These have been above soil for 4 days. They are both regular seeds so I hope they are both female. I intend to cut 2 clones from each when they are old enough and then flip these to flower. If either one of them is male I will move it to it’s own tent to collect the pollen. Fingers crossed it doesn’t come to that. Only time will tell

Veg Week 1 Day 4

I will keep them in the cups until the roots fill it up and then up pot to a 1 gallon fabric pot

 

[Backlipslide]

I’m in!!

 

[Van Stank]

Gonna grab my favorite bean bag! I brought some Cheesy Poofs as well!

 

[derek910]

Moved them into a tent. Gave them a little water with some URB in it. Going to let the roots fill these cups up and then up pot them into a 1 gallon fabric pot

Veg Week 2 Day 10

 

[derek910]

Transplanted them into 1 gallon pots and watered them in. Leaves drooped a little bit at first but them seem happy after about an hour and a half. Mixed in 50/50 Happy Frog/Ocean Forest with some perlite. Just going to give them plain water with URB once a week until they fill these pots up and then they’ll go in there final 5 gallon fabric pot

Veg Week 3 Day 15

 

[Van Stank]

Looking happy and healthy! Definitely off to a good start....

 

[derek910]

They’ve grown a good bit since my last update. The one on the left is looking wrinkly and not as full as the right one. Does anyone have any idea what’s wrong? I let the pots completely dry out before I add water. Water ph on last watering was 6.49. It’s looked like that from the start. Is there anything I can do or is it just a bad seed? I have Cannazym which someone recommended I use with Roots Excelurator Gold one time before when it appeared I had root problems. I don’t know if this stuff is bad for the microbes in organic soil? Should I add URB on the next watering to see if that will help?

Veg Week 3 Day 21

 

[Backlipslide]

I’ve got no definitive answer for your questions. The plant still looks good. Just a lil less bushy. She should grow out of it. If not then just some bad genetics. Should still produce though

 

[derek910]

Topped them 4 days ago and I’m going to try and clone the cuttings. How will I know when it’s time to up pot them again?

Veg Week 4 Day 27

 

[Backlipslide]

What are those? 5 gal?

 

[Backlipslide]

I use 5 gal for my flowering pots, so, unless you want to go to bigger pots, I would say their good in what their in. If you do transplant to 7’s then I would say their still good for two to three weeks or longer in what their in

 

[Backlipslide]

Unless you have a lot of a plant left over after topping.. 2-3 internodes should be left in tact for cloning. Other wise the tops aren’t really much worth trying to clone.

They are in 1 gallon pots right now. I plan to up pot them into 5 gallon when they’re ready. I just don’t know what the signs are when they need to be up potted. I’m only trying to clone the tops I cut off to determine the sex if I can get them to root. These are regular seeds so if they root I was going to flip them just to see the sex so I know what I have before I do up pot them

 

[Backlipslide]

If the plants are showing any distress what so ever (with roots not being happy) then transplant.

if you are using plastic pots with holes on the bottom, if you see roots coming from the bottom holes the transplant.

How tall are the tops? If the tops are only one internode, it’s not worth it because chances are they won’t take.

They had 2 inter nodes. I figure it’s worth a shot since it’s only going to cost me a cup full of dirt and a little bit of Clonex. They’re in fabric pots. Won’t they drink up the pot in a day if they’re ready to be transplanted?

 

[Backlipslide]

Yeah man worth a shot!

and, yes and no... if you have warm conditions, it’s going to evaporate/drank up. If your under watering is also a factor, but generally yes it can be a factor.

Ill say, sure bro, they looked like 5G bags my apologies. You can most definitely transplant into 5 when you are good and ready. Just trying to avoid a possible disaster of a mess, if the roots haven’t fully grabbed the soil yet.

find a bucket around the same size in diameter of the pot, and roll the bags down for an easier time removing the root ball from the pot.

 

[derek910]

I don’t plan to transplant them for a week at least I’m just curious what to look for so I do it at the right time. I definitely don’t want to pull them out of the pots if they don’t have a developed root ball. The environment is 77F 45% RH. I water slowly based off of @Emilya watering guide until I get a little runoff. It’s taking 3 days to dry them out right now.

 

[derek910]

Went ahead and tied the longer branches down to allow more light into the center. The left plant still looks weird, but I’m going to let it go and see how it turns out. Also the tops I cut off have rooted and are growing as well. These do veg much slower than synthetic nutes so I’m going to keep the clones and up pot them once they fill the cups up. Once the mothers are large enough to flip I will make the determination which plants to keep once I know the sex. The clone in the pic is from the right plant and the other one is still in the propagator

Veg Week 6 Day 38

 

[derek910]

They’ve been topped and LST’d to spread them out as they grow. I’ve went ahead and up pottted one of the clones into a 1 gallon fabric pot and have topped that one as well. The other clone is still in a solo cup. I’ll up pot that one into a 1 gallon once the cup dries out. All of them got watered today. I’m going to move the mothers into the flowering tent once my last harvest finishes drying. Once they grow out some more I will put them under a SCROG net and flip them to flower. Fingers crossed they’re both females. How long do y’all typically Veg an organic plant before you flip to flower. Not sure if it’s the strain or the organic but this is taking way longer than synthetic nutes did.

Veg Week 8 Day 52

 

[Backlipslide]

How long do y’all typically Veg an organic plant before you flip to flower.

I’m sorry, I don’t fully understand your question..

the plant is being grown in a super soil of some sort? Is that what your meaning by organic plant?

no matter what substrate your in, a person could veg for as long as they want. May have to add extra this or that after an x amount of days... but aim for the 60 day mark, if your so inclined?

ultimately it’s up to you. With what ever situations your put up against
