Day [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] update. Not much to report, the little ladies are looking healthy. I am continuing watering with a mixture of filtered tap water, that has been oxygenating to remove chlorine from my city water (I'll try and remember to show a pic of my filter system), with 1/4 strength Dr. Root and SLF-100 ph'd to 6.3 (water is ph'd b4 adding the dr. root and slf). I am calling it day 2 for both strains even though the OD's are a few hours behind the FC's (both are 70-80 day strains). You can see the Sativa influence in the FC's and the Indica influence in the OD's. The lights are still not at full power and are running at 305 - 309 watts output.

I'm in on this, everything is looking great so far. Are you running the Nectar lineup all the way through? I've recently picked up some Herculean Harvest and Aphrodite's Extraction that I will be using at the beginning of flush. I also use SLF-100 but only weekly with Recharge and never thought about using it for seedlings. Curious what your theory is behind that? What medium are you in?

Also like the pot risers, been looking for a set like that. Any tips on where to find them?

All the best with your grow!

Welcome Mavadines I am running all Nectar including their soil [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG]. Gonna start around the 2nd week watering with the Spartan Regimen and some other additions, stay tuned. When I stopped growing 16 years ago I was doing hydro using GH Flora, so this is all new to me. I'm gonna start with their simple regimen and move up to using more of their products in future runs. I am using Dr. Root and SLF in the seedling stage to promote root growth and establish microbe colonies. Got mine at https://growershouse.com/gro-pro-nx-level-pot-elevator-13-in-up-to-7-gal-pots

Update: No issues, first feeding with NFTG at 1/2 strength. Used Medusa, Gaia, Zeus and Dr. Root.

Day 4 update with pictures. Just a note that I am going by calendar days and not light cycle days since my light cycle splits a calendar day.

Had an issue I was completely naive about and did not research enough until today when it was to late and after the fact. I went in to check on the girls while having my morning joe and noticed my temp was at 84f, my temp has never gotten over 81f. I closed the tent back up and noticed the sides were not sucking in and there was little to no air flow on the two intakes. The fan was running, but had little exhaust flow. I ended up taken it all down and then tested it outside the tent...fan worked fine but when I attached the filter the air flow all but stopped...clogged carbon filter. Well I found there are many that have had an issue while using a humidifier and their carbon filters became clogged. The consensus was to use the filter only during late veg and flower when a humidifier is not needed (now that would have been some useful information..lol). So now I'm running with just the vent fan. I took the filter and washed the carbon dust from the inside out and am letting it dry. We'll see if it works when I need it, if not, I'll have to get a new one...no big, live and learn.

I got to day 60 on my first grow of Sour Livers and Creme De La Chem before I realised the ducting was blocked where I pushed it through the ceiling during set up

just thought my fan and filter were crap

seedlings look great

Anybody got any idea what might be happening here with the leaf twisting? This was taken just before lights out. Otherwise seems healthy and was wondering if it's anything I should be worried about.

Day 6. Watered today with full strength Medusa, Gaia, Zeus and Dr. Root. Did not water on day 5. Some issues with leaf droop and twisting. The droop on the OD's is probably from them drying out a little. We will see later in this light cycle if they recover. What do y'all think with how they look?

I wouldn’t personally water them so often this small mate. But that’s me. Let the thing work. Let it hunt for water. Gaining thicker. Ether roots. = more fruits hope I’m not sounding patronising. Absolutely not meant to bud. Also I like to water around the pot edge this early on. With a couple of splashes invetween. I get fast roots this way.
