DWARF LOW FLYER - 10 days in...

[Dr max]

Hi guys - this is my first grow ever, so please excuse any stupid questions or mistakes.

I am growing 2 Dwarf Low Flyers, just thought it might be an easy baby step into growing. I am concerned that they might not be growing fast enough. Here is my setup.

2 Dwarf Low Flyers from Crop King Seeds.
5 gallon pots of FFOF mixed with more perlite.
32x32x62 tent.
6' Vortex S-Line fan with Carbon Scrubber, negative pressure is good.
600w MH/HPS cool tube.
-running the MH currently, will switch to HPS when vertical growth stops and full flowering begins.
Temps running between 72-82f. Rh running from 20%-30%.
No nutes given, have only watered them once(4 days after they sprouted)

They look healthy enough but I feel like I am seeing very little vertical growth for 10 days old. Am I just being impatient?

ya they are laying down roots ....... hold off on nutes until week 3-4 or 5 - 7 nodes

I started dwarf lf 63 days ago. Not sure when to cut down. Easy to grow. Coco Perlite, 1gal pots. Flood and drain every 3-4 days.

When they start to flower do some low stress training LST. "Gently" pull branches down with plant wire, the rubber stuff. Let's light into the middle of plant. As a newbie I didn't want to try all the advanced grow stuff. When using nutrients reduce by 25-30% from manufacturer recommended.

The 2 in the back are 10 days younger. I germinated them in error. Thought I killed the first one during a transplant.

Don't rush, and don't fry them with the big light. I use 12 x 26w cfl. Mixed 3500/6500K.

any idea what these yellow things are? almost look like bug bites or something.... (I checked everywhere, including under leaves and didn't find any other signs of possible bugs. I did find one Gnat a few days ago but nothing since...)

the leaf on top picture looks like it's cracking aswell

 

[KillsPlants]

also if u want more vertical growth u can raise your lights a bit and stretch em she looks like she's growing out fat which isn't bad

the yellowing between the veins is a mag def ....... the spots are either water or nute drops that fried in the light or more then likely a calcium def

How do I fix this? Where can I buy cal/mag?

 

[tekdc911]

youre ph is right ? it being off could effect the intake of nutrients ....... you could water with a bit of epsom salt like a teaspoon to a gallon of water and that would help the magnesium ..... dolomite lime can be top dressed and watered in for the calcium ....... but cal/mag is sold all over the net and at grow shops ........ its kinda slow acting and really just keeps the problem from getting worse ........ next grow just add a couple table spoons of dolomite per gallon of soil and it would help remedy the problem before it starts ....... odd's are your soil is lacking it if its showing this early

 

[tekdc911]

they are super dark green ....... so there is plenty of nitrogen ...... to be honest ive used ffof and other cannabis specific soil's ...... and hands down if i had to pick between miracle grow moisture control or fox farms ...... i would run miracle grow and smile the whole time ........ i mix my own soil less but if i had to pick or not grow i would take the walmart shit over the " good " stuff any day ...... fox is just really hot and really inconsistent bag to bag ........... and the changes are so random one bag might have PH issues and another might burn your plants up .......... really hit or miss ....... dont get me wrong theres millions of people prolly that swear by it i have just had terrible luck with it
