Vegan Widows

My wife was very happy with my first grow (Snow White). But she has asked if I could make the next one organic, plant based and preferably vegan as well. Ok! So I’ll use Biobizz nutes, not the Fish-mix though. They are all organic, with a range that is primarily plant-based. Some are even vegan. I might try a few household nutes as well, like coffee grounds, if I think I need to. I have put 6 seeds in a paper towel to pop. They will go straight into 4 separate 5 gallon fabric pots. I will watch the over-watering this time. I don’t want to shock them by having to transplant them later. I want enough veg time to do a few LST trials. I’ll try a circular LST on the first one, pulling the plant over, then I’ll see if I can circle it around the pot. I’d like to try lollipopping on the second one. I’ll also try to pull the all the branches straight outwards from the middle. I also wonder what a more heavy pruning would do to an auto plant. All the plants in my first grow had masses of leaves. It crowded the tent. Can autos handle more pruning? Not as far as shwazzing it, just significantly more than I did the first time. I’ll probably try this on the 3rd. I’m considering putting all remaining 1-3 seedlings in the final pot. But I don’t want the same crowded mess I had last time. So I would like to try some sort of training that keeps these ones really compact. Maybe topping or fimming? I don’t mind if it impacts the yield a bit for these ones. I’d like to do something I can learn from. I’ll also increase the lighting with a 150w flowering lamp. That will bring my main hanging lighting up to 400w for flowering. That puts me where I think I should be at 100w per square foot. I will probably still just use the 250w mars hydro with the 50w goose necks during veg though. Here I go again! UPDATE: At the end of the first week, four out of the five sprouted seeds have popped up this week. I put two in one pot, but only one popped. That puts me at 73% success rate from seed. The first seedling has 3 nodes already, with some 3 fingered leaves. The smallest one took some time to pop. It still had the seed head covering it for days while I slowly moistened it and coaxed it off. I’ll start the feeding sometime this week, just need the small one to catch up a bit. I made a heavy garden wire ring to go around the inside of each fabric pot. It sits just where the soil meets the fabric. I’ll wire them to the pot and use them to tie the training wires to. The fabric isn’t sturdy enough to tie them directly to.
