Kind of an update. I've been having to water it more than usual. About twice a day. The soil just gets dry so fast My moisture meter always reads about a 2 out of 10. After watering it will spike to about 7 out of 10 with only about 30-50mL of run off.
I also ordered a digital PH meter that will be arriving tomorrow. I feel that using a bottle to compare color is just too inaccurate for me.
Is the amount of growth in the picture accurate for as old as she is? I potted the seed on July 8th and it popped her head out on the 10th. This picture was taken just a few moments ago (July 12th). I see some grows that show a 7 day old with leafs that look like it would be able to fly LOL. I guess its still a little early, but I just want her to be on the right track since its my only plant.
yea ur good its only been 4 days. some are faster and bigger then others and some arent. i had a chem d seed that took 3 weeks to pop out of ground only to die the next few days after.
Nice grow man, looks like you have all the tools for the job! I'm running a similar wattage systme atm in my journal, also new to this so been having a few problems but for the last week its been going great! Just when you see a problem is starting, sort it out, ohterwise it will cost you your plant..had to do an emergency transplant because of lack of space, crap soil, all those things! 4 days is still really early! Mine started growing fast and all of a sudden basicly stunted. Only started to go again a week or 2 ago, but goodluck, will follow this, hope you make it from baby to smoke!
Everytime I water, everything seems to "float" upward. Even the seedling seems like its just going to float right out and top over. After the water drains I usually have to pack it back down in to the soil to ensure it stays upright.
I bought some H&G Roots Excelurator that will be coming in tomorrow because this is ridic. These roots need to grow!
I received my digital pH meter and after a small calibration it looks like my filtered water is actually around 7.8pH. The filtered water always showed about a 7 on the color test with the General Hydroponic solution stuff and I never really added any pH down.
Maybe a true 6.5pH will help my baby grow quicker.
looking excellent so far, mag. i like your setup and also just choosing to go with one little baby to start. what is your light cycle right now? if you have it on 24 hour light (some growers like to start their plant this way) that can make it hard for the roots to fully develop. If that's the case i might try going to 4 or 6 hours of dark a night, although if that root excelurator is working i'd stick with giving it really tiny amounts of that. good luck
