Snerval's third grow - BioTabs

[snerval]

I don’t know much admittedly but they don’t seem that small to me. Heres a pic from my last grow of a plant at 23 days old. 4 full nodes with the 5th set just coming up. Seems to look just like yours in the pic above and it turned out awesome. These are hardy plants, just keep giving it love and wait for the magic.

I think you're right, and beautiful plant you have here
For 2 or 3 days they have resumed their growth (as a reminder they were cold at the beginning of their life, which affected them for sure).

I found that the blueberry auto is in great shape, so I opted for topping ^^
Time will tell !

Yesterday this pretty white widow auto was praying hard to the light, I mean her big fan leaves were erect and stretched upwards - very nice to see, but... I still raised my LED light about 20 cm.
I will be getting the photone app for iPhone soon, this should help give the plants the right dose/distribution of photons.

I'm not going to touch this strange plant - red strawberry banana... last time I grow one it was completely twisted, and on @Bob's Auto's advice I discontinued it.
This seed isfrom the same package and she looks ...odd lol!
Not twisted but...strange.

Look at this superimposition of nodes 4 & 5 !

Finally, my sweet OK kush auto seems a bit tired - I'm going to leave her alone and let her develop as she pleases.

Wenesday I helped all 4 plants with a nice Boom-Boom spray all the way around - I think that could also be the reason for their recovery...

Thank you Biotabs !

This time around the plant is looking nice and compact. Ideal for small spaces I can only assume

Hi !
Here's my little garden as of today.
I think the ladies are healthy, although I'm not sure that their development is as it should be lol

I would love to get your opinion as to what action should I take on them now...
Leaf tuck ?
Remove lower weak branches ?
Do nothing ?
Have a look at the red strawberry banana girl, her structure is quite unusual - but what do I know really
Main stem is growing straight up with almost no growing of the side branches :

White widow :

Blueberry has been topped and is recovering nicely :

OG kush :

Here's a top and side view of the garden :

Thanks for watching and comments are welcome.

They look perfect buddy!!!
Do nothing, you have all the room in the world in there. Leaves are your friend, the solar panels of the plant world.
How old are they now?

Thanks mate !
Don't you think that the shape of the RSB is special ? I mean what a strange central stem trunk lol !
They are around day 32 - I'm not sure about the day they popped through the dirt - stoner, me ?
Ok my friend, I won't touch them, but with this BioTabs system growing is... boring haha !
Thanks for stopping by ^^

Some nice, healthy, happy girls!

Now you've got more time to do other things...like, smoke a joint or look into VPD, DLI...Hone your skills mate

When I placed the sprouts seeds into the tent it was around 19°C/66°F.
I thought it was pretty cold, but as I checked the VPD chart I managed to get the RH according to it, so I thought it was OK.
But maybe it was a mistake : all I did was stunt the young plants.
So now I think that no matter what, next time I'll maintain a nice 24°C/75°F until the sprouts establish themselves as seedlings, and THEN check the VPD chart...
@Bob's Auto's am I right ?
I have another question for you if you don't mind - at which point should I start giving the ladies some PK 5-8 ?
Is it too early ?
Thanks !

Yeah, sprouts prefer it hot. That's an easy choice to make. What I did was place a heatmat under my tray. This keeps the soil nice and warm, exactly what young plants like. As you might know, I'm also running my plants at 19°C and they are growing well, so temperature at a later stage doesn't become less important, but VPD then comes close. If you know what I mean.

Not to early no. But start slow...
You only have the Bio PK 5-8 and not the compost tea, right?
Then I would suggest you use 1ml/L water. Every time you water the plants.
You can build up to 3ml/L, but start at 1ml just to be sure. If in a couple of waterings you see the ladies can take it, go to 2ml/L and so on. If you see them reacting badly, stop with PK 5-8 and give 1L water with 1gr of Bactrex and 1gr of Mycotrex instead. These will make the Nitrogen more available to the plants and even everything out. But I don't think we will get there if you start slowly

I will do that next time for sure !
So about VPD, if I understand it well, during late veg/early flower stage at 19°C it should be between 0,8-1,2 kPa, RH anywhere between 50-60%... If I'm not wrong lol

Ok thanks, will do that next watering.
Plants don't drink much right now, I give them around 800 ml plain water every other day or so.
OG kush drinks even less than that.
I think I'll wait a little more before watering again - not too much dry, but really lightweight pots.
Bonne soirée !
