Beginner Hempy – Strawberry Haze/White Rhino/Bagseed

Why do your plants look droopy to me?

Wish I knew for certain, bagseeds been droopin since transplant. Think they all are working on getting roots to their res right now.

How often are you watering?

Watering most days, 5-6 days a week so far. I'm down to 5-6 ML into the rockwool cube to keep it moist, then avoid watering the cube with the rest/majority of the feeding. Temps and Humidity in the 60's.

Rockwool seems to hold moisture. My concern with using it is that it retains so much moisture right at the base of the plant. I'm trying to water around the plant without getting the rockwool very wet. My silly logic is that the roots will not search for water when it's right at the base of the plant.

I don't know if that makes sense and don't have any proof of whether it works or not.

Just an idea...

They are nice and green. Cheers!

Bagseed3 had trouble early-on with dried cube. That one started wilting after it got a couple of leaves, and I was not watering the RW then. Keeping it moist perked it back up again, and I have been giving the cubes a little water daily since. Perhaps overcompensation, but this is her after perking back up then, 2 weeks ago.



The t5 is also now at 2-3 inches from the plant tops, and more perlilte has been added in attempt to reduce/stop algae.

Despite making a couple of changes, droop and slowness continue to be problematic. New growth continues to come slowly on top of the bagseeds, while the bottoms struggle. Very little change to SH or WR.

Seeing a bit of yellowing now, presumably from light height adjustment. Moving the T5 down to 2-3" seemed to be too close, the fixture is now moved to about 4" above the canopy. Also cut back on feeding frequency, but this has not, thus far, seemed to make much difference with droop. Will continue feeding on every other day schedule for now. Also wondering if there may be some N deficiency. Bagseed 1 & 3 starting to be questionable to continue at this point, while #2 may be showing signs of pre-flower (?)

Finally, picked up a bag of coco (Noir + Peat mix) for another new media experiment. May germ another seed (Lemon Skunk?) this weekend, and put it straight into a coco/perlite mix (no starter cup/no rockwool).

Comments and Suggestions always welcome..

The second picture looks nice and strong! I wish I could help with the droops.

I completely bury the rockwool in my mix. no idea if that makes a difference. If I get overzealous when watering, the perlite/vermiculite pulls off the top of the rockwool and I can see roots on the top of the cubes. I quickly cover them back up.

Good luck!

Bagseed 1 is coming around, finally perking up again. #2 is looking more like a plant than a seedling each day. These two are starting to get increased amounts of the primary 'Grow' nute. The rest of the plants continue to be slow.

Experimenting, I set up 1 coco bucket. There is 20-25% perlite on the bottom for the res, and the rest is BioBizz Coco mix. Nutes will stay the same. Bean was germed in about 24 hours, and planted directly into the coco in a 5G homer bucket. Its Greenhouse Seeds Feminized Lemon Skunk, a 50/50 sativa/indica hybrid.

New pics! Lemon Skunk popping cotys.. 2nd set of leaves for SH (finally), WR looking weak.. BS plants continue up, will be LST/FIM time soon for #2..

hey guys,
dont mean to go off topic but this in one of the few hempy threads i could find open. having a little trouble was wondering if anyone with some experience with this type of grow could help out. i just started my plants too they have gotten huge but i think ones having probs ( notice the discolored stems and burnt bottom leaves and its not moving up the plant.......yet hopefully). i use pearlite/verm mix/ 24 hr light (one 45w led panel and 2 cfl 26w supplemental), good vent, watered every other day day, feed every other day using general hydroponics..right now mixed to aggresive growth. after everything i have read i my only thoughts are over water(purple stems)/ phosphorus or nitrogen. help please

Looking good Pew. I came in @ 4 oz after I was done trimming and drying. I cut anything that wasn't dense and the size of a 50cent piece up and made green dragon and butter. Thanks for following my grow.
