New Grower (Updated) White Widow Auto's. First grow!

[Taaz]

Just an Update on the babies, I upped their nute EC +200 and after a couple days I noticed burning on a few of them.... I upped the feed too soon! Whipped up a batch of PH'd Cal mag and did a light flush and let them rest. The burn has lightenend but it has not spread. They seem stable but I will let them rest more to recover. I'm thinking I will leave any training techniques for next round, as I dont want to burn them and then stress them again and stunt them. Had a few flies buzzing around so I installed some sticky strips to ensure they dont tamper with the girls!

As of today they are 17 days from sprout.

As far as growth they seem to be trying to one-up each other, playing leapfrog with their sizes. What was the smallest one day is one of the bigger one's currently. Fun to watch in any case! Pic's of course, and sincere apologies for the burn on a few. Live and Learn!

I wouldn't increase the EC unless the leaves become lighter in color that. I try to keep my feedings light to avoid the burn and boot waste nutrients. With my grows, increasing the feed has never given me more growth. If you have to bring your feed down it would be better to ph your water with a feed strength that wasn't causing the burn and water it enough to rinse out what you put in then your feed strength would be closer to what wasn't burning it.

An example, my water is 188 ppm and with just calmag it goes to 300ppm. So with just Cal mag I've reduced the feed lower than what I even charge my coco in. So with my sativas, I feed about .8 EC, if I go to.3 it's way too low when I could adjust my feed to .6 or 7 and work from there.

They look good though, try to get some pics with non blurple lighting, makes it easier for others and yourself if you need help. Good job though

Just another picture update, nothing new to report since the burn-n-learn, but am still showing slight 1mm burn spots on a couple leaves, even though my nute mix has been lowered. The overdose was 3ml/gal of canna A+B, currently running 2ml/gal, and i'm thinking ill drop it to 1ml/gal until the babies personally ask for more with yellowing leaves.
I apologize about the blurple light pics, I dont have a good light to drag in the tent for photos, and taking them out of the tent in fabric pots would get my floor wet/disturb the babies too much for my liking. Thanks for your continued interest !

Popping in for another picture update for those watching, babies seem happy with new nute mix, no new issues to report at all really! No news is good news right? They finally started rubbing leaves with their siblings so i pulled them apart slightly, raised lights, and am watching them sprout up! Always browsing the forums for new tidbits of info, so thanks as always for sharing your expert knowledge!

Stopping through for a little picture update, not much to add to anything, just playing the waiting game. I do believe we've started flowering, so that's amazing. We are around week 5 right here. Still maintaining 500-600 ec feedings with 1ml/gal of canna coco A+B, with cal-mag, silica, and humic acids. They seem happy so i'm maintaining my hands off approach and just learning all I can about how they grow naturally. they've really shot up in height, and i'm understanding why i'll be wanting that net on them in my next grow. Thanks for tuning in!

Edit; I HAVE noticed an increase in humidity in the tent, and am starting to think on solutions for it's late flowering stage to avoid any rot that might happen. May need a dehumidifier or may have to open it up for an hour or so a day to let some out. The A/C cooling the room has done a good job of keeping the moisture out thus far. Percents have ranged from 50-60 ish up till now, but today's readings are 68-72%

Good looking ladies

Rolling through to drop a pic for you guys, nothing exciting to report. I cleaned all their pans and wiped down the floor, as a couple pans had some green algae floating in them. Guess my hand pump isn't sucking every drop out so it's got a suitable enviroment. Dropped a few drops of dishwashing soap into each pan to help stop that.

It was one of the few times I've seen the babies in regular light, let me tell you those are beautiful green plants hiding in that blurple mess...

Humidity levels kept rising as they grew this week, topping out at a whopping 80% yesterday. So last night I bought a big ole dehumidifier, which has been running for about 4 hours in the room that holds the tent. I love the thing, it's huge and left a huge dent in my wallet but it has it's own drain tube so very hands off. Box says it can remove up to 70 pints per day, so i think that should do. It's gotten the humidity down to 55-60%, but it has also pushed my temp's to 82...measured the exhaust of the thing and it's almost 98 degrees... Not sure how i feel about the trade off but not much i can do there. It's naturally super humid year round here, so it'll be needed. I do feed with silica every feed so that should help with the higher temps, or so i've read.

Thanks for your time!
