    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Day 38 The plants are still very droopy and now I have to rule out under watering since the soil is still a bit wet even on top. I’m really starting to believe that my temps are way too low at 15C for 6 hours during lights off and only up to 20C during lights on. And it’s a slow climb to that...

    I’m also thinking of starting 2 photos in here 18/6 light cycle in small pots and then hopefully these autos finish by the time the photos get too big. Bad idea?

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Day 37 I ran into some very droopy and sad leaves. There are a few reasons I can think of specific to my grow that may have been causing it. 1) Under watering. I thought maybe I was watering too much but maybe I should have been watering more. I started watering about 2L per plant and let it...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    The girls are looking a bit sad this morning. I watered them but I think I’ll lay off the LST for a few days. Just going to let them bounce back a little bit. I flipped on my carbon filter today so my temps are down to 20C.

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    I used it to make holes in the rim of my felt pots to tie my limbs down. But if I botched it and cut myself I would just put some trash on it like Frank.

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    The girls are filling in and well into their “explode” phase I think. I’m not sure how much more they will grow but I’ve been doing daily LST/tucking fan leaves to expose more Bud sites and getting the canopy more levelled off. I’m not sure how much more LST I should do since I’m sure even “low...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Did a little more LST this morning and watered until runoff. Didn’t take much water to run out of these felt pots tho. I didn’t snap any pics but I’ll take some tomorrow probably once the LST takes and things start to point upwards again. I always find initially any LST makes the girls look...

    Coming along nicely. I’m surprised at how well the White Widow is doing seeing as it spent its first two weeks locked in a cheap rockwool prison looking like this That was her at three WEEKS old! Pale yellow and about to topple over and croak at any moment. Look at her now! She’s in the back...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Yeah I think I’m going to stay away from autos in future as well. My goal was to start three then start three more half through etc all in the same tent so the autos seemed to make the most sense for perpetual growth in a single tent. But I killed two seedlings and now I’m only doing the single...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Alright, so two out of my three autos are showing white hairs. From everything I’ve searched the is a tell-tale sight of pre-flower. I had expected it from my White Widow since its actually about two weeks older than the others, but when I saw them appear on Zkittles I got concerned that these...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    I’ve just started giving each plant ~16oz of water each watering. Only once so far but I have been watering roughly every 36-48 hours with about 8-10oz water each. At what point would any of you start dumping in like a litre at a time or more? Next grow I might go for smaller pots haha we’ll see

    Lean on over White Widow. Already flowering or not, I’m going to experiment with this one. First time LST for me

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Would you risk bending it over or just leave it be? I’m sure I could get it maybe 45 degrees over or more

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Day 22 for Critical Mass and Zkittles and day 40 for White Widow. All times are from seed White widow is showing a few white hairs in its upper nodes. Does this signal a switch to flower? Or is it just showing it’s sex? At what point would you guys start to bend these ladies over for a little LST?

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    Day 16 for Critical mass and Zkittles. Day 34 for White Widow The ladies are all showing nice growth. The leaves on Zkittles are pointed up and praying a little. From what I’ve read this could mean they are happy and have everything they need. Other sources say it could be too much light or...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    14 days from seed for these two smaller ones. Critical Mass and Zkittles. The bigger one is actually behind and is the White Widow that I rescued from bad rockwool. The roots would not grow into the rockwool at all. But since I’ve torn it open and stuck it in soil, she’s starting to take off...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    So judging by the amount of water you see in these pics would you be using more/further out? I would say each seedling gets about 6-7oz every 18-24hrs. But I go based on how the soil feels about an inch deep. If just the top is dry and needs a few squirts that’s all I give them. I’m just...
