The two on the right have dried up more. I will check with my finger.
This is coco, so don’t want it going dry

Boom boom spray, should I use a smaller dosage with them being so small and not to waste it.
They prob only need a few sprays each. Using 1L and 5ml boom boom would be a waste, as it wouldn’t all be used.

How about 2ml for 500ml water or even 1ml for 250ml water, that would work wouldn’t it?

yeh i do 2 or 2.5ml per 500ml still have a good bit left over but thats just how it goes dot leave it in your spray bottle over night made mine stink and in coco people say you cant over water its up to you my thinking is to try get the roots to search out the water a bit before you open the valves on the res but like i said iv never used autopots just read others journals so take my advice with a pinch of salt ( whatever that means lol )

I appreciate your advice bud....

And I agree with what you are saying.
I am thinking that as i only put 1L of water in each of the 15L pots approx 6 days ago and I am not sure if 1L was enough at the time. It probably is but naturally I want to give them another Litre in case...

I will check to see how dry/moist it is (ooo errrr)
Then maybe if I only put 200ml of water only in each pot and then apply boom boom spray, that may make sure it’s not over done.

Ok, stoner moment alert!!!!...

Few issues currently dealing with

The little ones have been stretching due to how high I had my light (fear of hurting them) and the propogator lids being in place.

I have lowered my light etc, in hope that they get comfy and start growing the leaves rather than reaching.

(This is my fault and not the plants)

I have checked the coco and it is damp further down so refrained from watering them.

I did however make up 2.5ml of boomboom spray with 250ml of water (yes, you read that right)..... that’s my stoned moment, and proceeded to spray them.

The taller seedling then fell over........
I had to carefully excavate surrounded area and could see if it was stretching as it was not strong where it was appearing above the coco. I guess the light and propagator combo has not helped here, as they have been having it easy inside the lid without getting rocked from “wind”

I got the seedling to stay upright and packed the coco somewhat around it..

I then started to try and correct the two issues.

I added some more coco on the top of the pots to allow me to compact the seedlings up to their neck so it is not so lanky.

And I water sprayed them again to wash off the boomboom spray. So let’s see if that combo creates some magic somehow

Third issue I am facing, the temps are hot outside and will be for the rest of the week, getting hotter in to the week. I have been testing the leaves with a laser and they are 25/26 and the room is 29/30/31 at times.
So going off that I am hopeful they will be ok.

Dude I wouldn’t sorry about anything you mentioned, except perhaps the temps!

You are doing super well mate and the babies will be great. Don’t worry about them falling over with boom boom weight when young. Loads of mine do it, I reckon it strengthens them as long as you support them quickly after.

I have used 5ml/L of boom boom from about day 3 by mistake and nowt happened mate [emoji106] as an example of how much I spray on, I usually do about half a litre for 3 plants and give them a few good soakings over 3 or 4 hours which uses most of the 500ml. Wait a few days after spraying to make sure they don’t go super dark and then spray again dude [emoji3]

Can’t remember if there was anything else. Brain is super vulnerable today after raving again [emoji23]

They look great mate. Don’t panic it’s organic as the mad Dutch purveyor of organic fertiliser pucks would say [emoji106]

Day 6 in the man cave (feels more like a sauna )

little update guys,

struggling with the heat in the groom. we are looking at 32C / 89.6F under the lights according to my fan controller

the room temps are gradually getting higher with the weather, which is understandable but the little ladies are showing a little sign of defending itself against the heat

here are my room ambient room temps today and over the past week, you can see the rise

my light is 21" above my plants, i did have it lower as they were stretching. so i am having a think about this, as it is a bit of a trade off. cant have to much heat close to the plants but need the light to stop stretch

the leaf temp of the ladies is as follows, approx 28c - as i took a few readings even though this one says 27c.

room temp with this device

some close up of the little ladies

looking good mate and with the light distance me and a few others around here when growing autos leave the light up high like closer to where it would be when they fully stretch and let the autos grow up to the light works well for alot of strains so i wouldnt worry to much about it being a bit futher away

Thanks, what sort of distances?

i cant tell you what it should be only what i do and with my 600w hps i leave it about 1meter from the soil and let them stretch on up and hope they stop before you hit the top :smoking:
