Hey man. Thanks for stopping by, sorry about your troubles but it's good that some of it is going ok. I plan to have some pics of the girls up after four today when the lights come back on. Good luck man.

Looking good. I think I'll just...

Peeecturesss

Alrighty. Got some pics of the gals folks. Finally. It's been eight or nine days since you've seen them. In pics they look better to me, haha. Let me know what you guys think please sirs and ma'ams. You can see the name and age of each on the bottom right of the pic.

Although these look to be doing better, I know that they can't get that big really, as they've been stunted basically the entire veg time. I have been blueprinting my perpetual stack grow and I think I might as well go ahead and get started on it as soon as I get my fan and money for seeds.

I plan on putting some type of table in my tent (separating my tent into two equal level grow sections) and grow seedlings for the first 3-4 (veg) weeks in the bottom section with a smaller light and then swapping them into the top section to finish up on a bigger light and with more height. That way I can harvest every month or so which would be amazing, we'll see how it goes though.

Doing this sooner will allow me to go ahead and start on my second grow with Durrrty Dragons which I am very excited about. I am high and just randomly thinking about this (as I am always conjuring up grow ideas in my head) and figured that I would share and add in my ideas to my current journal. Thanks for listening folks.

Yes new growth seems to be a lot better then where they were headed. Good news is they didn't die, new growth seems to be healthier and you followed the advice. Bad news is you are right, they are stunted. What I would do from here is let them dry out pretty good before waterings. IF and that's a big IF overwatering is what stunted them there is a chnce they can still grow a bit bigger. Maybe triple, quadruple in size. Sometimes overwatering can stunt them but it also basically suspends them in time. I've seem seedlings be overwater stunted for 2 weeks and be stuck in seedling stage. But once they were fixed they actually still vegged for 3 more weeks and didn't follow the 21 days them start flowering. Basically suspended animation. I don't know if that's the case but it's worth a shot. All in all it's a great learning experience for your first grow and your next will be better by 10 folds. One must make mistakes to learn. We have all been there. Knowledge is power and mistakes make you learn more for future bountys. Keep giving them all the love and attention you can and you never know. You could still end up with some smoke in the end.

Your little plants definitely look better than last time I saw them :thumbs:
Best of luck man!

Thanks stunted and Cap'n for coming by to check out my grow.

It seems like they are suspended in seedling age. They didn't have a whole lot of growth during the week of drying up from the flush 8 days ago, so in the flush sense, yes they were over-watered 3x cup amount. As soon as they started drying out is when most of what growth you have seen happened. They dried out basically all the way so I watered them and all as I posted a few posts back, but I will make sure to let them have good dry/wet phases.

I get my new light tomorrow and I expect them to step it up some because of that. Since they are almost three weeks old but still small and stunted, should I hold off on any nutrient feedings?

Besides Bio Grow and Bloom I also have the Bio Root and Black Diamond supplements which are said to be good if used for all stages of growth, including seedlings, especially the Bio Root which you can actually germinate with. What about these?

It seems like maybe even just micro doses of these two would be greatly beneficial to these babies. SuperThrive is also used for 'reviving' plants. Would this help?

Sorry for the separate questions I split them up to be easier to follow so that maybe someone can help out on as many questions as possible. Much thanks.

Hey Squid! I found you via a google search looking for info about my light.. lol.. small world. anyway, I took my baby girl out of the LED tent today and snapped some pictures in regular lighting. This is what I am currently working with! She went in the ground on the 2nd, would you say I stunted growth at all? Or is this normal for a Nirvana Bubbleicious Auto (femmed) I know I did some things wrong early on such as having the panel far too close for one day. I got my nose up in her grill once I had her pulled out.. and I must say.. I smell some STANKYness

Let me know what you think man!

Also the speckles you may see are NOT on the plant, it's because I sprayed the plant before I snapped these pictures and I had the tent open and that thing throws SOOOO much light in every direction.

Also Squid I wanted to ask you, how close did you have your LED panel? It took me a while to find a good height, but I am thinking the burning I was experiencing was from the light height. I have it now at about 15" and it seems to be doing good. No new burns.. yet. Fingers are crossed

 

[The Squid]

Hey there. Yeah we spoke the other day when I told you about my experience with that light. Seems to be working for you though that's great! haha. I think I was just suffocating my plants with improper ventilation and some ph problems but whatever. Glad it is working for you.

Your plants are looking ok. Looks like there's some slight burning or deficiencies from ph being off. But I believe we covered that in your other post. You should start up a dedicated journal for your grow to have all of your updates and pics for everyone to keep up with. Good luck.

 

[cgman]

Yes I had some burning problems early on but did my best to clip most of that away yesterday. I do have a journal on GC, idk what the relationship between AFN'ers and GC'ers is, plus it would be a lot of work updating two journals.. lol. I can link to the GC one, or I couldddd make one here I suppose lolol

So you don't think I set her back at all?

Thank you for your input!
