The Little one
Towel to keep the little lady warm and dark
Damp paper towel wrapped over the seed in an old takeout dish.
Week 1. Always a rough week for me waiting for the seed to pop. Using my standard method of damp paper towel in Tupperware of some type, wrapped in a dish towel, and placed on a small heating pad. I have had 100% success with this method as long as the seed was less than 3 years old. These seeds just arrived in the mail last week. 48 from paper towel to rooter puck.
Rooter puck time is not slowing down the pace of this young lady. from Seed to first set of true leaves is only 6 days. Phenomenal in my opinion.
This concludes week 1 - Germination for me. Next week she will hopefully be moving to her new home and receiving a pair of brand new lights. I cannot wait.

Grow Questions
Korinthiusstarted grow question 4 years ago
Flower Stretch Question When I flip to flower, she will stretch and about double in size. Does this include all the bare growth I have cleared off during toppings? ie, if the stalk at the bottom is 12" from the bottom to the start of the last topping, does that 12" count in?
Solved
Plant. Too tall
Techniques. LST
Techniques. Main-lining

да. считается так: от начала предцветения и еще три недели - это период растяжения. некоторые сорта будут растягиваться 4 недели. за этот период растение вырастет еще на 140%. считаем: 12+140%=28.8
Если 12 это начало активного роста веток и растяжения, то примерно 28.8 будет ее рост в конце периода растяжения.

So more of a Grow Diaries question then Growing Question. My lovely plant seems to have hermied on a small section and created unseen pollen pods, which have now pollenated the rest of the plant creating seeds found this week. Do I continue my diary?

Plant. Other

if you want to... no obligations here.
you can make good quality hash from this plant. Anything involving a sieve or a sift...
other plants nearby? or will be in near future before harvest? things to consider... a few nanners isn't going to be bad.. if you had some full 'grapes' that opened up, there's a good chance the entire area of plants is heavily seeded...
sometimes it won't produce viable pollen... either way, the seeds will be trash from a self-herming parent even if other plants in area. not a good trait...

Do me a favour? Lift the power cables away from the floor... you’re running DWC for Pete’s sake...
Btw... Pete’s the bloke that sticks forks in electric sockets and uses umbrella in thunder and lightning ;)

@PharmaZ, The angle does not show that the power bar is actually raised, but only about a half inch off the bottom(It was designed for a server rack, and has a built in 10amp breaker). Power bar is then connected to a gfci outlet.
All of the buckets have overflows and the under table has an overflow as well that will send any leakages ( thankfully none, everything is fastened down pretty tight ) directly back into the main reservoir, which is actually below everything. System supports 3 plants in an ebb and flow configuration. Power bar is also connected to a gfci outlet.
On that note, I do have plans to relocate it as I have another light on order, and its current location will not support connections without additional extension cords being used, which I am not interested in doing.
Good eye though, most people only look at the plant, not the setup.

Nice clean looking hydro. I used to germinate the seeds then not cut but tear open a prepared eazy plug, like a muffin and place the seedling in the right position and close it back up. I don't do that any more because I have discovered that the eazy plug is so reliable and perfect that I just put the dry bean, pointy end down into the prepared plug, cover and wait three days and she will sprout 100%. This give a much better and more solid anchor with no chance of root damage.
as soon as the bean pops, before any roots come out of the plug you can at this stage put the plug directly into the clay pebbles, I'm sure you'll find this gives absolute minimal stress at this critical time. This give the very finest micro root hair the best chance of establishing themselves.

@Freddd,
Hey Freddd, thanks for the compliment.
End goal will be to mainline this young lady to 8 nodes, which will mean at this point, one more topping. This will most likely occur late this week or early next week. Once completed, I am aiming for approximately 6 weeks further veg time ( depending on how tall she goes, it may be extended ). She will also be Lolli popped in preparation for flower as well. In addition, one of the 8 main cola's will be tagged and sprayed with Colloidal Silver two weeks before I flip to flower, and again 2 weeks after she has been flipped to flower. The reason for this is simple, I have really been impressed with the look and growth of this plant, and I just don't wanna be buying more seeds :) I would rather put seed money into lights.
Side Note - She has been moved into her permanent tent yesterday, still on an 18hr light schedule. You will see more of her new home in next weeks update.
