How is my first time growing?

TannedViking · Nov 14, 2025

Happy Frog is a good one. It has about 3 weeks of nutrition in it (this is the closest i could find, so could be more but the bag should have that info on there somewhere), with mycorrhiza so i dont think you have to add more to it. That stuff can grow roots on a spoon, figuratively speaking.

If you're unsure if you have to feed, water till runoff next time and put your tds meter in. When it dips well below what your chart recommends it should be, it's time to feed.

Another update I germinated 2 more seeds now I have one that sprouted already and another on the way

Yeah I get that a lot right before my light turns off and while it’s resting. like that’s 30 mins after my light turns off. But I did just fed it about 3 days ago and just watered this morning it could be that.

Hey guys I am wondering when exactly do I know to switch the plant over to flower?

It depends on how long you want to veg and how much space you have and the light for the space. I would do a prune on the plant and continue to veg in my opinion. You have plenty of space to fill. Do some reading on topping/ fimming and lst while you're plant is still this small. You will thank me later. You will achieve a better yield in the long run. Patience is key to growing.

I did not see the training stake lol. But still I would do a lot more training and veg for a couple more weeks.

I topped once when would I do the others

Set that net up about 30 - 60 cm above your growing medium and use it to help train.

You could top the other two tops that are close to the top of the canopy. But one top is fine if you lst with the med and veg for a while longer. All the nodes that are lower than the top will have them energy to grow and you will get a more even canopy with a bunch of mains. Do some lst research and look at how a lot of other growers are using their nets. You can top as many times as you want if you have time for recovery. Lst doesn't need any real recovery time because you are not removing any of the plant, just moving energy focus.

To do a good lst, you start off removing the 1st node and the nodes above the third node. And you bend the 2nd and 3rd parallel to your grow medium and continue on from there. There are a lot of ways to train. That's why I said to do some reading so you can find a method you want to do. I have seen growers achieve to many tops to count using different methods. I try to only make the plant big enough for space and pot.

Try LST but from the INSIDE. With opposed bracing. It's quite novel, I like the look.

pnwbluntman · Nov 17, 2025

I noticed your temp is 66.6... lol the devil is trynna get ya lol jp. You might want to raise the temp to mid '70s. 60s is ok for photosynthesis but you want the leaf temp a little higher during light time

This is what I have so far now after putting training on is this okay or should I go for more? Also the grow light literally clicked on the second I went to take a pic so it just came out of night time

Weedgrown5 · Nov 17, 2025

I have this one popped out like yesterday

That's a great start for the training. Give it time and your plant will flourish

Plant looks awesome! Healthy and green

Thats a wicked tent pole shelf....never notices them before.....good idea

I'd make and print handy shit like that but my printer is junk.
