you got a nice little settup goin bro. it can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks for a seedling to sprout. i soaked 4 beans last sunday and potted them, this sunday my first seedling sprouted, just spray the top of the soil to keep it moist at least once a day. goodluck

hey seed popped a couple days ago and i have my first ghs Great White Shark seedling its in organic soil (ph blanced) mix with pearlite giving it some water every second day or when it is really dry its under 2 x 24 watt 6500k bulbs which will be used throughout veg stage as well (short veg) then switching to 6 x 24w 2700k bulbs...

...not sure if i should keep all bulbs during flower (2 x 6500k + 6 x 2700k)

the silver thing is my temperature sensor, i don't have a humidity one but i will most likely get one in the near future

its been 3 days and the seedling is exactly the same size i think the first set of leaves got a bit bigger and i can just see the second set barely poking out from the stem like 2 needles....is this normal growth rate?

Slow down on watering maybe once or twice a week... That's how 2 of my chix grew the first week now tht I'm in week 3 and followed tht advice they've doubled in size... Don't worry about underwatering if the dirt becomes to dry tht just means the roots have expanded and drank most of the water instead of it evaporating, and your plant is actually thirsty instead of drowning and gasping for air !!!

Sorry been a while since i updated, she has been in flower for 2 weeks now, im using 6x24w 2700k roughly 10000 lumens will be adding 2 more for side lighting.

so far i think she is healthy but im no expert so if you guys see something im missing please point it out.

ive noticed pistils emerging last few days came in pairs but today the very top had clusters of about 4-6

i topped her about a week before i switched gave her a 3.5 week veg because of height restrictions and was hoping for 2 colas but lucky got 4 not exactly sure how just happened like that im total noob

didnt scrog because i wasnt confident that i could pull it off without any problems

lots more pistils coming out the top today and ive also noticed some lower leaves wiltering because the lack of light penetration so i really need to hurry with the side lighting prob within the next 2 days or so
