first picture is of the yellowing of perlite. second picture is over the yellowing curled cotyledon leaves yellowing too soon and the third picture is of one of the seedlings who was over curling.

Yep, its just a bit of algae, nothing to worry about.. Let those cotyledon leave die off and fall, cause that's what they are supposed to do. True leaves look fine, so just keep doin what your doin, and prepare to start a light feeding VERY Soon!!

think imma wait two more days before i buy some dynagro liquid grow for it... waiting for second true leaves to fall off and waiting for more yellowing in more of the seedlings. will the growth speed up when i start giving it 1/4 strength nutes? should i get calmag too since im using distilled water? what bout mycorrhizae this early? i was planning to use great white and house and garden root exccelerator but idk when it is safe to add them

Go ahead and feed on your next watering. Ph feed water to 5.8 +or- .3 or so. if you had an EC / TDS meter go 100ppm or less. You don't need cal/mag this time but you will need it in the future if you are using distilled h2o. I've never used great white and house and garden root accelerator. So don't know bout' them. I use superthrive in every watering to my clones and seeds.

Now if you want to simplify your future seedling starts, just start them in soil in a little 2" starter pot. Soil has all the nutes necessary to get a seeling or clone started. It's downright stupid simple. Once rooted just transplant into your hempy bottle or bucket. It's the way I start everything and it does work really well.

Folks were talking about trimming up the undercarriage lately, and well I think I took it a little further. I'm running a Main Lining experiment, but not in the purist form. I'm going to build off of 2 nodes instead of one.

Here are the 3 Maui-Thunder seedlings 38 days after sticking the seed in the soil and watering. Each has a before and after, on # 3 note that the right branch of the lower node is a wimp. All other nodes seem to have an equal power split.

I sure trimmed up these girls skirts, I'll let you know how it turns out, genius, or village idiot.

im waiting on my 4k to come in before i start all out buying nutes and stuff. but i think imma buy some dynagro grow on my bday (oct 13) and feed my babies as well. will the growth spurt start then... cuz now the baby second true leaves are barely coming out so its been a long slow process... next time imma have to grow my mother in soil...im just working with shit since my money hasnt come in yet (oct 17). is that why all these soil grows are all way ahead of me... i saw some 9 day old seedling with full 2-3 sets of true leaves already.. i got kind of envious and had bad thoughts and wishes towards those grows haha.

does superthrive work? heard its nothing but snake oil...

I don't top 2L hempy's. Reason being, I don't really give any veg so can't give the plant recovery time. Its not needed anyway with the SOG.

I top moms.
hey moebius if i veg my sog plants for around a month is there a way to make them into single colas? and will the extra veg time give me a bit more weight per plant

Extra veg time always gives more yield. ... Your plants will still develop a central cola, you'll probably have some side branching too with bud, dependent on strain grown.

so one should just cut off the side branching? i dont want overcrowding with 128 plants

So since you cut out the metal halide vegetative bulb, you save an extra 3-4 weeks by skipping the veg cycle entirely, yes? I don't consider myself a noobie to growing but I've barely researched veg-less grows at all.

I suggest getting the plants growing, then deciding how you want to treat them. There's only so much planning you can do before hand. You'll probably won't want to cut any branches off. If youre worried about over-crowding just reduce the veg time.

I don't suggest starting with 128. It not easy peasy. It will take a little experience to handle them all and learn the peculiarities of your own growroom.

I usually go for a 12-12 from clone. What you see in my latest pics are 12-12 from seedling. ... I cut the veg right down because I can't handle large plants, I have height restrictions in my growroom. Yes, I save on the weeks others use to veg their plants but they generally end up with a higher yield. Its a trade-off.

I will say though that with keeping plants small, the buds get very dense and are of top quality.

It's the morning of the 3rd day when I normally water my C99's in the evening. My buckets are lighter than hell....gonna give them a dose of plain RO water to get through the dark period today till I can mix up some nutes for full bucket feed tonight. I can't believe these girls are only 10days into flower and they are drinking like wino's. I'll be watering every other day within the next week. This strain is really thirsty! Very, very different from the Kush I just finished.

In that scenario I have a quality spray/mist bottle on standby. When their roots are thirsty and I have no time to feed, a good soaking with a mister is very much appreciated by the ladies. ... Its the quickest way to rehydrate a plant. I usually mist both sides of the leaf AND the stems.

Howdy. Just thought I'd check out some hempy porn. Nice thread. I used to grow hempy and now use flood and drain tables. I grew in 100 percent perlite, the vermiculite always seemed to stunt growth for me from too much water retention maybe. 5 gallon buckets, usually from clone. You can grow trees if you are patient.

yeh but my mama told me prevention is the best solution to any problem. i have only one room which im vegging my scrog plants as well as my sog. i want to go 12/12 from seed but since i have to slowly add clones to the sog side to fit my 128 plant goal.. so veg is a unwanted must. i really dont want to look after 128 plants either but hey, u gotta do what u got to do and get every bang for your buck.
