Dude! I know I know...maybe after I run H&G. LOL..I'm hard headed..


So I checked on the babies today and they are looking better! Not that the purpling of two of them isn't bad, and they are stunted from it, but I think they will recover. The others all are sprouting out their second and third sets of leaves now. New growth this morning and its looking like they're moving along nicely again. I will be posting pics tomorrow, sorry I've been lazy!

I'm thinking the foliar fed Grow Big, the Myco Inoculation, and the change in lighting from 24/0 to 18/6 has had a positive effect already! They looked better today than yesterday and new growth was all around..I can't wait to see how they respond over the next week or so. No more under-feeding, and no more purpling! Hell, at least I learned another lesson. I'm all about getting "taught a valuable lesson" lol....mother nature has taught me quite a few lately.

November 3, 2010:

Today is Day 11 of Veg. They have been slowed down by my own lack of experience. I didn't want to burn them so I underfed (not on purpose) and a couple of them "purpled" up, meaning the stems and on a few of them and the new growth leaves on one of them were purpled indicating a Phosphorous (P) deficiency. Also they had been overwatered a tad. I let them dry out the last 2 days. Today the top of the soil was dry...so it was time to water...due to the fact that I had underfed them and that they now have a slight Phos def, I felt I should feed again, then I'll just use plain RO water with Cal-Mag and Silicate for the rest of the week as this will be the 2nd feeding this week.

Gave them a few good soil squirts of this feed solution:

FEEDING:

2L RO Water
6.5pH / 850 ppm

1/8 tsp Grow Big
1 Tbsp Big Bloom
1/2 tsp Cal-Mag+
1/2 tsp Silicate
1 tsp Root 66

Temps have been around 75F with humidity around 55-65%. I used my laser temp shooter today to check the temps on the leaves of the seedlings. All were around 76F. I'll use this info to help utilize the proper Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) for my babies. Despite me fucking it up, they seem to have new growth all around except for LSD #2, the worst one..the heavily purpled stemmed, new purpled leaves runt seedling (see below).

Here are the pics!! Please comment!! WTF is up with them still being droopy-leaved? I thought it was from overwatering, but they haven't bounced back to stand their leaves up again since all this happened, despite the soil drying out and various other changes..any ideas or clues??

COMMENTS WELCOME!

the leaves are just stressed a little. they may bounce back, they may never. I wouldn't stress over it, just keep feeding them and they will be fine.

Definitely!! I will not be making the same mistake twice (god I hope not at least..) I'll feed em plenty! This is really my own fault because my last grow (the real first one with the experiment plant as I called it) was in Fox Farms Ocean Forest which is a much hotter soil so I didn't have to mess with feeding for about 3 weeks. This time I germinated in pure light warrior so its obviously quite different. Supposed to feed in the first 5 days of sprouting with Light Warrior. I waited too long! Ah well, another lesson learned.

Thanks for the comments legallyflying!

your crop is about a day or two ahead of my first sprouter. im deff subin and reading this in the morn. peace

You seedling look like they are really streaching for light, These pics were my LSD at about 10 days after they sprouted. I would get them into thier big pots as soon as you can, they grow roots very fast and you dont want to stunt them by leaving them in the small cups to long. I would also get the light as close as you can, without burning them.......dont want them steaching for light at this stage. I did use Fox farms Ocean Forest soil from seedling.....so that might be why mine went crazy the first few weeks. I am now 3 weeks into flowering anf they are looking frosty.

Photo update please.. They should have exploded by now

Patiently waiting over here.

hope all is well Xive! been wanting to see LSD in action so i thought id drop in! cheers

I think he said that his computer crashed and it was going to be a week or so until he got a new one.

My new pc arrives next week. On my phone at the moment posting this. Ill update when its set up. Prolly like a weeks from now maybe less

He lives!! LOL.

What kind of computer did you get? I recently got a studio XPS from dell with a quad core processor and a solid state hard drive and 8gigs of ram. Its a fucking beast!

30% reduction in masturbation times!! LMFAO

DAY 29 OF VEG (Monday 11/22/10):

The plants have EXPLODED!! LegallyFlying you were right bro! Also I noticed a couple teeny tiny white pistil hairs emerging from the internodes of LSD #1 and #7. So hurray for females! You can't see it from the pics but I'll post pics when they get a big bigger and the hairs are more visible. In the last week I was out of town, but right before I left I transplanted the babies from their solo cups into the 3 gallon smart pots (new improved handled version)!

I left and was curious to see how'd they react and what they would look like when I returned....well I can say I am stoked at their growth over the last week! They are definitely in vegetative growth now, and no longer in the seedling stage. They are looking pretty damn nice. Not perfect, but for me, I'm proud of them.

So just got back from out of town, and came home to the new PC on my door! Set it up today and posted some pics from this morning. A friend tended the garden while I was away and I noticed a few spots that look like nute burn and the babies did look a bit overwatered. I also see some light spots on a couple of them that look like heat stress. I am considering topping them. What do you think? Most of them have 4-5 nodes, some even have 6 at the moment. Considering FIMM'ing them at the 3rd or 4th node. What do you all think? If you think I should do it, I'd like to do it very soon, next day or two. They are getting big and its definitely time to top if I'm gonna top. What you think?? Comments and feedback welcome! Thanks for your support, I look forward to seeing what you all think..

Room View and Group View Pics:




Top View Left & Right side:


LSD #1 and #2, see the spots on LSD #1 leaves (is that nute burn?)


LSD # 8 and #9 (see the spots on both and the CURL on #8 -- pH problem??? Overwatering?)


See the Spots on LSD #9?


LSD #5, #6, and #7 (lookin' good!):


The lone Jock Horror plant (looking fabulous, IMHO the best looking one of my grow):


The Runt! LSD #3 looking shitty..this plant has looked craptacular since the beginning. I'm about a day or two away from just pitching it and moving on. What do you think?




COMMENTS WELCOME!! THANKS EVERYONE!

I deeply appreciate your feedback. Sorry for my absence, I was without computer. Now running 24/7 on improved hardware!

those spots and such are deff some nute burn. ease off a tad.

did you number them 1= oldest? if so how old is LSD #1?

Nice. #8 & #9 are my favorites. Looking forward to following this.

Wally, I planted them all at the same time, they are all 29 days old since being dropped into soil. As for the numbering, it was merely the order they were in on the stack of boxes underneath my flouro panel while I was putting the labels on them.

I agree it looks like nute burn...damn! They were fed last Monday, last Wednesday, and given plain water last Friday when I was gone. They still looked wet this morning, and I haven't watered since I've gotten back. I'll cut their feed solution down for next feeding later this week.
