And to document a change I just did.. the QB came down to 85cm distance over the plant in the Veg tent.. 468 PAR Humidity is 54% and the tent temperature is 27.5C

And a Pic from last night.... No more boobies

Some pics of the room and current grow

Boobies!!!

Update: Day 12 of veg Theme of the week: DIY I planted the jiffies into coco/perlite on Saturday morning. My small fabric pots are a bit too shallow so I've opted to use polystyrene cups for now (fancy right?). I'll move to 4l fabric pots once they outgrow the cups. The seedlings got a bit leggy before I moved them into the veg tent. So I've added supports using wooden teaspoons and some wool (more fancy!) Growth is pretty good at the moment. I'm watering with a 30% strength fertilizer mix and slowly working up to full veg strength. Lights are about 50cm above the plants and somewhere around 50% strength. I'm increasing brightness a bit every few days. I'l considering lowering the lights a bit once I'm at 100% and the plants still look happy. I've quite creatively named the plants T1, T2 and T3 T1 T2 T3 So far so good :)

One last two A rather veiny seed and some canna butter from my Chronic plant

HAHAHA... maybe one day ill learn to read properly

All 3 little guys sank so this morning I dipped them in 401 and put them into peat pellets. I set put my 3D printer's heated bed on to 30deg and put my dome on top, hoping to get a temp of +/-25-27deg in the dome, so I'll adjust every now and then as needed.

I agree with @CreX tying the stems with string or laces can be problematic. You could be restricting growth. Rather use plant ties if you must and leave some space for the stem to expand

Thanks so much!! Yes first time competitor, I've been growing indoor for about almost 3 years now. So I'm not too bad

Day 4 of Week 3 Update (25th May) No feeding but they both work hard on leave set 4. I guess done tomorrow for Sisa, bit later for Tarryn. Video 24 - 25 May

Hi folks. So this weekend saw the transplant of the clone ladies from 15cm to 20cm pots. The root systems looked super happy and healthy with a nice shade of white. Mind the droopy leaves they got a feed straight after the transplant.. I will probably flip to flower this coming weekend as the height of the ladies should be sufficient enough to ensure nice big and tall main colas. Will post some close up pics with my first post flip post

Seeds are chilling in a luke warm bath

I got those pot stands at Agrimark, 20 a pop

That is @PippinTookpost, to add the details to the original post, as to how he waters. Crex, is right though, its a little bit of overwatering. Your fan, remove the box under it, and have it blowing through the canopy of the plant. Both will fix that.

only a pleasure and bless you too kind Sir damn boi, 6 years isn't all that long either hey! I am on my 4th "real" grow, started gathering indoor grow equipment beginning of 2019, had a harvest in that year and another 2 in 2020 then took a break cause I moved, still had plants around, didn't do anything serious though. been enjoying weed since 2008 and got into horticulture and permaculture at a young age, so been growing a few plants here and there. always outdoor. never took it serious, had one big harvest I can remember. then just few nice plants, the spontaneous 20g here and there planning my first "real" outdoor grow this coming season. only 2/3 potted plants, but will be a 60L and a 90L pot. testing the waters before diving in hahah soooo, I would comfortably say 1 year that I been "taking it serious" also owe a lot to the forum, besides learning about growing weed and how to understand the plant better , I literally built a working LED grow light. Few years ago I wouldn't even think of wiring up a wall plug. I am much more meticulous about caring for my plants and having things organised in my grow space that it's somehow become a part of my daily routine and shit, cause I am constantly thinking bout my plants and what I can do to improve, so when I get ideas and can't apply them yet cause I am at work or whatever it gives me a bit of OCD and then I start jittering if I don't get busy physically and usually that helps me get more work done faster and I think in more logical about how I do things and place things in general and with time management. I already seen this improving by itself over the years of caring and working with nature, but in the last year I have grown a lot too, gained soooo much confidence in my work and it seems to show. and that is thanks to peeps like you who's just hyper enthusiastic about what they do, fucking fire for reals brother

