Well alot of interesting things happened, over the week.
3 had excellent strong growth, in 7.5 Litre pots. 15 days old from seed pop, and are looking excellent.
4 in smaller 4.5 Litre pots had stunted growth, i messed up the watering, and light height,
i got abit drunk on my b'day and neglected them afew days, haha
Today i repositioned the lights lower and repotted the 4 stunted, into 2 x big pots, hopefully they will recover, however it was not easy getting all 4 of them out of those old pots and putting them in the 2 new big pots, i might have damaged the end of the stringy roots, however all 4 main root systems held together i think, so, not sure how they will go. Not too concerned with them, as there is limited room in the tent and 3 are going really strong....
Learning alot on this first grow, jiffy's, fabric pots, watering, light height for led's , etc.... just happy 3 are off to a great start π
Day 18 - Posted some pics of the 3 good ones.... i think the other 4 are gone.... i'll leave em, see if they recover, give em a week and see if they recover or do anything, if not i'll pull em and focus on the 3 with the really strong growth..... it's winter, so alot of the problems, like damp soil, watering, temp... are really hard to manage .....
Day 20 - post afew pics.... it's getting exciting, i can start to smell it, and it's unbelievable, i tasted afew of the single first leaves in my snoop d, g pen, it's very good medicine .. 21 thc - 19 cbd .. <3
it's all lookin brilliant ... i started a light introduction to the dutch master grow solution, mixed up a 0.5 ml to 1 lt and light spray 1-2 times a day, and via bottom saucers, letting the pots draw it up.... it rained so i put a bucket out, and caught 1/2 litre of rain water, magic yellow ph, also found a old empty 2 Lt bottle of orange juice, and filled it with tap water, shook it up and tested it, magic yellow PH ... it just had abit of crusty oj left in it.... idk if oj is good for plants ?

They are looking good. Not sure if you are misting the plants with your lights on but the water droplets can magnify the light and burn your girls. Best of luck with the rest of your grow
@Wicked_Stix,
yep, i'm letting them dry out for a day, and then just bottom feed em until they stop sucking up the water, then let em go for a day or 2... they seem to be loving it... i find it easier than top watering, i over water when top watering... and it seems easier to not over water via the bottom..... idk, i'm new to it all... and learning as we go... thx for reply... π
@Max1973, I wish I could give you some info on bottom feeding but I don't have any experience with it. I don't grow in soil much. I do know that plants in soil need to have a wet/dry cycle to get enough oxygen. I would definitely keep an eye out for overwatering if you water from the bottom
@Wicked_Stix,
i stopped misting altogether, i started it with abit of the dutch gold, to try to recover the one with spots.... any way i was wondering if i could ask your opinion about feeding via the saucer at the bottom ?
let me explain.... the dutch gold i am using sort of indicates it's for a reserve water type grow..... so i am just feeding my babies from the saucer at the bottom... i fill the saucer and if the plants suck it all up, then i fill it again, about every 12 hrs..... idk, it seems to be working perfectly... just feed em thru the bottom saucer, and if they want to drink they do - they are suckin up some serious neut water atm... idk, they seem to be lovin it.....
@Max1973, Sounds like we both got the same pheno then! I checked out the grow you mentioned, which also looked super dank but that guy described the flavor a something a bit different, so maybe I'll get that one this time. Either way, if I can pull it off, I'm going to breed Kush n Cookies with GG #4 and see where things for from there.
I don't know if I can convince you, but there are a couple test kits out there for CBD and as I understand the potency varies through flower (degrades past 60 days in favor of CBN I think) but I would be really curious if it hits the ~15%+ the breeders claim. I'm definitely going to test mine this coming cycle.
@Max1973, For a first grow, it's nothing short of impressive. I wasn't aware this strain could purp, maybe that guy got a different pheno, but it sure looks dank as hell!
Hey @Max1973, your plants look great!
No worries about the slower growth, thatβs normal around the 4th or 5th flowering week as from now on the plants should only focus their energy to the flowering as such and not that much to the growth.
Looking at your progress so far, Iβm sure youβll get plentiful harvest π
Good luck! π
Awesome! Looking at the trichomes they are mostly clear and cloudy so I would say 2 weeks to go, or at least 1 if you are in a rush π
Great job and looking forward to hear about how you like the smoke π
@Butrus,
yep, um, i pulled em, harvested, i'll post final harvest post sunday.... the pics were of a bud that was from the bottom, when i was first playing around with usb microscope... the top looked different, was cloudy, amber, rdy..... and drying, they look awesome.... ππ
@Wicked_Stix,
coool, thx, i did some major defoliation this morning, uploading new pics and vids, day 47....... something interesting about this grow is, the led's, fans etc. all power usage is below 200W, it's about the same as having 3x old 60w light globes in your house turned on for 12 hrs a day........

@Max1973, I think they are further along than your average soil grow. You are ahead of the game. And you are doing right by pulling leaves off. It will increase your yield keeping all those little tops in the light
Hey brother, just checking ur grow π it's cool! What's up with the 2 in 1 pot? U weeding out the weaklings? Cust curious. I'm giving u a follow to find out tho
@Elysian_gardens710,
cool.... i don't think it was lock out... i didn't give them any nuets, and pretty sure it was deficiencies, so i started nutrients.... if it gets worse, i'll flush her ....... if your interested, i posted some funny video's on my new week, just now... shows them in sunlight ... good for a laugh .... thx for the reply :)
@Max1973, π I've done the same thing bro. I have one in a water pitcher right now because I ran out if pots. Ha! All of your plants look great bud! Your deficiency is probably a lock out. Check the water run off next feed make sure the ph is very close to the same going in as going out. Also make sure the ppm(if ur checking that) is similar as well or at least not really high(1000+)
@Elysian_gardens710, i started with 8, i didn't expect so many to make it out of seed, had to put 2 in one pot, to fit em all in the tent....topped / practicing on the smallest one, end up with 2 good ones.... π
