At what point would you say I should turn on the 400w lighting? Kinda thinking when I start to see pistils, for minimal heat stress for the seedlings Also I started feeding with 0.5ml pr litre of water, planning on gradually upping the dose weekly or so. 2/3 opened and fed.
I planted today, straight in 5gal plastic buckets. Using plastic bags as dome, will remove them as soon as the 3 seeds sprout. Starting with 250w, about 3ft away.

Ok so today is day 8 since they sprouted, two of them popped up at 2.5 days, and the third one the next day, very happy with that. They are doing well, not much to complain about. Only thing is that pheno #1 sprouted first, stretched the furthest, and has the thinnest stem (I did lower the light a bit). So I am begging for it to fatten up before they all finish producing their second set of serrated leaves, which they are closing in on. Might have to find something to support it with.
Should I start upping the grow side of GH Coco duo by the 14 day mark? 3rd nodes are now in the early stages of being developed. Have seen nothing but straight green leaves.
Hello yes you can begin to increase the grow nutrient if your plant accept it. If not you will see it quicker so give her the previous dose. Do you follow the schedule for GH grow ? If yes and they say increase you can do it but always pay attention to the reaction of your plant because each plant is different and doesn't accept the recommand schedule. Good luck my friend.

Day 20, about 20cm wide and 15cm tall, they have been bushing out! 4th nodes are on their way. Was recommended I start upping the grow side of coco GH nutrient duo at three weeks, so thinking I try that when I wake up. Stems have fattened up a bit too.
Q: I'm going to lst weekly, when should I begin?
I kinda start LST right from the beginning. As a seedling with only cotyledons I’ll use my fingers to push the stem around enough to kind of nudge it about. Once leaves start coming out I gently spread the leaves and continue the pushing of the stem. It helps promote good stem strength that will build a strong plant that will be able to hold itself up in flower without falling over because it’s packed on too much bud weight.
The earlier you manipulate your plant the easier it will be to shape kind of the way you want. If that makes sense.
Bit if you’re trying to LST a plant that the stems are already a bit heftier than what a seedling is. Just take your time. Introducing a slight bend and then over time tighten it down a bit more and a bit more. Don’t try to bend it all in one go.
You got yourself a nice little plant there. Good luck with your grow. 🤙
They look just fine don't they? I mean a few top leaves have suffered some heat stress, and some leaves can seem a bit droopy for some reason (definitely not from overwatering). But the RH is only 30-35%, I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with that, lack of preferred RH.
Hey there , you're actually right about the humidity. the relationship between humidity and temperature is determined by VPD, right now with your temperature at 23 the best would be a humidity of 55% , or if you hold the humidity so low then raise your temperature up to 25-27°C . VPD is a really good way to evaluate where you stand on this. hope this helps ! 🚀
Flowering is on, two plants showed pistils a few days ago while third one showed today. I upped bloom nute dose to half strength preflowering.
At the very end of day 27 rn. Got hold of some string and started LST around week 3, gently bending every few days and as it grows bigger, not touching any budsites. Tallest one is almost a foot high, curious as to how much they will stretch, they're supposed to reach a minimum of 3 feet so, yeah I guess we'll see :) Faint but distinct super sweet dreamy smell from the first one that started flowering

Day 30. I tied down main branch for the second time today, pointing another direction from the first string, trying to make a table packed with budsites. Veg nutes are as high as they're gonna get right now, they'll stay there for I don't know really, some time into flowering? A couple weeks? Maybe boost bloom nute 4 weeks into flower?? that is 20 days from now (day 8 rn first pheno)

