View attachment 169058View attachment 169060Cheers Squid, sorry for my noobie ignorance, is there a standard equation to follow then for the process? I gave the girls their first dose of nutes last night and when I checked on them first thing this morning they seem to have enjoyed the feed, here are a couple of pics

No apologies necessary man, it's a learning curve and it takes time. I've been at it a year now and it took months to even feel kinda comfortable with what I was doing. Much better now...
Those don't look bad at all. Here's a little equation you can use for runoff, but keep in mind it's not dead accurate or anything. You would need a good soil Ph probe for that. Anyway...
Examples: 6 in and 7 out...That's a difference of one and since it got HIGHER from the original then you need to ADD the difference to the runoff. SO. 6 in and 7 out, difference of 1. 7+1=8. So your soil's Ph is somewhere about 8 Ph.
Another example when it drops: 7 in and 6 out. Now here you want to get the difference but SUBTRACT from your runoff instead of add. So difference of 1. 6-1=5. So your soil's Ph is somewhere about 5 Ph.

Plant looks good. :thumbs: From what I see, since your Ph is about 6.6, then I would feed with that same Ph. 6.6
Sounds like it's bringing whatever you put in down so maybe even a touch higher at 6.7-6.8.

Not dumb questions, mate. Only dumb if ya don't ask. Ha! 
And the answer is no. Showing sex starts the PRE-flower stage. Continue with veg nutes until vertical growth stops. Around 5 weeks give or take. Then go with flower nutes. This will maximize veg growth thus increasing potential yield. This is what I recommend. The Life Cycle link in my signature is a great read.

Hello fellow growers, got some day 22 pics here just taken this morning and i cant believe how much bigger they have got in the last week, they seem healthy enough to me, what you think? i will need to remember to take into account soil sinkage next time as one plant is sitting quite low in the pot......we live and learn
