New Grower Tangerine Dream auto

[ROCKSTAR369]

First real attempt at growing here and after looking at hundreds of strains and photos or autos I chose to go with Tangerine dream auto seeds. Based on me being new at this I decided to start a journal of my own so I can get as much help as possible. Here's where I'm at so far...

2x3-1/2x5 custom cabinet
2 5gal buckets with HF
1 1000w full spectrum led 19/5 schedule
Seeds planted in peat pods and ffhf on 03/02

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. I've been lurking for awhile then made an acc then lurked for a bit more until my girls hit the stage they're in now...
Just got home and checked on my girls. 1 isnt looking so good. I'm thinking overwatering and what might be a cal def. Caused by overwater. Soil usually doesnt feel damp when I check on it but I think the peat pod they're in might still be.(haven't checked that). Any thoughts from the pros?

Side note: white bucket (1) showed her head before gray bucket (2) but 2 has grown more than 1

Hello dude....Welcome to AFN and Gratz for starting a journal ....can I just ask?.....what is the liner inside your buckets?........and they do seem kind of droopy.....do you have drainage holes?......lifting the pot can be a good way to see if they need to be watered.....:smiley1:

new grower small plant big pot = over watered.......best gauge is weight of pot.easier to gauge if ya can find a spare pot,fill it with dry soil set it in a corner.pick it up and down everytime ya walk past it.
even a fully grown plant weighs nothing compared to pot/soil and the 1,2,3,4L of water in the pot.
good luck n keep er lit.

Hi and to AFN
As my friend Archie Said get a feel for ure pots weight seedling grow better when not watered so often .
For example I grow in 18litre pots and with seedling up to about 4 nodes I fed only 500ml every 5 days or so

Its landscape fabric I lined the buckets with to keep the soil in after drilling 1/2" holes every 2" all the way around the buckets

...oooohhhh!!!.......clever lol!!.............sometimes plants droop just before and after lights out....like they are having a rest lol.......and new growth from the middle can look lighter green until it gets a bit of light on it....you seem to be doing everything bob on....see how it goes.....just a suggestion but I would be watering the whole of the medium by now dude......should be lots of roots in there by now.....:smiley1:
