So let me see if I got this right? I should water normal amount without recharge and then water again with recharge?

They look about right to me. They are growing underground they need a way to feed more top growth before it grows.

I use it the way the makers of it say to use it:
The wrong way is to add Recharge to your water/nutes and give to plants when they need water, which is what Iāve been doing for months LOL.
The right way (from dudegrows - the guys that make it)
For best coverage, apply Recharge solution to your media after itās been watered and not when it needs to be watered. The microbes will disperse through the media better when itās already wet.
Using Recharge During The Vegetative Growth Stage:
Vegetative Stage Usage Rate:Mix 1 tsp (5 g) of Recharge per gallon of solution.
Vegetative Stage in Coco/Soilless: Use 6-8 ounces of Recharge solution around the base of each stalk once or twice a week with little or no runoff. Recharge should not be used with irrigation or in hydroponic reservoirs.
Iāve also been phāing after adding Recharge, wrong again, they say ph adjust before adding Recharge.

Ok, I went into my tent to check my 3 plants. Yesterday I watered plant 3 with recharge. This was the first time I used this stuff. All I can say is Recharge is some bad shit. The plant I watered was about a day behind my other 2 plants and now itās about a day ahead. This is in just a 24 hour period. Today I watered my other 2 plants with it. Canāt wait until tomorrow to see how they react.
I did make a rookie mistake when I planted the seeds. I planted 2 blue dream seeds and 1 gorilla glue. I got in a hurry and didnāt label the cups. Now I donāt know which plant is what. Hopefully when they flower I will be able to tell the difference.

You will probably be able to tellā¦ Maybe not till flower, but I think you would be able to tell earlierā¦ And I agree. Recharge is crack cocaine for plants lol

10 days. I had to add some dirt around one, it was wanting fall over if I moved the cup. I am going to start adding silica with the next watering. Hopefully it will get stronger.

I did the same thing. Watering a couple times and the soil settles, and one had looong legs so I added soil to the rim of the solo cup. Made the young plant stand on its own and was able to keep them in the cup a little longer too.
edited to add: And funny thing is the long legged girl is now the runt of the groupā¦go figure.

Looks like you could add a little more soil to all the cups, itāll help them to keep standing up straight.
Looks great for 10 days!

Do the leaves look ok on my plants. The color on the plant thatās in the front left of the picture looks like it might be a little off. But this is my first grow so Iām not sure.

Looks like you may have gotten water/nutes on a couple of the leaves. I wouldnāt worry about it too muchā¦they look good for 10 days.

Well itās day 11 and for the most part they are looking good. I am a little concerned about plant 3. The leaves are drooping. They have done this before but then came out of it. This is the same plant that was falling over and I added some soil to it yesterday. I donāt think Iām over watering it. I did water it today with silica, but it hadnāt been watered since Sunday. The cup was light today. Good thing is it is still growing so I guess I will just have to wait and see how it goes.
