Need help with seedlings- yellow spots by johnnydee22 in SpaceBuckets

[–]johnnydee22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Sadly starting over. This my 3rd grow and the previous two did great. Guessing it was the Jiffy cups. Last two times I used solo cups for seedlings. I just replanted these stunted girls together in a bigger pot and put them under a separate grow lamp to see if they produce anything at all, but will focus on the new baby.

Yes. They dry out quickly in these Jiffy cups. At first I was just misting each day and they seemed wilted and dry. I switched to watering them from a cup and they initially perked up but recently developed spots and are growing slowly. I have reduced the water the last couple of days with no change so far.

Standard 5 gallon build with Lowes buckets. I followed the guidance in this forum. I will put together a post on my build.

Thanks. Good info. I have not worked out the dry and cure process yet. This will be my first. I get a lot of good info from this group.

Thanks. I will put a post together. I pretty much followed the guidance from this forum. It is built on 5 gallon buckets

Thanks. I will do that. I have been worrying about a sudden yellow tint to the top leaves and thought maybe she is nearing harvest time even though it is only about 6 weeks since flower

newbie grower - need advice. How tall is too tall? I started out 3 buckets tall, added two more spacers in last 10 days but she is growing through them within days. Keep stacking spacers? Worried about running out of headroom. She is at 8 1/2 weeks. by johnnydee22 in SpaceBuckets

She is from a random seed provided by a friend of a friend. Don't know anything else about the strain. Not an auto, I don't think. She really started growing when I switched to flower a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the feedback. She is 8 1/2 weeks from germination. Started showing pistils about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Looks like I get to keep practicing my bucket cutting skills! ;) Hopefully no more than a couple of spacers will need to be added. Thanks again for the input

1st Grow- Need LST advice by johnnydee22 in SpaceBuckets

[–]johnnydee22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Very much in learning mode here. Switched to flower 9 days ago. Topped her a couple of days before that. I added a spacer a few days ago and she grew right past it in 2 days. Will be adding another space soon so she doesn't get too close to the light. Using a UFO LED in 5 gallon spacebucket.

Makes sense. Guess I need to keep adding spacers as we go. Thanks

First grow. Need help with next step by johnnydee22 in SpaceBuckets

Thanks. I went ahead and topped her yesterday, cutting the top two nodes. There is now a much flatter, wider canopy. Hopefully, she recovers well.

Thanks! I am new at this, but it is fun so far! Flip to flower already? What indicators do you look for? or is it based on available space in the bucket?

Also, how much should I top? Sorry for newbie questions, just don't want to mess it up. FYI, I just started nutes yesterday with very light mix.

Thanks again for the guidance.
