First grow kicks off!

SoOrbudgal The smell is very low. I have to get my nose on leaves to smell. Bad soil as in too much moisture or nutrient issues? I am using only coco-perlite and Nebula's nutrient schedule. I had algae all around the cup probably from overwatering. The plants were droopy as well. I watered slowly and now they seem fine.

The cups I had were very small. I couldn't get the 16oz cup because we're in midst of plastic ban so all I could get instead was paper cups. Initially I only wanted to use grow bags but then I had nothing to hold it together inside tent so I put it in pots and saucer beneath.
 
If you're getting Runoff water in your saucers, make sure to Empty them after the water stops draining - Don't let your pots sit in (or re-absorb) the runoff water.

You probably already know these things. I don't mean to sound "Bossy", but it's sometimes hard to know what You know?

I wish you the Best of Luck with your grow!
 
Roger that! I am cleaning up saucers at six/eight hour interval. Thanks for the heads up. and its not bossy man, its cool!
 
Week 3 completed.

Hey guys quick help needed! I noticed the newest growth of all plants(except the one in cup) has a slight burn possibly nute burn. During their three weeks of age I have given them nute water twice. They are due to water today. Should I water them with pH-ed plain water or should I water them at half nutes? I understand bit burn is no issue but I want to play safe atm.
 
Keep a close eye on how Far your Light is from the Top of your plants, too. if you're using Nutes at 1/2 strength, it may be light burn? (Yes, I'd suggest using 1/2 strength nutes - as Nebula says, "sometimes Less is More") What's the distance of your light from top of plants? Remember to Raise your light as plants grow closer to it.
 
Sledrock The light is at 34" from top of the plant. I have been using Nebula's schedule for coco and No I have not yet used half nutes for past watering. I want to do half nute this watering and see how plants react. If this is a light burn, change the height. You can see the burn if you zoom in the last photo above.
 
34 inches should be plenty high enough for your light, I would think? I used 1/2 nutes for my plants because they were supposed to be Auto-Flowering (used Nebula's schedule for Autos, which is 1/2 of GH's recommendation for their Flora Trio Nutes.) When I discovered my plants were really Photo's I just continued with the 1/2 since they never got any Nute Burns and the plants looked healthy.
 
I couldn't find any signs of nute burn in the pics, the plants look good to me. I'm no weed master but I definitely have seen some unhealthy plants and your ladies(fingers crossed) look happy to me.
 
Day 26 Week 4!
3 plants were watered at 6.35 pH at full nutes. (Last Runoff reading was 5.80~)
Runoff pH today, From Top Left
IQ 1 - 6.40, IQ 2 - 6.47, IQ 4 - 6.50
IQ 3 (bottom right), IQ 5, IQ 6 were not watered, they looked moist for now.

I also moved the light a bit, may be 1~2 cm.

I have a confusion. I am keeping two plants in solo cup for grow off. These plants were small but now they are picking up pace. Their roots are starting to circle the cup. How do I ensure that the plant stays healthy without transplanting it to bigger pot?
 
I think anyone who has that aspect figured out has a good chance to win this thing. I made sure that I will not be able to trim the rootball or replant mine so I will have to ride it out and see how it goes. Hopefully the roots find enough room in the voids between pebbles to make it all the way.
 
Not sure if avoiding a root bound plant in a solo cup is possible. My goal is to water a little several times a day and let it drain well. If that fails then it's back to the drawing board.
