New Grower Cosmic Queen and DBC x 3BOG

[SuperLymeHaze]

Day 14 for DBCx3BOG

Seeing faster growth now. New growth seems to be healthier. They're getting blown around a little bit but seem to be tolerating it. Turned down the light to 72W from 75W yesterday and 80W the day before. @DMHeights Too curly?

Day 14 Cosmic Queen

Significantly taller than DBC even though it was born half a day later. Stems are looking purple on these guys. Been reading about LST / Topping and wondering if I should try my first go around or if it would be better to learn the ropes without training. This is so fun!

DBC was looking pretty droopy and pots were dry so watered last night 1500ml between the 2 of them with 3ml of fish shit. had about 40ml runoff each. DBC perked up this morning but they are both expressing their concerns this morning. I will have to do my research but I am going to post these in the infirmary. So hard to know for a first timer what's worth getting concerned about, but I'm here to learn either way.

How do we count days? From above ground? If that's the case this is Day 15 for Dx3 and Day 14 for CQ.

I don't think a flush is necessary. You just need to try raising the ph of your water the next time you water your plants. Filtered/RO/Distilled water lacks nutrients that tap water naturally has, including calcium. Your soil has a calcium source in it, so the filtered/non filtered water thing doesn't really matter right now. I'd focus more on the ph of the water you're using. If you have some epsom salt lying around or at a store close by, you could use 1 tsp per gallon of water as a cal/mag foliar spray. That will get the nutes directly to the plant through its leaves.

I sprayed them this morning with epsom salt at 7.2ph. They really perked up 12 hours later. Dx3 was really drooping again before I sprayed. Thanks! Do you think it's okay to use epsom salt again when it's time to water? I was looking into potassium silicate or calcium carbonate for increasing PH.

I'm still messing around with climate control and want to sort out active ventilation after that. I bought a controller for a radiant space heater. It does okay with 2 fans running in the tent. I have a 12W small fan I'd like to wire up to the cooling output on the controller as an exhaust fan as I will need to do something about the smell soon.

CQ with some spots, can't tell yet if it's on the new growth, but check out that set of 4 leaves...
