After careful consideration I've decided to run the lights 24/7, where im located in the world its dropping to about 3 degrees Celsius at night (tent is in garage) and the heat is quickly dropping in the tent on the 4 hour night cycle, I think this will cause implications down the road so after a little research I'm running them on 24hrs.
RC#1 Was laying down this morning. I've propped her up and skipped watering for today. Fingers crossed she bounces back.
#1 & #2 have had nothing but water this week. Next Friday I'll start adding the nutrients.
I've also germinated 2 other seeds (royal cheese & northern lights). Might aswell as I have the space. They look healthy so so far so good.

#1 is taking off, #2 is few days behind both look healthy. Other 3 seeds have germinated, ones sprouted

Coming into week 3 in few days. I'm ready to up nutrients but may hold off and see how we go into week 3.
I have another 6 seeds planted. 2 of the 6 I know what they are (royal kush auto & northern lights auto), but the other 4 was mistakenly all thrown into the same cup to germinate by my other half.... as you do... so I'll have to identify as they grow (x1 Royal cookies, x2 royal cheese x1 northern lights)
Stay tuned.
Last week a couple of stems were going soft mid stem and becoming paper thin. Leaves all looked healthy. I think it was maybe a sign of over watering? Seems to be ok now but stunted the plant for about 5 days give or take. Would just like a rough idea to the causes.
Looks like you had or have nutrient lockout. There is signs of overdose in your leaves. Give your poorly girls a nice heavy flush if you haven't already and lay off the nutes for a week. Start adding in small doses. Try adjusting your pH level. Do you check the soil pH too? 👍🌱
Im a little concerned. The plant was dried for 8 days to the point the stems were just about to snap/ crack. Now it's all been harvested into jars the smell isnt filling me with confidence. Should I expect the smell to mature with the next few weeks?
Minimum 30 day cure, then see where you stand. I find cured buds lose some of that strong smell when in the peak of flower.
And if it tastes like it smells, then even better bonus when done.
Like the above growers said it will improve with time as the cure goes on
I've been told to dry trim also to help avoid any hay type smell
Wet trimming apparently gives a hay smell
