How do these babies look? 23 days old

Greengonja · Apr 19, 2026

23 days in. First grow. I’m trying to let them grow naturally with occasional tucking with the trellis net.

Might wanna do some homework on using a scrog.
Lots of ways but the use of the scrog let's you pull the stems sideways under the net and allow the nodes to pop up through the net. Just having it grow through the net will not offer support or increase yield. You will just have a net growing in the middle and you have to train and maintain in the same spot and it will be hard to check pot weight.
So just click those 3 horizontal bars at the top of the thcfarmer header. This is the roadmap for the train.
Look for forums and then catigories. Once in categories you can look for grow diaries or use the spyglass feature to search for scrog or trellis. It will then populate with threads that have info on scrog.
Also works with other topics.

Just asking,
But why the pallet ? And why not the pallet below the driptray, now the wood gets all wet and maybe sucks moisture out the pots?

So the pallet is because I’m out of funds. It allows water to drain out of the bottom of the fabric pots. Before I had them sitting on the ground and the roots and pot were water logged. I have plastic saucers under the pallet to collect runoff so I can pH test more efficiently.

They look great for 21 days! As JIM stated, check out some trellis techniques (why and when you use them) itll help out for sure : ) awesome job, man!

I currently have 3 scrog nets. I’m using the bottom one as a support. For the stems. I’m going to use the other two to put the nodes through as they get taller

I would just do the pots have room to drain. They have some expensive options and some cheap ones. I just built a pallet out of scrap lumber and bought 4 saucers for like 4.50$ lol

I have seen these, also on Temu...
Are they any good for the watering function ? Edit : Spider farmer is too expensive

I have not tried and prolly lost the wicks. There is a procedure to these that has you handing off hand watering to bottom watering but I was using organic liquid and having a bowl of that out in the open would have been an insect magnet.

If you were a hotdog would you eat yourself?
