Nice Set up man !
Just a silly question , why to remove the ziplock bag that keeps the pot humid ?
I mean , if you have low humidity in growbox/growroom why not to have a plastic bag or plastic bottle (cutted in half) on your pot to keep humidity in there ?
Thanks !!
Yep you can carefully help remove the seed shell. Just be ginger with it. Plants just grow differently I almost always have a runt. Not yet but as the plants mature you can slow down the growth by pinching the stems. If you're not familiar with F'iming or super cropping look it up here on IC mag ( in essence you crush the stems a little bit so that they heal where you pinch them. Just be careful not to crush them completely. You just punch them until you feel the fibers collapsed underneath the pressure of your fingers it's a very deliberate pinch). not only will it slow the growth of your taller plants it will create healthier stronger stems and plants in general for you. It's great in combination with topping. Just take it slow and easy though. I'd say you will be able to harvest everything at the same time no worries bro.

Sounds like things are well. If one is leaning you can prop it up with a stick or something. I remember mine leaning usually after watering. It takes them a couple weeks to get strong. Are you watering based on weight of cup? Really easy to over water in beer cups. Keep up the good work.Hey everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update. Things are still going fairly well. #2 is still stunted a little, but the new growth is coming along and hope once those have the ability to soak up some rays, it will bounce back.
I also lowered the light from 38 inches, to 30 inches now that they have had some time under there. Next week I will lower even further to 24 inches.
I watered Tuesday pretty good and have been letting them dry out since. I will water again tomorrow before I head out of town for the weekend. I'll post pics once I'm back!

I'm not watering based on weight because I have some river rock at the bottom to help with drainage. I generally spray with a spray bottle, use a dropper, use another Solo cup, etc. I have been weary of over watering so I think I am good.
No leaning yet. I rotate them quite a bit, so they don't really have a chance to get used to one direction or the other.
On a side note, i have not used any nutrients yet. Just pure distilled water. My medium is FF's Happy Frog and Ocean Forest with a little added perlite and worm castings, so I should be good for a while. Plus, every time I re-pot, I am using new soil which will introduce new nutrients.

I'd lower to 24 inches anyway. That's not too close and once they really come to life you don't want them stretching for the light so young.
Sounds great. Your soil blend has a lot of good stuff in it. I doubt you will need to use nutes until after your last transplant when they really need it for the stretch. That said I under fertilized mine and had some yellowing of leaves from early flower on. I'm no expert but have seen a lot of threads where people killed their plants with too much nutes and have been told repeatedly that it's better to under do it than to over do it. Are you planing on using distilled water for the whole grow? I know that people who use distilled or RO water do need to add minerals like ca and mg and what not. If your plants want more of that stuff I guess they will show you, keep an eye on those leaves.
