Getting back into growing after a few years off. In all, I have about a dozen personal sized indoor harvests under my belt. The strain I used to grow came from some good bagseed that I bred my own seeds from.
Current setup:
Closet 4' 6"L x 2"W x 5"H
Lights - 4' T5 40000 lumen fixture overhead, 2' T5 20000 lumen fixtures on sides (side fixtures currently unneeded/unused).
Soil - Scotts Vegetable Mix (.05 - .04 - .03).
Seeds - Unknown Mexican schwag bagseed.
I currently have some several Northern Lights and AK-48 plants waiting to sprout. In the meantime, I planted some schwag seeds for the fun of it. These seedlings have been above the soil for about a week. The plants are in 22 oz pots/cups. The cups have adequate drainage. I never had a problem with overwatering, but this one plant looks like it's overwatered. When I put the seeds in the cups a week ago, the soil was nice and moist like it should be. I domed the cups with baggies and then removed the baggies after the plants sprouted. Today was the first time I actually watered the plants. Until today, I've just been spraying about one or two ounces of water on the top of the soil each day with a hand sprayer.
When I watered today, the soil was VERY dry. I put about 6 oz of water on the plants. I'm basically doing nothing different than I ever did when I used to grow. I'm even using the same soil. I always had good luck with this soil. It's mild and with a little added perlite, drainage is great. I don't add nutes until I transplant the first time into 1.5 gal pots.
Here's a pic of the plant. Healthy or overwatered?
Here's a pic of a plant from the same bag. The growth rate is obviously slower, but it's not curling under or growing broad leaves.
What do you guys think? Any input is appreciated.
