Enjoy!

All pics were taken on the 8th of Feb. Plants are 26 days old from seed. 18 days since the tiny seedlings were moved in the pots. Latest feedback has it that they have grown 5-6cm since then all varying around 20-23cm!!! Will be coming back with more pics during the weekend so stay tuned! :thumbsup: Also did FIM on a couple just to try it out and see the end results and start getting the hang of it. Didn't seem to stop them much though height wise lol. On the contrary Hera that was FIMed is still the faster grower height wise. She got 6cm since FIMing in 2 days...



Hera, not the most dense of em all but the tallest for sure. She was the first to receive FIMing. At least they definitely start to look more like sativas now so I'm kinda relieved! :jointsmile:



FIM closeup. looks like we overdid it a little. Should have left more probably. Oh well we'll see how it goes. We only did it on 3 out of the 9 to try it out. (are those pre-flowers I see there on the nodes bellow? I wasn't there to see for myself so hard for a noob to judge from the photo )



As I said, are those pre-flowers or just new growth coming out of the nodes?



Electra is one of the most dense and thick ones. Do the leaf tips look a little curled down here what do you think? Overall the plants have been wet for a while so the soil was left 6 days without watering before it dried out enough. (around 10cm inside) This pic is prior to watering. bro didn't stick around to see reaction post watering....



Here they are all of them, they do seem a little droopy don't they? I don't know if it's from under-watering or heat (cause the temps rose 10 degrees Celsius in a day suddenly here, it's summer again!) Will check em out in the next pics on Saturday and we'll see. What do you think though? Hope he doesn't kill my babies or I'll shoot him! :gunfighter2:


Also since as things are now we are watering once a week, should we be feeding every watering (weekly) or still alternate one yes and one no? They've gotten 2 feelings in a row now and so far they seem to be ok with it. Maybe a pH problem with the water I mentioned in previous posts? Isn't it a little early to have built up already? We are adjusting it now but so far they were watered since birth with a water of pH around 7,5 at least...

Thank you all and stay tuned. More pics and updates to come on Sat!

Peace,
:hippy:

:sorry1:I hate to :bump2: my own thread but I'm a little worried. Leaves look more alive now after the watering and are not droopy anymore but the margins/tips on some are still slightly curved down. (or at least so they tell me, I'm away remember? will have to wait for new pics tomorrow and will post em asap)
My bro did regulate the water pH down to around 6.5 last watering cause it was over 7.5... should have gotten a pH meter earlier I know but the one and only local grow shop near me was out of stock so I had to order some online and took a while to get it... should I have him test the runoffs too? and if so how exactly is this done? do you have to clean the water of any soil remains and let it sit for a while or I just throw it in the little tube and test it...? (I have one of those kits that you mix it with some other liquid in a tube and it takes up a colour...)
Sorry for being a pain but you already know how I am by now with it being first grow and all... and being away and having someone else take care of my babies makes it even worse

Peace,
:hippy:
