LED+Airpots--- hows it look?

So it's my first grow with LED and Airpots. I have 2 fem Blue Dream in fox farm ocaean forest soil. I transplanted 1 already to airpot and all seems well. the other girl is still in her plastic cup and doing well, a little stockier than her sister. I was going to wait a bit longer to transplant them both but I experimented and did one at a young age to see any differences. It's finally cooled down and temps are between 78-82F and 40-60 RH. I don't remember when I put them in soil (noob mistake not keeping track) I think they're 2 weeks old and just seem a little small compared to my previous grows. Could this be a strain thing? or maybe the higher when i put them in soil? or maybe i'm just being to impatient and need to get a day job so i don't look at them all day!

Anyone using a similar set up I'd love some advice.

yea i have/had a similar set up. other then foxfarm ocean forest. i recommended that you use either a drip system or slowly hand water your plants with those air pots, i kept running into the problem of lots of excessive water coming out them air holes.

That's good to know, thanks man. All other seeds i've grown were twice the size by this time so I didn't know if i did something wrong.

How tall did yours grow in veg? I know they're indica dominant so what like 1 foot? before you switched to 12/12?

I've read a lot of people had the same issue. I do hand water, usually with a big spoon so I can aim right at the base of the stem and a little bit around that.

well honestly I've never grown BD under led......put she is a great yielder and will get big, we usually flipped them around the twenty/twenty five day mark @around a foot....not an aggressive stretcher unless you catch a sat pheno/happens.....handles strong feeding and takes to pinchings// super croppings quite well......she's popular for a reason:-P

edit: all this info is from my experiences under hid's......led might be a different matter/if it's your first time under led and a new strain for you,I would start with small doses/light to no training and slowly up it/watch their signs carefully IMO.....good luck

Good to know I picked a winner! :-o If it's as hearty a strain you've experienced then I may super crop one of them and do a side by side comparison

looks like they got nute burn a bit. fox form ocean forest is not good for seedlings. it is too "hot"

Yeah I can't tell if it was nute burn or just heat stress. Temps were getting to 85F + and had a little twisting and cupping going on, but all seems well now. I've started all my seedlings in FoxFarm with no issues thus far, could just be the strain is sensitive?
