I think I overwatered them a little yesterday morning. I watered them because they needed it, the cups were so light almost like the soil had no moisture in it at all and some of them were droopy before I watered and are still droopy because I gave them too much water now I'm waiting for them to dry out. Some of the oldest plants that are 11 days old are starting 3rd set of true leaves and starting to get a lighter shade of green so by the end of this weekend I will feed 1/8th stength nutes or could I feed them this now.

COol man!like pics!! But as far as the nutes,idk-i believe soil has wut they need 1st mo. But that depends on ur soil. I use ffof& burn shit if i feed in 1st mo. Just my opinion tho-

I will wait until they appear they are growing slow and turning deep yellow then I will feed nutes otherwise I will just let them do what they do, now they are on day 12 and have perked back up some. I think I need to transplant the plants in the bottom chamber to larger cups because they dry out to fast and the plant is constantly too wet then in 24hr is completely dry. Also I changed my mind, I will keep 4 female plants in top chamber and 1 in bottom chamber because I dont think 8 plants in the top chamber will work, they wont be in big enough pots to develope a healthy root system in small cups, I would like to use 1/2 2litre bottles for the 4 plants in top, and a foldgers coffee tub for plant in bottom chamber. Its still going to be a perpetual harvest though, I just think I could distribute the limited light better between four plants instead of 8 and I can veg them longer maybe a month. Im on day 12 now so another 15-20 days veg should be good just depends if they start growing really fast like they did last night, I had two plants double in size over night both of them are in top chamber.

Ok well the plants in the bottom chamber were wilting and I couldnt figure out what was going on well I transplanted the four plants in the bottom chamber that were doing bad in to bigger pots and the new growth is growing in nice so I guess Ill just have to wait and see if they are ok. The plants in the top chamber have way out grown the others, I have like 8-9 plants in the top chamber now and 4 of them are getting huge I might have to move lights soon. They are not stretching at all they have very dence nodes and have really fat leaves. From the looks of it those 4 plants are like 5"tall and 4" wide so I might have to start flower by next week like day 22-23 because they might get too big. I guess this good compressed bagseed was commercial so it might be a high yeilding strain who knows but I will find out. Im guessing by next week they will be on 6-7node and like 6-8in tall so they will end up like 1.5ft each by the end of flower is what Im hoping for. I am sorry about not getting pics up yet but I dont have a camera right now and I have to wait until
the weekends when my roomate isnt home and I steal his camera but this weekend he didnt work so I couldnt use the camera so check back next friday and I will have some new pics up. Oh yea almost forgot I fed 1/8strength veg nutes today to my 4 bigger plants on 3rd node, I will let you know how they respond as soon as I see evidence of any improvement or problems. PEACE and GOODNIGHT.:leaf:

Since they were getting so big so fast I decided to start CCOB which is a form of LST(low stress training) of wrapping the stem of the plant around the cup this will keep the plants short, and might allow me to veg alittle longer, then trim all the lower growth and put in flower. I will let you all know how they react to the nutes and CCOB in a few days.

I thought about lollipoping but I think I could do better with CCOB( crop circle of bud ). Which I will explain again, first you poke holes all around the rim of the pot and start tying the stem around the rim of the pot. this method should allow me to have 1ft tall plants that only look like there 6" and really bushy. I have said when Im going to start flower like three different times so far but really until I see the plants are ready to start flower I will wait and let them veg longer to get more mature. Oh yea I forgot to tell you about the plant I found like 5 days ago, I have a trailer that I haul garbage to the dump in well I walked up to it the other day and it had a plant on second node of tru leaves growing in between the boards in the trailer but I couldnt leave it there so I pulled it out and there was no saving the roots. So I used my shults take root and put the stem deep in some soil and put a clear plastic cup over the top of it and I checked to see if it had any roots last night and man does it, that take root worked well and the plant showed no sign of stress at all I will post pics on friday of everything. So far its going way better than my first grow, my first grow I had all kinds of problems now the only prob I have is high heat and low humidity but they dont seem to be bothered.

Congrats on new found plant rooting so fast&good! I re scrapped the 1 clone that didnt root& watered her w/bloom nutes after replanting& got roots in 4days. Gonna try another1 & see if it roots that fast again!

yea I expected it to root but not in 4 days that was crazy, it still hasnt developed a good root system yet so it hasnt grown any but it looks good with really dark green new growth starting. I think 1 of my plants has a deficiency or something, it is like 4" tall on 3rd node but as the new healthy growth comes in the older leaves die, it started with the round leaves, then to the single leaf, then to the first true leaves with 3 points I hope the bottom leaves dont keep dying, can overwatering cause old leaves to die. I think this same plants is very easily overwatered, the others are looking great, I even have 1 on the 4th node at about 5" tall, 4" wide that I have tied down twice already, and I only topped 1 well I kinda topped and fimmed at the same time because I missed some when I topped. Most of them are on 3rd node except the plants that are like 6 days younger they are on first and second node. I see no signs of stretching at all actually these plants are very dence, I have 1 plant that has to be indica dominate because its leaves are so fat that they look round. Im not rushing this grow at all like I said Im not flowering until I see they have reached there maximum potential in this area. So it could be another 2 weeks depending on how they grow and if I have no more stress added to them. I will have pic up for sure friday, oh yea the 4 plants I had in the bottom all went weird and quit growing completely started to wilt, so I removed them and added 3 of the others in the veg box to the bottom chamber they are a week behind but still doing very well, so there is 3 in the bottom chamber, 6 in the top chamber and 4 in the veg box, so 13 all together now including my clone, I found that could be some really good weeds IdK.

Are u feeding them? Maybe nute locked? Thot about flushing?i would think if its starting@older leaves,maybe not getting nutrients? From nute lock? Just a thot.

I fed super light like 1/8 strength and only 1 plant showed signs of nute burn but not bad, in general they are looking good so Im not complaining, I dont have a ph meter so if it is PH problems I wouldnt know. If it was ph problems it would be affecting the other plants to though, oh ya the plant with really fat leaves is the 1 that had slight nute burn, I appreciate you checking in like you do Kmk it will be worth it, I am going to try and do the impossible this grow by getting the most bud I can out of this space and it seems like you will be the only one to know about it.
