Farmer_Plaps This is my first time doing any of this and it's a lot to learn. Setup is a 4x2 tent in a closet. Germinated in paper towel, then dropped into coco pucks (first 6 in coco, started 4 more 2 days later in Rapid Rooters), then into tray/dome once taproots were out. After sprout, took lid off and removed heat mat and put under 18/6 at about 50% power and 30 inches. There's a lot going on in those two sentences, and I will elaborate.
Coco was a bad idea, probably my fault, but it was nowhere near as simple and successful as the Rapid Rooters. For one, the coco plugs did not fit into the tray I have, it's whatever size the RRs are. This was my fault, and caused the lower portions of the plugs to compress too hard for roots to grow, basically stopping two seedlings in their tracks. Another issue with the coco seedlings is that they started wilting and turned pale green on 2/6. After some reading, the possible culprits I found were overwatering, cal mag deficiency, nutrient deficiency, possible fatigue from too much light (I tried 24/0 for a couple of days and went back to 18/6 because of this). So I dosed them with calmag, transfered them to the solo cups, and dosed the soil and the pucks with Big Bloom. A day later and the leaves have almost lifted all the way back, and their color is getting back to normal.

Farmer_Plaps Gave them a dose of Rapid start after sprouting, other than that just water and light.

Farmer_Plaps Gave the girls another dose of Rapid Start (after transplant) and some mycorrhizae (during transplant). Changed light schedule to 20/4. Fed a little bit of Big Bloom because I don't know wtf I'm doing!

Farmer_Plaps These ladies are blowing up! They outgrew their solo cups in a single week (I would have transplanted sooner had I known what the roots looked like). I transplanted them into 3 gal fabric pots and applied a layer of mycorrhizae to the roots, gave a final dose of Rapid Start after transplant. Easing into feeding with Grow Big and continuing Big Bloom. I started training them (would also start this earlier now that I see how it’s working). LST has had the steepest learning curve of the whole process for me, but these plants are very informative if you pay attention to them. I brutalized a few of them except for R1, aka The Queen.
Even though I overfed them like crazy, they still produced a ton of good flower.

Farmer_Plaps I overfed them during flower and had to use Sledgehammer to get the salts out of my soil. After that, I just watered them for the last couple of weeks and they finished out fine. I harvested all of them at about 10% amber trichomes. The high is strong but clear-headed, leaving you enough brain power to play your favorite competitive online games.
