I was thinking the same thing as @Nope_49595933949 , who is a much more experienced grower than I am. After two weeks, the roots are spreading too, and they need more moisture than just around the base now. Soil looks pretty dry, which is fine, especially if there’s some moisture deeper in the pot, but worth considering. It’s easy to overwater, but you don’t want to err too far in the other direction either.

I watered last night…to the tune of about 4oz, from the middle of the leaves out to trip promoting good root growth. I admit that I am seriously afraid of overwatering and might be leaving too far…especially with my low humidity. What adjustment is recommended on watering?

Water the entire medium, that'll help raise RH too as you are in fabric pots.

Figured out my humidity issue. Unfortunately, I did something wrong because I ended up with water all over the floor that needed to be cleaned up from the towel. BUT, I turned my in-line fan off for a few hours and the S6 clip-on to level 5 and the RH went to 60 with 85 temp. I’ve since turned my in-line to 1 and it’s 55 RH and 83.3 degrees. I did leave the bowl and towel in the tent just together instead of hanging out.

I’m just a newb but if I have any advice it would be to not overthink, go with the flow, do not use fabric pots and remember the that seedlings to weird things and can look funny before they finally take there real shape.

Why no fabric pots? I’m a big fan for a few reasons. They drain well (helping to avoid overwatering) and they help to aerate the soil, promoting growth. Not sure what the complaint would be.

Here’s an update from today. I feel like everything is looking ok so far. The leaves on one might be taking on a weird shape a little, but I assume that’s from being under watered before yesterday or low humidity.

I’m not feeding any nurses as of yet but plan to pick some up on Friday. Any advice? I’m truly looking for a balance of simple and great lol. Is that possible?

Please take a look and lmk your thoughts. Today is day 13. Any insight is helpful. The pics are in sets of threes for each plant to show its current stare as of 4 hours ago.

This is my first post here although I’ve been lurking and searching a lot. A little about my grow. I’m growing BlackBerry Kush Auto in soil (Organicare true earth potting mix) mixed with some EWC. I have two girls in 3 gallon fabric pots. My rent is a crunch 2x2x4 being lit by an hlg 100r and ac infinity t4 fan/filter combo (added yesterday). I planted seed directly to soil and they both germinated and broke soil in less than 2 days. I alternate with cut water bottle bottoms as a dome because I wasn’t sure if I should use them or not. When I installed my t4 I realized that my humidity was sitting at high 30s/ low 40s. I added a humidifier (Vicks brand) this morning to increase RH and it’s up to a steady 55% range. I also took off the bottles as the plants were touching the sides. Please give any advice and I hope this grows well.
I’m attaching some pics from seed to where they are today and showing the light height.

I needed to correct my grow medium statement. It’s not promix.
Also I picked up maxi bloom and maxi grow. Will likely start with 1/4-1/2 dosage since the plants are only 16 days old.

Today is day 18 for these girls. I fimmed on day 15 and watered with nutrients 2 days ago. I’m using maxigrow at 1/2 strength. Are they looking ok?4E3CF55F-4EC3-4298-892D-4EF6F98751E6.jpeg0CD25030-7F2E-401D-B475-F1BCFC2BC216.jpegF6A952F6-DC7A-4E85-9E96-DF002753292F.jpeg7AD8C853-B6BB-4ED5-8E36-F58ACC860909.jpeg

these are my girls as of today. The store near me told me that feeding lightly would help because of a calcium deficiency. And that this should reverse in a couple of days. Is that correct?
Also there was so much growth over the last couple of days…that’s insane!D7BEAF1F-096B-44D0-880B-C1AFCE9CB42C.jpeg06D813F6-1ADF-4DBF-AB78-9BA3922348A0.jpeg81D46C97-F583-47D5-973D-43D4957E8C07.jpeg88872C11-CD3E-4C04-9793-A0F36B84C22E.jpeg

Today is day 25. Just a pic update. I accidentally broke a stem/limb off of both yesterday…. It made me sick!53C4CF65-FD39-4B84-ABF2-B6735AF4EFB7.jpeg9502D649-752C-4F05-8966-BECFC11DA569.jpeg

Just got home today and look at what I see? I had to post in the infarmary/problem section for some help and left town for 4 days. They look and smell so good…needing a good watering but wow! I’m thinking of taking some of the lower leaves off…mainly the damaged ones. Thoughts on this?5787708B-D8ED-47EA-A254-78EA6AE6B95C.jpegC9B4A6B1-45B7-4761-8B95-3B6F7C282C62.jpeg90DA8871-3833-4449-9846-EC094D153F66.jpeg

You can defiantly thin those out.. Don't worry about breaking lower limbs, you're gonna trim those out anyways eventually. But yeah, it's time to defoil those girls. You either have a deficiency going on or a PH lockout starting up.

I haven’t really been feeding much other than that one time so I’m hoping deficiency. Thanks for the quick reply

Did a defoliation today…I still feel sick from taking all of those precious leaves! I also added a scrog net. I’m hoping that I did these correctly. 9D49B9B4-F95D-482A-BD52-5F516EE0E739.jpegCCB09E60-383B-4D46-BF0F-C652DFA5DDB2.jpeg

Almost 2 days later and we’re recovering well. The last pic was taken at 11 pm and posted a few hours later for clarification. Watered with cal-mag and I think we’re seeing improvement. I’m able to have most squares filled…some with two tops in them. Thoughts on the grow and if it’s ok for multiple tips in the same square space?9E834786-508B-479C-8D03-0CA940E04563.jpeg