I agree, 2 or 3 more weeks and should be good. Doesn't look bad and flipping now will work, however I feel the extra wait and veg time will be beneficial. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Ok nice. I'd personally wait a little longer to allow the clones to establish themselves in the bigger pots and for the plants in the fabric pots to gain a bit more size. That will help lead to better yields too I feel. Bigger roots, bigger plants, bigger fruits. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Quick Garden Update. The girls are at start of week 6 and not looking too bad. But I thought the time for experimenting and reviewing was over and so it was time to remove the burples that weren't too bad until now but honestly..they have served their purpose. it was time to bring out the Mars Hydro SP to help out the Leon 200 finish up this grow

The girls are all three now almost the same lenth.. Stretchy.. Nr one still has the best wing span though.. I'll have to heat up the room more.. Currently 56RH and 23C during the day but it drops to 15 and RH OF 70 at night..

Nice looking labels :)

But... then what would I fiddle with????

Sugar Punch nice my avatar is a sugar punch I grew years ago

Those are some strange looking nipples!

Thanks man! if they keep pace with my other seedlings, i may be ready to train them soon!... or not... i still have no idea how im going to grow them hahaha

You cant go wrong with this stuff, Plus it never gets old, just better

i would stop with the H202 sprays TBH, at most it is more of a preventative measure - when you can you should get yourself some of the products @The_StonedTrooper mentioned earlier, a typical arsenal would include pyrol, neem oil, copper soap, AQSF, h202, and then add various products for specific goggas if you need to oof,i thought they were a little earlier in flower... if your pm isnt bad...i would maybe go with a 30% solution of the stuff anyways to keep it at bay, and then going forward, treat them in veg and you wont suffer in flower.

i love the confidence!! stick around after the competition man, we could use some additional experience on the forum

If you use Milk, make sure to use the low fat or lactose free, or your cannabis will smell of sour milk soon and mould grows on that now.

Its looking great already, and I'm sure they will turn out just perfect if you flip next week or so. But when plants become more established in the root zone, they essentially end up growing/vegging faster. Veg another 2/3 more weeks and the growth will be surprising. Also the small clones that you going to flower in there too with the other plants, I like that Idea, wondering if there is a way to separate them big pots one side and clones another and possibly elevated if necessary, just an option, then the bigger plants wont shade them heavily. Otherwise, looking great brother flip now or later! Still gna be a banger!

Yes sir that will be the idea to increase the yield for the tent. And also my mobility will be a bit of a problem for the next few weeks so don't want to be moving pots around. Hopefully with the clones I can get to that 300g or more again.

WOW!! So 2 days after transplant and I walk into this. Did not expect such a big difference. The game is on now, Hahaha

So true... But if my nabour is in a race with me for the best plate of food and from the start he has turkey and I have bread.. I'm off to the soup citchen... At the end of the day its all in fun and we learn from each other.. Me as a new indoor guy just love this.. I'm making notes again.. This is a awesome platform to improve ones skills with one of the best hobbies there is..

Chamberlains sells them about 30 bucks each , As for the Leds and components got them for them Mouser , rs components , Iced led But would honestly say its not worth it to buy them like that any more you would be far better off buying a Quantum board or 2 and some meanwell drivers

Original theme. Winding down.

Update: Day 7 of veg Left one is growing pretty well. Middle one, a bit slower but also ok Right on only has half a true leaf and no additional leaves yet. I'll pot them into bigger fabric pots tomorrow morning. I should have done that today but ran out of time Its pretty cold here at night now. I changed the lighting schedule to be off for 4 hours from midday. That way the lights help keep things warm at night. Currently temps are not going much below 18, max is somewhere around 24. I'll see about extra heating over the weekend. I think the overall lower temperatures are slowing things down a bit.

Well done so far man.. Love the detail.. Your medium.. did you mention what you are using?

