New Beginnings for Massachussetts and I

That's the top shelf ... There's a 2w x 4l x 4h early veg area under it
and it's on rollers !!!

Yikes, I dream mine will get like that

I decided to throw the ladies into 12/12 now. I just want to experience flower sooner and mess around. Timer set for 5am on...(of course so I can peek at them all day!) and 5pm off. Lets see
how this goes. Anyone else doing 12/12 "from seed"? Sybil my easykush has 2 weeks veg under her belt, but Hazel my white widow will break the soil under 12/12.

How come? You are getting impatient I think here. And I don't want to overstep seeing some of us noobz tend to speak out of tongue sometimes but. I would be letting them mature and veg for a while Hun. Like atleast a month of real vegging possibly two months. Pull some clones off them. And keep it rolling. You putting them in 12-12 right off bat that early isn't the best idea either. Light helps them grow and get bigger and produces more nodes and places for budding to grow and flower. That's why some run 20-24 first couple weeks to really get them started. Then dial it down to 18-6 for a proper veg. Then usually after 30-60 days in veg they put them in flower under a 12-12 regiment to trick the plant into thinking winters coming hence harvest 68-80 days later you get bud. Your plants are very small atleast from what I can remember. I just don't understand where this is coming from???

Ok, here is my team. About 10 days into full veg. The nodes are nice and tight; they are up to 6-7 nodes. Oh, and that girl on the lower left is my special needs child. She was born normal, but lost one of her arms to a tragic incident in the hospital, so she is showing a minor mutation. I'm just letting her grow to see how she grows. If she herm's, well, we will see.

I mentioned I started giving Nutes the other day. I've watered them twice and used 1tsp per gallon. My plants are still in smaller pots so I don't water them every day typically every other day 4 Dixie style solo cups. (Small ones) do I use Nutes everytime I water?

Also is some of my leaves looking like this due to Nutes and cal mag? Idk if I'm typical panicking over nothing. I've looked at them through magnify glass and I'm not seeing any bugs or anything.

So that is like a 6 oz cup? It's a lot of plant for a small cup, no? Any reason you haven't xplanted yet?

Just curious. I'm on a fwwwf cycle, where the watering's get a small amt of cal mag and supplements. I'll let the experts comment on the plant condition. I certainly don't want to bring down the wrath of the anti-flush gods.

@greg nr so I haven't yet because I want to have the roots max out the space and then jump them up. I've thought about doing it sooner than later cuz I think it is going to that time.

I also check the moisture gauge everyday to see how the plants are if they need water or are allset. Buddy of mine swears by that stick checking his plants. Biggest newbie mistake is over watering. I don't want to be that guy.

You can tap the plant out of the cup and see how much the roots are circling. It won't hurt the plant if you pop it back into the cup.

I hear ya. That is one in the pic I posted above. Those are 5 gallon pots and even though they can be heavy, there may be dry spots under the plant I need to address. Salt farmers. Meh.

@ MrSeeDoubleU
Moisture sticks are fine, but once you get to know what a freshly watered small pot weighs, .... do you use a stick on the milk container?

Anyone else have issues with the Accurite temp/humidity gauges? I ordered a pair and sitting next to each other they're at least 2 degrees and 5% humidity off. Amazon is sending another pair but I'm thinking I may get 4 different readings instead of 2 .... and then there's the issue of which one is correct !!!

What kind of nutes are you using?

I'm just talking as an old chemical engineer, but don't sweat the absolutes. Use them for relative values and average where you need to. They are digital gauges but this is an analog environment. The difference between 42 and 45% humidity just doesn't matter.

Sometime 8:22:33 pm is not as good as around 8:30.

The hydroponics box Nutes. Cheapo and same shit cal mag. I really haven't heard awful things about them. But I know they're not as good as 150$ Nutes. Which I'm just not set up to spend that kind of money on Nutes. Same with a good oh meter all that shit cobs. Lol. You name it. It will all get upgraded by next year.

UPDATE****

Freshly watered transplanted and MYKOS added in with the soil.
3 plants down 3 more to go.

I just started using some of the nectar for the gods products and I'm shocked by how healthy my plants have been this round. I am by no means a veteran grower lol but I quite a few under my belt. I was using the techna flora recipe for success and that worked well and wasn't to hard on the wallet.

From what I could tell the plants had some healthy roots and fungus build up from the mykos. Which from what I'm told and read is a very good thing. When I get more soil I'll be buying a bigger bag of mykos rather than the single packets. Want to mix in the right amount with an entire bag rather than dumping as I go in the plants pot

I've had issues with them I'd say just average them out.. lol .. think the best thermometers are the kind that have the remote sensor

The mykos is best used when the roots are directly in contact with it... imo.. that's how I use it..

So do you mean applying the mumps during transplanting? Sorry if that a stupid question haha.
