Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg.
The plant have gotten over the transplant shock and are growing again.
I did some training on them just before taking the pictures. They needed to be spread out and the longer branches topped to make 2 ends. Slows the upward growth, down.
Fall has hit here. I've got 2 plants in the greenhouse that have to come down this week.
Got the main grow room up and running last week. I've got 8 plants in there. in hydroponics, under Mars Hydro lights.
Might start a diary on those in a week or so. They were clones that were 3/4 of a year old. They need a little extra time to grow new leaves and look better.
They seem to go into a kind of survival mode when grown in small pots after awhile. They grow smaller leaves and thicker branches. They had nice white roots when I repotted them.
Hope your enjoying the comics. I hide others comics and a couple of grow books in my other diaries if you want to look, if you like Fat Freddie's Cat or the Freak Bros. comics.
I'll try to remember to list my nutrients next week. They are the same as my other diaries if you want to see, before then.
Ok. Have fun out there.
Chuck.
@Chuckwaggon420, There are web sites for used stuff in your city. Mine is called usedvictoria.ca
The person I got it off had been sponsored and had 2 grows with it. I got a good price on a almost new light.
When I got it, it hadn't been released to the public yet. I can dim it down to 20% for seedlings.

@Chuckwaggon420, Hi Buddy.
I start with filtered water. If the filter can take out things like lead and mercury then it will take out some fungus spores.
I think the biggest problem for the seeds is the Pythium Root Rot fungus. The spores are everywhere and chlorine doesn't kill them, so filter them out.
I add the HP for extra oxygen to help and it cleans the water too. It also helps to break down the membrane so the seeds will slip right out of their shells.
I add a pinch of cinnamon because it's anti-fungal to start with and it has the same properties as cloning gel.
If the seeds are older I will add some cloning gel to the water for a little extra umph for the seeds.
I've had pretty good sucuess with older seeds with this method.
Best wishes.
Chuck.
