Water Pur faucet filtered mineral water. Comes out ph 9 and I lower it with either vinegar or an old Dr Pepper. To ph 6-7.
Soil: The coir was thoroughly rinsed then perlite added with some compost that looks like mud. The compost was under a huge tree and had no lid. I think bird poop is the cause of the nitrogen burn on the new plants. So I had to rinse them out very well. Hence the overwatering.
The smaller ones are all same birthday but some were transplanted which stunts the growth. I’m a firm believer in straight to soil planting. I’ve never germinated.
Feed: miracle gro 10-52-10 mixed 30:1 watered everytime. And water using the directions once a month.

What do you mean I should use compost or fertilizer? And perlite is for evaporation right?
The best looking one is just regular potting soil I just put a layer on top. I want a light meter to see if it is even close to hid. It’s just hid is so hot. I’ve no doubt it would be 150 in there with a 1000w hid. That and ac just can’t afford it. Since, it is supposed to be certain temp. I’ve got a tent which would do a lot to keep heat loss out of the room but you still need an in-line fan and outtake fan in your roof for it to be feasible. It’s not flowering yet so I’m pretty sure it’s not autoflower which either ppp northern lights or blue mystic. Honestly wouldn’t mind some more of that. But this plant has crystals on the leaves and is already sticky. The other wasn’t until the end. Plus this one is more frangrant already smells. Oh yeah and the particulates after a 5 stage pur faucet filter will be minimal. Why do you Think the minerals get added back in after 5 stage filter. So hopefully since that soil sat for a while and cooked it will work better on the seedlings. If not I’ll just buy potting soil. And I got the correct equipment this time for I wonder how big a plant I get with just the soil in those small pots. I forgot I kill everything I move.

Are you saying straight coir is hydroponics? Because I thought hydro were the red Rubbermaid tub with like 8 holes bored in the lid with a spigot hot glue gunned to the bottom.  I have never heard str8 coir as hydro before. I thought it was those rock things. Miscommunication of sorts maybe?
Edit so I’m doing both hydro and soil at the same time. Now?

I don’t want to touch it but can uv (edit) light be harmful to roots?

In the last two pics, it looks like they are already flowering.  Most likely autoflowers.

Running autos and photos in the same area presents an obstacle that you must pick a path around.  Autos do best with longer light cycles, photos as you know flower on 12/12.  I'd probably focus on the photoperiod plants for now.

When you flip will depend on how tall your grow space is, some plants stretch 2-3x during the first 3 weeks of flower.  If you wanted to flip now you'd get a lower yield, but the longer you wait the more difficult it becomes to keep the plant healthy through flower, especially while you're still figuring stuff out.

Very solid advice 

I would actually do the opposite though,  and focus on the autos. 

Since he already has autos flowering,  it would be detrimental to them to put them under 12/12 just to get that photo-period plant to flower.

I'd run the lights 24/7 or 20/4 and get the most that I could out of those autos,  since they are already stunted.

That photo plant can be cut back a million times to keep it small until you are ready to flower it,  if need be.

For instance,  this was a mother plant,  that I decided to just flower. It kept getting pretty big, so all I did was cut it back by half when it got too big.

I also root pruned it a couple of times too. Needless to say, I need to smoke badly, so after that last cut back,  I just decided to flower it. I wont get much but it will be a treat until the real fun begins this spring 


This all being said,  Cannabis can remain in vegetative growth for years, and be cut back tons of times until you are ready to flower them

Every time I prune. I end up messing it up. But I will keep you posted. Nothing much has changed mainly because I don’t have goggles and the vivosun is. BRight.  H2O2 does work for killing off egg infestations. It just takes multiple treatments and doesn’t seem to affect the plants. If anything I think they grew faster. Edit yeah I topped like 3 nodes in and then again after that.

Use little nail scissors, they work great for pruning

I made compost for growing gourmet edible mushrooms.it’s written on top which is which but I was testing what works best as sub. Almost straight millet or half millet half oatmeal. They aren’t pinning because. They are gourmet. Still need to finish em and have blue oyster and shhittake fresh.
Edit more. If they were cubes. that done atleast brf cakes would be pinning the cake down. All grown from agar.

Those look great man

[url=https://files.growery.org/files/g24-009/932503284-IMG_0848.jpg]I guess it’s got two extras just on the side of plant easiest to access. Idk if I rotated and topped over there. But I’m gonna try my hand out on some cloning. This thing needs pruned and cut way back. Just to keep all the plants the same height. So I think that is what I will try till I get about 6 clones.

It’s old enough I think the last pic. Would be flowering and a shot of my cracked corn autoflower I’m still trying to talk to the company for.

Are those balls? Mayhap, it is auto flower. here are some hairs though and I’m def smelling pot when I come back from the store. But the autos are ok. Except I tried topping one and you cannot top autos. They grow side ways.

---

You can top autos, I do it all the time   

It all just depends on when you do it and the strain. Some autos respond to topping better than others though.

I also don't think that those are male flowers either. I had some on my flowering plant just like that, and they shot out pistils.
