I was a bit worried with the 3 days to germinate and about to start again with the soaking in water and paper towel technique, but them she poked her little head out wearing her seed as a helmet. I suppose you just have to be patient and give it time :-).

I'm going to move outdoor as soon as I can. At what stage of growth is best? I have about 3,050 lumens on the seedling at the moment and I'm only growing 1 plant (walk before running approach). I will be transferring into a 15l pot in 7 days or so.

hey Aeries!! In my experience I like to get them outdoor a quick as I can, but with that being said I like to wait until it has at least 2 full sets of leaves so any pests or pesky little animals are less likely to hurt it. For example if your going to transplant into a bigger pot in about 7 days wait about another 7 after the transplant to throw her outside as long as she is looking healthy she should take off. That is what I would do oh Just remember put a little chicken wire fence or something around it so now rabbits or others get to eat your lil baby Hope that helps Happy Growing an plentiful Harvests

Hi guys! Just a quick easy one. I have Her on 24hr lights for the first 7 days or so. Until I can transplant her into 15l. She has grown 4cm in less than 2.5 days.... Is this an early sign of stretching? Any help would be appreciated. I have my lights at 30cm (12") above canopy

Hey buddy don't worry :-) Your plant looks great, it can be genetic dependent that some grow a little faster and some need something at the beginning :-) no need to worry, keep it up 😍👌

-Going to gradually get her from 8hrs shaded daylight to 13hrs shaded daylight by the end of week 2. -Going to switch from 24hrs light to 20/4 #Day 12 and on #Day 14 I will be switching to 18/6 in preparation for Her transition to outside next week, about #Day 17, if all goes well. -Above mentioned nutrients will be added this week and after transfer to 12l pot on day 10. -Less watering this week too, I have to remember She is not a marine animal 😅. -I have also set up a slow release carbon dioxide drip. -She grew 7cm and has started growing Her 2nd true leaves after "Week 1" hopefully she keeps up the steady pace 🙏.

New week started a bit late and never finished last week 😅. She is in her final place now until harvest thank God! The growth and colour alone is amazing, loving her new environment and survived 2 days of stormy weather 💪. She has just started to streach out on 4 Node. When she gets to node 5 I will be topping and again maybe 3 days later on 1 or 2 other new main Colla sites. I will have to see how her development goes after 🤓. I will feed her on #Day 25, her usual all "Organic Mix" and then again on #Day 28. Day 28: some nice growth in height and in the canopy. She measured in at 33cm today ☺️. 11cm growth in 1 week! 5th node is starting to come up too!

Day 30. -Not much growth from the lower site so I will defoliate when topping in 2 days. -Little greenfly issue, going to feed on Day 32. So I will have my insect replant ready when going over to feed, top and defoliate. I will use some cinnamon to sterilise he wounds after. Topped and defoliated today along with spay for the greenfly issue. Hopefully they will leave Her alone! -Day 35. Fed some Nettle fertilizer, coffee grinds, Crushed Seaweed and watered. Sprayed some insecticide too, no insects on her.

Day 44. Gave some Lentil & Nettle fert. No need for water, been raining the last 2 days. New bud sites forming after the slow down from topping and defoliation. She should be switching to flower soon 🤞 Day 47. Gave 300ml of Banana Tea and 1 tspn of Blackstrap molasses along with some compost dressing and some orange peals about 1inch under the dressing soil, to keep away insects.

Any idea on how to help her recover? There was metal wire above the canopy and when it rained the rust from it was dripping into her 😔. Fixed it now but I would like to help with healing if possible?

I'm not sure of any method to fix the burnt areas. Remove a few at the bottom won't effect your flower then as she stretches remove rest of the damage.

Thanks guys! All very helpful and speedy too 😉. Let's just say for arguments sake I'm living in Ireland. We currently have temps avg 14°c and at the moment 15.1hrs of daylight. I would like to leave it outside during the day and take it inside at night until "Grace"(Yes, I named Her 😍) is strong enough to put in the ground. I will be doing some LST training (Bending only!) Before she will be allowed on her own, so I can control shape for stealth 😅. Hope this info can help with answering my question! Thanks again for taking the time guys!

@Aeries, Hwey hope I was able to help! an yeah for that type of climate I'd deff let Grace😊 get atleast to the second true set of leaves if not the third depending on how the weather is

Aeriescommentedweek 15 years ago
Hi HK! Thanks for the reply! Most of the photos taken are after water 😅. But I will give Her 12hrs no water to promote root growth. Also I have been spraying the top and watering from the bottom.

Aeriescommentedweek 15 years ago
Thanks for the advice! I will do as you suggested ☺️. Well, as long as She gets that far 😂. I don't know how to close out a question as "answered"? Some help on that would be great or do you guys do it?

Советую нижние первые ветки отрезать. Они как правило не продуктивны и будут отнимать у растения энергию

Hey there, hope i answered your question, anything else you need just let me know 🚀

Super nitrogen saturated.. Your plant is screaming from all that nitro she is taking in. Coffee grounds are great but like a light dressing. Balance is key.
Aeries
Aeriescommented5 years ago
@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity,noted! Also thanks for the help 🤓. I will leave it another 10 days or so before adding again 😉
DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity
DeadwebsiteBoringcommunitycommented5 years ago
@Aeries, Soil almost always has sufficient nitro levels to grow cannabis so really no need to be adding for quite some time. It's great idea again but if it was for a top dressing you'd wanna wait until "Aggressive vegetative growth" when she will take the nutrient in and be like yea this is what I like and grow into a big beautiful lady. Not much too do now but add to the notes for next grow type deal.

@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, I sprinkled about 3 level dessert spoons of coffee grinds on her when last feeding?

@@Resin_Randy, Thanks bud! Me too! She was looking good enough today and I took a bit of leaf off and put it under my "Carson Microbrite" there is no sign of insects or fungi thank f**k! 😁 I will just give her some time to be the best little stone delivery system she can be 😋
