Got any tips for faster growth?

[Cashmeh]

Ppm 200, ph 5.6, water temp 72, room low 70f high 76f. Trio nutrients, hydroguard calmag.

6 different strains custom hydro system. 2x4 veg room. I made this batch of nutrients on July 29th. I have only had to add around 2ml each of phup and down. It's pretty hands off, which is what I like.

Anyways it's a custom Fallponics and my plumbing is on top of the lid covered in mylar. Next batch I will plumb it under the lid.


These were seeds on Jul 26th.

What can I do to get faster growth. This seems pretty slow.

Looks good to me but I'm not a hydro guy. Are your water temps in check?

Maybe more light, but like Blue says, looks good.

Any hydro and soil growers here? How would you all compare this to a soil grow? Does anyone have a 27 day from seed plant grown in soil I can compare with? It just seems like its growing pretty fast when compared to all my other hydro systems. Like in 3 days it will have been 30 days since I started germinating the seed. Now the bottom right one, it was a dud, thats a new seed, and one week behind the other 5.

Maybe check out the diary section, should be able to find some pics.

Here is one in Organic Soil, Day 30 of Veg:

Yea idk how most count their day one. Alot of dudes don't count the first germination week, or the two weeks to clone.

I'll do some more searching.

The shorter internodes suggest that they're getting enough light, there's no stretching. They're growing outwards rather than upwards. I'd guess that there's a lot of blue in your light.

The res temp makes a difference to growth. Be careful though. Warmer = faster growth. A little bit too warm = root rot. If you're going to use an aquarium heater, do not trust its inbuilt thermostat. Set the heater to maximum and run it from a light dimmer. Or Inkbird if you want to be fancy. Either way, test it for temps before using it in the res.

Air bubbles under the roots will speed up growth. Gives an nft effect as the nutes touching the roots keep being changed.

This is a 4 week old from seed Barney's farm wedding cake Auto slung into 10 litres of mud and no feed yet
next to a messed up 6 week old

That's pretty good for soil man. If that's your grow props.

Had I not topped I think I'd have at least 2 of the 6 about that size at week 3? I know I placed germinated seeds in hydro system, July 29th. They sprouted up the following day, and opening their first set in the 31st.

My ppm started at 250 and has dropped down to 200. I am currently finishing up my flower room hydro system, it's a bit more complex, but should be pretty hands off too. But as soon as it's done in the next week or two, these will go in there and I'll start 6 more. Here's my design for those interested. It's great btw
