This was where things were still going relatively smooth - at least I thought at the time. The seedlings had sprouted up and were looking healthy. I realize now, in hindsight, that this was time to transplant them into literally ANYTHING with some soil in it - unfortunately, at this stage in my Cannabis growing career, I had little to no knowledge of growing cannabis - and to illustrate just how little I knew, I was giving them water straight from the faucet without pH adjustments or tests! I soon read up and realized my mistakes. However, this was just the beginning of the story. To make things even more dramatic, I had no good place for them to go into yet, as my tent I had ordered was still not here. No lights. No fans. They were imprisoned in the seedling dome until further notice. AND - to stack things up even higher - I was about to leave on vacation for California to celebrate 420 in Coachella - and was leaving the babies under care of my teenage stepdaughter - who was very annoyed that she had to look after them while we were gone. A recipe for disaster? Perhaps. I like to think of it as the beginning of a good story!

Is the structure of the plant at this stage affected by a stunt when they are in the seedling stage? I am curious to know if my plants seem too small or if they are average size - I chose not to defoliate due to them being so short - would appreciate any input here! Thanks

There are many many variables that can determine the size of your plants, genetics, pot size, lighting and so on, they don't look stunted to me and they look healthy and thriving to me...Just keep doing what your doing BUT if you feel as though they're stunted or not as big or want to do more, I would increase the intensity of your light if possible, move it closer but your going to have to make sure your DLI is on point as well, RH and temp..You can download VPD buddy to get your parameters

Very interested to hear everyone's input about this - Do you pH your water to 6 and then add the 2 tablespoons of GO BioThrive Bloom? OR do you add the BioThrive Bloom to your water, mix and then start the pH process?

You want your pH to be set after additives. It’s all about the pH when you input the feed in the medium

Defoliation. Do you all think that I should defoliate below the canopy? I relatively haven't touched them or defoliated for quite a while, and was planning on perhaps leaving them alone, especially now they are in the flowering phase. Would you suggest I defoliate the lower 1/3?

I like how yan402 thinks, however I was told no direct light should touch the floor of your tent/medium or its wasted wattage. always a leaf catching something. the whole process of defoliation is to increase airflow between bud sites to prevent budrot. If you got good airflow and fans penetrating the canopy moving air past everything I would not worry about it. Getting extra light to the lower buds is also good but unless you supplement with under canopy lighting its never gonna be all that even with defoliation. The sun can do some of that. its much more powerful. Good Luck!

Are the tips of my plants looking normal? I had a random comment from someone that I may be going overboard on my nutrients - the very tips of my plants are turning white-ish neon green and I am wondering if this is due to the plants natural process in flower? Can I correct?

Na man I think you’re fine. It is a sign of overfeeding but I see it slightly on almost all my grows in flower. You want to push it right to that threshold of being too much IMO.. just keep an eye for other signs going forward and monitor runoff to be sure.

Good looking plants you got there, now I see them more closely I'm sure they are ripe for a defoliation of fan leafs especially in the middle of plants and bottom.
