Okay, so I didn’t think this seed would actually terminate as it was a joke. I didn’t use the cup of water and seed soak technique. I just planted it directly into some dollar tree soil I got for my kitchen window garden. So because the soil was so cheap, I didn’t even expect the seed to sprout. So I figured I’m going to grow it and see what I produce.
I’m not sure if the picture I chose uploaded, but the other plants in the picture are bell pepper plants.
I can have them basically touching and there be no heat produced. My only concern is that they’re retail bulbs. Like the bulbs you’d use in a ceiling fan. I’ve noticed other plants I’ve grown/am growing all respond different to th light. But the ganja just remains unaffected either way. I just don’t wanna be giving them too much light. I downloaded a LightMeter on my phone to gauge it. Just don’t trust it that much. But .5” away from the bulb, the phone reads 100K lux.
That’s so crazy you mentioned the kitten poster I have that on my wall haha. But yeah that’s what I figured which is why I didn’t even use any nutes. But I’m hopeful now.
If it's a photoperiod, there won't be any overpowers until about a week after the 12/12 lighting switch. Sometimes our magic beans will show sex ("hairs" or "balls"). sometimes in flower you'll even notice them start to "herm" out and begin growing pollen sacks or stigmas growing out from the buds themselves, So, Keep a lookout for this possibility.
I've got 2 in my tent right now, one I let veg. for 8wks. and the other vegged for 9wks. I'm 3gal. smart pots.....ended up having to transplant those smart pots in to bigger plastic containers (fabric pot and all) to make sure there as enough room for flowering growth.
Use the back of your hand as a gauge for how close you can get your baby to those bulbs, pay attention to the leaves, if they begin to curl inward (kind of) rambling a "canoe"....distance the light a lil more.
The new growth you've noticed at the stalk is the start of branching on your baby, within the next couple of weeks you should start seeing a bit of (or explosive) growth coming on.
It's like that poster with the lil kitten......Hang In There! If you replanted with miracle grow potting mix; No need to water with nutes for a couple weeks, comes loaded with time release beads.
