Are these seedlings or veg?

[herbie the love bud]

What does everyone think? Are these still considered seedlings or would the be considered the veg stage now?

Thanks for looking.

[Illusion]

i would say if you haven't added any nutes already, it would be time to use 1/4 strength

how old are they?//

there veg

I really don't know the scientific definition of when a seedling becomes a 'vegetating' plant ... I start counting the plants' age, as soon as it breaks soil ... some don't start counting till ???, I guess some have their own schedule (which is why one guy's '30-day' plant will be as big as the next guy's '40-day' old) ... :wtf:

Veg, and pretty nice looking!
I define veg personally as the point at which you ar going to start nutes- usually 4-5 sets of adult leaves, or whenever you see the first signs that the plant needs nitrogen.
Start out on your 1/4 strength feeding.
What's your heat like? That leaf curl is worrisome.

Thanks everyone. I've been using 1/2 strength nutes for 1 week now.

Stinky- The leaf curl was going to be my next question. I was gone for 2 days and we are having an extreme weather condition with really hot and dry air. I raised the lamp and am cooling them back down.

Was going to ask if it looked like it was the heat or Mg deficiency.

Let me know what you think.

[stinkyattic]

It's not just the heat, it's the [lack of] humidity!
That thing you see posted every so often that plants 'pray for magnesium' is a myth. They're hot and dry and raising the lamp is EXACTLY what you should do.
Keep them well-watered through hot dry spells but make certain that they are USING the water.

Wow, thanks for the tip on the Mg. I also threw a humidifier in front of the fan that blows on my girls (hopefully girls). You're reminding me that I need to fill her up again.

But, how do I make sure they are USING the water?

[stinkyattic]

They should not sit there all sopping wet. Just pick up the pot and check that it is getting noticeably lighter as you get further past the date you last watered.

hydro, DWC.

Oh. I am officially clueless... or blind. Haha. Sorry.

It will be tiny amounts of water....If they aren't getting any then they will let you know for sure, severe droop etc....later on they drink tons.

I think veg hits when you start to get alternating nodes on the plant, that's when it officially hits puberty.

When I take my plants out of my cloner and put them into my system, I give them 1/4 strength nutes, and they are officially vegging.

They've taken off. Think this week they are ready for bloom. I will post a pic.
