Lokis 12 hours seed was in water till it sink. Seed sprauded after 3 days in soil. First days led lamp was about 70-80 cm from seedling. Now lowered to 50 cm. The soil im using is "compo sana" with vermiculite. It is expensive but i hope its worth it. I wont use any fertilizer for two weeks from now. Just pure rain water.

Lokis I topped her on monday, and looks like she did not stop grow at all. But maybe i did it too early...? From now i will feed her with small amount of nutrience once a week.

Lokis So far so good. Looks promising. Fan leaves are very big and they create shadow to the nodes. But i dont think i can do mutch about that. Today i will feed her with water and nutrients. Next time with pure water ph balanced. So my feeding is like 2 times with nutrients and one pure water.
Lokis Looks very promising. Going from veg nutrience to flowering. Feeding her every secound day. Used half of veg and half of flowering nutrience. BTW. Happy xmas :D

Lokis I water her every 2 or 3 days. Today i gave her 1.5l 6.7 ph water.
Lokis Ok. Today i watered her with pure rain water balanced to 6.5ph. My wife said she is smelling the aroma in the room. But i dont have carbon filters so i am not surprised by the smell.
Lokis Ok. She looks nice, but...... icy bicy f*****g red spider mites. I think she will make it and i will harvest her, but she will infect my next plant white whidow....shit happens. ;(
Smelly and sticky buds. Very disappointed in total weight. But its first time grow under artificial light.

Lokis 8 days of drying in card box is a bit too mutch. Humidity in jar is lower than 50%. Will try to raise it to 60%. The taste is strong when vaped. But it does not taste good for me :D
@Lokis,
I can give you some advice.
You can't change the lights, but the gaps between the flowers (inner nodes) are big, meaning the stems were too small. Put them on books to raise them up if you can't lower the lights, and check how much they've grown one by one. You'll gain warmth from the floor, better soil moisture, and drainage will be consistent; I use plastic shopping boxes or similar when needed. Find that distance and maintain it; you'll shorten the branches if they stretch anyway.
Rainwater is good, but it's empty; well water or spring water is a different story, but many of ours are metalized, so it's still advisable to let it sit for a week before watering.
White plastic pots are absurd; the roots can't get light. Black plastic is better, and the material is effective and cheap. Just choose the final size; it's hard to transplant from that material.
You're planting too deep, which hinders air circulation; you can bend the material, making it more effective. You can fill the plastic if it settles...
Everything else depends on what your wallet allows and how much you want to mess around ;)
Good luck!
@AsNoriu, I adjust the light on the chain. Since the beginning of the vegetative stage, I've kept it at a distance of 30cm. Now I've even lowered it for the White Widow and I'm watching out for sunburn. I use rainwater specifically because it's empty, as I add nutrients to the empty water and measure us/cm. Because, as you said, my water isn't very suitable; I've already checked. I really didn't know about the white buckets, but when you mentioned it, I agree thereโs logic regarding the light. But now it's too late to transplant. As for planting too deep, that was a fail because I didn't expect so much soil to settle, as I added a lot of stuff to the soil, including vermiculite and a bit of coconut. I'm satisfied with the light only because I made it myself. It cost maybe up to 20 euros. Thanks for the advice. I definitely have the time and desire to tinker, just that it's a bit scary to do it in Lithuania. :) Could you advise me on what to do about spider mites...
@Lokis,
Regarding the light, your plant says it was small. That's a fact.
The buds are those same compact ice creams thrown under the lens, my quantum boards allow me to keep the plant at a 7 cm distance and it doesn't heat up, doesn't bleach, doesn't curl, and doesn't stretch, but I have strong air, I push/pull, plus inside there are two fans at different heights moving.
With cheap Chinese ones, they were barely touching, with HPS I had to keep it more than 30.
Your hand is the best indicator if you don't have a spot thermometer, if your hand is warm - that's the height limit for the plant. Cannabis grows well up to 32, it's warm for a person from 25. Experiment with the distance, I know you're losing space, but you can group them denser.
Regarding spider mites. Only neem oil, it damages the plant if you spray with a thick mixture, but it's the only organic remedy. You can find the mix formula online, soap, water, and neem oil.
Another alternative is to find a ladybug nest and they'll do the rest ;)
You'll have to wash everything with soap after growing, dispose of the soil far from you.
I had an outbreak with clones once, because I monitor everything and it helped. Just make sure it's cold-pressed!!!

Find an alternative,
Good luck!
@vaitulis, pooh they will man, my recommendation is harvest in the begining of the 10th week of flowering ;). It is good in the end of the 8th, by believe me one week worths thewait
@green_beast, Yes i will try to wait as long as possible. I want to try to reveg her after harvest. And one more thing... I have pollinated one small bud with the Jack Herer males pollen. Hope to have some hybrid seeds. But i have never done this before.
Ahh... the scents that come out of a grow tent in flower - my wife says plenty since the tent is in our bedroom - not to mention fan noises :)
Carbon filters work great as long as you've got negative pressure in the tent and I can never avoid the wafting when it's time to open the tent to work with the plants :)
Enjoy the harvest.
@HazeyBobby, LoL, my grow closet is in the bedroom as well. But i dont get much noise, though i have 7 pc fans running 24/7 in flowering period. You can hear it but its for the better good :D
@vaitulis, you could measure the temp and humidity in the place to be on the safe side. And I'm assuming it's fully clean... to me a fireplace just sounds risky and dirty. But you would be the best judge as every place can be very different. I usually find the bathroom a good space which still has humidity and you can vent smells out every now and again.
