Just a quick snapshot I got on lunch gigabud didn't crack it was a freebie so oh well that's a picture of the c99 she's doing the best, the pe is doing well looks the same but a bit liter in color and the white lavender is about a inch with its husk still on.

So bad news dog bumped me while trying to carefully remove the pe's husk and I broke the stem so that got trashed also a freebie but I'm down to 2 plants I'm going to probably germ two more seeds. Humbolts Green Crack and Th seeds critical hog.




C99 3 days from being planted in soil


White lavender also 3 days


switched them to 18/6 also today

Update: so I put humboldt Green crack and Th seeds critical hog in a paper towel waiting for those to germ plants are looking good though trying to get a little stretch so I can plant them with a bit of the stem down under the dirt but there on 18/6 they get misted twice a day in the pictures I just misted them

Update: Green crack and critical hog placed in soil
Watered the sprout for the second time since being planted they still receive misting 2-3 times a day

WL really taking off compared to the c99 but that's above ground who knows what's going on below though


C99 slowed down a bit hopefully cause all her energy is going to root growth

Yeah woke up this morning to mist my plants before I go to work, and the green crack and critical hog have broke surface GC has no seed husk while CH does so excited to see there progress by this afternoon. Also I was planning to do a scrog but somehow bend the sides or make the screen run a little bit up the sides of my tent is that possible ? Has it been done ?

18/6 I read a lot of side by sides etc and 18/6 is the best enough dark time for root growth and enough light to have rapid foliage growth.

Looking good! I've never been a fan of 24 hour light, plants need to rest just like we do. I learned how to grow from a book I found 15 years ago it was called, "How To Grow Marijuana Indoors Under Lights." It was an old book too from back in the 70's. One of the things I remember distinctly was that after the seed germinated make a small hole in the dirt with a pencil then place the seed into the hole with the tap root pointing UP. This will make the root curl down forming a knuckle or whatever and this is supposed to give the plant a stronger base. This is how I've always done it so I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not. But when I yank my plants that tap root always has that curl or knuckle they talked about in that old book.

I wish I still had that book there was a lot of good information in there :-(

Keep it up and let us know how they're doing in about a week.

Yeah I've read a lot of books and watched a lot of journals but some stuff is just by doing it, and that seems correct with the tap root up but I would think sometimes it wouldn't haven enough energy sometimes to break soil plus when I transplant I'll Barry the stem down to a little for support, and I'm doing daily updates tell 14 or so than I'll do weekly.
