MinnesotaHighLife Got my order from Seedsman and added them to a small cup of distilled water with a 1:3 ratio of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Both popped overnight with one having about a quarter inch tap root. And the other just barely coming out. Move them to a paper towel using the water for the cup by damp in the towel put it on a plate and set it on my 3D printer bed and turned up the heat to 28 degrees Celsius. Next day both had tap Roots more than a half inch put them in the soil. The next day number one came up nice and bright the other one still hung up under the soil. A day later seed number 2 came up still had the shell on the leaves and it struggled for another day before I finally removed it and it was just a tiny little guy and it still remains stunted to this day. I think the first week's growth is good looking at other people's photos so I think I'm doing okay for my first grow.
I am using Happy Frog to start the seedlings off. I will then be moving them into 3 gal fabric pots using Happy Frog amended with 1 Tbsp/Gal of Dr. Earth Home Grown Organic Tomato, Vegetable & Herb Fertilizer.

MinnesotaHighLife Looking Good so far. I'm moving these to the 3 gal fabric pots. I should have just started them in them in the first place. Been keeping the soil moist with about 50 ml of purified drinking water with a 6.1pH

MinnesotaHighLife Week 2 went well except for I tested my water source to find the pH had changed from like 6.3 to 5.1 and I watered twice this week with that source before realizing the change. I am hoping it won't cause any issues.

MinnesotaHighLife Day 15
I checked soil moisture level with probe and I think I'll wait another day to water again. #2 Is strange compared to #1 as it is starting it's second set of leaves at the first node instead of the top.
Day 18
#2 looks to be getting to main tops now for whatever reason it stopped at the second set of leaves and just started growing from the first node.
Day 20
I Mixed GH Armor Si with my water and pH'd to 6.4 Gave both a good soaking. I think I may have been underwatering trying my damnedest not to overwater.
Day 21
I wonder if I was underwatering if that would be enough stress to cause early flowering. I noticed pistols at several nodes on #1. I'm only 3rd week in on this grow.

Did some leaf tucking. NL #1 is showing more pistols. NL #2 still trying to get some growth going.
Day 23
Removed a leaf on NL #1 to get more light to the lower nodes. Removed the 2 leaves on #2 that basically self topped itself. Gave each 1/4 gal of water with Armor Si and molasses.
Day 27
Some LST around #1, tucked some leaves. Watered again Same as Day 23

MinnesotaHighLife Day 29
Start of new week. Not sure if I should be starting as flowering yet or not. I have pistols on #1 but none on #2. Lots of growth on both the last week.
Topped and worked in 2 tsp Dr Earth HomeGrown and 1 Tbsp Dr Earth FlowerGirl, mixed in and watered #1 with .5 gal pHd water with Armor Si mixed low dose and no molasses this time around. #2 still has a good shot of moisture so I'll wait to water her
Day 32
Watered #2 with .5 gal pHd water with Armor Si mixed low dose and no molasses this time around. Also LST with some clips I 3D printed from Thingiverse.
Day 33
Got first flowers starting on #1. #2 just started showing pistols so day 36 I will set lights for flower.
Day 34
Did some leaf tucking and moved lst clips to other branches.
Day 35
More leaf tucking and watered with .5 gal water with full dose of Armor Si. Everything is moving along.

MinnesotaHighLife Been a busy week. Haven't had much time to update so its a small update this week. #2 still hasn't started to flower 1 week after #1 started flowering. I is starting to take over in size big time. It went from being a what I thought was a stunted runt that I was thinking about SPARTAing to I'm wondering how big she gonna get. I've done a bit of defoliation on #1 to open up some of the inner bud sites. Thinking I might lollipop #2 and do some defoliation before it starts to flower.

MinnesotaHighLife #1 Has been moving along on bud development. Lots of trichomes forming. #2 Is still in preflower and has grown about 8 inches taller than #1.

MinnesotaHighLife Everything looks good so far. #1 is getting really close trichomes are starting to get milky. I'll likely harvest when I start seeing amber heads. #2 is starting to bulk up now and starting to stack up she will likely be 2 wks behind for harvest.
Weird... I'm in Minnesota growing seedsman NLA, indoors, in 2.5gal of soil amended with Dr. Earth HomeGrown and flower girl as well. Mine popped on the first of July.
Crazy how in sync our grows are...Congrats on the legal flowering!
If one of them is already showing sex, the plant tend to show the first flowers in about 5-6 days, depending on various factors (root growth, pheno, health) plants could have some difference in veg and flo times.
@Seedsman, yeah #2 had some odd mutation so it's about a week or so behind. Today I've been getting the first flowers going on #1 and I noticed pistol on #2. Thanks for following my grow.
