How much more growth should I expect here? About 5 weeks into flowering, with 9-12 being what the seed houses say to expect for flowering.

I messed up on watering and let these girls get way too dry, but they’ve seemed quite resilient so hopefully they’ll be looking good tomorrow. Need to start reading up on when to harvest, but hoping for more growth before then.

Was away for the holiday and one of the Mauis got quite dried out. I feared I’d killed her, but to my surprise she looked pretty much good as new an hour later after watering. Just beginning to see signs of some flowers forming.

Day 1 of 12/12. Maybe should have started the net earlier. Curious to see how the Afghani, which is just a couple weeks old, will produce given how far behind it is.

Set up a net, upgraded from a TS600 to a TS1000, and did a little bit of defoliation. Also added a carbon filter as the smell was getting noticeable, but need to work on a much less-ghetto mounting setup…

Are these preflowers (by where I’d lopped off some fan leaves)? Plants currently look kind of ugly because I just tied a whole bunch of branches down. Moved the surviving Afghani plant into a bigger pot, but need to get it elevated a bit. (Terra cotta is a temporary half measure.) I assume it’s way too early to think about flipping the tent over to 12/12 because of the young’n, but there’s always going to he a big disparity there.

Was doing a little comparison experiment; have been much more aggressive with FIM and LST on the right, while the girl on the left just saw minor thinning of fan leaves. Definitely liking the growth on the right more. Seedlings aren’t doing great; I let one get too dry. Also started them way too late.

Re-FIMmed the girl on the right a few days ago since the first time didn’t take. May have gotten a little carried away cutting off the larger fan leaves crowding out new branches. Started to LST lower branches. Accidentally let the Afghani seedlings get a little too dry; hoping they’ll bounce back.

Nothing too exciting to report. Small pot is an Afghani seedling. I hadn’t been paying a lot of attention and let the soil get pretty dry, but the plants were OK. Watered tonight, and tried again to FIM the plant on the right. Last time I apparently just trimmed the new-growth leaves…

Not huge, but coming along! Humidity in the grow tent has shot up to 65-70% with these oversized bags for now. I’ve temporarily raised the light a little bit to see if I can slow these down just a smidge so I can get the new seeds I’m germinating to join them all in one cycle. That’ll end up being a long veg period on these but there are worse things to do…

Repotted both tonight. (Photo obviously taken midway through.) Probably an excessively large jump, from 6” pots to 7-gallon bags, their final home. But both had roots starting to come out the bottom. I should have more seeds arriving tomorrow, though it feels a bit late to add them. Plus these are supposedly sativa-dominant and what’s coming is a landrace indica, so it’s not like they’ll catch up on height.

A bit of experimentation for fun. I have some Hindu Kush seeds I want to add to the grow, so I’m willing to accept slower growth for a bit here. Tied a leaf down on the left plant as some crude LST. Cut off a couple leaves on the plant on the right to get more light on the growth at the newer leaf sites. Not sure that’s entirely kosher especially this early, but curiosity got the better of me.

Love watching these grow. I think these were starting to droop from lack of water. Using small amounts of CalMag and Fox Farms fertilizer with watering now. Wonder if I can transplant directly from these 6” pots to 7-gallon grow bags once they grow a tiny bit more, or if I should go through an intermediate size first?

Moved the second plant over to a larger pot, since it was looking a little smaller. Both are in 6” pots now. It wasn’t looking root-bound, though. I may be getting ahead of myself, but in the interest of experimentation, I FIMmed the plant on the left (#2). Just watered both, but the lights are about to shut off for the night. Plant on the right is much darker in color and I’m not sure if this is phenotypic variance or just a nutrient thing or something? Starting to get small growths at the nodes where larger leaves come off. Hoping this is the start of it bushing out.

Growth is finally starting to get rolling!

(Backdated) Plant on the right was put under grow lights once it started. Plant on the left was left to grow in a windowsill for a few days. Clearly a bad idea. Following advice, I repotted the one on the left, buying at least half the stem.

(Backdated) Setting up in the tent. Absurdly much room to grow!

(Backdated) Transplanting the plant on the left out of that absurd little pot that’s in the upper right. First true leaves showing. Girl on the left (fem seeds) sat by a window for a couple days while the right plant went under the light immediately.

(Backdated) Popped up today!
