I have holes just at the bottom. I can poke a few more on the sides. Interesting thought though because I really felt like I wasn't overwatering, but perhaps the water I am giving it isn't able to drain. Thanks for the info!!If your relying on your medium for nutrients stop watering till runoff, runoff is leaching the nutrients out.
I'd imagine the plant in solocup is lagging behind because of overwatering ) not enough drainage did you put any holes in the bottom/sides of the cup?
I will definitely be researching LST a bit more. I feel pretty confident with topping as I've watched several tutorials. I look forward to that next stage.Hey man. I can totally relate to the paranoia and stress. I'm right in the middle of my first grow too, and the good crew here at THC Farmer have been kind enough to talk me down from many a ledge.
For what its worth I think your plants look great. I was just comparing your pics to mine at 2-weeks and frankly yours look better.
You asked about height, and yes, they will get taller and will probably do so quickly. Mine all did so at different rates, with one strain I'm growing being much denser and generally shorter than the other.
I would recommend that you start looking into the basics of Low Stress Training and topping (if you haven't already) as those are probably going to be the next major steps in your grow. They are both very easy to do and will increase your overall yield tremendously. I've been doing a lot of it so feel free to PM if you have any questions. I'm not an expert but I can help you with the first steps.
I skipped the Scrog for my first grow and I'm glad I did. Its a fantastic technique and will likely increase your yield by helping you fill every corner of your tent with delicious bud sites. That being said, I really appreciate being able to pull these dense plants I have to the front of the tent for LST, defoliation, watering, etc. Your tent doesn't look at deep as mine so that may not be an issue for you, but keep that in mind before you set up a net.
You will be able to answer many of your other questions over the course of your grow, especially the ones related to the anatomy of the plant. One of my absolute favorite things about this grow has been my ability to observe the very small changes the plants go through on a daily basis, and in doing so I've already learned so much about the plants and have new ideas for future grows.
Good luck, and a make a grow diary if you haven't already done so because I want to follow along with another first time grower.
Edit: Oh, and that solo cup seedling looks overwatered, even if you just watered it imo. Maybe let that cup dry completely before giving it any more juice.
I like to have a few around the side at the bottom, the plastic cups are great at holding moisture in.I have holes just at the bottom. I can poke a few more on the sides.
