New Grower First Grow. 3 Blue Dream Autos and a Critical+ 2.0 in a 3x3 tent

[Blue_dreamer]

I started this grow from seeds on 9/13. I ordered the seeds from Seedsman seeds, and the critical+ 2.0 was a freebie. I visited California last spring and loved the Blue Dream cultivar they had out there. The dispensaries never seem to have any around here, so I decided to try growing.

I sprouted the seeds in the soil, but for one of them, 3 days went by and I didn't see it come up and started to worry, so I went digging to see if it was a dud.

I started another seed on a wet papertowel in a bag, and was going to plant it in the same pot. Before I put it in, I went digging again and found missing seed, and it had just sprouted! So I started a 4th pot. And thats when I decided to upgrade from a 2x2 to a 3x3.

I am using a vivosun tent, and I think its pretty nice, the zippers seem very quality


For soil, I'm using
3 parts peat moss
3 parts cow manure / compost, it was Lowes brand
1 part vermiculite
1 part perlite

This was a few days after they came up.

For fertilizer I'm using the 3 General Hydroponics, mixed 1ml per gallon until we're in flowering stage, then I'll go to 2ml.
and 1ml per gallon of Cal-Mag.

I am now at the start of week 3 after planting the seeds.

The critical+2.0 is doing the best and I started LST on it a few days ago.

I started LST on the biggest blue dream yesterday

This one I accidentally topped, I was opening the tent, the door swung in and the zipper sawed it off.

I'm just going to let it go and see what happens.

And I have one runt, that put out some weird shriveled leaves for a while, but seems to be coming out of its funk.

I'm going to try to update every few days with status pics.

Alrighty guys, a quick update.

I started LST on the 3rd plant today. Its not very big, but I'm hoping perhaps applying some stress gets it out of its funk.

Big Boy Critical+ 2.0 is still growing like a....weed.

My largest blue dream is coming in at a close 2nd in big boi status

And the runt of the litter is still being a stupid runt. Maybe it'll come out of it, maybe it won't. I'm gonna give it another week or two and if it doesn't get any bigger, I'm pulling it and planting one of these Northern Lights seeds I have.

I know, I need to clean out the bottom of my tent!

The light is still at 70% brightness. I'm gonna give it another week or two before I slowly turn it up.

Right now I'm just feeding straight water. Last week we had some nitrogen burn from too much fertilizer, so I flushed them out really well and I'm just giving water this week. Next week I'll start nutrients again.
