Small on purpose, as even in those tiny pots the plants can crowd the cab. I start counting from the day I put the seeds in the coffee filter to germinate if that makes a difference. Three days later I put them in soil (usually sooner but they took longer to pop due to the cold). This is the last time I'm growing in this setup as I want to be able to give them more room but I have had some success in this setup before.

I typically stick with the daylight bulbs, no changeout.
The supplemental sidelights are just old GlowPanels, 14w I think. I move and turn them daily to keep their light varied.
FoxFarm grow, Ocean Forest soil, Grow Big/Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom, rainwater from my barrel. Basically following the
feeding guide but I have seen a few posts where people say to let the
OF take care of them for the first three weeks, so as to avoid overfeeding. I am trying to not over-stress on this grow (for a change). And I don't expect the grow cycle to match the projected harvest days with the light setup I have, I know it's not great. So long as they're healthy and progressing I'm happy. It takes them a little longer to get there is all. When it comes to growing I'm not a 'chef', just a serviceable cook.
Planning to invest in a larger setup with one of the new generation LED fixtures but some other things that have to come first. Maybe by that time it'll be safe to grow outside where I live (just kidding, it's practically illegal to be gay or Not White or indeed even happy where I live. We'll come around to legalization when they send the army in to make us.).
I know the AB looks like overwatering but I promise I'm not; making a point of putting it off longer than I want to this time. The leaves have had that shape from the beginning though. I do think it might just be a poor specimen from that gene pool, but it actually doesn't seem to be putting out a sickly vibe looking at it up close. Seems perfectly happy. As I say, I had a little freakella pop up in one of my Gnomo grows that lagged behind for the first few weeks and then shot up with TWO main trunks halfway through and outyielded them all. I'd thought it was a runt but she showed me. So if the AB wants to let the others do their thing first and then take the stage solo that's fine with me, it will actually work out well. And if it stays small, that's fine. I stunted one on my last disastrous grow that only gave me 4g in the end but made a kickass pan of brownies.
