New to this!

Yes! Pretty sure im going to switch over to the gaja green next time. As long as I can find it. If not, I'll have to revisit and find a great substitute for it.

I using ProMix BX, this year for my seedlings. I'm liking it so far.
Feeds for about 7 days before u need to amend it. I'm just using slow release organic fertilizer. Starting with light feeding, and hit um full strength once they get established in their pots. That's all they should need till I transplant outdoors, besides water.

I'll look into that for sure. I mean the proof is in the pudding. You're plants look amazing in my option. Hoping to keep up, and do these some justice. I'd eventually like to try my hand at outdoors. Down the road though.

Last year I used old potting soil mixed with dirt from my garden. Had to constantly arrogate the soil cause I used too much dirt., and itd compact, making it difficult for root growth. Gala green and ProMix are staples in the cannabis world, from what I've seen.

I'm also trying "Jack's". Veg and bloom nutes, Outdoors . I love their NPK #S

I Can see that. I bet that was a LONG season. That's pretty smart reusing soil. Just add new amendments and boom. I've read a lot into the gaja green. I'm definitely a fan. Also watch a grower on YouTube who swears by them. His foundation is very solid as well. Back on topic though. That reason alone has me thinking. Try to find a few tricks for when I transplant. I'm thinking about running a PVC channel down to a hole filled cup, (almost like a strainer). Attach air hose and pump fresh air into it. Like those auto pot set ups but budget friendly. I'm not to familiar with many nutes brands or how many are good. Im definitely looking into that soil. Seems like if I can't get the gaja promise it is.

Had to be done.

Turns out one turn herm. End of week 3 flower. Don't know what to do. Guess I'll just chop her...

 

[cpurola]

Are these regular seeds? The herm. may be a genuine male. Some people keep them and save the pollen for breeding. Of course, you'd have to have a separate area that won't allow pollen into the harem.

They were purchased as photos unfortunately. So I'm assuming I just stressed her too much.

Photos can be fem or regular seeds!
There are feminized photos, and regular male/ female photos as well, just depends on what you bought.

Awesome looking plants!

Supposed to be females. From ilgm thank you. They are nothing where I want them to be. End of 3rd week of flower. Just did last defoliation and a top dress.

Kind of embarrassing to be honest.

 

[Lockebox]

Wouldn’t say embarrassing.
Why are they not what you want? Just take notes for next time and veg longer

Kinda thought they'd be huge for the time they e been alive. Popped on Feb 15. Flipped to flower on 5th of this month. I started keeping notes about halfway through. Definitely helping with certain things, but not all. I know it's my first grow just kinda expected different.

Not embarrassing at all! Your plants are still alive after what looks like a very high stress training period. Keep doing what you've been doing, except next time leave the really aggressive training for when you have more experience.

Whatever shwazzing or lollipop tutorial you were using probably did you dirty or you just got too excited removing plant material, not fully understanding how it would affect the plant.

Once you get a bunch of grows under your belt you will begin to be able to see into the "future" By that I mean you will know how the plant grows and what's coming next, so you will have a much deeper understanding of how different techniques shape and affect growth.

Sometimes we go down rabbit holes and forget the simple stuff, like plants need their leaves to make food and thrive. Most of the time less is more and we just get in their way with all our fussing. That definitely looks like the case here.

Ah okay I see, I just kinda jumped in but like I said awesome looking plants regardless of all else!
One other thing to keep in mind moving forward, is genetics. Some genetics just won’t perform no matter how well you take care of them. Keep on rocking you’re doing great!

Yea, definitely looking into a lot of different YT videos. I only frequent a few but from time to time I'll see something and think that would work. Lol I've definitely fell victim to "know all" shows.

End of week 6 here's what they are looking like

Looking good I'd have no complaints at this point, if they were mine.
But if u do get a chance to grow outside....sky is the limit.

Just read your thread. Great job getting here. If you have more seeds of this strain you are now golden. You have seen the stretch and I bet you have seen some of the plant reactions to stress and defolation.
Now take the information and steer the plants. Run them under the net to split them out. Cull the Dominant fan leaf at flip to get the nodes popping and most important, turn your tops up and let them go up a few inches then flip. Your longest stems should go farthest out from the main stem and the internodes popping should turn up at the same time.
Also suggestion on lights. Plants everywhere the same seed can vary in presentation. Some are taller and some are not. A net makes this easier to deal with but when they point up you will need to use light to force the plants to do what you want.
A top that tries to stretch 2 inches a day is looking for light. It makes stems.
A squatty top that has big fan leafs has lots of light. It does not need to make stems and can make big fan leafs.
Both these can be steered with light, either giving it more or less. This is more of a challenge with a net and one large light panel.
Good luck and I got ZERO buds from my first grow. Never got far along enough to even complain......

I made a mistake on my mainlines where I underestimated the stretch. First time growing this strain and mainlining.
