America dreamin'

I'm sweating it.
Feminized American Haze x California Haze from Seed Supreme. Planted December 8. They were flushed about 6 hours ago.
50/50 Coco/perlite and Fox Farm Happy Frog. Giving water pH'd to 6.5, except four days, or so, ago when I gave a wee bit of Fox Farm Grow Big and Big Bloom. It was an instant regret. The leaves started yellowing. They've had one watering and a good flush, since. I know I burned the leaves.
What I'm worried about is how small they are. Most or some y'all know I'm switching over from coco. At almost three weeks of my coco regiment, I'd have some good spacing at the nodes and much larger leaves. Is that from burning them? Are they overwatered?
The light is on 18/6 but the tent is never closed. Night light is ambient and TV. Height is 25"
My plan was to transplant them to final pot on Monday. That'll be in more Happy Frog that has been flushed severely. At the moment I'm worried that I'll burn them more if I transplant.
My paranoid thinking is I'm getting bum seeds from Seed Supreme. My last OG Kush grow was strange because I had such different sizes in the plants. 3' of difference, if you remember me blowing up my tent.

I swear by 50/50 coco/perlite, fabric pots, GH Trio + CaliMagic. Perhaps my ignorance, but why use soil?
My primary route to great buds is controlling the grow environment to eliminate unnecessary risks. Soil presents such a risk to be controlled or eliminated.
Nothing against your choice. I simply try to understand what rationale growers use to make the choices they do.
 
See, it's been years. I can't remember when I started adding nutrients. I have to believe I started this early or earlier because I didn't know from hot soil. I had extremely good luck, not knowing what I was doing. Hell, I didn't even pH my water for the first couple years. Shit... is that it? Should I not worry about adjusting pH?
Damnit-damnit! I already miss the simplicity of coco. All the more reason to cherish my Little Lucy.
 
Allotrope1000 I was getting super bored with coco. There's nothing to it. Growing weed was losing its intrigue.
It was time to buy new nutrients and medium and I was looking to get away from Indicas. This AHxCH is almost pure Sativa. My last/current grow is Franklin's CBD heavy Aunt Ginnie's which was a big step in growing something different. See, I'm trying to mix things up. Same with what I've been doing with extracts.​
 
Riiiiiight! That's why I did my little experiment with the evaporation cooled coffee reservoir, that failed. The experiment was successful, not the grow. Yours is coming along much better.
 
All good thoughts on using soil, gang.

My first greenhouse grow had two pure landrace sativa photos (Malawi Gold and Durban Poison). They did fine in coco/perlite. As have subsequent photo/AF and hybrid grows.
 
"I was getting super bored with coco. There's nothing to it."

I dono, nothing wrong with boring if it produces good results. Idk much about soil as I have only ever used coco/p and it never let me down.
 
I've always had a garden, veggies and shit, started growing in 2020, been pretty much a perpetual grow
 
Ckbrew growing my dope is a thing for me to do in my otherwise mundane life. I don't like a lot of change. When I need one, I need one. Not much more I can do with coco. Switching to soil gives me something more to do. If I get back into this, I'll look at the different soils and supplements and junk; bro-science and the real type.
I also switched from autos to feminized so I can try filling my tent with a couple manifolds. A 4-plant jungle is cool in a 3x3 and impresses the friends who don't grow. When I see what some of y'all people do with training, that's what I want. I will impress myself if I can do some of the topiaries I see. Not actual topiaries, get me? Just the style and form and intent. You can't do that with autos. Not what I see.
 
Message sent to Seed Supreme. See what they say.
I have two bags full of the soil these were going to go into. SS sent Blueberry for the freebies. They might go raw-dog into the bags to see what happens. They might go into the cups if I decide to pull the AHxCH. I might pop others sitting in the veggie drawer I know to be good seeds.
Is it the SS seeds or me and/or the soil?
The experiment is on!
 
Hey Dabber. The last few times I used ffhp it was super hot. So hot I didn't have to use any veg nutes. Was even concerned about too much N in flower. Wasn't like that the first few times I used it. Not sure if they're just loading it up for better results or what. Also had pH problems even after adding extra dolomite lime. I just gave up on it and went to Roots Organic original with some extra perlite and dolomite and its been much more consistent. Still hot but not as bad as the hf. Just don't get it, the ocean forest is supposed to be the hot one. And yea I think the plants do look a little over watered and a little stunted. Might catch up but but it will probably cost a few extra weeks in veg.
