420Captain first grow. How are they doing ?

[trygrowup]

Pop those seeds, leave under 24hr light for a week, transplant into 1 gallon or 1.5 gallon and put directly under 12/12 under finished!!
Look up 12/12 from seed!!

The idea is more small plants, right?
Just to clarify for OP

Personally I have not grown anything over 32" by 12/12 from seed. Tend to stay shorter and more like a big ass bud stick!!

 

[420Captain]

What is your setup you grow in ? How many plants ? And how much do you get out of them ?

 

[trygrowup]

@TerpBeans Almost the same as my friend back in the days. He used clones though, but also many short and like as you call it " big ass bud stick"

Worked like a charm. Although it was a lot of work for him hand watering all those small pot two times a day

 

[TerpBeans]

I change it up every grow. Sometimes I veg for 3-4 weeks with new seeds, sometimes I flower clones as soon as rooted..... Bit always have a few 12/12 from seed in the grow room!
Great way to find the fire genetics

Look what happened when i clicked your post

 

[420Captain]

Guys, i did a thing..
Don't tell my wife..

No, not sponsored bij spider farmer

 

[420Captain]

Damn, the look really droopy today. I really think i don't give enough water ?
Today i gave them 500ml each.. Ph 6.3 Ec 0.7

How do you guys water in this stage ? 21days old now.

 

[MrSativa]

Are these fotos right after lights turn on?

 

[trygrowup]

Yeah i was thinking about asking you about that.

Look at the picture from yesterday. You could have noticed before.
Well good thing no harm done.
And you've learned to read your plants better already now you noticed.

You are on the right track for what you want.

 

[TerpBeans]

500ml of water is nowhere near enough for those size of pots. Really have to work on feeling the weight of the pots after a watering with some run off compared to plants/pots needing watering because they are just about dry! I would suggest roughly 1.5L per plant. Start around the edge of the pot and pour all the way around in a circle. Let sit for 5 minutes and do it again

 

[420Captain]

Yes they are. Pic 10 min after light on. I gave them water first.

Oh damn, i'm way off!!

And you are right, i should have noticed yesterday!
Should i give them another liter now or wait another 24hrs ?

Ok grower. Let's chime in.
What actual feed chart for cannabis for the plagron nutrients are you using.

I am the king of trying my own feed rates or listening to the guys on a forum and utterly failing at growing good pot.
If you are running organic then do yourself a favor and follow the specific feed chart.
Your plants looked like mine when the organics started to run out.
Amending soils with organic nutrients and using a organic feed chart will never over wing your grow. Organics do not work that way.
They do take a while to convert and I always recommend a bio support add for the root zone.
Let me know what plagron nutes you are using an let's find a feed chart for cannabis and see what's up.
There are a bunch of plagron feed charts to follow need the nutrient line.

 

[420Captain]

hii,

Soil is Plagron lightmix and plagron schedule.
I follow the schedule but started light.

Edit: New sensors from spider farmer got delivered.
It's plugged in for an hour and co2 says 1025 and ppfd 525. You happy with that ?
co2 seems high ? I read that the plants can recieve more light with higher co2 ?

 

[TerpBeans]

Light and CO2 are just fine. Its your watering practices that need adjusted. Properly water and let dry back, but not to bone dry!
Follow your nutrient chart

 

[420Captain]

Yes, i follow the chart like it's the bible. I also check ph and ec.

Today the got 500ml, i will give the another liter tommorow?

How often do you give your plants the 1.5liter ?

I told you already before to water 10% of you pot.

Wait until they are dry water 10% wait untill they are dry again its so simple.

Also if you look directly after dark cycle they will always looks somewhat droopy, watch when light goes off and decide if you will water next day.

 

[JIMKSI64]

That Plagron is mineral based and not organic.
Any fade or intervein issues can be fixed pronto with minerals but you always have the risk of overshooting and the pot can build up salts over time.
Even plagron says pH the mixture although 6 to 7 is a range not a target.
Watering and nutrient schedule and watch them grow.
