Hows it going,
Just started growing and im just doing a bag seed at the moment, so i dont waste good seeds that i pay for lol. So far things have been some what good, but ive ran into some problems with nute burn. Im wondering if FFOF is too strong of a soil for my seedling?
Anyways tell me what you guys think and i appreciate any advice !

I have two intake fans and two exhaust fans and one fan inside. Im using the hydrofarm 2ft 4 bulb t5 high output. Ill be purchasing a HPS/MH hood next for flower. Im going to be 4 way LST and im not sure if ill scrog yet but i'd like to give it a shot if i have the room.

Planted the seed on May 21 at 12:00PM and it was germinating 3 days prior.
May 23 the seedling broke ground
Right now shes starting to grow the next set of leaves but they haven't came up yet.

Any advice or concerns please post! :wave:

Alright IC i need your help, things have started to go south.
I dont know she seems to be growing a little weird, but who knows this is my first grow.
She grew her second set of leaves with 2 on each side, then the third set with three leaves but neither will get bigger. The second set has been that size for a while and one side is growing sideways lol. She looks healthy until what i think is nute burn, ive started using straight water and ph adjusted the best to my ability. I never flushed it plant because i thought maybe it was to young, any suggestions on bringing it fully back to health?

After a good feeding she seems to be perking back up. I moved the lights away and that seems to be helping as well.

Ffof is a little hot for seedlings. Looks to me like it just has a little too much nitrogen. It should be alright when it gets a little bigger.

You're doing well...keep going. You had a little burn early, easy with the nutes, if any, this early.

Good luck!

Come on don't be shy people.
A couple of updates, i picked up my 400W MH/HPS convertible hood. I just need to build a new cab which can fit both the mh/hps and t5. SHould be done by next week.
Topped one of the plants yesterday, was kind of weird waiting all that time to just cut off the top growth off lol.
I think shes looking good.

Alright so this week started out good and ended badly. Got the 400 MH in there for 2 days, it got really hot, so today while i was at home depot to get ducting and fans to run a exhaust out the hood i come back to the ballast being burnt up i guess? Lights wont turn on at all nether HPS or MH. So im taking it back to the shop tomorrow im sure they will take care of me they have previously. So im back to the t5's lol and on with the updates.

My little babies are still hanging in there.

Now the older plant is starting to show some cal or mag problems so i picked up some cal-mag so that should stop soon. You can see some of the heat stress she received over the days the MH was in. If you ask me the stem and branching is starting to come in pretty thick and tight nodes. Also some leafs are starting to appear of the nodes.

Ok now this may seem dumb but did i top incorrectly? Or is it normal for the shoots to grow slower than each other?

I was going to comment on your "topping technique" before but decided against it...

I thought you were trying for a FIM and "missed". You went a little too close and took off some of the lateral growing tip. It looks like it's recovering OK...it should be fine. Just don't get so close next time.

They look great, I like plants that grow nice and squat like that.

Good luck!

Echo, I'm about 3 weeks into my first grow ever. Bag seed as well. Our plants look VERY similar. I'm doing hydro though. And I need to get a good camera like yours. Your photos are awesome. I've just been using my camera phone cause I don't have a digi.

Nice job tho. I'm gonna be watching you and comparing notes so keep posting. Here's my thread. https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=179530
