Coming off a less than ideal organic grow due to extreme summer temps and over-lollipopping on my part. So this, my third grow is to fix my mistakes and grow a monster yield :)
I have decided to stay with organic nutrients, with 4 plants in my tent instead of 1. This time I will minimize training and will not top at all, and also plan not to defoliate unless a very good reason presents itself. I also added 4 x 15w side lighting to comp the main HID light, which is a good source of heat coming into winter.
Update: 2 days later, and these buckos are ready. It's night time, so I'm left with a choice. Wait until morning to plant them, or plant them now. I decided to plant them, but to leave them in their spot in the warmth on the heater with very light heat, And in the morning I will put them under the lights on a 18-6 cycle.
I honestly hate the part of transplanting seeds to pot from paper towel. My only hope is that it's good enough. One of these seeds is even showing leaves. Ok, I planted it and hope for the best. It's also clear that one of these does not have a formed tap root. I still planted it. I also found an extra phantom seed with a tap root, I have no idea how it happened, but I must have made an error somewhere, or it's just part of the seed without the tap root. Nonetheless I planted it and let's see what happens. Either it works out, or I work with fewer plants or plant more seeds.
