Dukes - (Mars Hydro FC4800) July 22' grow *NL1*

[DrDukePHD]

7/21
Watered, the period in between waterings is down 24hrs already. They are looking great! What do ya'll think... move light up?

7/22 (Day #11)
Growing faster than my last seedlings I'm pretty sure. If I were judging from the leaf structure of my last grow, then only #1 (back right) is a female. Lets hope the looks are deceiving!
Light @30% [14.5"]

Might have overwatered on Thursday since one of the plants has leaf tips pointed downward but overall looking good!
Moved up fc4800 by an inch
Light @15.5inch now
* turned on second 6" fan, to toughen up stems*

Still got some droop going on, not sure if it was from overwatering, or the light too bright/dim. Two of them still seem happy, back left plant looks unhappy.
Any ideas?

Well just watered, half as much water this time. 2 of them are doing great... but 2 (bottom right, top left) are becoming a lighter color & drooping. No idea what I've done wrong. Still, i'll take 2 if thats how it shakes out & just pop 2 more beans. Learning more every day

I see a little curling on the side edges of the lower left plant. You could turn it down a little, or raise it to help prevent that from progressing.
As far as the plant in the back, just give it some time & let them dry good between watering. You can give too much water at once as well. Lots of things can cause issues. See how things progress in the next few days.

Good eye, I raised it up another 3-4inchs & yea I think I gave it too much water at once. I always let it dry out in between but Thursday I really soaked the entire medium (too much at once). Hope they pull through!

FC4800 @19" & 35%, - 1 fan on.
Well I'm seeing new growth even on the 2 plants that look unhappy/were overwatered. I guess they could still turn around!

Looking good there, boss. Love seeing the change in confidence and in the assessment of possible issues. A much more tactical approach to troubleshooting possible issues. Overall I can see a much higher level of understanding. Super stoked to watch not only your plants progress but you as a grower.
Life's a garden, and I'm digging it. keep up the good work.

Thanks man, the issues definitely don't feel as urgent as last time, less stressful (Caddyshack Bill Murray voice) "So at least I got that going for me"

Tomorrow is transplant day!! Just did a light watering, from 120g/135g up to 200g each to prepare for transplant.

Transplant day! All of these items look unnatural for a bedroom. It's like Construction/Gardener Indiana Jones meets Howard Hughes. So weird I had to take a pic lolol

Man that was a job!
After every 3 solo cups of soil, i sprinkled with Myco & lightly moistened soil with PH 6.5 tap water. I repeated this process until all 5gal bags were full. Took HOURS hahaha & it took 45mins to clean/vaccuum lol

Turned my FC4800 down to 30% & raised to 20" to avoid stress. Here come's the finished photo

Yeah Very nice, any fans?! Ah i see a white one now, also concerned how much fresh air you got going in that tent? Going by photo it only looks like it's sucking air from the room

Ok so I've got the 6" inline fan, all the bottom tent flaps are cracked, then two 6" clip-on hurricanes. Then I exhaust the 6" inline & portable air conditioner outside. So the whole room is basically negative pressure & sucks in air from rest of house. Hoping that's enough fresh air.

Must be summer there, Get some black light proof ducting it's pretty cheap for the intake flap, specially needed to seal that tent from light leaks during flower and if you can I'd have it bringing air in from outside. Running lights at night is a no brainer , is that white box the air cond?! Thought it was a speaker tower aha if it is maybe having it inside the tent be a better option also

Ok i see your point, I'll definitely get some light proof ducting for the side ports before flipping to 12/12. You just leave the input end laying on the floor?
