This is my first time growing. I started by dropping the seed in a glass of water, then let it rest in a dark place and waited for 10hours. When I checked it was still floating in top, i gave it a light tap and it imidiatly sank to the bottom. 8hours later i moved the seed into plastic container with wet paper towel. 24h later it finally germinated. 😊 Soo cute!!! It took some time to grow, but after about 55hours it finally was 1.5-2cm long. So I decided it was time to move it into the soil. I got a 8Liters (about 3 gallons) smart pot and filled it with BioBizz Light Mix. I pre-watered with about double amount of water. So soil was really wet and water was running out on the bottom. The plan was to let it rest for 24hours, close to my heater for the soil to be nice and warm (i still waiting for my grow lamp to arrive in the mail). *I did NOT add any supplements* Since my little seedling took so long to germinate and to grow her little "feet" it kinda threw of my soil watering plan... By the time the seedling was ready, the soils has been drying for 48hours. Double the time from what I planned πŸ™ I'm a bit worried about that. I should add the air is pretty dry where I live...specially I'm the winter with all the heaters running. I decided to spray the soil with a mister just a little bit, before I pushed a small hole (about 1-2 cm) into the earth and placed the seedling carefully in it. Then gently covered it with tiny bit of the soil. I came across a post where people use a "humidity dome" and figured to give it a shot. Trying to keep it simple i took a plastic bad and covered the entire pot. Shortly after I could see humidity building up inside the bag. So this is where I am at right now. I ordered a 150w cob light which should arrive after tomorrow and some nutrients from BioBizz (bloom , grow and max) . If anybody has any advise for me I would love to hear it :) I am really unsure about this plastic bad thing... Don't want to suffocate my little friend 😳 20.Jan 1am She's born! 4 days since I first have her a soak in the water cup. She looked pretty yellow, so I understood she probably didn't love the plastic bag i quickly got rid of it, and let her rest in a warm quiet spot. But I think I already did the next mistake I decided to let her sit under my bathroom window. I thought it's plenty of daylight, bit a day later the seedling started stretching more mad more. Lucky my COB light arrived and I put a small grow mix together that I built out of a small cupboard. Another. Day and she still kept getting taller,this is when I decided to add more soil from the top to give the long skinny stem some support. I DID NOT replant the seedling or watered it at this point. I handled everything extremely gently, and now she recovered from it just fine and now has a regular hight @13days / 13cm tall adding the 3 cm that I covered with soild, so that basically makes her 15cm :)

Hi there,not recommend to defoliate if there isn’t a good reason to do.Like do some defoliation to lower down tent humidity,to make a good air flow if too bushy.Defoliate some leaves If they are damaged or shaded below the canopy.May be some lollipopping if there are too many popcorn buds underneath.Other than those, shouldn’t do.Those fan leaves are acted like extra sources of energy for plants.Only recommend to defoliate at the start of flowering circle and again at 3rd week of flower or at the end of stretching period.Later than those period,you shouldn’t stress the plant anymore and let her grow happily until harvest.Happy Growing... ✌️

I am at week 8 &week 4 of flower with my PPP auto. I think she's got about 3 more weeks to harvest. The flowers seem quite small comparing to some results I saw from her growers. what do uguys think? Should I cut some popcorn buds?

Ideally any lollipopping should be done before flowering, but some selective and well considered removal of the smallest flowers shouldn't impact your plant too much. After looking through your diary for this plant, I think you may have over done it with defoliation, causing your plant to being unable to produce enough energy for proper flower growth. At this stage you still have a fair way to go before harvest is close, another 4-6 weeks maybe, so you shouldn't bee too concerned with the smallish flowers just yet, but do not remove any more healthy green leaves, your plant needs every one of them to make the energy she needs for flower growth. Comparing your results to others is not really helpful, there will always be others with better results, just as there will be others with lesser results, there are just too many variables involved with cultivation to make comparisons fair. Also, with only one 150 watt light, your plant isn't exactly going to set any records. Your plant still has much growing to do, so don't get too concerned yet, but give her her best chance to perform by not removing any more leaves, unless they are yellow, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose. Hope this helps,........ Organoman.

Hi guys, I'm in week 12 going on 13 with my ppp auto. Still no sight of her finishing. Am I doing something wrong? She's looking healthy, all leaves are green only the tiny bit of leave tips are turning brown. Should I keep watering and feeding her like normal?

Hi Mel, keep going for at least 2 weeks on the feed (imo) then check trichomes, your running biobizz so organic πŸ‘ once you have the trichomes where you want (I go for about 10% amber) then flush thoroughly (when your flushing you will know your getting it right as the plant will yellow in front of your eyes!!) Trichomes - clear neither use or ornament, all cloudy - max THC, amber - THC starts to degrade giving the more "I can't be arsed effect' hope this helps πŸ‘

My auto is @ week 13 from seed and week 9 of flower. Her leaves are green and healthy looking. Just tips are slight brown. I tried to check tricomes (i saw quite a few ambers, as first time grower I find it difficult to determine how many procent ambers there are). Any advise?

Looking at all your pics from this week I would say the plant as a whole has a ways to go yet. You might have a branch or two that are further along(probably the spots getting the best light) that you could cut a little early and just chop in stages. It might actually encourage it a bit.

Hi, is it normal that the leaves are so dark green? First i thought it's a sign they're super happy , but i just read a post that dark green leaves could be an indication for over feeding...? Any thoughts? Happy growing everyone!

I would normally say that is too dark a green but you can not argue with a healthy looking plant. The dark color could just be the strain/genetics you are growing.

I would flush now and harvest in a week. You have plenty of amber, technically you could harvest now. I would wait a week if the lower buds still show lots of clears.

You have two choices its just the same as any fresh bud growth in late flower you can let it mature to reach the same as the other bud which can take an extra week or so or you can just crop it and take the good with the bad the ball is in your court my friend shes looking great :) Best of luck for a hearty harvest :)

By the way dark periods do have science behind them. An article was published and showed that two days of darkness increase the THC potency by quite a bit. I am yet to locate the article but it was a proper study with all the science stuff.

Makes sense ,the only thing is that i can't change my light problem (the top buds are almost touching the led) so won't she just continue to grow more foxtails??

Make sure you light is being adjusted and your plants aren't stretching because there not getting enough light ... as flowering beings you want the stretch to take place thoe some LST might help with further height issues rather than chopping at her to slow her growth will reduce yeild

@Mel_Macallan, I had to skip LST with 12 girls and about 100 small branches it's too much work , I think I'll support each branch agasint the next during flower and off my attic beams. I topped 9 girls there and didn't slow growth so I've 20 top flower site's and about 100 branches it gonna look pretty during flower ... next is x2 12 pot runs one photoperiod and one auto 12 pot all the new 2021 sweet seeds strains

Bigger box, higher intensity light or manline your plant, no much else you can do for the growth in that small of box but start cutting.
