WOW SWEET Grow man... I guess we're grow brothers. I am also on my first grow, using PL-L HO T5s from htggrow. I got 1 4 lamp and 1 2 lamp for 30k lumens. Got 5 autos and 1 photo in my tent right now. Like you, I had 2 white widow autos and 1 kush ryder auto die on me, shriveled up roots. Think they damped off. My day 1(sprout out of soil) was 3/28, so you're way ahead of me.
Like your initial plants which were stunted, mine were as well. I am now on week 2 day 6 from soil pop and I have 1 that is about 5 inches (she's my biggest). Looks like yours picked up crazy growth in 4 total weeks? I'm hoping when I hit week 4 they blow up too.
Should I start using nutrients? Also when you say Day xx, is that the number of days from when they first popped outta soil?
Unfortunately my grow journal is on the other site.
No prob man, thanks for tagging along, sometimes I feel like I'm writing a journal to myself.
But then I think of how I was when I wanted to get started, and all the countless hours of info I soaked up.
And nothing was more helpful then a long beginning to end instant updating full of details journal, so that's just what I'm trying to do.
Where to start, that's crazy our grows def seem the same.
Yeah I count the days from when I dropped the seeds in the napkin, not when they popped.
Hey way to go on t5's they're def epic IMO, I mean I can fit 6-8 autos with the right spacing under my lamps.
And as you can see the t5's do the trick, best part about it, and why I was soooo hesatant was I thought my elec bill would fucking sky rocket, turns out it went up like 8 bucks. With a fan and lights running basically 24/7.
I found out what fucked up my first babies, was my lack of research, I filled up ,y pots full of soil, but didn't fucking flush it, I threw my rw cube in there and poured some water right on it, and the shits died,
You can see from my 3 new girls. They're thriving! Oh speaking of thriving 1 drippy drop of superthrive in a gallon of water is what I did, or what I think might have brought my down and out plants back to life. Yeah as for the crazy growth spurt. 1 sec it was ok they're starting to flower. 1 week later everywhere I look yellow hairs have taken over, it's wild.
And really is a beautiful sight to see, this being my first grow , I had growing pains, even snapped the main cola branch on what was gonna be the best lookin plant, doin a lst, but you live and learn to grow another day.
I think I got feeding technique down as well.
I started nutes soon as the babies hit 4 weeks.
When they hit for weeks I started at 1/4 strength
Now I'm up to 1/2 strength and will keep it that way
Soon as flowering started I also started with a drippy drop of mollases as well with the mixture. The plants are loving it.
I'm gonna add a dash of cha-Ching my next 2 waterings.
Which no shit like once a week. Like every 2 days ill splash like 1/4 cup of water on the rw cube to run down to the roots
I mist them every single day tho.
Hope this info helps man, don't trip your girls will bust out of nowhere.
And you'll be like wtf! Hope this info helps a little!
