3 to 4 days after using the paper towel method. All 3 seeds sprouted strong and long. Put all 3 in solo cups with slits cut on the bottom of the cups for drainage/oxygen. I used Fox Farms Happy Frog soil. Perfect for these babies so far.

Almost 2 weeks here and some pics are right before or at 3 week mark. Lost 1 baby out of 3, but it was my fault. Her stem got snapped. They bend over and fight for the light I've noticed lol! Grow lights implemented going into the 3rd week & they started growing faster with no more stretching.

3 and a half weeks. I will add more info later. Not using solo cups anymore lol! Also fed them for the first time 5 days ago. I'll be moving them into their tent very soon. This is my first time, so be easy on me. (That's what she said!)🙆‍♀️😂

Just playing catch up on the pictures here. Smooth sailing & got my girls a small mansion, 2x2 36 inch grow tent🙆‍♀️🏝️ About 4 and a half to 5 weeks here. Smell is up. Waiting for fan/filter combo to be delivered. TLC all day because I'm home all the time now to do so❤️The lights I already had and are obviously doing a great job. I may have to get a new light for the flower cycle soon. Any recommendations, cheap but quality?

Lots of bloom spots are popping up everywhere! The smell is getting intense. Smells like lemons/citrus fruits, very sour but earthy. Easy grow so far.🤞🌿🙆‍♀️Video is the girls in their small tent with my temporary DIY ventilation lol. Take a look! 🙏😍❤️🙆‍♀️ Also thinking of starting trellis netting this week, what do you all think? I would be using the 3 inch square netting. Also need recommendations for a grow light for the autoflowers remaining cycle and for future grows coming soon!

Check out the Mars Hydro TSW 1000. Perfect for a 2x2 and its new LED tech. Much more efficient. Stay away from blurples, they're a thing of the past these days. Best wishes!

I installed the inline fan and carbon filter combo and added a ts600 mars hydro light. Major growth within 2 days of that. The one that's always been taller is 3 inches from the light so I may move her outside. She's always been a free spirit 😆 I have some cal-mag coming in the mail today so we can give them a healthy kick to party on this weekend and the rest of the grow as needed. I did some pruning/defoliation and it went as perfect as possible. In the home stretch now. Also started some msnl lowryder #2🌱

I started cutting some leaves off to keep away mold since my tent is smaller than most and to accommodate the equipment recently installed.

Haven't logged on for a while but I did some pruning and my girls are getting there. This was about 10 days ago and I am very happy with their progress.

hey nice grow :) how much was the carbon filter/exhaust? I'm having smell issues and despite it being legal where I live I still rather not draw attention. Also was it bought from Amazon. Thats where I got all my gear so far.

@OneBakedWalrus sorry just logged in after a while. Anyway it's actually an ipower 4 inch combo and was 100.00 Stayed cheap but stealthy and healthy.

You need 150 to 200 real watts of light. Take a look at solstrip.com they work great

@AliceInChainsmoke, actually your are spot on on the time for trelling. If you do it too soon, there won't be any space to work below the trellis, even watering would be a pain in the ass.

AliceInChainsmokecommented5 years ago
@@Athos, thx. Do you think I could put some trellis netting on them?...or is it too late?

Hlg is where it's on the LEDS for quality and price but you'd only need the Hlg QB65 for such a small tent , the company FEIT electric had some great plant lights 32w but for the power they are expensive but you do get high MOL And PAr which along with lumens and spectrum are the things to be sure you look at when your buying an LED grow light , there are some absolute shit lights so be careful lol
