put seed in Coco today
CoCo , Perlite and worm castings mix.
I have some 4 week old plants in the tent light is set at 14 inches and about 60% above top of canopy. These seedlings are probably around 24 inches.
Plan is to germ and veg them inside in a tent for about 4 weeks and move outside to flower. It will already be 12/12 when they get moved outside.
I am in AZ so trying to time this so I move them out once it get under 100 degrees during the day.
I am trying for small plans around 1 to 2 OZs.
Day 3 - 08 23 2023 - Broke Ground - cracked dome to transition to lower huidity

09-01-2023 - Day 12 - My First time using coco to start seeds and I only had a bit of worm casting in the mix for nutrition. I think I was a little past due to give them more nutrition but the seedlings were very small so I didn't want to over do it. I had given each seedling a tbsp of worm casting earlier in the week.
Top Dressed a mixtures of 1 tbps worm casting, 1 tsp 4-6-3, 1/4 tsp bloodmeal and a pinch of microbes.

The picture is bad, color is fine in real life. But this one is a little wonky. It had fallen over as a seedling and had never fully straightened out. I have an auto flower in early flower in the same tent so di not have a 100% great seedling environment. Also firsat time starting seeds in coco and just had a little worm casting in the mix. I think I was light on nutrition in the original mix and should have fed a bit earlier.
Might just end up culling this one if the other 3 I have going stay looking good.
day 17 - Top dressing seemed to pop this out of its funk.
up potted to next size (after picture was taken) pot with equal mixture of Coco, Perlite and Ocean Forrest.
Did an LSt to bend over after transplant.

09-11-2023 - day 23 topped the Dos Si Do 33. pruned off first set of branches, will train out 6 main branches. note - also took top two fan leaves when i topped so all 6 branching site get full light exposure
09-15-2023 - day 27 - bounced back great after topping. It had a rough start in the seedling stage so first few leaves are a bit twisted and wonky but plant looks great in person ( wonky lowers make it look worse in picture)

day 28 - the leaves on this are a little wavy but it looks better in person than in the pictures. She exploded with growth after the topping. I have 3 inch roots growing out the bottom of this container. Planning on moving this out side this week so have not re potted.
Day 30 09-19-2023 - Leave are showing issue/deficiency. Not sure if it is outgrowing to pot ( it desperately needs a transplant, but they are being transitioned out side in 2 days) or some kind of nutrient issue. decided to water in 1/3 tap to 2/3 RO with 2 to 3 ml of Cal mag and let it ride until I move outside..
Day 32 - 9-21-2023 will spend night in garage tonight to start transition out side ( note already down to 12 hours should flip to flower right away.
planted in Jr Earth box outside - (day 33 from seed 09-22-2023)
* scoop is 1/4 gallon
4 scoops - ocean forrest
1 scoop Earth Worm Castings
1 scoop perlite
2 tbsp Kelp Meal
4 tbsp 2-2-2
4 tbsp flower girl 3-9-4
This Only filled the Jr Earth Box about 80% I filled the rest with straight Ocean Forrest and did a small worm casting flower girl top dress.

day 35 - Moved outside to a balcony in an Earth Box Jr. we are already on 12-12 so counting as start of flower. It is a small plant with 6 main branches, i'm counting on it growing out a bit in stretch but only looking for a small plant with about an ounce of bud.
Day 40 - plant not looking great. s10% to 15% of the leaves and getting crispy at the edges. not sure if issue is ( 1. Overdid fertilizer , 2. it is hot as hell on the patio or 3. should have watered soil for entire first week instead of going to bottom watering after one top water). Im just going to ride it out and see.

11-12-2023 - i gave it its final 8 week top dress yesterday. I will be water only for till finish. It is still about 85 degrees during the day and mid 50s at night (AZ) so hopefully buds will start swelling up. I am thinking about 4 weeks still till finish.
Since I moved this outside to the Earth box jr and staked it I have done almost no training. Just some defoliation in the center of the plant to keep air flow.
Note - This was supposed to have 6 main branches ( topped after 4th nods and prune bottom most pair of branches. However I let the side branches get bigger than the top pair so really it is 4 main branched on the side and two in the middle that never made the top of the canopy. However with it being outside i left all the side branches fill in naturally ( no lollipop or training) and lowers flower sites seem to be coming in pretty good.

Waiting to finish. I need to get this down on the next 7 to 10 days so it can be done drying in time form me to start my garden seeds for next season. (Im in AZ so I start seeds at the beginning of January inside to move outside around Feb 1st,. I dry in the same tent)
12-13-2023 - Day 114 from seed - Looks a little early still, but i need to get these dried and out of the tent to start my spring seeds in a couple weeks. I am going to let them go until Sunday (4 days) and chop them. Some of the day 11r picture look in the harvest window but the brown tricomes appear to be more damage from being outside rather than being overripe. Who knows, it is coming down either way.
Chop Day - 12-15-2023 - Days from seed =116 - Days in flower =82. - Ended up pulling today, wanted the beginning of the dry to be on weekend so I was around the first couple days. [ Note - since I have been keeping a wet pot of coco in the tent well drying it has been no work and dry has been nice and slow, humidifier barley runs.
@Thundrfuk, thanks man good luck to you as well. I have some autos in early flower in the same tent so I don't really have the best environment for seedlings. Right now I am having issues with this being leggy and falling over so had to add some support.
