Day 37 from germination. How is this progress going?

[repobird]

I've been keeping an eye on others grow reports and I feel as though my growth should be further along for being about 37 days from germination.

The two middle red cups are blue dream, the two right red cups are purple trainwreck. The black pots were planted 2 weeks later.

feed schedule is basically 1 time every other day or when the top soil is mostly dry. feed is a sort of lucas/kiss formula maxibloom. 5.8-6.1 ph / .6-.8 EC . I think I need to get some ph up to get the EC higher without getting too acidic.

Sometime I come in and the largest two plants look droopy. I feel like I am missing something. Anyway here is a photo.

What light are you using? That seems to be N deficiency or maybe not enaugh light. Or even both.

600w MH dimmed to 400w. ~18" from tallest plant.

I was looking at the infirmary photos and also thought it might be N deficiency. I got the color pretty close to what it looks like. yellowish green.

I did get some ph UP today and can now get a mixture of RO water + GH maxibloom of 5.9 ph / 1.1 ec. Before today this was not possible. Next feeding time should be tomorrow morning.

If feeding more doesn't help, look for a way to bring more N into your nute formula. It may be good for flower, but not as good for veg. Also, if feeding more helps, try to rise the ec a bit more early next grow so they don't go deficient.
good luck!

two days ago I picked up a bag of MaxiGro, which looks to have double the N that is in MaxiBloom. Holy sh*t balls... The fan leaves look abnormally large on the ones with MaxiGro relative to the maxibloom control. The color looks to have turned more green now. Not dark green, but solid green. No more yellowish green.

I also decided to move them in to larger 96oz containers today. The red solo cups were pretty root bound when I transferred them.

* The maxigro test was in 3x3" black pots. the control was in red solo cups (less volume). Not sure if that makes up for the difference. I am moving everyone on to maxigro now though.

Yeah id up size the cups to pots. Will speed up growth big time

Cant expect a beer cup to give you good growth...

If 8 get a chance ill grab a pic of the same strain. 1 transplanted and one left to die in a cup....

Slog f2. Planted same time... transplanted about 2 weeks before this pic. The cup was getting proper light for growth. Shows the stunting caused by small root mass. Cup plant is trash and the bigger will b sexed...

Cheers
