I put the seeds into the water for 24hrs, after that I put then in the paper towel another 24hrs. No problems, all germinated. Second day and the plants are doing ok. Maybe the only problem that I'm facing is the temperature inside the grow, 32ºC when the LED is on, and 28ºC in the night. Today they went outside a little to enjoy natural sunlight.

All the girls survived through first week and this simple fact made me happy! I decided to feed them in this second week. Chose Biobizz, since it's my first grow and I want to avoid overfert burns. I'm watering my girls only once a week, because I'm using big pots and had no problems until now. Since day 8 I'm moving them outside to sunbath during daytime (7 -8 hrs of direct sunlight) and apparently they are enjoying it. I added some protection inside the pots from the heat and sunlight. My only concern is the humidity levels where I live, the climate is arid and humidity around 11-25% GG #4 is the biggest one, followed by Moby Dick and NL is the smallest. I don't know if this is normal, because the water and fert amounts are the same... Update: Day 13 - last day of the second week, no problems so far. Added some nutes on day 12, bio grow - 1ml/l. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to top, fim, or keep my girls grow naturally.

Yes! My girls are fine and we reached day 16. Added Alg a mic and fish mix as foliar fertilizer, 2 ml/l each. Started LST (Low Stress Training) on GG #4 in day 14, unfortunately I bent too much the main stem and damaged it, I did the supercrop technique without knowing about it... however she recovered extremely well and is fine now. The nodes are growing into sun's direction but I saw some little insect bites in the leaves, need to investigate. Moby Dick's growth in last week was impressive, she almost doubled her size. I can expect a lot more in the next 2 weeks of veg! My only concern is NL, her growth is half compared to the other two girls. First I thought that was her strain, but I read that NL is a very resistant strain, so I discarded this hypothesis. I'm watering all the plants with the same amounts of water and nutes, maybe this little girl needs less water. Since NL is the smallest, she'll go untrained, but I'm still thinking about Moby Dick... top or not 🤔... maybe wait 2 or 3 days is the best thing to do. Day 19 FIMed my GG #4 yesterday, apparently she haven't suffered much stress. Let's wait a few more days for full recovery. Some old leaves are showing some yellow dots and the new nodes were eaten by some kind of insect, IDK if little ants do eat weed. Moby Dick responded to LST amazingly well! I compared the photos of days 16 and 19, she is looking more robust and stronger for her size, more nodes are growing. I need to study how and when LST those new nodes. NL is also growing well and strong. I observed that her growth rate accelerated since last update, maybe she was stunt. I'd like to know if 8cm growth in 19 days is OK for NL autos, it's hard to know because I never grew Autoflowering weed and my friends prefer sativa strains, so, I have no parameter to compare. Watered and gave nutrients to the little girls today. I decided to give only half of nutes this week. This morning their green looked darker, but it's not a normal darker green, so, I cut nutes in the half. Also started to rain yesterday evening, this brought good and bad things... the temperature has fallen a lot and the humidity improved a lot, but I can't move my girls outside because the sky is cloudy, maybe they will not enjoy sunlight for the next days ☹️.

Week 4 has started and I accidentally broke my NL's main stem. Had to top her in the 5th node, I hope she recovers soon. Day 24 - GG #4 is already recovered and she is growing fast again. Moby Dick is my little monster! She is growing so much! It's a pleasure to keep eye on her everyday. I don't know when start to use the bio bloom, maybe this week I'll start to feed my girls with it.
