Lighting My First Grow - Northern Lights Blue

[Pal23]

Day21 (week 3)

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well. Finally reached the start of the third week for my girls so I've got some photos for you all They've been fed again this morning the same as last time (Just over 1L each mixed with 0.3ml silicon, half teaspoon of Epsom salts and 1ml Grow), I've included the epsom salts again because it doesn't look like they've fully recovered, let me know what you guys think and feel free to throw in pointers/tips as always

These are both the smaller plant on the right:

Bigger plant on the left:

Few group shots, I've started germinating a third NLXBB and a Bluematic from Royal Queen seeds (freebie) in a couple makeshift pots purely for fun/experimenting - the more experience I have the better

All good man, hope you're well. I left it a whole week between feeding as the soil still felt moist/wet until this morning. As I said earlier they've had a soak this morning so it will be a while before I can feed again but will up the measurements ready for next time Just being too cautious again didnt wana nute burn them!

Also, quick question for fellow GN users - is it safe to lower my lights to 18" at this stage? I'm keeping it 24" away right now just not sure how to choose definitive "start of stretch" phase, they've definitely started moving upwards!

Just watch the tips very closely for any burn , the'll be fine mate

Ps, my post above was to watch for nute burn and not to do with the leds Pal , as i use HPS and ment to say when you mix up your nutes you have to use them that day and discard any you dont use as the PM oldtimer nutes is organic and wont keep until the next feed mate

I would keep them were they are for another week or so then drop it to 18" :thumbs: unless you notice rapid growth over a couple of days im talking a few inch then drop it down.. But when you do lower it keep an eye on them for the first 1-2 days to make sure they are ok with it an there is no bleaching shouldn't have a problem but just in case
