I am going to start a grow journal here so I can get some help as I go down this path. I am working with regular seeds. I popped blueberry x blueberry x chem 4, papaya x grape God, secret OG, kong x 818 headband and some sour tahoe. The mother plant I have I am not sure on the genetics.

They are all in a local super soil. I did a feeding today of just some roots excel at 5.9ph. The mother and about 5 or 6 of the seedlings got topped or fimmed yesterday.

They are growing in a 2x4 tent with a 600w LED.

The mother looks a little droopy today I'm hoping its just from topping her yesterday. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced. More posts will follow as I progress.

Thanks for the advice on the super soil. I should have noted that this is my first time growing in a super soil so any advice is much appreciated. What should I be feeding, just pH'ed water, not even some molasses? I was going to brew a very weak EWC tea with some black strap molasses in it, should I wait on that?

I also wanted to note that I'm currently using tap water, but I aerated it for about 15 hours before use. The only food I have given them was the house and gardens roots excel and it was at quarter strength.

i would run just water to the plant told me other wise and then it would be tea,your gonna have to stay away from nutes friend,the reason it is called super soil is it is loaded with cooked in nutrients and as you see the little droop ,that is border line of to many nutes at that stage of growth,dont rush it friend or you will regret it,just water ph at 6.5,if you were running in soil instead of man made soil which come to find out from labs that do soil health test,all we grow are medincine in is considered potting soil ,not soil wild isnt it,soil compisition is a whole difrent critter,so in soil you ph nothing,true soil in potting soil you do,man made soil doesnt have the buffering effect as many think,but does if you dig what im saying,ph at 6.5 and water only would be what i do

soil is just a big ole filter friend,you exchange the salt threw runoff,but on other hand to much runoff washes all you bioligy away,so food for thought,dont over nute them and you dont have to worry of salt buildup,when you feed heavy even once a week you build up salt to a extint,so when folk say run 10 times the amount of pot and flush there stupid and giving you the recipe for making mud and starting over with growing your bioligy back up,the action in the pot is what you feed ,not the plant,the plant only takes what is needed the rest just sit there,if your cation exchange capicity is off it will lock to which ever mineral is more potent,usally phosphrus,why because the frosted flake effect every one wants,if you feed even balance every time and moderatly you have no problems,this is were tea is your best bet,if you want to try and make it just bust out running and finish quick,work more on lighting and the envorement they live in instead

Thanks! I like what you said about letting the plants tell me when they need something. I'll just let them let me know when they need some food and go from there.
