Clearwater Genetics Gargantua (Gary Payton X Apple Mints), BAS 3.0, 30 Gallon Pots- 4X4 400 watt vivosun,

SustainableCrypto Hi All, I germinate right into my soil- 2/4 seeds did not pop. I solo cupped 4 seeds and transplanted them on 1/23. Trying to make up the time. Experimenting with this strain and cropping and training from low on the plant. ALL feedback appreciated- TIA

SustainableCrypto Hi All, I continue to use the bud clips to open the canopy. Under a big leave I found a small little plant. This must have come from my original germination attempt on 1/7. I put it in a 5-gallon pot and will transfer to a 2x2 tent once the plants get bigger. I am enjoying using the bud clips. As you can see, I had to use some gorilla tape to fix one branch. So far, I am happy with the plants.

SustainableCrypto Hi All, I decided to flip to flower since I have no info on stretch. Do people leave the bud clips on or take them off? I am leaving the clips on 1 week into flower. Any guidance would be great. TIA

SustainableCrypto Week one of flower. Laid down a mulch layer with topsoil and cover crop. I also mixed in some golden teacher grain spores mixed with the hay. I also added some beneficial nemos and mites. Gnats are a bit annoying but the neem oil spray and the preds should take care of it. Plants look healthy so far.

SustainableCrypto Week 2 of flower- Did a heavy defoliation and tucking.
