Hi there DF!

Nice lookin plants you got there!

I wouldnt worry about the size to be honest as long as they're healthy thats all that matters :)

what your temps like? pH of water? waht type of nutes will you be using? Wht you lined your closet with? What size pots?

To be honest they looka reasonable size for 2 weeks and same with the 12 day old one mine are only 9 days and are way behind yours :)

Check ma log out its in the grow log section in basic growing.

Peace
Ryno :rastasmoke:

Hey,

I haven't tested the pH levels yet. I'll let you know on the next watering.
I lined my closet with those bags you use for wine bottles.

The temp tends to get pretty hot in there. I think it would go up to 90 there.

Right now, the pot sizes are still small, I dunno the smaller one is about less than a pint and the bigger one is probably a quart.

Oh, i haven't used any nutes yet. That may be the problem of what i'm having with somewhat curled down leaves. And the tip is curled down too. It's droopy now but I think thats because of my watering. I'm used Schultz fert 6-2-2. Planning on using 1/4 strength and see what happens.

SHIT SHIT,

The older one is sick. I figured it was a nute def. issue, so i just fed it with some Schultz 10-5-10 fert. 1/4 strength. Even though i just watered it.

Alright I fixed the Def nute problem. BUT i just checked my PH levels. and they don't look so good.

It's a bit on the acidic side. the color is coming out like yellow piss. so i'm guessing somewhere around 5.5-6.0. I threw in about 3 teaspoons of this Garden Lime. "Espoma Organic Traditions Garden Lime.

But, i'm not sure how long this thing will take for the Ph to raise.

ANY suggestions?

Hmm, i'ma just do some kind of PH UP into my watering supply. and see how that goes. but does anyone know if how much should i put this garden lime in so i won't have to add PH UP to my water. Or, how long does lime take to neutralize the soil?
