Looking good stoner . The fun is just getting started . And really close to adding very low dose of nutes the next few days ..
Great job

[Yeahimastoner]

Thanks!

[Mr.furley]

Looking good Yeahimastoner.
young plants will spend time growing roots and lot of times you won't see a burst of upwards growth until they've established themselves, I find around week 3 you start noticing the plant growing fast.

[Yeahimastoner]

Mr.furley Thanks for the comment! I will continue to be patient.

[Yeahimastoner]

When is a good time to start introducing nutes to water? At the moment I'm just using RO water.

[MedMan]

Hey stoner . Now that you have the first stage of leaves its real early in the veg stage so you can start adding nutes but be real lite with them until you start getting regular full leaves .
Check the nute chart and look at 1st stage of germ or veg and just put about 1/8 to 1/4 in but DONT mix just the nutes together add them to a pint or so of water . Some nutes mixed together will null each other out so mix them with water then add to the tank dont pour on the plant .
Hope that helps

[Mr.furley]

Agreed and great watering practices advice from MedMan.
Nutes should also be mixed in order to you water base..
1. SI (silica)
2. Cal Mag
3. phosphate then potassium
4. Nitrogen
5. Micros
6. PH adjusters
you should never see white foaming or bubbling on top of your "pint" after adding each Nutes to your base water. This practice will keep it from happening.
You may not be using all of the listed nutes for you grow.

[Yeahimastoner]

Is the yellowing in the middle normal?

[Mr.furley]

Nope! Did you add nutes? How far is your light? What's you Ph at?

[Yeahimastoner]

I added 1/4 of flora series suggested dose last night. That was my first time adding nutes. Light is 26” and ph was 7.0 before I ph down to around 6.0.

I went and looked at your pics from a few days ago and zoomed way in and it had already started yellowing . So it might not be nute burn more like nitrogen deficiency.
for that problem could be light too high and no nitrogen . Put a call out for help in nebulas sticky link for help . Im sure it can be fixed either light or nutes just not sure which . I wish i knew stoner sorry .

[MedMan]

Also stoner did you get the good syringes too measure nutes ? The cheap clear ones sent with the nute set is impossible to read by me anyway

[Yeahimastoner]

I did use the ones they sent with the nutes. I do have one syringe...I probably should start using it

[MedMan]

Just rinse good in clean water between nutes so you dont get cross contamination.I have a few for each seperate nute .
Also the ones i have are nice because no needle and i put a 4 or 5 inch piece of air tubing on the end to get down in thw bottle.

[Mr.furley]

I thought I read you turned you light up a couple of days ago. I would be curious if it is to much/close for the young plant, I'm not a LED guy but Canuck147 would know.

[Yeahimastoner]

You are correct...I changed it from 60 to 100. Maybe to should change it back

[MedMan]

I would turn rhe led down now that you have the leaves also what is light time ? 18/6

[Yeahimastoner]

Thanks guys!

[MedMan]

Try looking here stoner https://www.growweedeasy.com/how-to-...abis-seedlings
about 6 pics down looks like yours

[Yeahimastoner]

Thanks for sending!

[MedMan]

No problem stoner .
will catch you tomorrow have a nurse coming early.

[Yeahimastoner]

My plant is slowing bouncing back since I turned my light down and moved my light up 4 inches

[Yeahimastoner]

When applying is it better to spray plant or add to water.

[Mr.furley]

I only Spray foilage/feed clones while they root or for pest management, my only advice would be by root/water. Doesn't mean you can't just not in my grow practice.

[Yeahimastoner]

Mr.furley Thanks for all the help!

[Yeahimastoner]

I put 1/4 the dose flora nutrients in last week Wednesday. Today I’m suppose to add another dose but I checked the ppm and it read 485. The water ppm is 24.

Should I add nutrients today?
when you add nutrients do you automatically have to change the water?

[MedMan]

Hey stoner sorry ive missed talking and keeping up but .Right now sounds like your good on nutes for now just add reg water to keep level up . If ppm is low then you can add to new water to add but plant is still little baby so shes not using plenty of nutes . Keep up good work and dont forget PICTURES. that really helps people see whats going on and might see problems before you notice them .

[Yeahimastoner]

Thanks Gary!

[Yeahimastoner]

Quick update! I'm in week 2 of veg and everything looks good. I have been checking the PH daily and making adjustments when needed. PPM has been around 430. This week I plan to change the water for the first time and add more nutes.

If you have any suggestions please share.

[Yeahimastoner]

Mr.furley That is a great suggestion with taking pictures with natural light. I will make sure all pics going forward is not with the LED light. Also, the white speckles on the leaves is dried up water that hits the leaves from the drip system.

[Mr.furley]

If you can keep the leaf from getting wet with lights on it would be best.
Looking good stoner.

[MedMan]

Hey stoner i zoomed in as close as possible on my phone . Plant looking great and stem is thickened up .
The only thing i see is like furley says take pics either flash or reg light or both in macro if possible.
And just looking at the pics it looks a little yellow on new growth and a few very small brown or burnt tips that u might want to watch ..Dont worry still plenty of time to go but check your light output and light height to the plants .
Great job : ) stoner
