First time grower

[GrinKyle]

So, quick update, I fliped over one of my younger plants (Only 11Days old) and I saw a ROOT coming out of the bottom of the cup through one of the little holes I made. Do I have to transplant these guys already?

Question: Are they growing at a decent speed? Are they looking some what normal? They were pretty close to the light for a while, and I pulled them back down cause I think I caused some light(heat) burn on the first set of leaves of the bigger plant.

Question: Do the first leaves that pop out of the seed, the none cannabis looking leaves normally die and fall off? Cause mine are dead/dying, as you can see in the pick.

If ya'll can shed some light on what I could be doing to improve these suckers, I'm all ears. Thanks.

I'd say they are growing rather well, your doing a pretty good job I would say for your first time! IMO keep your lights 2-3 in. from tops at all time to get max efficiency from your light.....Also I would have at LEAST 3 lights for each female that you get. Also, yes, they will eventually die and they are called the cotelydons leaves for your insight :thumbsup:

If you take a look at my log you can see how mine looked around your same age....Look pretty similar! Besides that keep up the good work!

Sounds good. Ty

Should I add a few 2700k 20watts in there? I have the lights already

More lights is always better, just be sure to watch the temps and also 6500K lights would be better to use specially if your space limited....But yes you can put them in there, more is better :thumbsup: Also you should think about LSTing them! You will be able to cover more space without the height issues. I didn't LST mine but my next batch I def. will be doing it! You should take a look into it if ya got the chance!

You're doin' better than I did my first grow GRIN...I knocked my cups over and put two Strawberry Coughs on the floor,lol...Nice start man...I'm liking the lush color on those plants...Keep it up bro...

Thank you all for the support and kind words.

DTRave, I transplanted them into bigger pots, and I did your method that I saw in your grow log. I think you called it Soil Cake or something. It does seem it would give the roots more room to grow.

Shibby, I was thinking about lst'ing, but I also want to keep these all in veg. for a very long time. I have 60 acres of property to work with in the summer, and I plan on making ALOT of clones throughout the whole growing season to maximize my yield and self sufficiency.

Italiano, I am going to add 2 more 5600k lights. I am thinking of building a new cab for veg/flower, and that will be my cloning cab.

I need a little help with my nutes. I have all 3 fox farms nutes and on the back it has normal and heavy feeding.

Does anyone else use Grow Big? What is your water/nute ratio? What is your watering schedule like?

Other than that, thanks for checking it out guys.

Hey Grin, looking pretty good so far:thumbsup:

I think they could be growing a little more faster (of course there is always room for improvement...) Maybe try adding a couple more 42w lights and get those bulbs a couple inches from the plants (as long as you don't burn them), but higher temps are better for veg as long as its less than 85F.

Just my:twocents:, keep up the good work

Little update.

Its kind of funny. I look (but don't touch) at them a lot through out the day/weeks. I question myself if they are even growing. Then I look at 5 days ago post, and today's, and then I realize that is a dumb question.

I transplanted them all 4 days ago into random size pots I had laying around.

I tried what DTrave420 does, and leave a cake like layering of the soil. Its all gone down quite a bit, since I think I add a little 2 much perlite, and don't compact the soil at all.

There isn't a smell yet, but If I run my finger across a leaf, its a very hearty plant smell, like strong, and I can't really give you any better of a smell similar.

I fed them 3 days ago with "Heavy Feeding" that the back of the Fox Farms Grow Big said (1 1/2 tsp - Half Gal)... and have been watering them with normal PH water of 6.5 in between.

Question: What week do we start to see female pre-flowers?

Question: Since these seeds came from outdoor cannabis bud. Does that mean they aren't feminized? Since the plant didn't have to be a hermie to do so?

Question: When are they old enough to start cloning?

Thanks to you guys helping me out.
