Tent has bird sounds playing at all times, it comes from the camera which is actually a baby monitor. There are also healing stones I picked up from a reputable shop in Madison, WI, Bernies Rock Shop (awesome people, highlight of my trip to Madison!). I included the rocks and sounds to provide a peaceful environment for the plants since like for all living beings, space comforts can really make a difference. There is a VivoSun thermometer/hygrometer in the corner so I can see stats from the baby monitor/camera app on my phone. The cardboard the camera is sitting on is just for height/visibility of the plants.
Nutrients were used in coco on 7/15/2024 before seed sprouted on 7/21/2024 to give a good foundation of nutrients in the medium. Seedling fed and watered on day 4, 7/25/2024.
Seedling is working on third node as of today August 1 2024, day 12. Seedling experienced heat stress for 3 days because I went camping and couldn't leave the vents open during the day. Temps were about 88 degrees and 86% Rh. For the last 24 hours temps have been stable at 78 degrees and Rh at 56-62%. Watered only on July 31 2024, plan to feed on August 4, 2024.
Update:
Not feeding today August 4. Yesterday seedling took a tumble and appears to have survived. I quickly rescued her by transplanting her into her final pot filled with moistened Fox Farm Coco Loco. I will wait to feed as she recovers, another 48 hours maybe.

Esmoki_La_Cabronastarted grow question 3 months ago
I am planning on topping at node 5 and using the clipping to plant in a rockwool pellet for cloning. Would I still need a rooting gel if the clipping is being placed directly in a rockwool pellet? Appreciate the read, happy growing and learning.

Rooting gel stimulates root growth so I would def use it if you got one.
Also you could just put the clipping in a dark glas bottle with just destilled water. Gives many roots verry fast.
Much success and
Happy Growing

How is the seedling looking? She took a fall yesterday afternoon and I immediately rescued her as I could and repotted into final 3 gallon fabric pot (actually 5 gallon but only had enough Coco Loco for 3 gallons). Thank you for the read, happy growing and learning. :)

I think itβs going to be fine. The break may also help strengthen that stem once it fixes itself.
Just let it be and it will heal.
Esmoki_La_Cabronastarted grow question 3 months ago
I will feed super lightly tomorrow on August 7, but want to what other growers think.
Kaboom toppled over on August 3. I refrained from feeding to allow her time to stabilize and have only watered once since the fall. In your grower opinion, was waiting to feed necessary? thx π

Any hard and fast rules for deciding when to start LST? I plan on doing SCROG later on but would like to tie down branches before then. On Day 19 with 4 nodes so far.

I would wait till your side branches are between 7-10 cm. Then they are not that fragile and you have sth to work with.
I like to cut off the first two pairs of side branches as soon as they show, when doing a scrog. So she gets a bit further away from medium and for better air flow.
Much success π€and
Happy Growing

@Esmoki_La_Cabrona, that sounds like sheβs going to recover. Typically when the stem or branch takes trauma the plant sends hormones to the location and concentrates on strengthening that area and it grows back even stronger. Happy growing!

Great job so far, looking good! General Hydroponics is Terra Aquatica now. Itβs not all convertible though. I use the same nutrients. I just abbreviate GH and then show what I use. Maybe one day GD will get it all straightened out. π€

@Still_Smoq, That's very kind of you, thank you for the kind words and the info! I thought it was a preferred brand kind of thing and the site didn't want to promote it for whatever reason haha. Happy growing and thanks for stopping by

@AJ0000, thank you kindly! It's great to have the reassurance. This is the first photoperiod plant I have grown and the experience is wildly different from auto flowers in terms of growth and needs. Happy growing and thanks for stopping by ππ―

I use the Flora Series in some of my grows as well.
There's a feed chart on the grow weed easy website that has never failed me.
Link to the article below and the feed chart is not to far from the top of the page.
Lots of other good info on that website as well.
