New Grower New grower: third set of seeds...

[Arthur]

Don't worry too much about bringing the rH down at this point. I don't get concerned until... well, about where I am now!

Except for the last 3 or 4 weeks, i see better growth and healthier plants at the higher end of the chart.

My rH is currently 80* & 60%, next week I'll start dropping the rH, headed for 40-45% till done.

Thanks, that is more user-friendly.

LOL I know right, with colors and everything.
So how are the seedlings looking now? You should get some closeups.
I think the RH chart is really something to consider when you are trying to perfect your grow I wouldn't break my head on it too much now aslong as you are staying in the reasonable range, it's more likely important when in flower when higher rh could cause mold.
BUT WHAT DO I KNOW RIGHT LOL

I been taking a pic every 2 days but I'm honestly getting discouraged.
Spent alot of money obviously on all the gear and got nothing out of it 3 months later lol..
Also spending alot of time on it trying to do things right but most likely the early high PH was an issue.
Pretty sure 2 of my seedlings should be replaced at this point

Day 8 of all seedlings above-ground. Six are (I think) looking good. The bottom-center seedling in the full-tent pic is still barely moving. The 3BOG seedling almost looks like it had 3 cotyledons, but is slowly thinking about real leaves (see close up). The others seem ok to me - I am attaching a closer pic of a few in case y’all see anything amiss. I upped the light a bit more as there was a little stretching (I added some soil to the couple that were stretching, too).

The temp in the pic is 81 (looks like 91 due to reflection). I’m shooting for high 70s with humidity in the high 60s. I’m still struggling a bit with my external temp swings and keeping the girls steady (I have not had temps higher than 82).

Some look better than other but all together you're doing pretty good it seems!
Do you swap around your pots around the tent or wer they all in this place since start?

I have shifted some (I put the stretchers more central), and I rotate each pot a quarter turn every couple days. I will of course space out to a second tent when necessary.

Day 13 update: the 3BOG seems to finally be growing after a slow start (and weird “third large cotyledon”). The ILGM seedling that stunted never changed over the last ten days, so I tossed it. The rest seem to be growing well. Fingers crossed.

Day 17 and still plugging along, growing well (I think!). One plant was leaning a bit, so I decided to try LST - does this look correct? Also, 5th nodes are developing now on the bigger plants. I am considering topping one of them as a trial. I’ve read the stickied threads on topping (ok, not all of @autobeast ’s thread but I’m working through it). Thoughts on whether this is smart? Bit nervous to mess things up, but I know I won’t learn til I DO things...

Topping between the 4th and 5th node seems to be pretty common. Overall, your plants are looking good. The "runt" that you lst'd looks ok as well. Keep on truckin

Looking good,
I think if you want to top one you should read up on the strains you have and pick the one that has the longest lifecycle.
