@itslohkey I'd start topping if it were me. They will outgrow their pots pretty quick too.
Are they strictly inside right now and are they fem or reg seeds?
If they are regs than you have time to sex them (they prolly will show sooner or later anyway).
If they are fems you could take some clones
to grow. Remember with guerilla growing something is bound to happen to some of them so start with more than you want to harvest.

Thanks burner! They are reg seeds and I have 1 male. The other 2 are female a plethera Of babies that I don't know yet :P and I'm going to have to remember that so when i lose some I won't be AS disappointed haha

Yea, its still 40s/30s here at night in Oregon, so gotta see what happens first- I get plastic on and get the heat to stay in the GH, or the temps warm up some more

IMG_20160313_174319_hdr.jpg So I got 7 starting. Early ones fell victim to my damn cat.
4 strawberry sour diesel
3 lava (haven't tried these yet, gift from a fellow smoker)
I have till late April mid may, to get outside. I'm probably gonna send one or two straight into flower indoors, stick one or two outside, and clone the remaining. Ilkk have a couple monsters and the rest baby sprouts lol

Yep, that seaweed juice is good stuff. Ever use it to foliar spray with?
Hopefully the calmag works for you.



Just some food for thought...Sometimes the ph of a water source changes or fluctuates for a variety of reasons.

If you don't already have one, you might consider getting a cheap battery powered PH tester online. They're under $20 at Amazon and can head off problems before they get too bad. If your ph range in the water is off, some nutrients could get locked out or absorption could be reduced. A friend with a well recently went thru that run around before getting ahead of it. He used calmag, but things didn't seem to get a lot better until he corrected his water PH.

Also, sprinkling a little dolomite lime throughout new grow containers with a pinch or two on the top and then transplanting seems to help stabilize things. A bag of dolomite can last a long time and is cheap insurance.

Looking forward to seeing how your summer goes. Good luck.

Thank you for the info.havent done the foliar spray yet.i think with last years drought in the late fall it thru off his well.and his area is all rock and ledge.the ph tester is next on the list to get.checked in with him yesterday,they are looking better already.

I have been using kelp- sea weed since early 90s. I use maxi-crop u can foliar spray full sun no burn.i always put 1-2 cups of kelp meal per plant when setting up plots.kelp meal is cheap 42$-50lb.i think one of the best add on"s. money can buy:bigjoint:

I'd start a little light on the foliar spray and see what happens. As you probably already know, some strains will like it more than others and tolerate more frequent applications.

From the same well in just a matter of days, I've seen ph ranges move around some...enough to cause problems. Never a bad idea to check the water ph on a regular basis. While improper ph of water isn't always the cause of a problem, crossing it off the list of potential problems gets you closer to solving plant problems.

The chart below might be helpful. It shows the preferred range for uptake. Phosphorus in particular seems more finicky about its preferences.

That will help a lot. Never really dealt with ph stuff before. Outside Mother Nature balances everything out.
