I bet you did have to water a lot as perlite added in vermiculite isn't gonna have a lot of water holding capabilities. If your gonna go soiless I say go Promix or a good coco. Just can't add too much perlite or the medium will dry out to fast. You want some water retention so you don't have to water a lot.

Yea Queen City has a couple that are very good. Everything you need are in them.

Yea I forgot Lowes and Home Depot sells it. You can use whatever nutes with that. You can amend it like soil and still be organic if you want but just know that if your gonna use this and not amend it your gonna have to start feeding immediately as there's no nutes. The only bottles nutes I use are Nectar For The Gods it's semi organic and what I used to grow the Oscar Goodman and Platinum Delights. And the second one is Cyco they're synthentic but theyre very good nutes. I wouldn't use them with soil but I would with a soiless like Promix. I use Cyco with my all perlite hydro grows

The repotting should help. If anything doesn't change then you know it's the medium most likely. Should see some changes in the new growth soon. If it dies on you just keep pushing bro it happens to best of us. Lost a White Widow from Female Seeds and it was fire too.

Nice update bro. Glad to see the babies are looking good. Won't be long before they pass the seedling stage and start to really take off. You gonna top or do any training? Glad to see that Cherry Puff baby is starting to look better for you. When in doubt I always repot and that seems to help most time. Can't really tell but are the better looking ones starting to fade like they're getting hungry?

Don't feel bad bro I'm going through the same with these cold ass temps. I have no fans on in the veg tent no intake or exhaust fans on and no fans on to cool the lights either. Temps are steady between 75-80 with lights on and no less than 60 with them off. Can't wait till this shit passes. I'd rather deal with high heat at least cannabis can still grow pretty good but when temps to cold growth stalls tremendously. I'm about 2-3 weeks behind on all my plants plus I didn't know my water was so fucking bad and that's where the 3rd week comes in. Was thinking water was the same like at old house since I'm still in the city but the neighborhood is HOA and they use well water. High ph and ppm fryed plants lol. All taken care of now

I think they look pretty good when eyeing them but this raggedy ass phone camera makes them look like they are fading...got some NFTG coming so feeding is coming soon .

Just chillin' with a morning cup of Joe, and a fat bowl bongsmilie Puffing on that ssxskunk freebie, and hoping the rest of her will mature sometime this year:roll: Sounds like you may have a little breeding project on your hands. If I remember correctly, a cherry strain, Afghani cross, and skunk #1. Ahh, the possibilities! If it were me, I'd try to hybridize a Skunk #1 male to a cherry female... mmm - Cherry Skunk :weed:. Will be tuning in to see how you go bro -

I wanna top/train them for bigger yields but I'm concerned with time and up coming heat issues..I got a 8" fan 463 cfm coming for exhaust...hoping that will do by the time flowering begins or the temps outside start rising

Ok I figured they did. I know how the camera phones make them look shitty so that's why I asked. Glad you got some good nutes on the way. Did you buy some of hit them up for a sample pack? Sample pack is regular size bottles too. I followed the feeding chart pretty much the whole way through except during flower had to decrease the base(Gaia Mania) as its good strong stuff. Got lil tip burn but nothing major well you saw the end results with the Oscars and Platinum Delight. Don't take your prescious time adding in one nute then mixing thoroughly as this stuff is hard to keep mixed well so add one in he water then add the next and keep going. Add ph up last before mixing it all up and go light with it and make notes on how much you use to bring it up cus you will have to add the ph up everytime. I pHed to 6.2-6.4 mostly with the higher end going through flower

Are you vegging and flowering in the same tent? Are you pressed for time to have them flowering at a specific time and what's the size of setup and watts you using again bro? Don't know if you told me prolly did but you how stoners minds can be :lol: that exhaust fan is a nice high velocity fan and depending on the size of your setup and watts used should work just fine.

I started back growing last year around this time and it wasn't this cold but temps didn't get bad till like April but the proper stuff and all that can be managed.
