Defining "germination" as Days 1-7
Day 1 Soaked my seeds until they sank. Using 3 gal fabric pots and 100% coco loco. I used easy rooters (I have never grown anything of note and read people have more success with these).
Day 2 - Just keeping the top layer of soil damp with 6.2ph H2O. Spritzed 3 times day one and 2.
Day 3 - GEL and GSC popped up fine, GG needed a little help as it seemed the top to stuck in the rooter. I am working regulating the environment. Installed my Pulse One today at canopy height. I am using it to regulate my humidifier, AC Cloudline and my heat. ill be dialing it all in this afternoon to get it just right. Just ph Water today.
Week 1 Veg will be Days 8-14
The Girls are doing fine, I literally have only been watering with 6.3ph RO water. I will not give a feeding until next week, it will be the first as the soils I am using is already amended.
I will start LST in the coming week and I will probably FIM the Gelato and Top the GG. I will just do LST on the GSC. I want to try all 3 techniques this first grow (I know dumb).
Side Note : I Went ahead and fim'ed the GSC and Topped the Gelato. the size of the GG led me to believe she is going to be small and don't want to stunt her at all.
Environment is perfect and super easy to control right now.
Just water, I will not amend the soil until Saturday or sunday.
they are getting much more thirsty. Watered after they woke up yesterday about .4-.5 gallons of 6.3ph RO and this morning they already need to be watered, night starts at 11 so ill water at 3 when they wake up, .5 gallons or more, I have been very cautious with watering ensuring to not overwater, I will go a bit heave tonight to se how they respond.
Surprisingly, the GG and the GSC, the 2 smaller plants, seem to be drinking more than the Gelato. Just an observation.
Still haven't started to train, just letting them get a bit bigger before bend them over. the nodes are so close right now I do not see any benefit, plus I am a little weary at their size that I may hurt them. Patience is necessary.

Well, Here are the girls at Day 21. All seem healthy, the GG still smalls but she is still growing so I cannot complain.
GSC is BEAUTIFUL, and perfect for LST today. I was able to open up a lot of good light. Topping did not seem to slow down anything with this girl, I think she is going to be the best of the 3 of you were to ask me now.
Gelato is a bush, the notes are so close. I rally cannot LST much yet as the branches are still a bit short to really move far. Where I FIMM'ed looks perfect, I think I will have 4 really nice healthy tops from it.
Of course everything above could be in vain. Up until today, after their 4 hours of sleep, I have done nothing but water with 6.3ph RO. Well these girls were amended for the first time this evening. I am only using Fox Farms for this entire grow, and if I am successful I do not see any reason to switch for a while. I am using the All Purpose, Fruit and Flower and Cavern Culture.
I did get some Organic Worm Castings Locally so they are not FF.
I really how I do not hurt them with this feeding, I watered the very well after and I will keep a close eye on them to see how they respond over the next couple weeks.
Hopefully I will Up the Fruit and Flower, add a touch more Caver Culture, and backk off the ALL Purpose a bit next feeding as we should be into early flowering by the next time they need it, i'm thinking in about 3 weeks. But I will listen to them and see what they say.