Hi administrators, my humblest apologies for the late update, I was going to do it two days ago (15/05/2021) when my seeds sprouted but I wanted more development before I updated – no excuses though! Here is my update from last time: *Day #2 (10/05/2021): Checked seeds for development. Also, changed water in shot glass. *Day #3 (11/05/2021): Checked seeds for development. One seed in shot glass split and tap root started developing. I took out the split seed and transplanted into a new container with soil (Black square pot). No progress on other two seeds. *Day #4 (12/05/2021): Observed two pots/containers for development (yoghurt tub and black pot). No new development in both containers, shot glass also had no new development. I changed water in the shot glass. *Day #5 (13/05/2021): Observed seeds for new development. No new development. Watered two pots (soil was getting dry) and changed water in shot glass. *Day #6 (14/05/2021): Checked pots and shot glass for new development. Noticed seedlings in both black pot and yoghurt tub are pushing towards the surface, moving towards the light, this is a good development for me. No new development in shot glass, changed water. *Day #7 (15/05/2021): Observed shot glass for new development. Noticed that the seed split and tap root is beginning to develop - I am planning on leaving this seed in the shot glass for 2-3 days before transplanting into a new pot/container, I will still be changing the water daily. *Day #8 (16/05/2021): Observed containers and shot glass for development. In shot glass, the seedling tap root is developing nicely, I am still planning on transplanting into new container within 2-3 days. I noticed that the seedling i the small yoghurt tub is developing fast and might get root bound soon/outgrow the small container so I am transplanting during dark cycle into a larger pot - round orange pot. The black pot will need to be transplanted into a larger pot in 3-7 days - however the plant first needs to develop more leaves and get stronger before I transplant (stressful on the seedling/plant). *Day #9 (17/05/2021): Just observed seedlings development, watered pots and changed water in shot glass. #NB: I'm using a CFL light (6000k 7W) for my seedlings and start of veg. I will later switch to stronger lights (2x LUMii T5 6400k 24W bulbs) but I was advised that these lights are great for seedlings because they are less harsh on the seedlings - light intensity and spectrum. Before flowering stage I will be getting a new light (LED Full Spectrum Light, 3000k 120W) to optimize the light received by plants during the bloom/flowering stage. Disclaimer: I am sort of new to the indoor grow setup but I've been wanting to start an Indoor grow for years now, I already did all my research in the past and currently, now it's just time to practice what I learnt.

So the couriers just dropped my seeds off which means I'm the official "laat lammetjie" . Thanks for the weekend's grace @420SA and community In light of this I'll start my diary off with my planned approach and then figure out how to deal with losing about 2 weeks of veg . My thinking here is to cause as little stress as possible, meaning final pots with LST and no topping. My germination strategy would be dropping the seeds into luke warm water until the morning after which all 3 will go straight into peat pellets. I'm going to use my 3D printer bed and set it to 30deg for a makeshift heat mat to give them a cozy welcoming. Once they've sprouted and roots have shown they'll go directly into their respective final pots. My normal growing method is hydro and I'm going to free up 2 slots by potting my current grow into fabric pots and then try my hand at organic with the last bean (successful germination permitting). My current grow is only 4 weeks into veg now so they should recover... right? For my hydro I'll be using my usual T.A. (GHE) Tri-Series regime but this time including Environoc 401. I'll be keeping... loosely... to the feeding charts minus about 25% and then adjusting thereafter according to their needs. A comment by @CreX somewhere in my travels here got me interested in "bioponics" and I've since started incorporating Environoc 401 in my other tent with some positive results. Definitely think this is my hydro route I'm following here. As for my organic grow I'll be using T.A Pro Organic along with Environoc 401 and MycoRoot in Freedom Farms soil and fabric pots. My set up for this grow will be a 120x70x165cm tent with an old style BestVA LED drawing about 240W at the wall, hopefully I'll be able to invest in a QB before flower . For vent I have a 6" inline exhaust fan and a 4" inline intake fan pulling air in from outside. I'm excited for the opportunity to grow alongside and learn from the veteran horticulturists here Let's do this!

Technically If it's barely tied and is just supporting the stem it should be fine but I agree with @CreX& @420SAit's best to use garden ties or try not to tie seedlings at all by supplying a better light that will limit your stretch

Welcome to Week 3 Starting day 1 of week3 I give you a few pictures. Forgot the feeding ^^ they got NOTHING ^^ The Veg tent is set lighted up for 400 to 600 micromol PAR on the plants. We are on 411.. is the lowest I get in that corner ^^ The hanging distance is 115cm in that setup for the 288 QB above the plants. Ups, m should be a n.. just imagine it ^^ Video for the 21 - 22 May
