What do you use to weigh buds?

I’m new to this. These are my first plants

The trick to no to overwater is to lift the cup and get a feel on how heavy they are. This is why growsince95 asked if you have a scale so you can measure how heavy the cup is. wet soil is a lot heavier than dry soil. also, don't just dump some water on it thinking this is how you water.

You need to give a bit of water and wait 10 min, than give it a bit more and wait 10 min. you'll notice that the water penetrates faster the 2nd and 3rd round. Make sure you have holes at the bottom of the cups so excessive water can drain.

Also, when you are ready to transplant make sure your soil has 10% additional perlites.

tell us what you are using for soil and nutrients?

I’m using fox farms ocean forest soil and it already has enough nutrients for the first few weeks. I’m also going to be using recharge once a week

scales are $12-15 on amazon. Must have for every grower.

FFOF is a hot soil for seedlings. You should start seedlings in (FFHF) and then transplant into FFOF
also FF hold nutrients for 3 months so you don't need to give it any fertilizer or nutrients.

I know. He didn’t know that at first and added extra nutrients

Not sure about ffof, but cocoloco is super hot -runoff is over 3000ppm and seedlings love it.

however, don't just crank the light to 100% now, work them into it and raise the light. Mine just grow at 100% intensity so mine are used to the intensity of the light

Filled soil up in the cup and will slowly be turning up the light over the next couple days. Thoughts on how they look?

they have a nice beautiful green colour to them. make sure your tent humidity is at 65% and keep the temps at around 80f/26c. if you have a small fan turn it on so there is air movement, That will allow the stems to move and get stronger

I have been trying to keep humidifier at a lower level. It’s at 70 right now and sometimes heads up to 75 and the temp is at 75 usually. I have a new exhaust fan I’ll be getting today and I have a hurrican fan with a light breeze over the top of them

keep your temp at 80F trough out your grow. For Humidity follows as
Seedling 60-75%
Veggative 50-65%
Flower 40-60%
Drying 60%

+1 except lower temp to 65-70 for drying

I use this chart to make sure for a best environment

here is a chart that shows the best ph for the style of grow your doing.

lol, true. also some genetics in flower if you bring your temp down to 72f in flower than the colours will start pumping. Purple genetics and such

right on, thanks again. yes, i'm finding that the members here are all extremely helpful. very stoked to have stumbled upon the farm

Do you know how to get better drainage in the red solo cups? I have 5 holes in the bottom of each cup but they’re pretty small @PK1

 

[growsince79]

Add 15-20% perlite. Water correctly, and dont transplant untill they need water daily(about 2-3 weeks) Plants thats start out healthy have a better chance of finishing healthy.
