Little more sharing. Just a few days and already getting a lot of hair action

the CDLC and Forum stomper not as much as the double grape and the strawberry pie

think that one shot with the yellow tips is anything to worry about?

I have a top dressing planned with the next watering.. more ffof and some ewc and great white myco mixed in before water

Didn’t know about the stretch! First go with autos but yeah they look like they’re getting taller by the day

what’s an ideal leaf sign to look for before adding a top dress?

You called it man! They stretched a good few inches. Moved the light up a little just in case


Did a little rearranging.. trying to shine light on whatever’s growing lower

They probably not done with stretch just yet but be aware of having good air flow with the kinda packed in there.

Looks good remember “ less is better “ with autos.
No need for stupid additives. Let them just do what they are gonna do.

Yeah I have them biased to that one side of the tent cause of the humidifier and heater

Can definitely see the humidifier being a problem later on with flower near by it.. not enough room around the unit to stop condensation/contact with some of the foliage

Maybe I’ll put some kind of shield/wall to send the humidity up higher into the tent

The heater blows dry hot air so it drops RH to under 30%

Have two fans blowing on to the top of canopy. Some good general shaking happening.

Thanks man.. yeah none of that FF trio stuff or whatever. I do have some CalMag handy but idk when or if I’ll need it?
Most I’ll be adding is a top dress of FFOF and EWC mix

I guess when the leaves start showing me they need something?

And is there a general time (like # of days) where one would top dress?

A great start for sure.

Just watered tonight about 1/2 gallon each pH 6.4. Added Great White myco to it and shook it up.

Thought initially I might have screwed myself with adding 12oz of 4-4-4 to the soil mix I made (ffof, ewc and perlite) but with, what I’d call kinda conservative watering. I didn’t flood much into the soil. Almost 7 weeks in and they’re just getting a run off in a 3.6gal with 1/2gallon water


Speaking of run off. How much should one expect to see coming out after you’re “done” watering?

After awhile you will begin to see when to water based on each plants uptake. Then go from there.
Just because one or two may drink more doesn’t mean all will need a full soak.

I personally would water slow and steady as the peat mixes tend to get hydrophobic ( water just runs straight out - instead of saturate) … Don’t pick a “ water day “ just let them tell you when they need a drink. Although you got them a bit packed - i still would pull each and judge.

right on man.. thank you. Yeah for sure going slowly does much better for them soaking it up.. you’d probably laugh if I told you how long it takes me to disperse 2 gallons of water over 4 containers…

Using the finger into soil and the heft test and seems to be working pretty well

I just water when they are 64oz lighter than before:mrgreen:
