New Grower It's about time..Dutch Passion and ChilLED grow light

I give water to my girls every day from day 5. It can, or it sure depends and what kind of coco you have but the brand i have is perfect, you really need to try hard to overwater it. I dont say your your coco can handle it, but if watering every 3 to 5 day, how about trying to give little water every day?
Did you presoak your coco before adding the girl? I do, so i dont have to water the first 3-4 days as the seedlinga are so small. I just have 1 successful grow with coco so dont take my advices to 100% correct.
I have been using the Hansbricks method to grow in autopots. It has been somewhat effective for me. It wants you to water every 5 days. The idea is to get them wet and then dry out a bit. This is to encourage the roots to go down seeking the water. The 2.2 gal dried out in 3-4 days so I had to add water. The 3.9 never dried out very much at all.I am using Roots Organics 5KG compressed Coco. I did pre soak but I was a bit ripped and lost count on ML and which pots I added or did not add cal/mag and Voodoo Juice to. It was not my best foot forward on this task.
 
It is so beautiful where you live, I love it... bagpipes in a mountain setting, what could be better! :headbang:

Don't stress about your girls, Nosias, they will do what they can when they are ready, all you can do is your best! I know you are learning lots because I am going through the same journey and I too am learning more than I imagined I would! I thought I was home free with four big strong girls, but I still had problems and I am now down to just three in the tent! I hope they can hold on for just a few more weeks but, but I know I will learn lots for my next grow no matter what happens. I figure it will take a year or so to really dial it in to where I have any confidence, lol.

So here is some rep for you, for all you have shared already!

:slap:

Thanks for the rep. Also thanks to you and all of the others that are pulling for me. I know all want to see a happy ending.
 
guys, i very rarely get time to read a full journal on here but im not leaving till its done. och a love readin grows from the start. ive only caught the first and last few pages.....
. :slap: says it stretches and falls over lol
Thanks for taking your valuable to to read it all the way. Good friends are always welcomed.
 
fell asleep after the nightshift but finished now : ) thats some beast of a light you there mate. its given me a bit of a semi : ) have you got a feeding schedule or anything your going by. im not familiar with those nutes but your measurements look a little odd to me. defo need to up the N though. Lst is the way forward aswell. if you dont even out the canopy, you can only have the light as close as your tallest bud so the rest all loses out. ok if youve got hps but leds dont work like that. the penetration isnt as good even on the better ones. i know loads of folk insist on the xmas tree shape, and it is very satisfying to look at but if you let one grow au natrel and bondage the shit out of another youll see the difference. i have learned by my own fuck ups not to do this to small indicas though. shes still not speaking to me lol. have you got perylite in that coco? really helps with drainage and oxygen supply : )
 
I would not worry to much about the growth stunt. They can still grow and get healthier. Following pics are 4 HBSS at 31 days. They are going thru hell being my first grow and still surviving. I had one stunt real bad. barely 8 inch's tall, should be much bigger if you are not familiar with the strain.
You will notice I have 6 autocobs in the tent so I can move lights individually, which is great for uneven growth.
Please excuse my messy tent

So even the ones that stunt and go thru hell can continue to grow
