Great weather for the 2 first days of germination, a little bit of rain for the third one. One seed didn't went out of the soil yet. If you have any advice, i will be glad to hear about it :) Day 3 - Great weather, a lot of sun, my plants are happy, so am i. All of my 3 seed sprouted so that's really cool. Just a yellow spot on the 2nd seed and i don't know where it come from. I don't want to put too much photo on my diaries so i think i will only show the daily evolution of 1 seed, and i will put pictures of the others if something strange happen :) Day 6 - Shitty weather, no sun, but it's growing pretty well so i think it's ok.

First couple weeks you just want to keep the soil moist. But as they grow you'll need to water more to keep them happy. Just watch your plant for signs. Its okay to let the soil dry out its actually recommended to let it dry so you don't get mold etc.. but what I do is I water until I have run off coming out the bottom of the pots. Water slow so the soil can soak it up evenly. And my plants go almost a whole week without having to water again. I have a "dummy" pot with dry soil in it so I can compare the weight. When the plant feels light like the dummy pot its time to water Hope I could help. Enjoy your grow

Some plants with show a little purplish in it's new growth, especially as a young plant. Nothing to worry about. It should green out as it continues to grow.

They look fine did you sprinkle mycorrhizae to the root when transplanting? And usually as long as you don’t over water them in the big pot they will start growing again in a fee days but if you over water them they will be stunted, just try to give them the same amount you have been giving them for a few days then slowly increase the water with their size. Should be good

-Very good weather this week, i can see the plant growing everyday. I keep feeding them with biobizz nutrients, the outdoor pack. Everything is good, i hope it will keep growing this way ! I'm going to begin LST in few days. I don't really know how to do this so if you have any advices ! So i start LST today, i did hole in my pot and put some gardening wire on my plant. After only 3 hours they were already looking at the suns. Everything is great for now :) i'm just wondering how many grammes does this first grow is going to make.

Yes, I would begin LST now. Next time I would start sooner but you are still OK, just be slow and careful. First, have some tape handy. If you break a stem be careful to not break it completely off. If it is still partially connected you can wrap the break with tape for a couple weeks and it will usually grow back. When you do your training remember that the main stem is more stiff and brittle now. I would wire that base of the stalk so it stays vertical. Then GENTLY bend the plant to the side and wire in place. You might not get as far as you want but it is OK to bend it a bit further each day until you get what you want. I like drilling holes around the top of the pot and run my wires to the pot. The pot provides a solid anchor point and the wires don't pull out of the soil.

Yes at 45 degrees towards the north in an outdoor setting. Take the plant stem under lowest leaves. Just wiggle it gently back and forth further and further, between thumb and finger and see that you get more 'sway' everytime. When in the desired angle, I use a stick to guide the stem en tie the top down if I have to. The stick gives it support the first days. From there keep folding out and supppercrop the branches when they grow out.

Yeah looks perfect, but because edge is high you cant go further. See if its bend towards the north. I would next time put a little more soil, you have a nice big container and half filled. Keep in mind that airflow will not easily reach soil so it can get watterlogged more easely and the container itself is not of the breathing kind so I would watch the rains and manage water... Good luck hope for a great summer!

Hey ! So i'm still trying LST for this first grow. I did hole in my pot and put my plant in the good position ( i think ) with garden wire. I'm giving them water with nutrients every 3 days. Everything seems to go pretty well. I hope it will continue. I think my plant will begin their flowering stage next week. I will keep you in touch. 🙌

Hi mate, your LST is looking great! Good exposure to the lower leaves! She is currently showing gender (female obviously 😝) so it's a sign that she is sexually mature and will be flowering very shortly! She would be classed as in pre-flower. Looking at her I'd say about a week or so and she will be in flower! The best bit 😏 Hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your grow 🙂

I'm not overly familiar with your nutes as only used them once or twice. But I noticed your using fish mix and a bloom. You may have been better using a veg nutrient while in veg.
