I remember when I had my first grow two years ago, and I read in a book (I think it was the Handbook by Ed Rosenthal) that cannabis "grows like weed". Ha! It always seems difficult to start the seeds and I'm nervous the first couple of weeks because the seeds are so darn expensive that I'd hate to lose a plant, but by week 3 the plants take off and it just becomes a challenge to water them enough and feed them the right concentration at the correct frequency. I've reached that point, after bringing them inside for two days last week due to extreme temperatures (95 degrees outside). The seedlings are now about two inches tall and have the first set of five-lobed leaves...exciting when you can tell it's cannabis just by looking!
Looking good! I believe the minimum recommended temperature is 16-17 degrees Celsius. My plants hang around 17 every night with no issues.
Keep up the good work !
@@CloneKingz, I guess we (usually) cool down below 17 Celsius, but I haven't noticed any bad effects either. Right now, we're having hot daytime temps (above 90), so I guess I should begin thinking about the maximum high temperature these plants can take. I imagine that--with regular watering--they can stand some pretty warm temps.
@@decam, You're right...I've got about six weeks to go until harvest. The plants are short but a beautiful shade of green and covered with trichomes. Keep watching this diary! misterb
I've been doing a lot of reading, and from what I can tell, LST is the way to go for Autos. Just bend down the main stem so it's level with the rest, and keep bending down anything that get's taller than the others. It's a hassle, but apparently it will be worth it. If you look at my First Horrible Grow diary, the last picture I posted shows the result of doing neither with Critical Purp.
I may just try a different method for each of my four plants, stumay--especially since you had good luck and a better yield with LST. I topped one plant yesterday, so am hoping it will take that well! I'm heading over to check out your grow now. Joe
Nice grow, I popped a seed into a water bottle cut in half that I just let sit outside to see what happens. I’m looking forward to seeing how you outdoor grow goes
Good work! Congrats!
My CP from Grower’s Choice looks like a completely different phenotype. My CP plant has the skinniest leaves, top to bottom, and it has a very sativa-like structure and bud development. And the buds are very purple. I love growing from seed for that reason. You never know what you’re gonna get 🙃
Great job! Enjoy 😊
