Mephisto Genetics 2 Deep Dlue C, 2 Sour cracks( title changed first grow)

I think I'm just going to let them be and see how it rides out. If it gets worse I'll drain SC#2 unless I'm being fulish and should really drain her. dang internet plays tricks on your mind. (Root rot, over watering, to much N... Blah blah blah). With the others being okay I'm just thinking it could be stress but I don't know enough to even consider my guess valid. Haha I think I'll have better luck not touching them and I will not water again today.
I run my lights on 24/0 during the winter and am still having a slow start due to reducing temps...
Ah man must be really cold. I was wondering what lighting schedule to use but I just went with 18/6. Seemed pretty standard. I read about better root growth if you have a dark period but not sure if that's true for autos or in any case.
Well today things don't look any better. I'm starting to think its a PH, to big of bucket or to much nutrients. I flushed them all with just ph'd RO water. Will see what happens. I saw that my DBC was starting to get a slight droop. SC#1 still looks pretty good. Will just see what happens over the next few days. Reason I flushed is because my runoff PH is 7.5. I flushed my perlite and vermiculite before hand and then reflushed it with ph'd water. I've read others have high runoff PH as well and others don't. I read it can be from water evaporation and nuts don't? I knew it wasn't going to be easy so I shouldn't be so hard on myself but I'm feeling bummed out. Hopefully the girls perk up so stop stressing. Lol
I'll keep you guys informed on the progress. Hope I can give you some good news in the future. Tomorrow will be day 14 from sprout.
My runoff of my flush was still 7.5 so not sure what's going on. Going in at 5.5. I'm just going to keep going with it. If I kill them I'll have to change things up. I'm still getting new growth. Dug down into roots and they are white and seem healthy.

Dude you sound like me on me first grow. Always fretting about something. Seemed like I was in a constant crisis mode. First it was a germination problem - took 7 beans to get 2 plants 17 days apart. It took me until the older plants was 45 days before I kind of figured out the feed/watering, getting the pH and lighting right. Constantly worrying about rH, temps and why they weren't growing. They were about 7" & 6" at this point. Then I got something right and they took off. Then it became a constant battle to keep them out of the lights. Lots of kinked branches doing LST and the grow seemed to go on forever - 110 days from the first sprout. Plants ended up being 39" & 44" with a combined dry yield of 4.75oz. Good buzz but the taste is not so much. Crappy cure. Bottom line is you're going to make mistakes - we all did/do. The key is to learn from your mistakes so you can make different mistakes on the next grow. lolol
I'm gonna pull up a chair for the ride if ya don't mind. Don't think i'll be much help as I know zip point nada about soilless growing. But I'll send some moral support, comic relief, and some good grow karma your way. Besides I see @Spanglish a few of the old salts are popping in occasionally so your in good hands. So take a bit of this
and some of this too

Thanks Duckster, yeah I know I'm going to make mistakes and I just have to sit back and relax... Learn and be patient. In time I'll be rewarded. I have somehow gotten over 100% germination (with me getting a twin). Lol I know constant worry thing.. I check on them consistently. Finally had to tell myself I can only look a few times a day now. Lol
As far as soiless I have no experience until now. Just seemed simple and I read a lot on it. If I cannot get it figured out I'll have to switch to soil and mimick somebodies schedule. I'm also trying a soiless mini bell peppers. Thought it would give me some more experience.. Hopefully some veggies toneat as well.
Your more than welcome to pull up a chair. Can't promise it will be pretty. My SC#2 is still droopy but somehow still alive. The others seem to be doing okay. Will update with some pictures this weekend. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Hey guys I'm going to do quick update on all my girls. First is the mutant twin DBC that survived day 16. One thing I notice is the Stem is beginning to thicken up and straighten out. I also notice that on one of the second leaves she has three fan leaves but on the other side though only one fan leaf? Hope that makes sense. I'm starting to see new growth inside. Guessing this is where branching will come from. Obviously she has some weird wilty droopiness to her but this is as bad as it gets. Pictures are still with phone did the best i could. Sorry for the double pic. Pictures make her look worse than she really is.
I'm also going to throw the little DBC about a week behind on here. She is doing good. She just started 3rd set of leaves. First two leaves didn't evlove into three fan fingers but the third set is.... May sill? Found it interesting even though it may be to you non-newbies. Lol I still see roots coming out the top of the jiffy here and there... I just try and cover them. Thinking about putting another layer of jiffy on top. If the roots see light will they die? Roots look real white and fuzzy when I do see them. Will do SC#1 and 2 in another post. Hope you enjoy this.

