Our first ever grow.♧

You can feed just let the soil dry some.
Too much water when young will really stretch them out.
If possible, when watering go around the edge of pot to make the roots spread to get it.

I'm a hydro guy so I can't say for sure, but they're looking like they could use some nutes. Seems like the first set is yellowing a tad.

Right on. We'll try watering at the edges. Thank you!

How to Feed and Water Cannabis Plants - A Beginner’s Guide with Kyle Kushman #8​

This tube video was helpful to me about correctly watering the plants, plenty of wooden BBQ skewers to test your dry-back. Always feed your water lots and lots of oxygen, it performs that much better for the plants. 24-hour aeration is preferred. Aquaman taught us all about this back in the day. All you need is an aquarium pump, diffuser and the time.

We were planning on using an rv drinking water filter, and an aeration nozzle for watering once we have them in 5 gallon pots. Your way sounds better,especially for watering with nutrients,though.

That's what I was thinking, but this IS my first rodeo,man. We're going to park these Peet pots right in the soil in five gallon fabric pots tomorrow. That should help some, and we'll add some nutrients with the first watering in them. I'm thinking that should make them happy and green AF.

 

[pokesmotter]

They're not so yellowed in person! Put them in their big girl pants today. Holding off on any added nutrients until next watering in 2 or 3 days. With the soil blend we're using, they may not even be necessary until flower,though, I'm thinking.

[pokesmotter]

We're having good growth, with no shock from the move.
Cotyledon are still there, so holding off on nutrients awhile longer.

 

[Rootsruler]

Looking Good!

This is auto flower Mosca neon gummy. I water hard to an expert level, ya gotta.

Did you rip the bottom off the peat pot?
I would water as much outside the peat pot as possible to draw the roots through.
Making it wet outside the peat may help to soften it up.
IMO you can start feeding.
I would not wait till you see distress even on just the cotyledons.

I'll start notes on the next watering,then. I crosscut the bottoms of the Peet pots, and cut slots in the sides to make it easier for the roots to spread. I watered from the edges of the Peet pots toward the outside of the growbag, and we'll keep that up for the rest of the grow. Thanks again for the kindness, and sharing of your expertise.

Nutes not notes. Autocorrect.

PEETE'S pots will be nuted, noted.

 

[pokesmotter]

Everything seems to be going well. Starting to add nutrients next watering.

They've had a little rain in the past week, so watering and feeding had to be put off. We started them on Foxfarms nutes yesterday.
1.5 teaspoons each of Bigbloom,Growbig,and Calmag per gallon of water. Watered then 1/2 gallon per plant.
That was the amount it took until it started coming out of tge bottom if the pots.
There are some yellow spots on a few leaves,and something got to chewing on a couple.
I sprayed the pots pretty good with a mixture I use for personal bug repellant,and spread fresh rosemary leves on top of the soil.
It's made with essential oils,witch hazel,and water. I also lightly misted the plants and soil.
Hopefully the nutes will resolve the spotting. If bugs persist, we may fix up a Neem emulsion and mix with water to spray.

One of the things that@dragonsflamegenetics does is change up the contents of his antibug attacks. The bugs become immune. One of the tricks I learned from @moered is putting mosquito bits in the water to kill fungus gnats. Boy that really works, and also use procrop1 in the water. The last couple of waterings will be just rainwater. 1 reason for the notetaking is a solid base of knowledge for the next grow. I've heard it said weed makes you forg...

We're keeping a journal with notes on watering, and nutrient amounts. By mosquito bits,what do you mean?

Good stuff if gnats are an issue.

Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis. It has been used in mosquito control for more than 30 years.

That is the active ingredient of Mosquito Bits.

No further signs of nutrient deficiency, and no new insect damage. They're loving the Foxfarm nutes!

 

[pokesmotter]

Growing girls.

 

[pokesmotter]

They're really taking off. Nutes twice a week.

 

[pokesmotter]

Cleaned them up a little and started Lst on 3 of the mimosa.
The one being supported by a paint stirrer trid to snap, so she might be au natural. Letting our blue dream photoperiods grow a little, then we'll top and train them.
Dad is intrigued with idea of cloning,so it'll be a good time to experiment,I figure.
I'll post before pictures soon. Kind of forgot to upload them.
Also, the terpenes in Mimosa are insane! The big leaves I trimmed have a citrusy/peachy taste that will be put to use in the kitchen. Might make a pesto, and will definitely chiffonade some in sweet potato Curry.
What do y'all think,so far?

 

[pokesmotter]

Before.
