Well, after 24 hours in their new home my babies are slightly droopy. I think part of it may be that I had to reconfigure everything in the grow-room when I transferred them out of the AG, and now the fan blows straight down on them instead of hitting them from the side. This actually sort of helps to almost "tie" them down without actually tying anything, so maybe it's a good thing?
Anyway, after getting more of your advice I did add Hydrogen Peroxide and Epsom salts to my reservoir, both at just a tad less than the recommended dosage. I checked the foam cores of my two smallest plants (the ones with roots that can't reach the water yet) and they were wet , so my drip-line is working!
I am about 10-days into a 12/12 light cycle, but still no apparent signs of sex on my 4 biggest plants. I scoured over them with a magnifying glass and even a high-magnification jeweler's loup, but I can't see any sign that they are showing sex. I know this question has been asked a million times, and I have researched it all over this website and several others. I think I know what I am looking for, and I am pretty sure I am looking in the right place, but I'm not seeing anything yet. Does anyone know if it's normal to see no signs if sex after 10-days in 12/12. By the way, I am at day #35 from seed, using a mix of bag seeds that I have collected through the years. A good number of these seeds probably came from one bag I bought in Cabo, Mexico that had a shit-load of seeds in it (it was also pretty schwaggy weed, but what do you expect for a 500 peso ($45) Mexican 1/2 oz.). The stuff I get in the states is usually sinsemilla, but all the seeds I had were mixed together, so some could be from California, some from Oregon too.
I am hoping that the mexican stuff is a Sativa that was schwaggy just because it was probably grown outdoors in a mexican field full of males and females, and if I can grow it sinsemilla indoors then I will have a nice smoke! I will get pics up soon, but does anyone know if there is a way to tell what kind of plant you have? One of the 4 looks way different from the others. It is a lot less bushy, and the leaves seem like they have much fewer blades, Like instead of 7-9 bladed leaves they have 3-5 blades per leaf.
I sold some junk on eBay, so I have a little cash before payday, I have my eye on some air and water pumps on eBay for fairly cheap, and I was hoping to get some advice on nutrients.
First off, I am still on a really tight budget, so the cheaper the better. I also have a little chemistry training, so I could probably follow a recipe to make up some of my own if anyone has a good recipe. I have head both good and bad things about Fox-Farm, but what about General Hydroponics, or Earth Juice? Also, besides brand, should I be using more than one nute, like they have some for growth, some for blooming, etc. Sorry, I am such a noob at this. I have never grown anything other than a mustache, so in some ways I am surprised I've made it this far.