I'm guessing pretty soon I'll see sex if I haven't already. Honestly didn't think to look until I looked in these pictures but can't see pistals yet. I don't have trained eye yet though. Will have to check with lights on tonight. I can smell the Sour cracks now if I get down close. Love it.
So here is my prize possession right now SC#1 day 14-16. (The SC's came up a day or two after the DBC mutant) She is the healthiest and biggest. She looks really good to me. Leaves have a slight droop or wilt but honestly she is usually really perky. Specially at lights on. All these pictures were about 16 hours in to lights on. I run 18/6. Has a nice thick stem and growth. Glad SC#1 is doing good because I'm ashamed of SC#2.
Next is SC#2 day 15 or 16 she is really droopy but somehow alive. She has a skinny stem. Little lean but stem is strong and stiff still. Leaves are droopy as all hell. Did nothing different with this girl. I flushed her thinking it could be PH. She is still developing even in this state of sadness. Lol just going to let her go and hope for the best. Maybe she will grow out of it. One thing I find interesting is the SC#1 I couldn't take off the wrap on the jiffy because of the tap root. It's doing great. SC#2 I was able to unwrap but yet its doing worse. Anyway drum roll for miss droopy!... She developed spotting on first leaves only I believe because of my stupidity to spray with lights on when she was a baby.

Nothing new to really update today. Everything is about the same just minor growth. I have a couple 5 fan leaves now. I'm still waiting for the stretch! @Duckster I need to start bitching!!! LMAO.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas. I won't be dry just went on a mmj run. Yeah I had to pay... $10 gram I got a quarter of birthday cake and an eighth of nirvana raspberry cough at local wellness club. Time to stimulate the appitite.. I hope to gain a few pounds this holiday season. Wasn't going to throw this out there but reason I started to partake in this wonderful medicine is because of GI issues. Use to be totally against it until I had my medical issues and it was the only thing that helped. I had friends that smoked for years and they knew never to ask me but the time came when even I was desperate. F prescriptions. Went from athletic build 200ish to 130 at one point. Now I stay steady at 145ish. I think I may be on the upswing of things but we will see..MJ totally gets rid of my nausea and really helps with pain, appitite, and calming night sweats. Along with many other benefits. I usually just smoke flower. Tried edibles with no success a few times may just be me. Concentrates only once or twice. Plan on maybe doing some cold water extraction for some bubble hash. Thought maybe if i said something people could recommend strains they have tried that they think may be good for GI issues. Honestly I think most strains help so that may be a dumb question. I think I may stick with.Mephisto beans for awhile. Have Hubbabubbasmelloscope and SODK x Alien to still try. Will be ordering more from Mephisto Genetics soon. It's to hard to decide on which strains as I'm sure you'll have the same issue.
Oh and I just found out I'm going out of town when the girls would be at week 10. So I hope somehow I have an early harvest. I'll make it work. Will be gone for 3 days in February. Grrrr I wanted to start others but will wait until I have a full harvest. Wil be going to CO for the wifes bday to visit family. Anyway that's my rant today folks. Your welcome to chime in about anything. Don't be shy.

They are not looking to bad pal a little on the small side but healthy enough, i killed my first auto seedling within 3 days so you already beat my first attempt, SC#1 looks fine as does the baby DBC the others a lil droopy mainly SC#2 the other DBC looks to be growing out of it.
Don't have a clue about hempy buckets grows though bro so not really sure what the cause could be, to me SC#2 looks like over watering as do the bigger fan leaves on bigger DBC, but don't know enough about the grow medium to be sure.
@Waira @oldster @Renaissance Redneck any of you guys know about hempy bucket grows or got any advice on this ?
