Transplant coming soon. I think the brown spots/yellowing might be magnesium deficiency only since it seems it appears on older leaves... Magnesium is a mobile element and calcium is immobile. Will be adding some epsom salts

The bagseed started perking up a day ago and he/she is just killing it now. Hope its a female:bigjoint:

Day 5
More progress! I started giving them all MC nutes at a low dose and they have all progressed significantly! Next time I feel I should do this as soon as they get planted. They still seem nutrient deficient. They're under 2-23 watt 6500k CFLs atm

I was able to gently soak and push the shells off the remaining 3 diesels (toothpicks were very useful for this).
5 still have red stems but are showing more green and the middle one is almost all green:

The two runts in the back I thought were dead they hadnt shown any progress breaking free from their seed prison.. fed nutes and buried them deeper and I was able to push those pesky shells off!

I'm surprised all 6 are growing still! Thought for sure I would kill half on accident :bigjoint:
They have a little bit before they need food, you can take a tooth pick and knock the helmets off of them, just be careful

I was planning on super cropping them. I also plan on taking clones of each.
It seems you are doing your research ,
How many grows you have under your belt?
Just keep it super simple at first ok.
You will do just fine.
Go research Lucas formula and stick with that .
For cloning get a heat mat humidity dome, rapid rooters and a stand to put them in, get a thermostat , fill the bottom of the tray with water pH at 6 put the thermostat probe in the water set at 75 degrees, they sale a stand that is orbgaish in color your rapid rooters sit above the water this way and can not get to wet. The water provides humidity in the dome. This is what keeps your cutting alive while it roots, use a spray bottle to spray the plugs with when they start turning light brown. In most strains less then five days they will have roots.
Do not move the cuttings directly into low humidity. It is recommended you pre veg them for a few days then you can move them into veg .
Of course transplanting them into whatever growing media you are using when taken out of the cloner.
Keep your best clones and any with defficencies throw away. Anything not in perfect health kill it.
Keep the very best clones for bew mothers.

Thanks for the advice! This is my first grow.

Super cropping seems to be a simpler approach over scrog / topping. I plan on sticking with the MegaCrop and just correcting deficiencies I see. For that cloner setup Id need an airstone? I honestly was planning on rooting them in perlite/vermiculite:weed:

Do you mean I should take more than one clone from each dynamite diesel and then select from them? (How many?)

Runoff pH measured about 6.5, also fed .8g MegaCrop in 1200ml.

Day 70
So unfortunately lifes been hard this past month and a half. The little ones have suffered a bit because of it as they got quite rootbound in my lack of time to transplant. They seem to show small signs of Cal/mag and nitrogen deficiency as well but I havent been supplementing yet. Havent transplated the two in back as Im unsure I should even keep them..

Some exciting things arrived recently!!
4 Quantum Board 132s 2700k and an HLG-240H-C1750A. Should be able to pull 250 watts

Now to figure out what to mount these puppies on... 11.811 in x 8.858 in but Ive heard they do not need a heatsink

Nice boards bro. Good choice. U should really enjoy those! Can always make a frame using aluminum angles and what not.

What do you think about quarter sized baking sheets? They are typically 9" x 13". Could buy 4 sheets to mount each board separate with the driver mounted remotely

HLG must have made these QB132s with quarter sized cookie sheets in mind!

Bagseed seems to be showing some female preflowers. I'm not 100% sure. I see a lot of what looks like pistils! Also the unknown bagseed has a serious case of angry stem. Idk what to do roots are fuzzy white and healthy looking and the leaves look fairly healthy.
