Just read through all 6 pages and you're off to a good start man. I like how u gave us some background info on your plants in the beginning.

Listen to medigrow he knows his shit kiss-ass
I have the same spotting on the tips of my fan leaves indoor on my sour d plant closes to the light, so yea I'm willing to bet its light burn.
They'll be ok just gotta get used to this strong norcal sun :lol:

Keep it up man I just subbed

I use transparent cups to start my clones and seeds cause I like to see the roots without having to pull them out. I just put them in another cup that's not transparent so the light doesn't shine through, but I can still pull the clear cup up and check on the roots.

Thanks guys.I leached it a couple nights ago just in case. I didn't ease this one in a few hours a day like I did the Jack Herrer. I just put it on a windowsill when I got home from work for a week but that wasn't good enough at all! No signs of stress on the Alaskan Ices. I hope they stay that way.

I also hope they dont try to flower on me. I had them under 24 hour lights and cut it down to 18/6 by bringing them into their cardboard veg box from 6pm to 12am. At 12am I put it outside. Honestly, it'll probably be more like 11 pm more than a few times. After about a week of this (its been 4 days so far) I'll just leave them outside permanently. Thanks for the good vibes, fam, I'll come by reply more personally later.

Here's my first Alaskan Ice clone. I put some bone meal in the bottom of the pot and a small sprinkle of blood meal as a top dressing.

Here's the 2nd Alaskan Ice. Just regular soil. This had much prettier leaves when first purchased, but the first one had more roots. It was real thirsty yesterday and the only plant I had that was drooping. Cant wait to see what it looks like when I come home tonight.

Jack Herrer's been tied down for maybe 4 or 5 days now.

Bubba Lavender tied down. I'll keep tying it down as the shoots keep shooting up. Never done it before, so I'm rediculously anxious for October!

Thanks brotha!

Left side earthworm castings and master nursery potting mix. Right side same mix with a small sprinkle of blood meal on top and a small sprinkle of bonemeal mixed into the bottom 1/4 of the pot. Interesting results.

Alaskan Ice. My very first true sativa dominant. I've grown both Jack Herrer and Blue Dream. While the leaves are thinner on those plants, they were very bushy like indicas. I've never had a plant with this real sativa stretch.

Here's my ingredients. I forgot the epsom salt! And I'm couldn't afford humic acid. I have my girls in 1 gallon pots and will be transplanted to 5 or 7 gallon buckets/pots in June so I had to mix the soil that I have with the ingredients that I had or risk not being able to use a super soil at all.

I had about 4 cubic feet of soil, about 10 lbs of earthworm castings, 1 ¾ cup each of bone meal 1-15-0, blood meal 6-0-0, and bat guano 0-12-0, 1 cup of garden lime, ½ cup of azomite.

Any magnesium issues will be done with an Epsom salt foliar spray. I hope this all works out!!! Better planning is inevitable for next season…
