Cut to 8 mains today, one day short of one month from emergence, now give them a couple of weeks or so to get some growth on them then flip. They are Mr. Nice Black Widow regulars. Emerged on 12/27/14
Growing in two gallon 65/35 Perlite/Coco coir Hempy buckets.
Veg under 400W MH
Will flower under 400W HPS
GH Flora nutes, modified Lucas formula (Head's formula) with Cal/Mag and Silica (using rainwater and it is too pure),
Have three clones from, BW 1, 3, 5, and two each from BW 2 and 4. Going to flower them this week, hope to get a few keepers. Have heard good things on female to male ratios from these seeds. One person said he got 9 fems out of 10 seeds, I don't expect that much but would be nice to get 3 out of the five.
Three mainlines in my 7+ sqft cabinet is plenty. Maybe some day a SOG but just 3 for now.
BW 5
BW 2
BW 3, this is the runt of the batch.
BW 4 upper right main is considerably smaller than it's opposing main. Notice the asymmetrical shoots on the upper left main, the rest of the shoots are all symmetrical. Hummm
BW 1
Peace out,

Hey Growan, looking at the photos, they need some N and they even looked overwatered. Which shouldn't happen in a 2L perlite hempy. I can't say I know anything about Dyna-Gro Grow, or Mag-Pro Protekt. But as small as your plants are they shouldn't need to be watered any more than once a day. Should be more like every 2 days instead of twice a day. All you need to grow hydro is an NPK with a full set of micros and some free cal to aid in nute absorption.
My first thought would be to pick a water source, rain has little to no minerals, and needs cal/mag, silica, & other basic minerals, your tap on the other hand depending upon your location (living over limestone) may have these minerals. Figure out your water first and it will make adjusting much easier.
I mix my water 50/50 RO & tap and have done so for yrs. My tap has no cal but has a lot of silica. (Had to learn about the silica the hard way)
So in closing I'd say Pick a water, one, the other or a blend. Stick with it. Let em' dry out, and give them some N.
Be patience, and all the best, Watts

Watt, as you know I just went through this, using rainwater that was too pure. I am now also mixing 3/2 rainwater/tap water. Has made things a bit easier.

Over watering a Hempy... Yeah, that sounds like the sort of stunt I could pull off.... I'll let em dry right out. Dyna-Gro is pretty much complete www.dyna-gro.com/795.htm
But nitrogen does look low to me. Not sure how I'm going to boost that without watering again though... :/

Growan, I have been looking at your photos. Did you use rockwool cubes? If so, did you soak in lowered PH water before using? They can be VERY high PH-wise, and if you don't soak them in 5.5 water for a day or so, can cause issues. I am sorry if I'm way off.

I did germ in cubes, yeah, 1inch plugs. I soaked for 12 hours then dumped the water, shook them dryish and soaked again. Long enough i hope...Good eyes though!

I'm thinking about trying hempy! I got an orange home depot bucket I could use

Hey funguy, get it, LOL
Best recommendation I can make is start reading everything you can. Start with this forum at page one and read all the way through. Lot's of very experienced people here.
Way cool TWS, can't wait to see the photos.
New drainage system for the buckets, no more having to lift and carry, now able to water/nutes in the cabinet. My life just got easier. I can now water in less than 30 min. including mixing.
The 5/16" hose works great very tight fit in the drain holes. I spread the out on the outer edges of the table and run the hoses through the screen and into the catch container outside the cabinet.
All 5 buckets,
You can see how the hose is snugged into the drain hole.
I built 4 x 10 ft troughs and lined it with pond liner for the run off. It was a pita scrubbing down.

Strawberry Blue at week 2 of 12/12
and White Lemon at week 1 of 12/12
I caught the deficiency from mixing my coco in the Strawberry Blue first, so the White Lemon didn't suffer nearly as much. I'm still a little surprised at the pistil production in 2 weeks from a 9 or 10 week strain. Maybe I was just REALLY glad to see them after my thin, overgrown hydro mess. Some of these buds are already larger than many of the ones I had to sacrifice to the butter gods. I normally ScrOG 50/50s if I can, but I wanted to try the Strawberry Blue(75/25). Strawberry Cough was thin too, but worth it.

12/12 from seed 2l's bottom perlite/vermiculite above the drain holes is canna coco.
