It is already day 10

I am using reg seeds that i created last summer and my germ rate has fallen off sharply. I may not have much more than 20 viable seeds if my current rates hold. I only had one sprout out of 8 this time. Lets hope this turns out to be a lady because these are not fem seeds.

Looks like you're off to a good start. :thumbs: Good luck! :smokebuds:

 

[Peter Wiggins]

Thank you. I think the plant might be slightly overwatered from the transplant. Thats fine. I dont need to water for some time now that its in full strength ffof. Tips showed some minute burn but its gone now.

Pretty stoked as to how well the plant is looking so early.

My pics looked nothing like this at this point last grow thats for sure.

I have started LST early this time. I hope to get the first node to put out some colas unlike last time when they were micro pop corn all the way up till the end.

That plant looks healthy and strong! good luck!
What is that bud at the first picture showing off its side?

 

[Peter Wiggins]

that was the RRF female that i harvested last month. I did not feel like wasting any time going into the next grow so, i dropped like 8 seeds into 2 solo cups and got a sprout going as fast as possible once i began flushing her out. i was grindin that plant up as i read your post! I have some choice buds off that plant sitting in a jar curing at the moment.

i will be making a photo update here tomorrow. i think you all are going to be impressed with the side by side photos of this grow compared to last grow!

Day 18 from sprout
She looks awesome! (i hope its a she) I fed the plant today with its first dose of soluble ferts. Just to see how the plant is going to react to further feedings. I fed it a 600 PPM solution and the PH was at 5.9 after the feeding. I am going to have to keep an eye on that. Probably a hair bit low for a soil grow. Right?Here we go!

Side by sides from last grow! Followed by some extras of the LST I am doing to set this one up for the SCROG. Can you see the difference? The first gen RRF's are at day 20 in those pics.

are these white things pipecleaners?
nice idea to not harm the ladie.
(I just topped one plant by accident)

 

[Peter Wiggins]

It was not even phased by the feeding one bit at all. What a champ. I am on target to put the SCROG up this time next week. Especially if preflower starts in the next few days. I sure hope it does or this plants gonna be a problem child size wise

Yes and no they are pipe cleaners. They are found in the arts and crafts section at wally world and they cost less than a buck for a pack. You can use them as pipecleaners since they are pretty much the same product marketed in a different wrapper. They are awesome to work with. Mostly because you can create a rigid hook and grab hold of parts of the plant delicately without having to worry about getting a string all the way around and tied with out slipping and ripping the node shreds.
