Day1: This is the first day the plants grew out of soil. (04/23) Day2: Actually surprised how fast they grew from basically 0cm. I'm gonna transfer them to bigger pots at some point. Weather is nice so i keep them outside. I thought that maybe sunlight + indor LED light might be nice for them.

Day 8: I added a bit more soil and a bit of perlit before I transferred them to bigger pots. Plants were growing "outdoors" so far and by the end of this week I will transfer them to growbox until weather is gonna be better. Only one of those lucky plants will stay with me indoors. Day 13 : I took more care about the humidity. Overall I am happy how fast they grow. I am a bit concerned about the stem width. By the end of this week I will put more soil to bury the stem a bit and add ventilation to growbox. What I learned this week is that my solution temperature should be around 19-22*C (I kept having my solution temp inside growbox because I thought it might need warmer water). PPM is also way too big, so I'm gonna give them less nutrients now. Day 14: They are growing weirdly high and I'm concerned about the stem width so I'm LST-ing their first big branches and hopefully it will stop their growth high a bit and also prepare them for real LST and bending.

Day 15: I started this week with changing the LST method. I bent plants to the ground hoping it would prevent them from growing too high and moved lamp closer. I also started to water two (2/4) of them for about 150ml instead of 50ml to see how they react. Hopefully I will install ventilation this week. I noticed their stem grew bit wider and watching other's people journals it should grow noticeably bigger this and next week. Two of them are growing way faster than others and they are in slightly bigger pots which might be the reason. Day20. 512. View of all of them. Top left is kinda bushy and has the widest stem. Bottom left is definitely the weakest one. Top right is the biggest and it's growing insanely fast and high. I'm gonna cut it drastically. Today I installed ventilation to my plants and temperature dropped to around 20-22 i have to check again. I'm not sure if this kind of ventilation is worth it for the price of perfect temperature they had.

I had perfect temperature of 27°C(81°F) without ventilation. With fans, ventilation is ideal, but temperature dropped to 22°C(71.6°F). Before I'll make more temperature there, should I turn off ventilation or leave it?

always always have ventilation, without that you are garanteed to get mold during flower. 22 is actually perfect. You know most of these cannabis genetics come from the mountains in thailand, and it never really gets more than 27 in the summer, in the morning it's cold and humid , you're better at 22 than at 27, 24 is ideal, hope this helps ! 🚀

Bonjour, si tu possède un timer je te conseil de brancher le ventilateur au timer et de l'allumé 30 minutes puis de l’éteindre 30 minute. Si tu n'a pas de timer cela ne coute pas très chere et cela reglera ton problème

Salit le jardinier ! c'est pas facile de choisir entre la température parfaite et une bonne ventilation mais bon tu devrais brancher ta ventilation sur un timer pour avoir genre au moins la moitié du temps avec un brassage d'air parce-que même si en croissance on s'en fous un peu en floraison il faut une bonne ventilation sinon t'a des champignons qui s'installe et de la pourriture bonne chance a toi bella ciao

@avemaly, 130 watts isn't going to cost you hardly anything to run, and you probably won't even notice it on your energy bill. You need to consult the manufacturers PAR chart but more than likely the 100 watt light will be perfect for veg around 18", but LST won't do anything to keep them short, on the contrary it will get them even further away from the light which exacerbates the problem.

@CRiSPrGrow, hey. Thank you for that answer! 😉Plants have now 24°C with another light. I'm wondering if I should put them to the real sun through windows, because my room has sunlight for few good hours so maybe they'll have more sun than 100W+30W led lights? And I would also save some electricity money. Also, I'm gonna move 3 of my plants to outdoors since I have room for only one. From these 4, one is NOT - The Incredible Bulk. I got 1 seed for free as a gift from the shop and I f**ked up because I have no idea which is which and I don't remember the strain of that 1. The only thing I remember was that this strain was more Sativa than Indica (probably 60/40% or 80/20%). Is it possible to recognize them right now? And does it matter which strain I choose or should I choose over how good/strong they look? The Incredible Bulk strain supposed to be the one that gives way more buds.
