What's a Swempy?

Sooo, I neglected to mention that I was, as usual, starting these girls under a t5 HO seedling light.
I have raised it a couple of cm, as per the suggestion from @Janluna and I will be moving them to a tent soon.
I'm about to improvise a swick stand based on a design I saw @Hash Hound post with strips cut from a fabric pot that a squirrel chewed a hole through, a pot elevator, and a saucer.
If things get aggravating enough I have a plan C, that I'm pretty sure everyone will consider a bad idea :D
Oh, and I turned the tray holding the cups 180⁰.

Beauties! They seems to be leaning away from the light. Bring the intensity down or raise the light. 👉🏼
Thanks Jan!
 
I haven't moved them yet, as I haven't made the swick stand for them.
They'll get a full feed of MC today at 1g/litre.
I missed a day, which is why they're a little pale.

Got them into the 60x60cm tent for now, and onto the swick base, which has a bunch of 1g/litre MC in it. They all have roots poking out the bottoms of the pots, which are now in direct contact with the wick.

They'll be moved to the big tent after I harvest the Black Sugar.
I'll be starting my pepper seedlings soon, so having 2 tents in operation won't make much sense.

Hey Mel! Not as unholy as I'd hoped :winkyface: but very healthy and nice! :thumb:
Thanks Stone!
Yeah, I may have oversold it just a smidge!
 
😬 The swick works a little too well I guess.

I thought this might happen, so I cut 4 wicks, and I have now pulled 2 of them up out of the nute solution.
When they get a bit bigger I can put them back in.

They're still not happy.
I'm not going to baby them. They're still growing, new leaves are coming out.
They'll adapt.

In other news, they're here!
I was about to start setting them up at lights on when I realized I needed to get a new extension cord. The one I'm using only has one outlet on it.

Thanks con!
They're up, but I still need to make some adjustments.
I second that Yahoo a new light. 🍋
:)
Nice new light but a little stealth in the packaging wouldn't be so terrible!
I guess they figure there's no need since legalization.
I agree though, a nondescript box would have been better.

Here's a pic of the lights up in the tent.
 
Plan B.1
I will be watering from the top, and allowing the wick to absorb the overflow.
Mimosa seems to have abandoned her lowest set of true leaves, and Godzilla Glue #4 has some spotting.
They're all still growing though.

are they all being over watered ?

Yeah. They're all on one wick, and all of them have roots sticking out the bottoms of the pots.
I really didn't think this through well enough tbh.
I really just want get them big enough to take clones for this summer, then I'll flip these girls.
This journal is really just for fun.
 
They're starting to adapt.
I top watered them yesterday to slight runoff, which was absorbed by the wick. The wick is still slightly damp, so I'll be doing it again tomorrow.
