These look Great! My 10 day old Candy Kush is so much smaller and just starting on it's 3rd and 4th sets, chalking that up to being in perlite/verm hempy bucket and the fact that the tap has not reached it's goal. At least i hope so.......

Thanks Mojo, different strain and setup. im sure once your roots hit the res they will start to shoot in growth.


So far im happy tho, ill continue to update here too in case anyone spots something ive missed haha.
But looking at them today i think i will start feeding some light nutes next watering.

day 11 sweet tooth starting to stretch a little now that ive moved both plants a little lower.


Day 13 bluematic

Feels a bit like a monologue but im glad to have it all cataloged here.

So yesterday i starting feeding, very light dosage and 24hrs later the girls seem to have responded well.

Day 15 and day 13 respectively



sweet tooth


and bluematic


Everything looks good to me but im the newbie so im open to correction.
Im also trying to pluck up the courage to bend the girls over (LST) is it too early or just the right time ? Feedback welcome.

Peace

Looks super nice. i would not LST yet, let them get a bit thicker and more robust. i just LST'd a bag seed plant i have growing. It's 16 inches tall and pretty well developed stems and that was successful. i think yours might be a bit too fragile still. 1-1.5 more weeks and i bet it would be good to LST.

Start bending it gently a few times a day in the direction you plan to go with it to keep the stalk pliable and prepare it for the training. I would give it another couple of inches and then strap those bitches down!

Cheers for the advice guys, i bought some gardening wire coated in plastic today id say i will start by the weekend.
Little update (i know its just been a day)

But................
Are these pistils i see before me........ why yes they are

I have my small tent all ready to go so one of the girls may have a new home this weekend, only concerns are switching from 100w of cfl to 300 led may shock the plant.

Also i have noticed when i come home in the mornings and check on them the bluematic looks drooped, but looked fine before i left, temps all fine etc and lights have been on the whole time so its a bit of a headscratcher.

Anyway pics
day 16 and 14

 

[MrMojoRisin]

Pistils indeed!

Update and request for advice, I've posted in the live help thread but im documenting it here too and maybe some others could weigh-in, the more minds the better haha. For the past 2 days the bluematic has been randomly showing the drooping signs of overwatering but soil has been fok if a little dry, also the first 2 true leaves have gotten bad clawing and discolouration.
I have watered to run off yesterday and tested run off and was at about 6.5 but i am using the drop tester until my digi one arrives today. Nitrogen toxicity ? ph fluctuations ? both seem unlikely as ph seems fine to my knowledge and i havent fed her alot either.

Day 18 Bluematic


Sweet tooth is looking fine and growing nicely but im now paranoid as she has had the same routine as the bluematic

Day 16 Sweet Tooth Auto
