Newbie looking for assurance

It's better to water around lights on if possible so the plant doesn't have wet feet overnight. Might not be related to your problem though, just a suggestion.

Fingers I just watered them 4-5 hours ago, I will see when it's lights on how they did. I will post some pics in a couple hours and let you guys know. I really think I just waited one day too many to water💩

 

[Rockett1973]

Thanx for the advice I will start doing that from now on, I do lights out during the day as it is really hot here during the day so as to avoid soo much heat strain

I didn't mean to water just a spoonful in a circle around the plant. I was saying no need to drown a seedling in a little cup. I'm pretty sure I read that from Nebula on GWE about seedlings. But everyone's differant it seems ,especially when you might have an issue an can't watch them close when they are young.

Ok guys this is after watering and then 8 hours later here they are, I guess it's just that I waited a little too long between waterings

 

[Rockett1973]

They look like they are bouncing right back

 

[Rockett1973]

Also can anyone tell me if the straight upward growth in the middle there is normal.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Looks fine to me 73 ,good job.

 

[Rockett1973]

How long (ballpark) till i need to start worrying about full watering? When should I consider Topping or LST?

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Looks like to me anytime your ready now, but you might want to listen what some of the pros say.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

I agree with Jeg with more water in a bigger pot for sure ,but not in a Dixie cup ,but that is just me ,certainly everyone does it a differant way.I'm not a pro either . But I have seen them droop from not enough water, an from to much water also thats why if your just starting growing you ought to read Nebulas article about seedlings and other things first before you even buy your seeds. Bro 73 it ain't like you have to be a brain scientist to grow pot . You need a seed a pot and water and feed if you ain't growing in supersoil , and yes it's normal for your seedlings stalk to be straight.I promise you I am not trying to be a smart ads either. But if you will read GWE you will find everything you need to know about growing pot. Hope this helps an good luck.

Nice to see they bounced back -- they look fine to me! In my limited experience I have found that most mistakes with this plant, caught early enough, can be undone pretty easily. These. Plants. Want. To. Thrive!

 

[Rockett1973]

I think that's my problem, I've read GWE damn near cover to cover 2-3 times and all this info is in there and it's messing with me. I mean yeah I can Grow a flower, but for some reason the stakes seem a lot "higher" with these little girls.

What do y'all think. They are getting pretty big, even my slowest one is moving along now

 

[9fingerleafs]

Looking mighty fine and very healthy in my opinion

 

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Looks awesome! What's the true watts on ur lights or unless u know ur par value?

 

[Rockett1973]

These are right after FIMing and I'm working on getting wattage, it just says 600w

 

[Rockett1973]

How can I find the manufacturer or the true wattage.
I bought the lights from another grower, and he didn't remember what they were.

U can use a cheap device that plugs into the socket and then u plug the light into it and it reads ur watts

 

[tyler_ hobbyist]

Or unless u can find out the brand and model. Or if the cord/light has a sticker saying volts and amps. How u find watts is multiply volts by amps fo for example 125volts multiply by 2.5amps is 312.5watts. That would be ur true watts because that's the power curently going thro.
