Popped quick, growing fast.
I have a whole grow log full of details, but I’ll give the short version here. The seeds all germinated in 24 hours in a glass of water, placed on top of a CFL fixture. They sprouted roughly two days later in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. Since then they’ve been growing like weeds! I topped two and kept two the way the are. Decided to top later on, so I didn’t do it when the first set of true leaves came. Happy I did because the bottom branches shot up like crazy and reached the top of the canopy within a week. Now I have four good stalks on the bottom to clone. I’m using Bergman’s nutrients for now with the occasional shot of FF Grow Big. They seem to be really enjoying their diet. I have them under two spider farmer LED fixtures. I just put them into five gallon square containers. Roots are healthy. I’ll switch to a 600 watt Air cooled HPS w/ eye hortilux bulb and perhaps keep one spider farmer LED fixture in the tent also and rotate plants every few days. I have four I’m keeping in the tent and one going outside. Of the four, I’ll be keeping one mother in the end depending on a few factors. If I can, I’ll review again after flower. ILGM is a bit expensive, but so far every plant is showing signs of good solid genes. This is my first grow after a long hiatus. My wife finally agreed to let me do what I love! I’ll be switching to hydroponic after these grow out. Built a nice daisy cloner and an aeroponic/DWC machine out of parts from Home Depot. Can’t wait to get into that! Thanks ILGM for the healthy seeds and for being the first place I came to this grow. Maybe the last place depending of how they turn out.
