Update on these 2... I got a 4x2 tent with a st2000 so I put them in there. They've been in the tent for 24 hours at this point.
Also got 2 clones a few days ago so there's a lot of learning going on. Hah. It's fun though.

First grow but I have a lot of gardening experience that isn't helping me very much, hah. My 2 bag seeds popped at the start of the month so they're 24 days in the soil at this point. They're in organic soil and I've been watering every couple days with tap water or when the pots feel light. They've been outside for most of their life but a few rainy days under a 75 watt grow light. I was watering with a spray bottle, a little bit every day at first but then switched to watering through which I think is where I went wrong... kind of wondering what I should do now as I think they're damping off and I don't want to lose them. Should I transplant into better draining medium? It's been 4 days since I've water them and they still feel kind of bottom heavy. Thanks for any advice you all can give!

Fertilizer burn or hot soil ( nutrient rich) seedlings dont need a food source just warm moist soil Not Wet!

Thanks. I haven't fed them anything at this point and I transplanted into better draining soil a couple weeks ago.
Here's one of them as of last night after a week and a half in my new tent...

Another update on these... coming along nice now. Thinking about topping soon.. This one is looking like a girl? I figured it was too soon to tell but I see another little hair poking out on the left side? Would that indicate a female?

just leave them in the pot you have. they need to be left alone, the light well like 2 ft?
the next time they need water., do this.,View attachment 1139045

Nice video. I want to argue or should I say disagree a bit with your method. I was taught a long time ago ( when the Beatles were popular ) to put my soil into a tub first and mix in water until the soil is wet, not saturated but wet and broken up by hand while mixing in the water. Then into the pot for the plant, add plant and water around the inner circle, not the edges and not the center until water leaks out all the drain holes. gently pressing around the seedling to seat the root in the soil.

Also keeping the t5's 2 ft away..I find I get too much stretch out of them unless I keep the light within a few inches of plants. Once they are onto their 2nd set of leaves I'm less than 6" away with new Sunblaster tubes....I should say they're growing like weeds. Just my 2 cents on it.....I used to be able to get 6 candy banana's or strawberries for that.

I think I see a second girl poking out on the 2nd node down...

 

[jguit]

Looks that way!

Update: Flipping to flower tonight. I can't believe how these plants bounced back from the 1st pic in this thread, then, they both turned out to be girls! Glad I didn't bail on them. Looking forward to seeing how these ladies do in this second stage and how much they stretch and pack on. Thanks all for helping get this far

Update: Day 7 flower. They're stretching pretty good so far and I just put up the scrog net for hopes of seeing some signs of flowering soon!

They were a little droopy this morning but their pots were really light so I gave them 1/2 strength flowering npk in water and they seem to be purking up again. I hate a sad looking plant!

Once I see them throwing pistils I think I'll defoliate most the veg below the net and anything that's blocking buds.

What are we looking at here? Some kind of calmag deficiency? I've yet to give them any but I'm starting to see little rust looking spots here and there and in the main leaf vien.
Day 11 flower in FFOF with perlite and running a tsl2000.
Thx!

 

[SativaBob]

Gave her some calmag in with the regular feeding nutes today. Hopefully will see an improvement in a about a week or so.
