Normally I'd wait until Sunday but it was a busy week. When checking up on the ladies late on 11/2 I noticed roots already working their way out of the drainage holes in my Solo cups. Crazy root growth for only a week time. On 11/3 I went ahead and repotted into the 5 gal pots I plan to finish in, they look ridiculous in these big ol pots but once they adjust I expect a nice burst of growth. Upped the concentration of my nutes and gave a small feeding, the bottoms are wet but no runoff. I'll give it a few days then give each a good soaking with pHed water to eliminate dry spots. This coco has dried out a bit since hydrating but I didn't want to drown them yet. I'll let them adjust to their new home and take in a few nutes first.
Going to my bigger pots, it became decision time...I only had 3 pots available for this strain and 4 seedlings.
It really came down to Z3 &4. Z3 is a little more runty. I think I'll slow roll it for now and maybe run some clones off it later. Z4 is our new Z3 for purposes of this journal.
From here on it's about maximizing growth without going overboard. I plan to run each plant on a 2(well 3 really) cut modified manifold to achieve 8 colas per plant. First chop will be above node 3, lollipoping the bottom. 2nd cut will be above the 3rd node of both branches, stripping off the 2nd node of each for spacing and symmetry. I have a SCROG net but dunno if I'll use it yet. Running two strains and the other one is supposed to stretch a little more than this one, so good chance I do.
**11/6 Edit- Gave each pot a gallon on straight water pHed down to 5.8, 20ish% runoff. Humidity should climb now that there's more moisture in the tent, probably more in the 60s.
I have tried a grow with the same lights. My babies only grow to size of week 2 and they get stunted and don't grow any more. I'm seeing ppl with same lights and many different day/night temps and such...idk why my babies won't grow
@SkaterSkates77, definitely bro. This is what I was born to do. As soon as I can figure out how to dm on this site I’ll send you info and I don’t want your money until it’s legal where I live to sell my clones that I’ve selected with superior genetics.
@Scrubbyjimbob, can I give you my contact info? I'm really trying to get a grow going. Put so much into it. I would pay some one at this point to give me pointers and help along the way...🤯
@SkaterSkates77,
I've been happy with mine so far in veg. My plants seem to be doing great under it at 75%(ish) currently. I'll be curious to see how penetrating it is during flower.
