Hey guys, I was referring to the vien that runs through the leaves. On a couple of larger leaves it appears the vein is yellowing a little. I am probably paranoid (wonder why) and it is nothing. They have really hit a growth spurt since the transplant.
I do not have a ph meter. I know I MUST get one. After our cold specll where temps in closet dipped into the mid-50's two nights in a row, my temps have ranged between a low of 65c and a high of 78c. I expect the highs to start increasing as ambient temps rise this summer.
As to soil. My local foxfarm retailer is discontinuing foxfarm brands. This led me to purchase their last three 3-packs they had. I am not using them on this first grow as I am saving them for my better seeds next grow. On this grow I am using a Scott's Premium Potting Soil that has time released nutes in it good for four months. I know this is not recommended, but I had it laying around. It is a .07 - .01 - .03 mix designed for potted plants.
After reading Daihashi's post at lunch, I gave each plant 2ounces of water. The growth since then has been pretty good. After letting them dry out after initial transplant watering, I had given them an ounce of water a day.
Another thing to consider. I may have inadequate lighting. I have them under 6 26w 6500ks 1600 lumens each. I have twice that many watts/lumens for flowering but had initially planned to go through veg where I am. I really expected some attrition before flowering. Don;t want to jinx myself, but I think they are all going to make it to flowering. If that is the case, I am going to flower them as soon as the are mature enough.
Hope to have all females but want to prepare for 50%male. In any event, I cannot properly plan my space until I know how many females I am dealing with.
Sorry for the long post, but....
They have been in dirt for 2 weeks. Should I expect them to be mature enough for flowering at 4 weeks? I realize that would not be ideal. I may put them back into veg after sexing, but I am very anxious to get these plants sexed.
