Hello! First and foremost.. thanks for stopping by! After many years and dreams of growing I'm finally giving it a go. I will update this "diary" every Sunday with the previous weeks progress. All feedback is welcome as long as it's done in a constructive manner. Please keep in mind this is my first grow and will be learning and making adjustments as I go. I am growing in tent indoors in the Midwest. STRAINS: 7 Super Skunk 1 Tahoe OG Possible HiFi 4g & Slurricane clone EQUIPMENT: 5x5 Vivosun grow tent 1 ViparSpectra P2000 LED (additional LED will be added in 2 weeks.. next payday 🤪) AC Infinty 6 inch Carbon Filter AC infinity cloudline T6 fan 3 gallon smart pots Two 11 inch honeywell "desktop" fans Vivosun Seedling heat mat Seed Sarting station InkBird humidity Controller 8 socket surge protector with built in timer Ducting Metal grating Rope hangers Zip ties Solo Cup Fine mist spray bottle SOIL/NUTRIENTS Fox Farms Light Warrior seedling starter soil Roots Organic Original Soil Distilled water (room temp with Avg PH 6.3) Coconut water 50ml/gallon Roots Organic dry fertilizer lineup January 11th - ordered 20 Super Skunk feminized seeds from ILGM.com. the order process and payment was easy and intuitive. Was updated by email every step of the way. I did not pay the extra $25 for the ability to track my package, however ILGM did email me once product was shipped as well as when product was out for delivery. January 25th- Seeds delivered. Pkg was discreet. I would have like to see some type of pkg that took into account the cold weather, however I was home to pick up pkg so it wouldn't sit out in cold. January 26th- today is the day I attempt my first germination. I decided to germinate 6 seeds using the direct in soil method. Soil I am using for germination is Fox Farms Light Warrior. Watered with distilled water that was at room temperature with an avg PH of 6.2. Germinating in a seed starter tray using a seed heat mat. January 27th - Watered as needed January 28th- First seed sprouted. Germaninated an additional 6 feminized super skunk seeds using same method as above. Watered as needed. Recieved two tahoe OG seedlings from a friend. They are roughly a week ahead of mine. Both seedlings have a little yellowing on leaves. Both seedlings were transplanted into FF light warrior soil. Watered as needed. Placed in tent under ViparSpectra P2000 LED at 25% power 30 inches above. Tent at 71° F 65% Humidity at 18/6 light cycle. January 29th- two additional seeds sprouted. One seed from first batch pushed itself out from soil and tap root was exposed. Gently placed back in soil. (No change since) Second seed sprouted was from second batch germinated. Watered as needed using coconut water at 50ml/gallon. January 30th- Two additional seeds sprouted. Both are from second batch. Watered as needed. Added 10inch fan into grow tent set on low. January 31st- These two as well as sprout from yesterday were transplanted into Solo cups with FF light Warrior soil and moved into tent with same parameters as above except LED was moved to 40% power. Watered as needed. Feb 1st - started germanting 3 more SS seeds. Dug up the 4 seeds that had not germinated and trying a second time. No water for other seedlings today. Feb 2nd- no water Feb 3rd- 1 seedling emerged from the soil!! Watered with coconut water 💧 End of the week thoughts: I believe I watered both the seeds and the sprouts way too much. Backing off water until soil is dry. In the future I would like to try germinating in water and paper towel. I like this idea as I know whether or not the tap root pops... currently I'm left wondering 😔 Questions: At what point are the plants in VEG? Is it as soon as they sprout? Any idea why some leaves on the Tahoe OG are yellow? Some new sprouts are also more like green than others.. thoughts? 18/6 or 24 for veg.. thoughts?

you got that mae, no pollen sacs have opened up so you should either separate the male to collect pollen and dust branches for seed, or get rid of him. if your interested in seeing how it is done look at my diaries, the newest ones all have been seed up by dusting and now ill have seeds for later, so if thats your goal you will have it, if not then get rid of him before the sacks open cause it will get everywhere

@BigCough, it’s amazing how fast they bounce back and your killing it for a first grow mate

@Nugs_are_us, haha I was pretty upset at first.. but honestly it only affected about 3 leaves 🍃 on 1 plant. It was a good lesson in learning amount of guano to use. Now just sad it's not as pretty as the others.. but defoliation will fix that 😅. Thanks for taking a look!

Starting to get a little bigger now mate. Have you thought about what training you are going to do with your girls??
Nugs_are_us

@BigCough, love the dad joke 🤣🤣 sounds like you have done some reading mate! We’re gunna do the same top at the 4th keep the 3rd node and lst train it. I’ll prob top twice but so we can get 8 or more main colas.
BigCough
BigCough
@Nugs_are_us, they are.. growing like a weed haha lame dad joke I know. I will be topping all plants at the 3rd or 4th node as well as LST. I will also be lollipoping before transitioning to flower as well as selective defoliation. I may attempt super cropping on one or 2 plants to see of I prefer that over LST. Also will be using a duel Scrog net. However since this is my first time I am up for some suggestions or advice. What you think?

Hey, how's it growing? I'll try and answer your questions. 1-A plant stays in the seedling stage until it starts to grow some roots, usually the second set of leaves. 2- ?? 3-Genetics, different plants have different shades of green, my Lambs Breath is really dark compared to my smoothies. 4- I like 18-6 for the light cycle just becuase I think the plants need a little break from the intense light(my opinion). Check out groweedeasy.com ,it's a very helpful website. Hope this helps. Grow Big!!
