Looking good, sorry to hear about the slow poke.
Nice thick stems you got going on there, loving the soil they're in, what's the mix you're using? Sorry if you already posted, I've been away for a couple days and got alot of reading ahead of me still.
Good luck with the rest of the grow, hope the slow poke makes it outta the soil.

Thx! LOL the slow poke STILL hasn't sprouted. The soil is a cheap super market starter soil w low NPK value and calcium, nothing else. Then I mixed in just a tad of home made bone meal, made from cow bones my dogs have gotten first, then scrubbed and grated to meal, to boost w some xtra P for germing and "youngling" stage. Watered the soil w a light solution of micro nutrients, and will keep on so for the first 7-10 days. After that they will be transplanted to a "hot" soil w time released ferts and will be given nothing but water and Super Vit for 5-6 weeks. Then it's time to clone them
I have one headband plant you can look at her in my grow journal https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/320595-started-flowering-clones-dwc.html#post4020175 . The most recent photos are nice, but since my clones were already flowering when I received them they had to be re-vegged and arent producing ridged leaves so it does'nt even really look like a pot plant. OH and she is branching horizontally all on her own like nuts.

Yeah they branch like crazy but doesn't really stretch the tops and grow weird leaves, that's how "flowering clones" I've taken has grown. I gave 6 flowering clones, Bubblegum, to a friend. I've never seen anything branching like that, he vegged them longer than I did before 12/12.
Took a look at your grow, looking nice!

It's a nice spring day here at the Northern hemisphere! An eventfull day to say the least! Went to the plantschool and bought soil and more nutes...I'll write more soon a friend came by, sry!
EDIT: Ok, I'm back! As I said I went to the plant school bought nutes and soil and some fun plants for my apartment. I met a nice girl who works there, she also has a dog so we decided to meet this weekend for a walk w our dogs
I've transplanted some flowering plants and watered the younglings. Here are 2 pics of the babies
Aren't they cute?
Here is a list of the N-P-K values of the nutrient solution during the flowering period:
Week 1: 7-7-10,5
Week 2: 10,5-10,5-15,75
Week 3: 14-14,5-17,5
Week 4: 16-20,5-21,5
Week 5: 20-21,5-24,5
Week 6: 21-22-25
Week 7: 21-22-25
Week 8: 14-26-22
Week 9: Flush
Now I'm beat after a day of labour and deserve a

I would take the foil off the cups-the cups might dry out faster if warmer but warmer soil means the plant will grow fast.If you put clear plastic over the dirt it will get the soil even warmer from green house effect. Thats why farmers use clear plastic on straw berries. They use darker plastics to keep weeds down but the plant grow slower.Black seconded warmest after clear and white will keep things the coolest.

Hmm...take off the aluminium tape?! I use fluoros, day temp is between 26-28, the cups stay moist for 4-5 days and the RH is around 40-50% + the foil reflects light so it woulda kept them cooler if I had stronger light. I really don't see how the aluminium foil would make them dry up faster? Enlighten me...
I have a humidity dome for when I need higher RH for say clones or germination, at this point I don't see any use of plastic to cover them. Yup, clear lets "it" through, blakk absorbs and white reflect.

This is how I do my home meade bone meal wich I add just a tad of to the starter soil and at week 4 of 12/12 to boost P.
One bone from a cow, one rasp. Get going! I was first thinking of buying bone meal but then I googled some and decided to use the bones my dogs were "finnished" with. Nothing goes to waste in this household
This is the cloning powder I bought. I've done side by side on clones using Clonex (gel) vs Rhizopon (powder), and the powder showed to be superior.
