My First Grow

[Dr. Babnik]

Hey! This is my first post about my first grow.

I have initiated my first grow. I am growing auto versions of White Widow and Super Skunk.

I would appreciate your comments and advise to my setup and the comments below.

Left side: White Widow - born in natural light. Moved into the tent under 250W cfl afer 1 1/2 week. Both seedlings fell over.

Right side: Super Skunk - in the back born in natural light. Moved into the tent under 250W cfl afer 1 1/2 week. Seedling fell over.
In the front: Born in the tent under artificial light.

In the center, germination of WW and SS.

Left, back has a nick in the stem. I plan to throw it out as it develops extremely slowly.

What about the plants born in natural light, should I throw them out also and start over?

All leafs so far has 3 fingers, not 5. When is 5 fingers expected?

I have a small collection of fertilizers:
Canna Vega and Flores
Starter kit from HESI
Powder Feeding from Greenhouse Seeds Co

As for now, I feed them every second watering, alternating between Canna Vega and Powder Feeding. I use 1/2 recommended dose of Canna Vega and 1/4 of recommended dose of Powder Feed.

Today, when I got the HESI delivered, I gave them the recommended dose of Root Complex and Power Zyme. I added 1 drop of Super Vit to 1,5 L water.

Addition:
I grow the plants in 50% soil, 25% perlite and 25% vermiculite.
Ligth cycle: 18/6.

Looks good, brother. They seem healthy and happy. Just don't overwater/over fert them at this stage. Let the soil dry out before you water them. When they are small like this you may only need to water every 7-10 days depending on pots size. So just keep an eye on that if its your first grow.

You're well on your way though. Good job!

Thnx!
Do you agree to throw away the one left side, in the back (clay pot)? She is not developing as her sister.
The stem has some damage after I raised and tied her after she fell over. I piled soil up around her to cover the damage. I read that it may grow roots from the stem. But...if it survives - wouldn't the crop be compromised, as she had a terrible childhood? I feel it is waste of space and want to replace her. I have 3 seeds in the rockwool but not enouugh space in the tent.

Any experience with air pot (tm)?
I like the cylinder. I could have six of those instead of 4.

Yeah, its probably in shock trying to repair itself. I will perk back up after while but it will be a smaller plant for sure because its behind now. just remember that they are going to grow and get bigger then you probably anticipate right now. I know its exciting to pop a bunch of beans when you're all setup, but you are probably going to run out of room. I would probably just stick to a small amount of plants (2-3) so you can learn and not be too overwhelmed. Less shit to go wrong.

No experience with air pot, sry.

Those pots are huge for seedlings. Be careful not to over water. Keep the light close to reduce stretch. Good luck.
