100 or 200 PPM. Better to go too light than too much. Then watch leaf tips closely for signs of yellowing as you increase the dosage. When you use a standard three-bottle solution, you can go by the manufacturer's recommendation (though usually half strength). When you brew your own stew, you have to figure it out for yourself.

Past few days have been extremely hectic. When I checked on the girls this evening I noticed they were showing deficiencies and needed that first feeding. The 2 Afghani babies are confusing me and I'm not sure I'll keep them. They one isn't growing taller at all.....
