Going great. The grape kush is the most vigorous out of the 2 strains growing right now. Noticeably taller and bigger leaves w/ faster germination times. Day 7: plants are feeling the weight and some need support

The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?

Hey man, it’s time to move your light closer to the plants or vice versa. They’re probably stretching for light. can’t see a pic upload one. If you’ve got an adjustable ballast you can turn it down till they grow a little if not don’t lower it too far. 50cm will be fine, I’ve had my HPS much lower than that.

They are getting big but unfortunately 1 or 2 still have the weak stems and have to be supported. I looked at one and saw the stem base was thinner than the rest of it. I’ve had a few fungus gnats so I hope they aren’t chewing on it and everything goes well

They were transplanted into Fox Farms Coco Loco mixed with more perlite. I shouldn’t have to feed them for a while so until flower i probably won’t add any Soil A or B. Day 18: Cropped at 4th node, will be training them down soon Day 20: Trying my own version of Topping+Training in a zig zag pattern

These gals are still recovering from getting chopped and pulled down. Almost sounds like bdsm. But the lower branches are starting to come in. They are beginning to get real green and possibly show lockout. Not a fan of the tiny ass pots and coco loco soil. Day 26: I snapped a branched/topped stem on one of them. :/ had to trim the wilting leaves off that side and hope it heals back

They are loooking pretty darn good now, I was skeptical week 3 and 4 but the lights, co2 and nutrients are doing their job. I tied them down yesterday so they could fill the pot area. In 2 weeks I think I’ll flower.

I had something reeeeally detailed typed up but my iPad had a stroke. These were all growing so fast with the quantum boards and co2 that in 1 week i gained what I thought i would in multiple weeks. So I pulled the trigger iver flower otherwise the tent would be too full. My LST is what im really proud of honestly it looks like a mainlined plant. At least half the bud colas are gonna be all equally massive. Never done this whole flowering thing so I hope it doesn’t go sideways. There are 10 in the tent now and they will be joined by the straggler carrot top #8 and sundae Driver mom with the 135w hlg to keep em happy. Wish me luck and hit follow above. Day 1: Whoops! I don’t know why I didn’t listen to my intuition telling me not to use the whopping dose H&G has for flower week 1. Poor things are all looking a bit too greened out.

Day 8: They are starting to actually look like they are moving into flower with just the very earliest signs of where the buds/colas will come from. All 3 got a pretty nice trim today, making sure all buds clan get up to the light. When trimming they smell so good, like a sweet citrus or grapefruit. Way stronger than any smell coming from the carrot top.

Man flowering does seem to be happening slow. But they are getting their first white pistils and when a leaf breaks it smells dank. No outside smells yet though. Have been having some issues with bugs occasionally taking a nibble, but no outbreaks yet.
