Thacan Worst germination ever. Will likely only yield 2 plants, because one is malformed.

Thacan Will likely discard the left side plant. Using Maxsisun MF2000 and grow box for early propagation. Will transplant in one or two weeks into 3.9 gallon Autopot using coco/perlite and move to 4x4 under the Growers Choice 420.

Thacan Plants were moved to a 4x4 tent at the beginning of week 3, because they were getting too big for the small enclosure; also, to get ready for the Autopot transplant. Then mid week transplanted. As the pictures show the roots were very crowded, indicating that I probably should have transplanted sooner, but I was waiting for the Autopot delivery. Maui is potted in 2 x 3.9 gal pots and Bruce Banner in 2 x 2.2 and 1 x 3.9 gal pot. New media is Coco and Perlite 1:1. Keeping the VPD low is challenge, with big swings in my tent control and cool dry conditions outside tent. Holding temperatures in the low 70s (F) during the day and humidity in the mid 50-62%. Maui and Bruce Banner look excellent. Running light at 210watt to 315watts. Will be switching to Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro 9-3-6 and continuing Ca-Mg with pH reduced from 6.5 to 5.3 and TDS around 800. Top watering only at this point which is why I haven’t installed the Autopot float system yet. Also topped the Maui mid-week before the transplant and in retrospect probably should have waited another week or two.

I want to leave a comment here about the seeds and poor germination rate. I contacted ILGM and they very quickly sent replacement seeds that I will try again at a later time. Just wanted to note the great customer service from ILGM.

I need to add that I cut the light down to 210watts most of the time and 315watts a few hours a day. The Maxsisun side lights will stay off until flower.
