First grow! How is it looking?

[Baileysmiles]

I am so excited! I am in second week of flower and they are changing very quickly. Sorry for the lights but I have no other light in that room. How do they look? Any advice so far?
I am growing in promix with perlite and vermiculite. I haven't come up with a better way to water so I take them into the bathtub but this will get harder as they get bigger. Any ideas on how to water and deal with the run off in a better way?

looking good so far , they kinda looked stretched to me.

you can put them in a rubbermade tub raised off the ground at a slight incline with a valve that you can drain the water out and also test the PH

there going to be 6 feet tall

i was thinking tha same thing what lights you using? space?temp?

 

[Baileysmiles]

I know! I am a little worried. I have two 250w HPS lights over them. They are in 3 gallon pots. They were in veg for about a month from clone. The temps are 82 day and dropping to 60 night. Rh is getting a little high sometimes like 70 in the last 24 but I have the side open and can get it to land about 45. I had them tied down but they were getting to wide for my light span. How long does stretch usually last?

Oh the space is normal ceiling height so 8 feet tall and a 3 by 6 area walled off with panda film and two by threes.

hahaha! I got them on 12/6. They were like 8 in tall.

They will stretch when you put them into flower. I'm on my first grow also. My bubblelicious was 18" tall and stretched another 6" during start of 12/12 and before flowering started. My Master Cush stretched 12".

So wuts ur nutes and schedual

 

[Baileysmiles]

Well I kinda starved them the first week I got them, no ppm pen yet. I have since gotten them on a better schedule. I water/feed about every third day. I am doing a 1-1-1 ratio with gh micro,grow,bloom. I also add cal/mag, protekt, hygrozyme, and now added mollases. Last feeding was at about 900 ppm.

Just curious, what made you use vermiculite with the Pro-mix ?

I read it somewhere, helps with drainage and water/oxygen retention I believe. So far I like it. I like the texture, it's spongy.

 

[smokegreenshlt]

Nice. Looks like u found a good method. Stick with it! Where do u pH ur water at

 

[Baileysmiles]

I float between 5.3-5.8. I have a black water that is sativa dom and it seems to want something but still have not figured it out yet. The others all like what I am doing so far. I am just so excited to be growing! Can't wait til the end!

hope you have 30 ft ceilings

Is there something I can do to help keep them shorter while in flower? I was doing lst but they got so bushy. I will only do four on the next run. Might be easier to control.

How long have you had them in veg?
