Hi all. My girls are in day 22 from sprout (with one exception, on that more later), first time grower, really happy so far, but obviously more q's than a's at this early stage in my learning. My big girl who popped almost immediately continues to race on, though still a little paler and more yellow than the other girls. I don't see an other signs of watering issues (I'm in coco, watering 1.7EC in, getting 1.5 out, pH to 5.9), or other signs of curling or other nutrient issue signs. But then my eye is inexperienced - hence the check! :) Photos 1 & 2. Note that the yellow colour I'm referring to is much less prominent in the 'above' photo, which leads me to believe it's just paler sativa leaves meeting a very yellow spectrum, which from the side is a lot more scattered.
Girl 2 is next, very very sideways. Again forgive me things that are just obvious and always happen, it's all new for me. But very sideways, has almost filled an 8 gallon pot in 3 weeks while only about 6 inches tall. Can really see that stretch on those first triple leaves. Is that normal? Is it a sign of some sort of issue? I just took it to be well selected genetics for plants that favour sideways growth... They are Green Crack which I'm told is sativa dominant, but can it be that the extra stretch of a sativa can actually be sideways? The short stoutness and long stretch of leaves has left them touching the soil, see photo - have since dug that out to prevent any issues from it sitting in moisture. Photos 3 & 4 for plant 2.
Girl 3 is a couple days behind as she sprouted upside down and did some weird shit. Lovely plant but a little stunted compared to the other two. She is photo 5.
Girl 4 is a replacement of a couple of dud seeds that sprouted but had munted cotyledons and wouldn't produce leaves. She cracked in an hour in water and went straight into dirt, and sprouted next day. Girl 3 sprouted 6 days earlier but in real terms reckon she's only 2-3 days behind now. Photo 6.
BTW - lights are 2x Mars Hydro TSL 2000 300w. They were set at about 30 in. on 25%, which was delivering about 12 DLI measured at plant tops. I have begun in the last 5 days to lower this. Now sitting at around 22 in. delivering around 23 DLI to the plants. I'm following a lighting chart from a commercial indoor grower that moves slowly up to 15 DLI across seedling, then in first week of veg steps up from 15 to 25. Let me know if you think they're getting too much, they don't seem to be wilting or showing other signs. The last photo there is the central top of the big girl, the one from the first two photos.
I'm using Canna A+B with Rhizo to get to my 1.7. I water with 15-20% run off every time - well, that's the endeavour. All new to me, and the demand is changing so quickly as they start to rev up. I'm keeping a detailed diary to record what goes in and comes out, so I can optimise my Nutes use as well as yield in future runs.
Keen to hear thoughts, cheers for checking it out. Peace.
