Your plants look nice vr6225! How old are they? :weed:

Thanks for the kind words chickengutz! I hope all is well on your grow :-)

Yes, it would be nice if you give your plants that 250W! They will love you for it :-)

Thanks newgrowth! You would know! :bigjoint:

Ok guys, I just gave the lovelies their first mild nutrient feeding of compost tea: guano, fish emulsion, and seaweed. I'm crossing my fingers they won't get nute burns, not even a little.

Inside my little box of sunshine:

Plant 1 and Plant 8 both have really thick stems and they are now 5 inches tall with a wingspan of 9 inches! I'm loving their big fan leafs!

I also need to transplant another plant that is trying to catch up with Plant 1 and Plant 8. Remember the bigger twin? That's the one :)

I am officially in love with Mandala and their Satori! Growth has been really strong and the roots are growing really fast!

The runts are also catching up and are starting to look decent compared to before when they were really pathetic looking lol

I just transfered Plant 1 and 8 from 1 liter pots to 2 gallon pots about a week ago and now, roots are already poking through the bottom! Before the end of the week, I will have to transfer them again to their final pot, a 4 gallon pot.

Plant 1 and 8 are now 9 inches tall. They seem to be growing half an inch every day. I will veg them for 5 weeks because I don't mind them getting tall and I will be situating them in a 6 ft tall grow cab when flowering.

Check out the internodes. I will clone Plant 1 and 8 by 4th week :-)

EDIT: I just checked the bottom of the runts' pots and they are also root bound. I will transplant two of them today and another two next week. I will transfer them to their bigger grow cab next week because they are already filling up the space just as expected! :-)

Nice growing weedy, could you please explain what your substrate is made of? I thought it was coco but then you referred to it as soil.

Subscribed. Im jealous of you Weedy. Ive been wanting to grow out Satori for months now. My top 3 to grow out are Satori, Hashberry, and Sadhu. Likely be starting a grow on the first two in a month or so. Hope you drop by once I get it going. I hope you get something really killer out of them.

Thanks for the kind words Pothead, Notchibald and Dropastone! :-)

Hello Dingbang, I'm using coco, sorry for the confusion :)

Hello DaveCoulier and Meathook! Those are great choice of strains! Hashberry was my first choice but then I was discouraged by its low yield.

Dave, may I also suggest 8 Miles High from Mandala--I hear good things about it :-)

Hello Dingbang, I'm using coco, sorry for the confusion :)
No worries, thanks for clarifying. Do you have any perlite or EWC mixed in with your coco?

I checked out Mandala seeds and their prices are very fair. I can't wait to see how this develops!

Thanks weedy!

Good, healthy looking plants weedy. I stumbled across your thread today while browsing. Subscribed.
I will also be starting a coco grow next week when I finish fine tuning my new cab. Don't know if you have seen it, but another fem grower has an interesting thread on her coco grow. It has inspired me to try it also. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/221631-skunk-autopots-my-3rd-indoor.html
I will be following your progress. Keep up the good work!

Hello guys! Sorry I have to keep this short for now, I'm a bit busy at the moment :D

It's day 31 and I have decided to start with 12/12.

Plants 1 and 8 are almost 14 inches tall. Everyone else are 6-9 inches tall and all of my plants are bushy now! They make my room smell really good! I'm still using the 250W hps light and I plan to keep it until 4th week of flowering.

I will post pictures soon! :weed:

Oh and by the way, they look really robust and healthy despite being fed organic nutes only ONCE (from seed) with half the dose!

Here are the pictures I promised :-)

If you can notice in this pic, the two bigger plants are leaning forward a bit like a sunflower because I haven't transferred them yet to their new grow cab and I'm still using the 250w hps and the bulb is vertically positioned right at the center, 6 inches below the top of the two big plants. Do you get the imagery?

I will transfer them to a temporary grow room tomorrow and they will be there for 12 days. As soon as they show sex, I will get the 400w hps.

Plant 8 leaf and stalk:

Plant 1 leaf:

Average size of smaller phenos:

Plants 1 and 8 are actually very bushy but I had to take a few clones and gave them to a friend.

******


Like I mentioned, I was planning on flowering them on the 5th week but since the sativa dominant Plants 1 and 8 have already reached 14 inches on its 29th day, I decided to switch 12/12 right away while the remaining 5 runts were 6 inches tall.

Now it's day 4 since 12/12 and they are starting to stretch!

Plants 1 and 8 are now 17 inches tall and the other 5 smaller plants are 10 inches.

I will give them their second feeding of organic nutes tomorrow.

Next update will be posted once they have shown sex.

Looking good there Weedy ;) I have a Northern Light that during the last 12 hour dark period grew lil more than 1 inch, IN 12H...geeez it's only second week of flower...in soil!

Anywho, had u waited as u first said another week - 10 days, you would probably seen the sex before switching to 12/12. The strains I've grown have all showed sex in their 5-6 week in veg. U gonna do some cloning?! If so, and u never done before (?) practice and take a branch from one of the runts. I'd recomend taking some clones from 1 and 8 in day 10-12 in 12/12, not later. Clones I have taken at day 14 and later, w allready some flower, have never taken off and takes forever to grow but taken around day 10-12 and they root and grow as a vegged clone + u have a mature clone that has showed sex and can start flowering it after 1-2 weeks in veg ;) U probably allready know this :bigjoint:

GL weedy!

Thanks Cal!

You're right, in ten days, they would've already showed sex. If only Plants 1 and 8 were not so tall, I wouldve waited until 5th week. But they were so tall already :(

Anyway, it's all good :)
