any recomendations of how and with what exactly I am mixing up here? I will google it but I am just wondering how exactly you do it just so I know I am not reading some junk

i fill a whole bathtub when i water and i let it sit for 24 hours then i drain most of it except like 15 gallons and i put one cup into a sock or coffee filter and make a teabag out of it. a sock works the best. dip it in the water for a few seconds then squeeze it out really good, repeat a few times and your water will be brown now. bloodtea! then add your regular nutes but if your just on your seedlings then do not add anything and if your gonna do like a 3 gallon bucket or similar then make a tea bag thats about the size of a real tea bag .

Yo! Don't feed them til they look like they need food. As long as they're nice and green they're fine. The lower leaves will tell you when the plant is hungry. They should be fine this young, especially if they're in soil with food in it.

Ok guys I went out to my remote location in the woods to checkout my plants finally, they are nearly 2 months old and about 1ft tall now...well there is only 1 left standing, another one I found uprooted it looks like something stepped on it, some of the leaves are ripped or missing..anyway I brought it back shaved the end, hosed it down, and put it in a cup of water. Im going to bring it to the grow room within the next few days and hopefully I can save it...I will need to go get the remaining outdoor one soon I think cause some animal might destroy it also..either that or I am going to just periodically take clones from it, I am leaning twoard the clone idea cause I dont really want to introduce a foriegn plant outdoor soil and all to my grow room, it is that bag seed I am growing in the room....It is definitly a hybrid but I actually wanna say its more sativa (I was called it indica earlier)...smells like dank already.

Yea I am definitly going to be waiting longer before I do this

you can foliar spray with it now. i always do. when their getting their real set of true leaves then i feed it through the dirt.

Yea I am going to try something light and organic, likely your bloodmeal idea, but that will be in another 4 or 5 days because working a lot r ight now and likely wont even get to the grow room for a couple more days

I'm not trying to scare you off feeding but the tendency is to always over do it.

I don't think you should bring any outside stuff inside. The most recent issue of Urban Grower or some shit has a horror story about killing a grow by bringing in outside plants. If you must though, quarantine it away from everything else til you know it's safe.

Yea man this is what worries me, the thing is:

1) The plant is going to be giant I suspect, its only may 15th and the thing is nearing 2ft in height with a very thick stem. NOT good because I suspect it will be spotted, its low traffic area but there is an area where rarely some people will walk only about 15ft from it althou it should be blocked from view by foilage, but if this thing is 9ft tall it is going to be spotted likely. I thought it was an indicia but its quite obviously sativa dom
2) Its right next to a waterfall on the shore so I am afraid it might get washed away in high tide (its buddy 2ft from it, already got washed away after we suffered about a week of heavy rain)
3) It is likely to get eaten by an animal like many of its brothers/sisters, its the last survivor of about 20 plants.
4) It is likely to become infested with insects or maybe mold.
5) like I said its the survior of 20 plants.

So yeah I am highly considering not taking it in due to yours and others advice, I am likely going to just move it to another outdoor spot that can be watched easier and put a tomato cage and stuff around it but bringing it indoors is definitly up for consideration also.

It is not in a good place that I can go to very often so I can check it once every two weeks tops - really hard to care for.

another factor that makes me consider NOT bringing it indoors is we have a lot of people giving/selling us clones soon so we are rapidly coming close to our plant maximum already (our legal maximum is 48 right now, soon to be 60)

im waitin on those pics deprave ; P

loL! More pics coming tommorow or the next day bro but likely tommorow...I have been away but the person taking care of them says they made quite a bit of progress, seedlings have new leaves and sweet tooth has reached higher, also two new sweet tooth seedlinds sprouted.

Tommorow I got some repoting and potting to do. I also have to construct a cloning setup as I have a clone and some more clones on the way. I will be going to the hydro store gettings nutes+foxfarm soil or promix bails+clone gel/powder and some bags or pots. I really want to get some superthrive also but low on cash currently. Likely going to get Liquid Seaweed for foilar feeding if I can find some.

also he said that our little heat setup is working good, HIGH Temp is now: 80F, Night temp 70F at canopy

Althou it has been really nice outside, there has been little difference in day and night temps the past few days its been around 65 or so I believe, upper 50's at night (I am assuming this by feel because I never looked at the temps)

I suspect the little guys like the nice warm breeze in there..

Ok guys I did a little drawing real quick for you guys to laugh at and also to see a little better our plans - the t8 fixture is planned or t5 but right now we have cfl instead. The HPS lights are also planned out also. Thinking to design the table with 2x4's and plastic. We are not sure how we are going to split both sides, we are thinking panda film or mylar, or maybe just a curtain

 

[deprave]

it looks like the update will not likely be today but tomorrow or the next day - repotting and potting is possibly set back until Monday or Tuesday

wow your lucky. Im battling HEAT. and it is something to battle ... let me tell you. Temps during my day in the room if i didnt have a portable a/c would shoot well over 100. and i struggle with the ac to keep them in the low 80s upper 70s. yikes. Im lookin forward to seein the buds on that sweet tooth : )

Well we have decided against the two 600W HPS - Will be going with 1x 1000W HPS For now - getting this on friday and we will add another 1000W later....so 3000W in lights for this grow room not counting t-5's and CFLS WOOT!

Alright well new pics and update coming for sure today/tonite just snapped em...It looks like everything has sped up a little since the heat adjustment, the 3 seedlings pretty much caught up to sweet tooth and sweet tooth is now forming its 3rd node..been pretty slow going so far but hopefully we should be moving at a better pace now with these temps, now 70-80F instead of 70F being the high...Easy ryder is still trying to find it way to the surface and one of the germinated sweet tooth has already poped and has its true leaves...

I kinda get the feeling the sweet tooth has mainly focused on roots after the transplant so I think they could explode in growth soon...I must mention, I am pretty unhappy that I used the Miracle Grow organic for these 2 green sweet tooth pots..even thou I amended with a lot of stuff it still feels kind of muddy, definitely not very airy - almost to the point I am considering just dumping it and switching it for the pro-mix I will be using on my other plants...I guess could be interesting to see how it pans out though...I have to say the MG Moisture control is likely even better than this for growing mj if your stuck with miracle grow brands than don't buy the organic, the regular and the moisture control seem much better for MJ..(again unless its just my bag) ..it holds water for way to long..
