New Grower first grow hows it goin?

Got a couple of girls moving into the 3rd wk of flower they are both a month from sprouting.

Female Seeds Auto Critical and Nirvana's Auto Bubblelicious.

Under 900w combined warm white cfl but i'm switching to 400w hps soon.

Had some transplant shock as I started them in polyplastic party cups before realizing they needed to spread roots. The bubblelicious looked like it wasn't gonna get any taller then seemed to get better in flower while critical was always the taller.

They are now in 2 gallon containers of compost and store bought soil. The ph run off was high at around 7-8 and I fed with a low ph seaweed/aloe vera fert (gives average of 4.2) and small amount liquid dolomite. 1.0 ec

There looked like some lock out for a while so I was foliar feeding the same seaweed/aloe fert. which seemed to improve the greenness of leaves for a while.

2nd wk into flower I fed both a liquid guano feed at 0.8 ec ph 6.8. run off was 6.9 7.


They both suffered tho from all my meddling I think so I think I will just straight water for a while. :no:

Looks loke your lacking some nitrogen on some of them.Make sure you keep your ph correct and feed some veg nutes with higher nite content.Also you should be giving them some calmag, this will help the roots intake your nutes better.

Hi namvet25 thanks for the reply. So if I dose with calmag and veg nute should I keep my ec at 0.8? The critical looks like its suffering a bit more than the bubblelicious afraid if I try anymore nutes its gonna give up on me!
