She sprouted last night or this morning. 20200202_134244.jpg200202_134742.jpg
And she is in a plastic three inch square starter pot filled with seedling pro-mix from my local green house (shout out to K&R Green House in Morrison!) mixed with about 20% perlite. Watered in just a tiny bit.

So, it's been a week for Cinderella Jack and I'm glad I only started one seed first - my soil was too hot for my last grow and it appears that I still didn't cut it enough this round. There's a bit of what looks like early nute burn on the edges, similar to what my stunted seedling in the uncut soil looked like last time. :(

The leaf quality is already improving a bit, but for comparison, I'm including a promo seed that's only half a week old and was planted as an experiment in the fancy soil cut very heavily with dead old potting soil. It's already more than twice the size.

I'll try a weaker mix with the next seed, but this plant may be a test of resilience/tolerance to newbie error.

We'll see how she rallies - it's valuable to see what a strain dislikes as well as what it likes, I guess. Fingers crossed.

Pics taken on day 49 for the Cinderella Jack auto.
She has stopped stretching now and is starting to flower. Good job I got rid of the old household led bulbs as they would probably have been very close to touching her now. The quantum board has paid for itself already!
I will probably have a bit of a clear out of some of the underneath and middle foliage, get a bit more airflow and light in there.
I also ought to take pics a few hours after I have watered, not straight after, that way she won't look slightly droopy. Gave her a bit of Mag when watering as she has slight signs of needing some.

It's hard to get a pic of the tops in the cabinet as there is no room for me to get in above her now!

We're running different plants, but being new I'm curious: about how many bud sites emerged on the top canopy before it was time to flip?

Looks like about 15?

Honestly I did not go by that but I can tell you this. Once there was 6 nodes I cut at the 3rd node on two plants and cut the bottom set of branches and cut at the 4th node on other one and cut bottom set of branches. I let grow till it was a nice little Bush and topped all tops on the plant including the two maind that emerged from my first topping of the main stalk. Do now I look at my grow space and say to myself after the stretch will there still be enough room? In my opinion I need to flip to flowering now in a day because room may become an issue especially sense I'm scrogging this time and it is my first time doing so. I have about 35 percent of room to fill up still so now when I switch to flowering and after the 2 week stretch everything should be filled with 0 less of light usage

It's about a week and a half. Temps are high in my closet to keep the humidity in check; when a bigger humidifier arrives on Monday my plants will be moved back into an open room. Cinderella Jack didn't seem to mind but it was a problem for my plant in flower.

She already has a second set of true leaves and the tiny beginnings of a third. You can see what looks like nutrient burn on the edges on the first set in pics. Dutch Passion's comments on the strain say that Cinderella Jack will consume nutes like a photo at some point; this soil formulation was just a bit strong for the young plant.

She's growing and I'm crossing my fingers that this early nute burn won't affect her in the long run.
