Day 9 on the New Think Different grow

Ok, The 2 on the left are 9 days old and the first to break soil, the other 2 on the right are 5 days old. Been just giving them water, going to continue just PH'd water for the first 2 weeks, I have plenty of good stuff in the soil that they can feed off of. Tonight Im going to transplant the bigger 2 into 3 gal smart pots. I have them in 2 solo cups, the outside one has a bunch of holes put in it for drainage. The inside cup, I have the bottom totaly cut out, so I can now lift The inside cup without stressing the roots, then I use the tier method and plant a 1/4 of the cup in the smart pots. Dont know if its quite enough or not but these are under a fixture I made with 12 cfl's in it the 24 0r 23 watt ones. Will this be enough light for 4 plants for 5 weeks? At 5 I was going to put them under my 400 watt HPS. Im Trying to start a prepetual grow

Just transplanted the 2 older ones into the 3 gallon smart pots, and in a few days I'll be transplanting the younger 2. Still giving them just plain PH'd water, will do so until they reach 2 weeks.

Ok here they are now at 15 days old. Up til now I've been giving them just ph'd water. Someone told me that they eat up MG within the first couple weeks. So 2 days ago I just added a tsp of cal mag. I noticed the one you see in the pic has some brown spots. The little one is only 4 days behind the others and doesn't seem to have any kind of rapid growth like the others. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Hey Gardener420,I think those brown spots are burned cuz of water drops.That is my opinion,becouse I had same spots from that.I hope it's from that and that you won't have any problems from now on.Keep it green and have a nice and healthy grow.Green karma from me bro.

Thanks Gogi! Should I still add cal mag to the nutes, If so How long? Next watering I'm starting nutes. And also will a 12 bulb cfl fixture be sufficient for 4 plants up to 5 weeks old before I put them under the HPS???

Sooner you can put em under the hps the better imo

 

[gogicar]

Which medium are you using Gardener420?I am using Plagron's Light mix becouse it has nutes for the first week only.If you have all-mix,or any medium that has nutes for couple weeks,then you have to watch out with nutes.

 

[Gardner420]

As I said, They have just been getting PH'd water and 2 days ago I added a Tsp of Cal Mag because someone said they love MG during the first couple weeks

This is my soil mix :
4 gallons Pro Mix
1 gallon worm castings
1-1/2 gallons pearlite
4 Tblsp Blood meal
4 Tblsp Bone meal
8 Tblsp Kelp Meal
4 Tblsp Epsom salts

This is my Nute schedule:
1 pH water only

1.5 add in Big Bloom to the mix at 1/2 tea spoon

2 1/2tsp Grow Big 1/2 tsp Big Bloom

2.5 3/4 tsp of grow big

3 1tsp grow big and 1/2 Tiger bloom 1/2 tea spoon Big Bloom

3.5 1/2 tsp Grow Big 1/2tsp Tiger bloom done….

4 1tsp Tiger bloom 1/2 tsp Grow Big

4.5 Clean pH'ed water to clear out salt build up

5 2tsp tiger bloom 1/2 grow big......done

5.5 1 Teaspoon Grow Big

6 Begin Flush for the final weeks. At this point i can flush for a week before i begin to see yellowing of the fans.

This schedule was good for like an 8 week plant but dont know what to do after week 6 for a strain like TD that goes 11 weeks or a little more
