Welcome to my Damn Sour Diary. Sponsored by Green House Seeds/feeding & Mars Hydro Led Lights/Tents.
Veg days 15-20 Grow is moving along. She got nice and big leafs on day 19. And well, her nodes just weren't growing. So took.a few of the leafs I noticed were growing the quickest and removed them. Also by doing this. It's now exposed them nodes to light and hopefully the energy the leafs were using will get those moving. Trying new things out on fems on defoliation after reading this from a friend. (https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-flowering-stage-defoliation-tutorial)
If you just put that in, you'll see how to get big long colas but if you go down the list on the dif pages it brings up. You'll see other stuff on defoliation to help get fems moving. Can also be applied to autos. (But be warned they tend to do there own thing) so go easy on them, do say 50% on them 1 day give a little rest, (not too long) as they autos things need to be done quick. I feed every 2 days. As my mix is mainly coco as even the soil is light mix and half of what they put into that is coco. So, I get away with feeding every 2 days. As these are young. And don't drink a whole lot. You'll see my pour pattern. I don't dampen the whole thing. Roots need to breath at this stage in life. But to must wet the bottom of the pot (generally I just pour down the side of my pot and twist and when water is on all sides and coming out of holes I know the roots will feel the moisture mixed with good dry soil in the middle they'll reach out. And they'll find a way. As she gets bigger. She'll be drying herself out even after a full surface sub pour. As my older fems dry out every 24hrs. But youngsters can take a long time to dry out. And growth will be slow as roots can't breath.
(I've many youngsters stuck in poxy 1.7L pots and they just won't dry out. I just don't have the room to uppot them until I pull out my some ready autos) so you won't see this method been used throughout most of my young grows. So my point as there is one. Just plant your seedlings in at least a 5L pot giving you the ability to let some of it stay dry by doing pour points

She's looking quite promisingππ»
Too bad for your veg tent situations, good thing you found the nesting soil.. from now on you should be saving money on gnat traps.. unless they are a silent sponsor of yours ππ
Happy growing brother
