One of the leaves on the 1st real node is fused together. Is that indicative of anything? This is a 3week old seedling and it looks healthy and started picking up speed a few days ago but still seems to be growing slowly. Expected it to be bigger by now
The fused leaves is not normal, but it is a fairly common too. The slow growth you are experiencing is because you are over watering, a lot. Since you are using a pot too big for the plant, as a consequence you water too much; this is why most people use a party cup for seedlings. Give them a cup of water and let the soil dry up before watering again.
Good growth this week. Doubled in size.
I topped it 2 days ago. Hoping it recovers nicely. Not seeing anything pop up yet though. Hopefully another day or so.
Wondering how long I should wait before switching to 12/12 after topping? I have 2 autos in the same room that are on week 8 of veg so I'm fairly certain they mixed up the seeds they sent so going to flip soon.
Update end of week: managed to fim instead of top. 4 new sites popping up. I realize I had my light too far away initially which caused her to stretch. I lowered it and adjusted the fan hoping to strengthen up.
Flipped to 12/12 last night. I think it's a little small but had to flip because of some autos that are lagging behind in starting to flower.
No nutes yet but next watering I will start a low dose of flower nutes.
Just added half strength flower nutes.
3 days of 12/12 so far
She grew 5 inches this past week. I let her stretch too much as a seedling because the light was too high. She seems a little too tall and lanky but main stem is sturdy.
I defoliated a bit and removed 5 fan leaves. Might top it or fim it again.
Should I top or fim her again? There are 10 bud sites growing now.
7 at the top.
This is 2nd week since flipping. I don't see any pistils yet I dont think.
Is now a good time to make some cuts and if so, where would be the best place?
I would not top again but I would have bent the stems to let the secondaries get more light and to promote their growth. Like you said it's the 2nd week after flipping and your heavy defoliation did slow her flowering process , I would not top as at that stage the plant will put more energy into recovering than into lateral growth and the risk is a weak flowering 😓
Started to show flowers this past week. Looks healthy.
This is my only photo plant in the room but I'm giving it the same half strength nutes I'm giving my autos . I think it's going ok. Not sure if I should go full strength on this or not.
She's looking good I think. Started adding about 10ml of molasses per gallon last week.
Strangely I have not touched the pH of the water going in. pH runnof seems to be around 6 give or take.
Doing full strength calmag and half strength flower nutes. Same combo I'm using for my autos as well
Looking g good still. No problems with nutrients or pH from what I can see. Might need to raise the lights but running out of room. Worried about light bleaching
Added Cha Ching at quarter strength today. Hopefully goes well. Will feed one more time and then flush for two weeks.
Will have to harvest this plant early. Recommends 80 days of flower but I'm going to be traveling for 3 weeks in April with a small break at home in the middle. so will chop her down the day before I leave and let it dry.
The other 3 plants will be ready, only need 60 days of flower time.
Poor timing sucks
Will update later. Had to cut her down early due to unplanned trip. Leaving to dry for a week or so then will weigh it up.
Not very much here. Only 99g wet. Didn't veg long enough and didn't flower long enough.
