Day 24 - Slow growth so far. Roots growing hopefully. May have had wind burn problems as fan was blowing directly on plants. Angled fan to side of tent and hopefully that will help. Gave a full feed today and soaked the whole planter. About 10% runoff. 3 days since I topped/fimmed and just cleared out some fan leaves to get some more light to the lower branches.
Day 27 - Raised the light up a little as with the new growth they were about 19" away from the light. Rotated them as well. Will start LST in next few days.
Day 29 - LST
If I understand, you're doing your first grow with an unknown strain , you don't even know if it is going to be stable, and what's the flowering period... ?
You're good for driving a NASCAR at night with no lights 😊
Man you did a great job on your topping and LST. You have the makings of a top-rate SCROG. I don't know if you even need to put a screen down though. All of those bud sites are in optimal position for massive flowering!👌👏👏👏
Thanks! I usually do some kind of scrog outside, but I think I'm just gonna let these ladies go. I've been controlling them with the ties and safety pins and that seems to be doing pretty well. I feel like I have a little more contol over the branches and I like being able to completely remove the plants from the tent. I was playing with the idea of doing an individual scrog in each planter if I was going to do anything. But I'm feeling lazy. Haha. And I just dont think they need it. Sometimes it's nice having more control over a small plant than monsters outdoors. They can become a little overwhelming. But at the same time, can be little less hands on...
Yeah too bad about Chemdawg. Any idea what the female bagseed is? Both plants look very similar.
You've really prepped these plants well for flowering. Now its time to let them go wild.
I used Nectar's sample pack on my last grow. I liked it. I'm using it on my two current plants as well. It's a little difficult to use on an auto. You don't have as much control.
@BlazedBeast, Thanks a lot for link! That was a lot of great information. I didn't understand the comments about Bloom Khaos though. It was kinda oddly written. I'm using Bloom as a foliar feed right now. I'm undecided whether to use it at the same time as I water/Feed, or the next day.
@Quexos,
No not yet. I'll have a better idea when it grows out a bit more or when I smoke it. Yeah, I'm a big fan the the NFTG! We've been using it outdoors for quite some time now and always see amazing results. Once you start getting used to it, you can dial it in a bit more. Those are just suggested ratios. If you haven't checked it out yet and want to continue with the NFTG, I would recommend checking this out. It gives a great breakdown of the product.

I just picked them up at the grow shop. GreenCoast Hydro is the place I've been going lately. You can order them online too. I think they ordered them in from sunlightsupply I think I'm using the 14" riser for a 5 gal fabric pot (12")
3 known strains ((2) Chem 4 and (1) Blue Dream, stability unknown) and 3 unknown. All bag seeds. Probably just gonna veg for 3 weeks or so and throw into flower. Figured I wouldn't use nice stuff for my first run, just in case. We'll see who germinates and what happens. Will use known genetics with better stability next time. Starting more than I need in case some don't pop. This is more of a hobby with a bonus than critical growing. I have outdoor growing experience but have never done an indoor grow.
@BlazedBeast,in the 90's bagseeds could be surprising, but now as most of the weed comes from Feminised or Auto's there's a high probability of growing hermies ...
It isn't that easy to grow good cannabis , you could have put more chances on your side with trusted genetics if you see what I mean...
Definitely have some sort of burn problem. Hoping its just lights. Noticed the lights were only 18 inches above plants. LED instructions recommend 24"-28". Guess i was a little too close. I raised it to 26". Could be too much feed as soil was already amended. We'll find out... Hopefully it stops.
