This is my first time growing anything, i started germination of 6 seeds back on NOV 18th

Planted in solo cubs and fox farm ocean forrest soil on NOV 20TH
4 of the 6 popped the following day. The other 2 never did show their faces.

I now have 3 Fruit punch and 1 Atomic all growing.

I started the new seedlings under a few CFLs for first 4-5 days until moving them into the tent(4x4x7) and under the 600W mh.

Day 12 since sprout

Day 15 from sprout

One girl got droopy this morning, hoping she was just lacking water as I've just been using the light cup method for watering.

Other 3 all seem to be doing well.

Day 15 from seed

transplanted biggest girl, it was pretty easy, altho soil was very dry and loose, wanting to fall apart in my hand. Im really hoping i didnt do any damage to her.

Temps
78-80f / 37-40 rh lights on
71-72f / 37-40 rh lights off

Only PH`d water as of yet.
18/6 cycle

even with humidifier running non stop, cannot seem to increase humidity past 38-40%

diggs99 · Dec 7, 2018

Big girl seems to be bouncing back from her transplant, not quite so droopy today.

Transplanted the other 3 this morning

All given 8oz ph water 2-3 inches around base of stem.

diggs99 · Dec 9, 2018

19 days from sprout

All 4 girls were transplanted and then topped this past 2 days.
All 4 seem to be doing well, they have all been transplanted and this morning took their first real watering (ph`d) to runoff in the new 2g pots.

I expect 3-5 days before they are dry/light enough to water again. Next watering will include nutes for first time.

Your plants look good for the first grow, congrats.

One thing you will hear many people say is to go easy on the nutes, it's very easy to overdo it. Fox Farm Ocean Forest (FFOF) is a great choice of soil, and seeing how you just transplanted 2 days ago I would highly recommend that you do not feed these plants any nutes for at least another 2 or 3 weeks. They are just getting started in their new pots. Trust me, they will do just fine!

Hi, thanks for the response, glad to have you in here.

I wasnt quite sure when to start with nutes, read a grow journal of guy growing same strain and he started on day 25 , so thats where i got my baseline, one difference tho is he wasnt growing in FFOF he was growing in Roots Organic.

I will take your advice and hold off the nutes and just stick to Ph`d water for another 2 weeks and see how they are doing/looking

Don't have much to base it on other than pics of other peoples plants tho lol

diggs99 · Dec 12, 2018

I think I will try my hand at some
Lst , planning on tying down some branches in the 2 biggest girls, open up a few places to let those new future bud sites grow.

Reading and watching and learning as I go lol

Tried some LST on the 4 girls this evening. Hoping to flip around first week of January, so hoping this gives me enough time to train them before flipping
