First week of my first grow! Each week I will have updates, comments about what I did and what I think I could have done differently, etc. I welcome any and all feedback, questions, comments or laughs at my expense! I have listed a bunch of the core components of the grow below. Sprouted the seedlings using the paper towel method. Placed the seedlings in the RapidRooters (which had been soaked in PH balanced water and then squeezed to remove excess moisture) and turned on the light when I started to see the tops of the seedlings. I initially placed the light about 36" from the seedlings and they looked like they were stretching so turned down the light further and placed it closer to the plants. In my excitement, I should have let them grow longer in the Rapid Rooters or better yet put them in Solo cups with some coco around it to allow additional growth before transplant. In any event, I soaked my Coco and Perlite mixture in a light nutrient solution 24 hours before transplant and moved the seedlings into their final home on day 5 (see final two pics). Setup: Seeds: ILGM Blue Dream (sativa dominant hybrid) & California Dream (indica dominant hybrid) Growing Medium: Mother Earth Coco w Perlite (70/30 PH balanced) Tent: Secret Jardin DS 120 Lights: 2 x CF Grow Cree COB 200W LED Exhaust Fan: TerraBloom ECMF 150 w Programmable Thermostat Internal Fans: 2 x Holes 12" Blizzard Fan Hydro: AutoPot Easy2Grow 6 Pot System w AirDomes Air Pump: General Hydroponics Dual Diaphragm Air Pump Smart Sensor for Humidity: Aqara Homekit Hub w/ Thermometer & Hydrometer Sensor & Smart Plugs Humidifier: Homech Cool Mist Humidifier Dehumidifier: GE 30 Pint Dehumidifier Filter: AC Infinity 6" Carbon Filter

Seem's like you have similar experiences with the BD stretch, never had a plant stretch as much as with Blue Dream. Nugs seem chunky, nice job! 👽

@@WeedbayGardens, yes it was incredible how much the girls stretched. I was cautious with them height-wise due to what I had read and was glad I didn't grow them too tall before flipping the switch otherwise I would have run out of overhead room! Thanks for the note! Happy cultivating!

I know there's not a lot of additives just thought I'd mention mate ;) Indoors I use bloom and PK 13/14 that is it! Never let me down

@Allaboutguerrilla, thank you! Even though I knew that it’s easy to overfeed I fell into the trap haha! It’s a learning process. Thanks for the tips!

Looking good mate! Could probably ease off the root stimulator! The EC will rise and you'll want to only use what's necessary. From experience too much additives can overwhelm the plant ;) All the best mate!

amazing grow dude. I am on my second grow, using flora nutrients aswell. Did you water these plants in flower everyday? I'm at week 5, feeding my plants 5 ml of florabloom and 15 ml of big bud coco and it gets fed every 24 hours

Can i ask you how you used your flora clean. How late did you go with hutes until florakleen??

@Xspellsx, I ended up not using it (why I gave it a neutral rating). I went with just ph’d balanced water for the final two weeks (one week before harvesting colas and then another before finishing the harvest). Good luck!

I know this is old but I have a pure indica strain that stretches insanely.. any new growth will be an 18-20 inch cola after stretch.. with huge space between lower buds on branch
