unorthodox is the only way to go...lol I think everyone is a little different. we weave in and out, experimenting until we get a system that works....I read here and learn and use a little bit of everybody's advice....Its all about the enjoyment and thrill of victory, when we have a successful grow, but also the agony of defeat....lol

Light leak of some sort would be my first to check if I had herms. Stand in ur flower room with lights off for like twenty thirty seconds till ur eyes adjust and it should be black. If u can distinguish shapes and leaves its too bright IMO. Happy growin! Hope this helps
I don't live there anymore, but that may have been the problem at that place. Never had it happen since. Now I have building just for my girls and it has no light leaks. I just did not know this was possible, but now I am all in.

What I was getting at is that I have never fed a seedling. There is usually enough food to wait three weeks and then I start at 300 ppms. RO water Cal mag, Nitrogen, micro nutes, molases white shark, Pot of Gold, Diamond nectar, silica, and floralicious. So what I am asking is when can you start feeding them? I forgot to mention: humidity 50% temps high72 lows 68 and that low is climbing to 72 some warm days. I hand water unless I am out then I use a res that has gravity flow that has a timer on it that floods the tray every three days. It works great.

I typed this before & hit cancel it just don't sound real & I didn't take pictures.I had 2 plants 1 bucket got root rot or whatever that slime is.Was going to throw both away,cut it at the top of r/w just stuck it in some water with 10mg of rapid start3 weeks later I put it in a bucket with normal feed.It has started flowering but it's so small I rather have seeds 'cause it's sure tough enough. They live in spite of what we do.Peace

When I did hydro and got the rot I just pulled out the brown dead shit and soaked in H202 for twenty minutes and ran Hygrozyme in res only for one day and eliminated the problem by reducing pump run time. There is also light bleed into root zone. I found my issues and fixed them early so I got lucky. Then I went into Promix, and now I am trying coco. Sm 90 helps as well on root rot, just clean and rinse in H202 4 mills per gallon then run in Hygrozyme or SM90.

Myself, I use MG Moisture Control and MG Perlite from the start, so I usually start feeding about 20-25 days after sprout.

Ok so here is the update on the Heri-cripples, I decided to go with what I do with clones I gave em calimagic, carboload, silica, florablend and superthrive at 300 ppms the day after I planted them in 2 gallon pots the second day after sprouting and put em under the 1000 watt digilux. If they take this food well I will add more nitro, and micro nutes on next feeding and take em to 400 ppm and then 500 then at three weeks flush and transition into flower food. Giving them any bud blaster is going to be scetchy considering it is 0-57-45. It is so damn concentrated a teaspoon is 350 ppms in two gallons. I will have to make it and dilute it with more water and then add the other goodies. The flowering pineapple in the background is for ornamental decoration only as I am trying to keep it real with the 12/12 from seed to finish lol. Pics coming soon thanks everybody for the past posts I found what I needed today and applied my experience with what I found and I think it is going to go well. You can find both strains at Woodhorse or Meduser.ca if you want info on the strains. They were both seed plants that were bred for the project. Next I will feminize the strain so the 12/12 will be all girls. Seeds always do better than clones IMO. Cheers

Wow, that's a lot of goodies to be feeding, more than for my liking, but if it works for you, then more power to ya.
I like to keep it simple, and just have a couple things high in P and K for when I need it, and an all purpose fert, that has N in it, and juggle to get what my gals want.
