It has been 4 years since my last riu post!!! I missed you ALL.
Anyway, enough with the sentimental drama, lets grow some stankness!!
I have a slight concern with my plants, nothing HUGE but a concern nonetheless.
But first, lemme fill you all in on my grow. I have 4 babies that are about two weeks old. They have not be transplanted and are still in rather small containers (plastic solo cup). They are in a mix of vermiculite and potting soil mediums. I water about one time a day or two. LIGHT ferts have only been applied three times. My lighting, cfls out the ass. They are about 9 inches from the top of my plants and on the side of my plants, which is about 4 inches away. The cfls are a mix of the various options so to get all the spectrum of light i can and to save cash. I have used the FIM pruning technique. (For those unfamiliar, FIM= "F*** I Missed". Its from a grow bible and is basically topping the plant but only a small portion of the uppermost newest forming leaves). I did this because I wanted them real bushy and short, not a lot of room ova here, and I was planning on bending them sideways to accomadate for space. Plus bending always looks cool and turns out decent.
I have now acquired new ideas and space is no longer a big issue. I just need to finish the new area before moving the babies. But for now, they are fine in the original space.
OK!!
Now here come my problems:
1) One plant is very lightly dotted with a more yellowish tint than the rest of the plant.
2) At the very top of the same plant, it appears dark purple or maybe brownish.
Other than 1 and 2 above this plant appears to be thriving. If you can say that...
3) Next plant. This guy is my bushiest one but is starting to droop. It lived through some sort of stress as a tinier seedling. The stress caused yellowing of the tip of two true leaves. This happened to two of my four babies (not the plant mentioned in # 1 and 2 above). The only diff that I know of btw the other healthy 2 plants is that the healthy ones were germinated via a 24 hr soak in a cup of water and then placed in a wet paper towel w/ plastic on top so the humidity stayed up. The 2 undamaged ones went directly into the paper towel/plastic/darkness. Oh, and my early damaged babies are in solo sups while the other two are in regular pots, essentially the same size as solo cups.
4) My last problem is more of a personal thing. Its simply, I have not been on riu for a very long time and Im rusty.
Sorry for the lenth, tellin ya all that comes into my mind.
Help me out, and thanks.
