You gonna replant or keep in them pots? 

I still have to re pot to a bigger pot before I flower up

Update time, well not much going on. 

I have started training #1 for mainlining.

#2 I have topped

#3 I am not doing anything to. I will just leave her to do her thing and see how she grows without any interference. 

All in all they are all healthy.

I did spray all with a baking soda and water solution. Just as a safety sake for molds. But with low temps and high humidity. Rather safe than sorry.

Most definitely is the reason, I soaked my beans straight in ExploGrow and they pumping. 

ExploGrow is perfectly named! 

yeah I read up alot on it and it has some amazing results in the farming sector. So i thought why not try. And all I can say is Wow!!

Hey bro. Your plants have a very nice colour well done.

But in my limited experience those plump leaves curving a bit downwards might be a sign of overwatering.

Good luck for the rest of the grow man!

Im actually bending them down to get light in, but i do see the leaves curling in. Thanks for the advice

Does anyone else have massive leaves like this.

This is a first for me. But also the first time i have used Explogro. Could this be the culprit. I will need to plant another seed that i have in my arsenal and see what the results are. If this is the case, I have found a new weapon. hahaha

Midweek update:

So gave a little watering.

They seem to be trucking along just fine.

The leaves on these plants are seriously large as well as thick

The temps are sitting in the mid to low 20's at times. But all in all doing well.

So the girls had some oomph the last couple of days and got uppotted. Roots looking good. Watered in with some microbes and got prime spot in the veg area .

Looking good there.

AFTER PICS

These ladies have massive leaves. I have topped 1 and 2. #3 I am leaving to her own devices. #2 I am topping 2 maybe 3 times and #1 I will be main lining. Well that's the plan anyway. So her are some before and after pics. Oh have not watered since explogro. No need just yet.

That iron man mask looks sweet, did you use one of those coatings to get that smooth finish? 

Sprayed a clear coat at the end

Awesome idea. I print odds and ends. Busy printing signage for my wifes practice. I have attached some of my work.

But a great idea to print stuff for our grows if anything is needed.

Here are a few pics of things that I have done along with my setup.

So, Got my girls some explogro last night - 5ml into 600ml water ph 6.0

Looks like they responded well as they are bulking up quite nicely.

Yea, it's in my grow room because I print so much grow stuff that and any problem I can solve with CAD and my 3D printer

I have... only 1, sadly... Ender 5 pro. Your only limit is your imagination and it turns out it makes a mean heat mat well 

What do you print @ChefDylan?

I print slot of cosplay stuff as well as signage. Whatever is needed at the time.

What printer do you have and what do you print. I have 3 Ender 3 pros. Very addictive hobby indeed

A day short of the 2 week mark since the seeds were dropped into water

Now that the choc gelato has been moved to the flower tent the seedlings have full rights to the light. I've taken out the 400w MH and swapped it for a 250w MH

Did a water with some humic mix added last night. I use the liquid humic mix from Grow Guru

 

Looking good there buddy

This is the tools I am going to be using in the Grow-Off:

 

For the seeding and vegetative stage, I use the following supplements:

Fabric Pots filled with a mixture of Coco Peak, Perlite and Vermiculite

Grow Medium is buffered with Calcium and pH of 6.2

Grow Medium had been amended with Fulvic Acid, Humic Acid and Kelp Extract.

 

Green House Feeding Grow will be used during the Veg-stage for the basic NPK and micronutrients.

pH Pen / Tester calibrated before use

PPM Pen / Tester calibrated before use.

Light source LED: Specs:

·         CREE CXB 3590, 3500K x3, 4000K x 3

·         Meanwell HLG – 240 – 1400B Driver x 2

·         Driver is dimmable 23W to 586W

VPD will controlled by the following:

·         Humidifier will be used to control humidity.

·         Fan will be used to create airflow and control leave temperature ·         

Hygrometer will be used to ensure humidity and temperature is correct and VPD can be calculated.

 

 

 

If I may ask, where did you get all the components for your led set up

Here are the pics after transplant. I had to cover the stem a bit as way too stretchy. But they look much better now.

Right, time for transplant. These girls are so lanky and are falling over so have transplanted into bigger pots where they will stay for the next 4 weeks. Then they will go into final pots before flipping amending with elemental mix, worm castings and myco. And watering with ph 6.0 water when dry. So here are a few pics before transplant and the amendment's I used.

Yes, Youtube put a age restriction on.. I deleted it again and added new.. no age restriction now 

Youtube did that to me, you need to update your date of birth on your attached google account, then it sorts it out automatically. Thats what i did and it worked just fine. Updates all ways cock this up.

If they are under a 240 QB from Light it up, then you should have your lights dimmed to 160-180, at a height of 70-80cm for this early veg stage

I now have my QB at 60cm and 60%. So i will monitor now until Saturday and see where I am at. Like I said above, they are getting more leafy now instead of just stem. Will monitor and adjust accordingly. Thanks for the advice.

29 minutes ago, CreX said:

you said you did so just the other day... 60% and lower... 

i dono if you should do so again... the light was too weak from the start and thats why its stretching... if you did adjust your lights on monday...id leave it at that till the end of the week

I think they are just settling in now, they look like the are getting more leaf as apposed to more stem. but all learning curve. None the less they are healthy and doing well.

Yeah have done so already, will see how the next few days go
