1st Grow, Let Me Know What You Think

[stickythumb]

Ok, back with updates. Since I have last posted, the plants have hit a big growing spurt. I have started LST training today. Hope I'm doing this correctly, definitely getting more light to those lower growths.

I have fed twice now, with nutrient water and they seem to be responding to it well.

On the tallest plant I have what looks like swollen nodes. Could these be from thickening of branches, or are they a possible sign of preflower?

They will be starting their 4th week of veg tomorrow. 2 of the plants have a nice skunk smell to them, is this normal in veg state?

Thickening nodes just means she's growing. She's gonna need thick, strong stems to hold up those buds.
Smell this early is a good sign! I find plants that have a good smell in veg are the ones that really reek in flower. More smell means more terpenes which is a VERY good thing!! They look great.

Fantastic! Starting to really learn that less is more in some cases, awfully hard not to love them to death, but if you let them do their thing, seems as though they stay pretty happy. Can't wait to see how these finish out :) Thanks again

Ahhhh, you have found the secret, young grasshopper!

Lmao, oh but I have so much to learn! Hard to figure out if I'm having more fun growing, or reading and learning, After all, knowledge is power.

Has even opened my mind to possibly go back to school and earn a botany degree.

And people wonder why many of us say "cannabis is a way of life". It don't just get you stoned! It opens up our minds to all sorts of ideas, heals our bodies, teaches us patience and makes us want to be better humans. More power to you!

Yesterday was the start of the 4th week of veg. Lst was started on Friday and the seem to be responding well.
My temp is averaging 75 during lights off and 84 with lights on, Rh is 48%. Will be watering either later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Should this new growth be this dark? Could it be strain or a deficiency?
As for the plant being kinda droopy, I had watered it minutes before this post, she was thristy!

The new growth looks great.

Thank you, leaves just seem a bit darker than the other two plants, but then again maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me :)

 

[MamaBear]

No worries, some strains are just darker. Purple strains are usually very dark green, maybe there's some purple in her family line. You said it was bag seed, do you have any idea what it was? Looks great!

I honestly have no idea, if I come across a seed in something I like, then I put it aside. Your guess would be as good as mine, lol.

Yes.dont over water.water then let the medium dry out a good bit.

Back with a couple pictures, since lst they have really started to fill out. Still going strong :)

Really looking great for a first grow. Wish mine was that nice.

Very doubtful since N toxicity will show a slight burn at the leaf tip.


Those plants look great.

Man! You guys are the best, maybe I have some lady luck with me on this first grow. Thanks for taking the time to stop and look!

 

[stickythumb]

Alright, need some input. Do you guys think that I should wait until they show sex before putting them into flower...or should I flip them before?

 

[MamaBear]

Unless you're trying to push out a harvest in short order, let them get mature (show sex on their own). Will take a little while longer but a mature plant will produce way more buds. Hope you got 3 ladies!!!