Day 35! Five weeks, almost two weeks into flower. Third pheno still got some catching up to do tho, but they all look very healthy. I am getting worried about their final height potential, they shouldn't stretch for much longer, will they? Please, I'd like to know in the comments. I am getting lotta tops from the low stress training, on the other hand. Expecting stacked dense buds along all the main 5-6-7 (so far) top colas. Main stems have fattened up alot, about 1cm thick now
I'm having this issue all of a sudden. Two of my pots are not draining nearly as much as the third. The medium was mixed all in one and then distributed to three pots, and I mixed thoroughly. Are they just drinking that much more cause of flowering? And why isn't the third one?
So yes they do drink more during the flowering phase. Your root systems by now have been established and can clear moisture out of them quicker. Check the holes in your pots to make sure there un obstructed and if they are stab it with a screw driver or something. If you have heavy pots don't water and wait for your container to dry out. If you have a light pot then by all means water away. I'll give you an example of my 3 gal set up. In veg I will probably put max 4 liters in at a time and I only do it once per week. However in flower I can easily put 6 liters in.
Day 45! They seem to be thriving, no issues other than couple traces of burned tips (thinking nitrogen toxicity or heat) on maybe 2-3 single leaf blades. Minor heat stress, cause of the brand new light has bugged me a bit, there are some mild curling. But I am adjusting light height all the time. I plucked 4-6 leaves on all three plants day 40/18, two days they showed new growth, so I decided on day 44 to defo #3 again cause it is the most bushy. Only took 5 leaves, I am assuming that is a very safe amount to remove?
Decreased grow nutes and increased bloom on day 37, half strength as have been all the way, now they're cruising until flush.
I'm not saying that I am, but what if I was (stupid), and clocked one of these tiny little toddlers off. would I get any noticable thc at all? Currently day 26 that particular quick pheno. If no, then when?
Thanks
You wanna take a bud off dry it smoke it? Is that what I’m understanding you want to do?
If that’s the case. No no. Do not take any bud that is not ripe. Patience my friend. Wait and enjoy something good.
According to the breeder you’re looking at a 8-10 week flowering period. 56-70 days.
I doubt you’d even get high off of anything right now anyway.
Ok so it has been two weeks, currently late on day 59. 19 days left on the minimum flowering period on the two with the most buds so far. Trichomes are coming in heavy. Smelling the potency increasing.
Smallest plant (most efficient) is at about 70cm, while the other two kept stretching well past the 4 week mark, which surprised me, and are now about one meter both of them. They are far too close to the 400w light, but there are no major signs of heat stress, they have been that close for maybe two weeks now. Some minor clawing is all I can see. So I'm thinking I'll just let it be and keep bending branches as far as they'll go. My mic stand (light stand) won't go any higher..
Accidentally cropped the main branch of one of them, but it bounced right back up when I gave it a push. We'll see how much that cost me in a few weeks.

Day 74.
Supercropped 4 tops late week 9, stupid right? I was pleasantly surprised to see new growth on both plants after 2-3 days.
I have had some nute burn issues, combined with heat stress. Brown spots have started to appear even on a few sugar leaves.. I gave only water for 5 days to try to give my girls some time to recover. Instead of water/feed/water/feed I plan to try water/water/feed for the remaining time 'till flush. Also I had to find three chairs to put my light stand on top of, to at least spare the slowest one. It's really weird that the smallest and fastest developing phenotype started flowering the same day as the slowest. Those two are supposed to be done within 5 to 12 days, but there is no way that is happening, with either of them. Anyway, the smell is beyond paradise! Cannot wait! But I will.

Day 60 flower on the two most developed. Should be right about done by now, but as you can see nute burn has been a pain lately. Anxious to find out how much longer they'll need to mature. Buds on the smallest one with the fattest flowers look thick, but they are waay too fluffy compared to the other equally developed plant.
I have only fed twice the last 10 days, to try to combat the nute problem. Thinking I should go down from half dose to 1/3 the rest of flowering, with a bit more normal feeding frequency, to avoid starving them in these last couple/few weeks.
Second video is of a small bud I cut off low on the smallest plant. Not mature at all, but it still blew me away. The high was wonderfully balanced. Most of all the taste, was incredible. Even after I dried it for 6 hours on my heating radiator on top of cardboard. Makes me think of how insane it will be when matured, dried and cured like it is supposed to. Just hoping it will fatten up a bit, at least the pistils are starting to come along.
I already have a descent idea how and when to harvest, so I don't really need the full trichome and pistil schooling. But in your experience, how far away are these from fully mature buds? Guess I just want a second opinion. Will they dense up any more? Photos is of two phenos
Hmm, cant say for sure as im more outdoor experienced but even i can tell they will fatten up more than this. If it was me Id wait a week maybe 10 days and re assess then. They look amazing but like teenage buds, not quite mature yet, still kinda skinny looking. They at the "I think they almost ready but they not" stage for sure. Thats gonna be some potent bud thou.
Long time. Day 106 from seed, flowering into eternity because of silly feeding mistakes. But at least I now have a bit of some incredible weed, harvested one plant day 101. Even though I'm sure it would have been even better with a perfect life cycle. 40 grams, trimmed to their bare bones. Was I expecting more? Yes, but given my mistakes, and the fact that it must be at least top 3 in my 8 year long cannabis career, I am nothing but thrilled with the outcome.
The one thats gonna be my biggest yielder is also the slowest one, by far. Guessing around 3 more weeks.. If it doesn't die on me, it has a coverage of yellow leaves which makes me slightly nervous.
Its done! Even though I expected a higher yield, I'm happy with my first harvest. It could have gone worse. Got 61 grams of the biggest plant, it took eternities, but the yield is pretty decent for a first grow.
Thanks WSE! Next up will be Strawberry kush and Harlequin.
