girls are looking good buddy! they look a tad droopy, did you just water them? Be very careful with those little babies, overwatering is soooo easy to do when theyre so young. Trust me, i felt like i was doing nothing for quite a while, because of no interaction with my girls, i had to literally FORCE myself to just leave them alone..hahaha. anyhow, just wanted to drop in and check up on the update! take care aptmixx!

just read through your thread mate! good job:thumbs: i think grobe, is on to something at this stage i feed with a tablespoon 1 or two per plant right at the base. one other thing if you dont have any microbial heard it might be a good idea to get some. i would like to subb on your thread if you dont mind?

 

[growbewan]

yes astronomy, actually i got the whole tablespoon idea from u..haha. I actually just do a couple squirts out of my squirt bottle, but its pretty much the same thing.

Thanks for the insight guys. I water them about once a week, usually I do the whole finger in the soil trick to see how things are doing. With the nutes this week I mixed 1/2 teaspoon of Grow Big into a gallon of water. I then gave the AKR 24 ounces of that water, the La Diva got 12 ounces of the nute fed water & 12 ounces of straight water. I had read about the La Diva being sensitive to nutes, so figured I would start slow with her. But over all I dont think Im drowning them. Ill lay off for a minute to see how they perk up.

its all good bro~ski, if your not overwatering them, then your not, i just thought it was a possibility from the pics..how big are your pots? if theyre over 2 gallons, and you watered all your soil prior to putting your seed in, then that shouldve lasted you this far (2 weeks) at least. aside from an occasional misting.

mix look at a 24 0z container next to that little plant, after you activate your soil before you transplant, the small plant is taking up about 3 square
inches, has a tap root heading for the bottom of the pot, so the only water that will get to the roots are right there in that 3 square inch space. so watering the whole pot is gonna keep it to wet! later when the plant has established itself put the boots to them girls.:howdy: more.

Grow-The AKR is in a 2.5 gallon airpot. The La Diva in a 2 gallon regular pot I scooped up from the local nursery. Things are looking good. They both have shown big growth so far this week with the nutes added into the mix. Lots of new leaves, pics to come soon!

 

[growbewan]

la diva

HHey there i came across your thread i just started growing a la diva also my first grow she is 23 days old i feel like she might be small but not sure?she also started budding on day 20 is this normal?maybe we can compare pictures?

The girls are about 3 weeks in soil and are doing great! LOTS of growth this week, I think that dose of Grow Big last week helped that along. This week I replaced the two 23 watt CFL's with 45 watt CFL's. So now both girls have 2 45 watt CFL's beaming down on them. I raised the lights on the La Diva, since she is still outgrowing the AKR. The La Diva also showed her sex this week, Im sure you'll be able to see that in the pics.

AKR day 21:


La Diva day 20:


Gave the AKR 24 oz. of Grow Big water today. The La Diva got 12 oz. of Grow Big water since her soil still had a little moisture left in it. Very excited to see what happens this week as we transition into vegging mode. As always thoughts, or comments always welcome.
