The seedlings are developing fast and are actually bigger than the seedlings of my two first grow. During this week, I slowly increased EC of the fertigation mix and dropped the lights a bit. I also increased the power of the lights from 82 watts (lowest setting) tot 107 watts.
Only two of the seedlings will be transferred to their final pots. My first two grows I cultivated three plants, but it was always a bit crowdy. With this sativa strain, I prefer to have room to train the plants sideways, hence, only two plants this time.
So, good start, nothing to complain. Thanks for your visit and feel free to ask any questions or give remarks. Stay healthy, keep growing and enjoy the weekend!

Strain info (from breeder):
“UTOPIA HAZE is the result from generations of backcrossing and selection from a prized Brazilian landrace. In its first Cannabis cup the UTOPIA HAZE took both Cannabis and Sativa cups, and was called the overall favourite of the event. This is a tall mould and disease resistant plant, growing up to 130cm, and boasts a high yield of 650g per square metre. It bursts with citrus and mint flavours, and will give you a long lasting cerebral Sativa high.”
Smoked this from barneys last dam trip and it ripped me and the missis a new 1 high as hell sat outside bar people watching for hours.. Glad it grew well may try some day
