A shot from this morning.

A shot from this morning.

It's funny the two that aren't shedding their seeds are:
#1 of 16 to sprout - the one that looks like a duck bill
#6 of 6 to sprout - leaves popping out yet barely

Also since then I topped off the solo cups with more soil to help cover the stretch

PAR Reading

PAR Reading

Here is a quick video from the person building my lights testing out PAR for my 4000k COBS which are on my light.

https://youtu.be/Xg9lsBZt3FI

It's packaged as you can see below and will be arriving this week.

Another picture he sent me was how many cobs i could fit on this light as you see in image but that would be overkill LOL.
He also said I can add another array on there which I might down the road for sure.

Thanks everyone for following might update tonight with my seedlings.

Hey Everyone,

They broke through the soil on St. Paddy's Day so hopefully this is going to be my lucky Grow!!

They are doing well and I feel over the last couple of days have really started to speed up on the growth.

I was watering about a 1/4 cup of water per solo cup every 2 1/2 - 3 days and now they seem to be wanting that every 2 days which is nice to see

(PH 6.5 is what i used but it had to be lowered from 9.1 with organic lemon juice)

Probably by next weekend i will be transplanting them into 2 gallon containers for 3 weeks and then in their final 15 gallon smart pot!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Quick updated picture from this morning.

They are going to be going into 2 gallon pots probably by the weekend.

I am going to be making more soil tomorrow and it will cook for 3 weeks and then I will move my girls from the 2 gallon into their 15 gallon smart pots with the exception of 2 of them which will be going into a 20 gallon smart pot and moved come flower time into a veg tent for further vegging / cloning and then flowering after the first four are done

Have a great day Everyone!!!!

Update: pictures and herbal tea treat

Update: pictures and herbal tea treat

Good Day Fellow Cannabis Enthusiasts,

It's been awhile since I made a post so I thought it was time.
They are now in their 2 gallon homes in their tent with 3 little clip fans moving air and my 6" intake fan on low - randomly throughout the day.

I've been having trouble getting my humidity and temperature up considering my plants are still small and my light produces no heat. (40% rh & 22 degrees celcius)

I just finished feeding my plants the following concoction:
2 cups E/W/C + 2 Tablespoons of Organic molasses + pinch of kelp meal + pinch of yeast in a nylon sock. Put into 4.5 gallons of Aloe water with an air stone and bubbled for 46 hours.

I also have some barley sprouting at the moment which should be ready for the next watering for some barley sst

In the next 3-4 weeks I will be getting a 2x4 veg tent and LED COB 4 light array for that tent.
Open to suggestions for tents

Have a great day everyone and thanks for following along.

Update Time:
The plants are doing well but I am open to feedback as this is my first ever grow.
I now have my light (which is still missing an array and getting fixed... should have been in on Friday... anyways... lol) on 11/11 for power so it's shooting the full amount of light at the moment but I still have it 3 feet away.
(I was told to leave it here if they aren't reaching for the light but I have no idea)

RH: 48% - need a humidifier as my intake fan lowers it down to 40% and i can't get up to the 50-70% that's best for Veg.
Temp: 22-25 degrees Celcius

The soil is still damp but in a few days when it's watering time I have brewed up some Barley SST which is frozen in ice cube trays in the freezer at the moment.

Super excited to add my other array of lights once it's back in my home!!

Please be gentle on Scraggles - she is the spindly looking one. She shed her seed later than the rest and took awhile to get going. She also only grew half of a leaf but seems to be picking up speed now

Looking for feedback, comments and company.

Question:
1. When does one start training their plant - I was going to move into 15 gallons in 2 more weeks then was going to start - that too late? - Doing Scrog individual 2x2 metal screens.
2. When does one start topping their plant?

All the very best and thank you!

Super Cropped & Topped First Attempt

Super Cropped & Topped First Attempt

Okay so I topped 3 plants this morning before leaving for work. (I made sure to sterilize before making the cut)
Then I went in about an hour ago when they woke up and also super cropped one of them (by pinching the stem till it bends - hope i did that right)

Pictures are attached but please leave me your feedback as I am learning every day and I am trying new things to compare and learn.
This has been such an exciting ride and its just begun

Please leave me your feedback advice etc..
Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!

Oh man they look so good.
Looking forward to see how they turn out.

HazePhase · Apr 12, 2017

I will be posting tonight an update but here is from this morning.
Now lesson learned as I am a newb but after topping them i tied them down which i found out you do one or the other.

So they were tied down for 3.5-4 hours and then untied them last night - this morning they were back and perky

lesson learned.

Once your two new top branches Grow out you can tie em down. You can top em again too. End up with nice squarish bushes

Plants look great tho man!

Sweet will do!
Is it normal for them to slow down after topping them as they don't seem to be growing as fast as they were before i did this?

Assuming a bit of shock?

1. I wait until my girls are atleast 1-1.5 ft tall before doing any Low Stress Training.

2. I top when it's necessary only to keep the height of the plant down or to buy more time.
For example I topped a plant approx a month ago and its already back to where it was before looking like a shriub.

In response to recovery time for after topping below with no quote......in my experience.
Mine take about a week or 2 to get over being beheaded. It does or potentially can stress your plants out.

Keep up the good work homie. :biggrin:
