Week 4 starts with a transpotting into ~2,5 liters of biobizz lightmix with 1:10 vermiculite from local garden supplies.
"Special girl" has around 3,5 liters to compensate for smaller size. She actually appears to be very bushy and it seems she split grow tip even without topping.
All three of them got stem burriend a bit in soil to provide stability and compensate for stretching.
The leaves seem to be leaning towards indica, even though Dutchpassion claims this strain to be sativa domminant.
This week might start with some Atami bcuzz soilboost. Maybe a bit of bio-grow from Biobizz.
I’m excited to follow along with this grow! I’ve got a Fem Strawberry Cough Dutch Passion seed in the mail as well, so hopefully I can use your grow as a bit of a guide since I’m brand new to this (and sounds like I’m doing a similar run too)! How early do you plan on switching to 12/12? And how many colas are you shooting for with your FIM/topping schedule?
@Sandman, i will see. Today marks the start of week 4 - that means they(seeds) went from the box into peat pod 21 days ago
I think end of week 5 might be a good estimate and I will decide as it gets closer.
Dont worry, I will follow your grow for comparison as well :)
Your CFL are E27 screw in right?
I want to recommend you some screw-in LED bulbs. They can be found in supermarkets and the modern ones produce 100lm/watt. They are dirt cheap. For instance there are 14w models that get 1500lm and even more after the diffusor globe is removed.
Trust me that they Blow CFLs completely out of the water. It's not even a fair comparison. I have 27w CFLs and 15w LEDs and the led bulbs are so much better that it made me laugh. (tested with lumen meter)

The reason the plants are small and stretchy is not because of spectrum but intensity, not enough light
So I can chill out in my grow room. I have music up here, and just outside I have a mini fridge. Spending my time in here also gives me a dose of vitamin D. I find my grow shack to be a place i can escape to. And it gives me time to scrutinise my plants. I also do my medical marijuana research and grow techniques research. I ❤️ learning and I ❤️😍❤️ growing.
@Puffer_Bill, sweet livin man sweet livin
I dont know about photos though. Maybe add extra week inyour diary and make it clear that its from first grow
How is it going? They look better this week. I’ll vouche for the strain and say it can bounce back from quite alot. If you change conditions it will bounce back.
Thank you, their stems got much stronger indeed and the growth is very nice for 2 but 1 of them seems to be suffering from poor genetics
I had a budy weekend but i will try to be more active in the following weeks
