I actually have 4 seeds and 3 are in soil after having the taproot grow to almost an inch. Faster than I anticipated. Will be repotting the girls later tonight.

Girls are on day 4 of being in their forever pots, 5 gal. I am a noob and over watered my plants, thus the curled leaves and I had a very small amount of mold on Dorothy's soil. Removed it with a spoon and did a good search for how often and where to water. Watered the whole soil, not just near the roots. I will be waiting until the soil is dry before watering going forward and I'm hoping the girls will get to 100 percent health. My grow tent comes tomorrow and they will be transferred into the tent with grow lights and a fan. Rn I have a basic house light on them which I'm thinking will stunt them initially. Hopefully the grow light brings the girls all the way to life I will update with them in the grow tent tomorrow. Also my 4th seed officially never grew a taproot, so RIP Sophia 😥Please leave any and all tips, as I am walking blind and depending on a few websites for my advice.

So far there has been a learning curve.. I am learning both bloom and veg light should be on and I DEFINITELY learned about "stretching". I added more potting soil and straightened them gently so that they can be supported. I will monitor the girls through the week to see what effects changing the light to both bloom and veg have. Fingers crossed! Will update later in the week. Update 10.24.21 Corrected the stretching/bending issue and the girls seem to be growing pretty quickly now 😎😁

10.29.21: So looks like I have a ph problem or possibly a nutrient deficiency.. Will correct the ph and laying off the feeding for a little bit. I have fox farm soil so maybe I didn't need to add nutrients yet. Let's see what happens over the weekend. 11.3.21: I am about 99 percent sure my ph is the problem among my girls, switched to distilled water and will soon have a ph kit to test. Also thinking about doing LST today to start the process, hoping I don't stress the girls out. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

I have a few leaves showing signs of ph issue, should I cut those leaves off now or wait until they die off?

Hey plants looking good. Those leaves aren't burnt that bad. I wouldn't cut them yet unless it's part of the way you prune. It's just the edges and they will still work as they are supposed to. Just keep the ph in check and she will be fine. Good luck happy growing.

This week I focused on flushing the root system and not adding any nutes. I will feed them on 11.11.21 half strength. White hairs have started to grow on Rose.. I wonder if this means she's in prebloom?

The girls are now showing pre flowers and white hairs throughout the plant. One is further along then the others but not by much. I decided to switch the lights to a 12/12 schedule and have fed them with a light dose of nutes. I can't believe how fast they are growing! 😁

12.12.21 2 of the 3 are growing pretty fast towards harvest, I will take pics of the slow poke soon. Debating whether or not I'm ready for harvest due to only being in the budding phase for 4 weeks, though the white hairs are turning amber and the buds are literally shining in light. Will update soon.

So though the buds on two of my plants are swelling and the white hairs are turning amber, I'm not sure if I'm ready for harvest I would like to wait a little longer to allow the max swell I can get for my buds. Pics show the main cola and some smaller buds. Thanks!

Hmm, still a lot of ripening to do from what I can see, you can never be sure without looking at the trichomes through a loupe at several points of a plant, temperatures over 86 will degrade the trichomes prematurely so if the top of the canopy is ready the various other parts of the plant may not be, good to remember there is no right or wrong time to harvest just different ratios based on preference. The latter stages of flowering are mostly ripening and so late in the game with no seed the female seeks to turn production towards terpenes to attract animals/insects from a further distance that may bring with it pollination, temperatures should be dropped and no higher than 67 during very late stages of flowering as terpenes such as myrcene degrade above 67,
