Day 15 from first sprout LOOKIN GOOD??

The big bloom doesn't seem hot at all. You could probably get away with using 75% of whats recommended on the bottle. Grow big is all you'll need until flower time. I've used sensi calmag and calimagic but recently just started putting in a small pinch of Epsom salt per gal since the nutes i use covers my cal. No issues yet running a week now. Are you adding your calmag first before the gro big?

I still don't think what you're seeing has anything to do with the nutes.

I did not put cal mag first, that was actually the final Nute I mixed in before ph balancing it. Should I switch to cal mag first when putting the Nutes together? Should I not include big bloom until flowering?

I’m worried it’s not going to grow taller but I’ve never done this before so everything is trial and error at this point. Really appreciate the feedback.
I just want this girl to make it to harvest, even if it’s less than an oz it’s all fascinating to me. Really fun to grow.

I've always seen manufacturers say to add your calmag prior to any other nutes. So that's what I've done.
You're at 19 or 20 days so far and they look on track. Don't worry about height. You're nodes are spacing nicely. Take a pic every day and after a week or two, go back and look at them. You'll see that they are growing. Also you won't notice any major growth upwards until your plant decides to flower. It'll double or even triple in size after that. Usually between day 30-40 with autos.

What water are you using by the way ?

I’m using filtered water out of my refrigerator and ph balance before and after adding Nutes. Updated today...she perked up and definitely gained in size

notcied small yellowish/brown spots on a couple leaves. Possibly nitrogen or potassium issue? Hopefully it’s not any pests. I’m leaving for the beach and won’t be back until tomorrow night, should be enough time for the soil to dry out. Just worried about the spots. Any clues??

Those spots aren’t a big deal. The new growth seems to being doing better. Probably had a root issue prior so the spots showed up. Happens all the time. Get the watering wet/ dry cycle on point. Check weights of pots dry compared to wet always works.

If your water doesn’t have calcium in it already, yes ad cal mag to start. Then add in small amount of nutes, if you think you need it now. But she’s pretty small, don’t overdo nutes this early. Don’t wanna stunt growth

Appreciate the feedback, I’ve held off on watering and letting the soil dry completely. Should I flush it and leave Nutes out next watering?

Are you using softened water? What is ph before and after adjustment? FF nutes aren't very popular and you shouldn't need nutes for a seedling in soil, FF soil doesn't need nutes for weeks. FWIW, this thread would be a better fit in the Newbie Central or Plant Problems forums.

just water out of the refrigerator, through a filter. Ph before is around 6.9-7.0. I ph it down to 6.1-6.3.

Don’t even know the soil brand, but it’s not fox farms. I did order fox farms soil for my next plant.

Well, it's either hard or soft water going into the fridge.

if your filter is a water softener (ion exchange filter) your calcium will be striped and exchanged to nacl.
"that can exchange positive ions, such as calcium and magnesium, for sodium or potassium "

•2 waterings ago, ph water only. (3 days ago)
•Let pot dry out completely and then watered last night: FoxFarms 1ml grow, 1ml bloom, 2ml CalMag

She seems to be droopy in the morning and at night right before the light shuts off. Then perks up by the time I’m back from work. Anything I should be doing?

the bottom/middle is getting pretty heavily bushy. Should I leave it? Add Epsom Salt? Most of the stems are green, and 2 are reddish and only have 3-4 leaves. Should I remove??

theres a few small cracks or slices to the leaves in a few minor spots. One bottle leaf shows brownish spots, but only on that one. Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance!!!

Day 37 how’s she looking? I think she’s back on track and IMO looks to be healthy. I see pre flowers...I’m pretty sure

I’ve noticed the tips of the lower 1/2 are browning/yellowing. Only a couple up top barley have it. What’s wrong??
