You said this was your first grow as well correct? Not sure if you got it or not, but had actually pm you about an update, and here it is! Looking good, any estimates of what you think you'll yield off of them? How many plants you got in there and how big a space?
No I didn't get ur pm

Obviously they were all stunted with the numerous issues that they encounter the first couple weeks (i.e. my stupid nutrient overload, two growers, moving and transplanting, etc) but even with all that is it just me or are they REALLY small still? Probably a totally stupid question. Any pics of your grows at like 1 month into veg? Just asking as the IB, DM and LC will be a month old on the 17th I believe (gotta double check date but +/- 2 days) and then the 2F2V was started about 10 days later. Just liked to have an idea how bad I hurt these girls (obviously the LC was BRUTALLY beaten lol).

Obviously, different strains = different results, but would be nice even just for a general comparison I guess?
 
I'll get a couple pictures up in like 15 min my key lime pie was stunted from late transplant than I found a seed of Chem dog in some bud I had so I germinate it took like 7 days lol but the guy took off a lot more stretch to it as I also transplanted a lot sooner but also makes me think it might be a male but I have.mainlined 2 of them and topped the others and just as of like 3 days ago I topped all my nodes since I already took clones to try to put my clones into flower to sex them as they veg out for 2 more weeks to recover before flower

I had heard its good to let your plants recover from any stress before flower (other then lst) but is 2 weeks a good rule of thumb normally? Just wonder, as I still plan to veg mine for hopefully close to another month before switching to 12/12. Gotta have time to harvest, trimmed, and in jars curing before the big move, so making sure to give myself a little extra time for flowering stage.

Any help you would like to share would be greatly appreciated, links are helpful! Thanks for the comparison, nice to have something to look at! Obviously flower is the best part of the grow and what I always find photos off lol. LMAO I'm not the only one who plays music to my girls?

Keep in mind though I'm growing from clone, since you're growing from seeds your plants are symetrical. Notice how mine looks a little whacky? Also you look like youre growing mostly indica strain, they're short and bushy naturally you know? And yes I cant wait til i make it to flower :D I can give ypu what little knowlede i have mah man!

For links I would just search, search, search, spend as much time as you can looking up anything that comes to mind and you'll learn bro! Hopping in and just growing is the best resaearch you've already started boss! :D

I definitely get what you mean as far as difference from a clone grow and seed grow, however obviously have never played around with clones myself....yet. I believe the Incredible Bulk and the 2Fast 2Vast Auto are both stated to be 80/20 indica dominant, with the Dream Machine being a 60/40 indica dominant, however it says the Lemon is 80/20 sativa.

Also one last thing lol. Notice my dark leafs on the bottom? A couple of blades have clawing, likely from a nitrogen toxicity, and or mag deficiency. An example of my solution is to keep flushing and add some cal-mag. This all happened because first week of veg and I added my FFT to an already sufficient FFOF soil with plenty of nutes. Lol on my first grow as well but the people on this site helped me diagnose my plant. Some good info on here man.

Yeah so I think all those will end up shorter, my clone is a pure sativa strain. Tall and lanky specially when i hit flower.

I had put grow pig in the 2 week got burn let them recover and they out grew the cups in a couple days had to build a small closet to hold all 6 in big pots I think that stunned them I had broke one mainline it but it dint slow the one side down at all both are even and have bandage off now

That was kind of my intentions when ordering the first time. Wasn't sure how much height I'd have otherwise as I'm currently running 600w MH for Veg and will be switching to a HPS for flower, so wanted to make sure temps didn't get to hot overall, and didn't want to worry about running into burning my plants.

Thanks for sharing those pics man, I greatly appreciate it. Looking good! Just nice to have something that I can use at least somewhat as a comparison!
