Super Closet - 1st Grow BIG BUDDHA Blue Cheese Feminized

glad to see you have got some healthy seedlings, keep it up man

4 sprouts. All strong stems and looking good. My friend came over and said that they were too dry so i watered A little more than normal. The soil had dried out so much that it was hard to the touch. Everything seems like its going well now. Hopefully the rest of the seeds sprout up soon so i can veg qnd sex these plants

here's an update. looks like everything is going steady for the most part.. some of the plants were droopy today, they got a lot of water last night and i hadn't had any holes in the bottom of the cups until last night. so, i didnt water them much today. am i watering them too much if i need holes in the bottom of the cups already?

i had a weird tri-leaf node plant growing and it's looking the worst, im assuming it was a mutation or something weird with genetics?

anyway, here's some new pics and im looking for any advice i can get so if u spot an issue plz post and tell me about it.

I poke hole in the bottoms before I put soil in the cups. Its a must to have good drainage. I then leave the seedling in the cup for 2 weeks then transplant to a 3gl container.

So. Transplanted 5 up to the top into 8" pots. Pics soon. I tried to be as gentle as possible. I hope they dont freak out.

The 600w hps is about 28" from the plants. They are still pretty small and i dont want them too warm or dried out.

Hey so i got soil with a couple months worth of nutes...so i guess im okayfor a while.

The soil is still at a ph of 7 ans the water is phed to like 5.5 so will the ph eventually come down in the soil through watering?

You can get the 600 a bit closer in a couple days. Don't want them seedlings to stretch much.

more pics, these are closeups with the number or name of the plants posted next to it.. if u guys see any issues or problems u want to point out, plz reply to the thread!

Looking good. I can't really tell but are your seedlings browning?

Hey. The sour cream is on its 3rd node. La woman is a little smaller but also looking healthy. Other bag seed plants look like they are nearly as solid. Some yellowing of leaf tips is occuring and it seems like they are stretching and they have been slow to develop 2nd or 3rd nodes.

I think i may hae shocked some of the plants during the repotting. Ph of soil is still at 7 and this past weeken root temp rose to 86 degrees on accident. Nothing browning just not as healthy looking as i was hoping.

I feel totally in the dark about watering. I am likr at the two week stage and several of my plants are clearly at diff stages. How much water should i be using when watering and how often. My moisture meter is still reading between moist and wet but the top 2inches sometimes more always feels dry and very hard.

Should i water until it comes out of the bottom of the pot? Should i water the center of the pot or around the edge of the pot?

Since my soil has 4 months od nutes already in it should i make additional adjustments? And i know i should search for the answer to this question and i probably will buy if anyone can gimme a quick answer on when i should take clones off of my allstar sourcream plant, i am thinkimg about making it a mother and just passing up on harvesting it. Its really the only good genetics that i have right now. Thoughts or comments?

bumpity bump bump

More pictures, looking like I have some serious yellowing going on. I think the miracle gro is owning my plants. everytime i water it releases nutes and i think i am stuck between needing to water and not wanted to feed them too much. i guess i am going to water lightly one time a day, maybe even every other day.
anyone have any advice?

More pics.. lol just figured out how to upload pics to the website instead of to my hosting site. much easier ^^

You need to get those plants out of that MG soil. STOP using it, it really sucks very very bad. Lowes has a brand called Jungle Growth go with that its much better.

Alright dude whats up, I am going to help you with your problems since I only grow in soil and I am pretty damn good at it.

Watering, ok since your using soil with nutrients in it, it's going to be a little tougher for a new grower to know when the right time is to feed. Well basically the nutes in the soil will last about 3-4 with good growth plants that are feeding well. If I was vegging for 3-4 weeks my plants would be any where from 10-16 inches and very bushy. It really depends on when to feed, if you see yellowing in your leaves then that is a good sign they are hungry. That's normally what I went by when I first started in MG soil, for your next grow I would do fox farm ocean forest, very very good soil. Just watch your plants and listen, they speak to you ( i know i sound crazy ) but for real they will let you kno, you just have to pay close attention

Now on to when you should water and how much.

Well you should water when your pots feel light or if the soil feels dry, Gently rub or push your finger into the soil, if it's dry and dosen't stick to your finger your plants need water. I normally go by weight of pot because I am so familiar with how much they should weigh after water and how much when dry from lifting them so much. I use both methods and never have problems. Another way to tell if your plants need water is if your leaves are droopy, but be careful cause this could also mean they are overwatered. Once again to determine followering the other two methods.

Now for how much water you should be giving, I normally wait until I have drainge out of the bottom of the pot, but some soils hold moisutre really good and don't drain as fast. The way I truly learned was ALWAYS GIVE LESS!. Alot of people think more water is better and they'll get more nutes and grow bigeer. Tottally false biggest problem people have is over watering, If you think your giving them the right amount always give a little less then that, you'll never overwater then and you'll have much better results.

I sub'd and if you have any more questions pm or stop by my grow journal just search " multi strain grow "

Sorry if some of it's confusing hard for me to put things into words I like to show poeple when I teach But I am sure you should have a little better understanding now.

Good luck

LOL this thread has me cracking up. I cant believe noone jumped in and told you to chill out. Your the one killing all those plants. People told you numerous times not to water alot and you kept saying in your posts how you couldnt resist and had to water. LOL you kept drowning your plants. Also the reason your plants were growing so tall and skinny at the beggining is becasue your light was to tall. When your seedlings grow that tall they cant support themselves and they fall over and die. Someone even told you to move the light closer and you didnt listen. You also shouldnt be feeding your plants any nutes that early on not till like week 2-3 at the earliast. Are you still attempting to grow or have you given up by now?
