Closet Grow 1st Run

Hello. Got a free seed of this one I'm going to try next. Wanted to see how it grows. Chuck.

Looks great - good job! ❤️👍

Congrats on getting into growing this AMAZING plant. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1. This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. When we are in flower, Our temperatures will play a big role in how our buds finish. If our lights on temps are too cold bellow 75F we will get smaller bud formations but they will be very dense & very caked with resin. If we grow out our buds at temps over 80F with lights on, We will get larger bud formations but with A LOT of strains they will finish very airy & can end up fox-tailing a lot. Another issue is that temps over 80F will slowly degrade and defuse resin glands which is where all our terpenes and cannabinoids are. So generally lights on temps of 75-79 are best I find. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. Since you are right at the start of the journey, I recommend hoping over to our youtube and checking out our VERY detailed tutorial series. The first 6 episodes are out right now covering all the fundamentals & first 4 weeks of plant life care. Episode 7 will be out shortly so you got time to subscribe & get caught up, I look forward to seeing you over there friend! Also we have a tutorial series grow diary that is also part of the whole package. Our youtube is linked off of our main grow diaries profile! Happy growing friend!

What did you use for nutrients? If you don't mind me asking

Your ladies are looking very nice 👍🏾
