Yeah, I figured it needed at least one full watering, considering it had never been water (and I think I said that I had transplanted her just straight into the promix, right from the bag, no watering). I'll give it more water in a little bit.

See, that's the thing: I wanted to leave it be, but then when I did, I came back to a slouched seedling :( Let me provide some context: it's the middle of summer, daytime temps are always around 90-96, and the tent is like 90 during the day (that's what it was when I came home). Humidity in the...

Okay, so I measured 200 mL of water, pH'd it and watered her only 50 mL, I set the rest aside in case I need it later today.. I noticed the water had a tough time breaking the surface tension (I was also super gentle when pouring), I heard people add a drop of dish soap to their water? I'm...

I put some more soil around her to hold up the stem... :S I panicked. Gonna water her now.

OH GOD PLS HALP!! I think she is thirsty; what else could this mean?? I left her last night after swapping out the lights. Then she slept from 9 am to 3 pm and I come home at 5 pm to this?!?! Can I go ahead and water her? How much so, saturate the whole pot?? I don't think this was a light...

@whitebb2727 Temperature seems to have stabilized at 31.2 Celsius/88 Fahrenheit and 56% RH, and it's the dead of night, so I don't see it getting much cooler than that for the remainder of the summer (part of the reason I opted for the 250W for veg). Do you figure she'll be due for a watering...

Well, I went ahead and swapped in the 250W MH. I would prefer that my single lady harden off as quick as she can. The current distance between leaves and bulb (which is in a cooltube) is 80cm/31.5". Tbh I used a 1m length of ducting to connect cooltube to exhaust, otherwise I probably would have...

Gotcha. She is about 12" beneath a 34W and 46W CFL - when should I put up my 250W MH lamp?

Yeah, y'all are right, I was going to love them both to death. I believe where I mainly went wrong was how deep I planted both seeds.... Fuckin' rookie mistake.... Well, this is my last lady standing for now. She just had her first 6 hour night of sleep and seems to be progressing - she doesn't...

Just a quick update: I went to check on them, and as expected runty hasn't progressed, but I picked up the quick one's pellet and saw like 1/4" of root popping out the bottom!! I just transplanted her into a 1.5L plastic pot so she can build some root structure. I just watered her with about...

Ah yeah, I see what happened. I actually nipped off the tip of the embryonic leaf, not the true leaf. I hope mine doesn't grow all wonky! Hehe. Although her root/stem is a little like a crazy straw at the beginning. Her sister just doesn't seem like she's gonna go anywhere :( What pruning...

Well, her quicker sister managed to get most of the thin film off, but I got impatient and slightly maimed her a few hours ago when taking off the rest - just a nip off the tip of an already small cotyledon, but the other one is intact. I just checked up on her, and she is already starting to...

Hi all! I started these 2 Honey Cream (FF) from RQS last Thursday. I started them off in moist paper towels, and on Friday they had already cracked, so I put them in jiffy pellets I infused with water + fast roots... They've been progressing everyday, evidently, but this girl with the seed husk...

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll see what I can do about these light leaks within the next 2 weeks.. I understand that little sprouts need 24h light until week 2 or 3, no? Yesterday both my Honey Cream (Fast Flowering) from RQS cracked open and I put them in jiffy pellets that I had infused...

No problem, yo. Heya Roger, Okay, so my tap water from potable water filter is consistent at 6.8 pH and 88 ppm. I know for a fact that my city uses chlorine to treat the water, and not chloramine. My "RO water" is still 0 ppm, and the pH was 8.5 today (it was sitting in a plastic water jug...

Hello sunny, Okay, I'll see which light leaks are the most bothersome and easiest to fix and get on that. Might put up some panda film on the window to keep the early morning sunlight from hitting my tent (although, tbh, my plants will still be awake in the early morning). The thing about my...

Good day to you, RIU Community! ____________________________________________________________ TL;DR My Secret Jardin DR90 (3'x3'x6') has a few factory light leaks that are kind of to be expected.. Should I be worried/take precautions? My RO water also comes out of the filter at 9.0 (which I...

Thank you kindly! I guess I'll have to wait and find out... Are seedlings okay with 0 ppm water? Around when would I need to start adding CalMag on average? Cheers!

Hellooo RIU Community! TL;DR Bought a homemade "RO" filter (not true RO). Water comes out at 6.6-6.8 pH and 0 ppm (EC unknown). Since filter is very new (have run less than 400 mL of water through it, since I haven't yet started grow), carbon precipitate still comes out in the water from the...

Also, I just measured the pH and EC of my tap water that I let sit for like 36h: My pH pen is not calibrated anymore, despite storing in KCl 3M solution, so now I have that to deal with that headache. TDS meter said 95ppm, and wikipedia told me that was "moderately hard". Would I need CalMag in...
