4x8 Vivosun tent

So I decided to final try my hand at growing and ordered 10 sour diesel seeds from 420. Tried doing 5 seeds, Only 2 ended up successfully germinating, possibly due to me Giving the seeds too much “love” .. planted the remainder and had 5 sour diesel seedlings, they offered to send replacements, I asked if I could get the amnesia haze and here we are. Great customer service. I accidentally broke 1 of the 5 sour diesels and now have 4, with my lone survivor from the first round being significantly larger. I plan on doing an additional topping on this one to allow the others to get closer in size. I germinated 8 of the amnesia haze and all8 succeeded so now I just going to be picking the4 strongest I guess .. started mainlining the big sour d yesterday and it responded wonderfully already turning up to the light. The yellow spots are from me spraying the leaves with the nute water when I didn’t know better

Wicked setup you have, ladies are looking great. Getting the hang of plant training takes time and mistakes happen, the plant is super resilient and with love will always bounce back from stress's

Sour diesels looking pretty good except for my 1 sick one or whatever’s going on with it. I’m keeping 3 of these for a total of 4 SD. The Amnesia Haze are popping up strong, keeping 4 of them as well. Not sure what to do with the others honestly

Feminize them for seeds using colloidal silver, silver thiosulphate or something similar

That's quite a setup for a first grow. Obviously, you've done your homework. Best of luck and I'm looking forward to seeing them grow. I just started an amnesia auto and it is growing like mad. Check out my journal if you get a chance.

The Amnesia Haze really impressed me or maybe I just have the germination thing down after messing up the first couple rounds .. didn’t get a pic this morning but this was last night, these ladies grew a good bit over night

Well done! I had a miserable time with germination on my current grow. Looks like you have the moisture level right. I had the rooters too wet when I put the seed in.

So I put them about 3/4” down from the top, I spray them 4 sprays with my spray bottle with 1/10 diluted nutes (1:5 to me because I run half the recommended based on my reading), once in the morning and once at night . Seems to be the magic numbers

The other 4 sour diesels are starting to catch up, the bigger one got put into a 1 gallon right after this pic because it was just about rootbound, the smaller ones will be going right into #3s

Everything has been growing great the past 2 weeks. Improved my run off drainage system today and transplanted my amnesia haze seedlings. Ended up with 4 sour diesels being mainlined, one with a broken main and my biggest one has 1 of 8 main colas now broken since the picture here .. going to LST the 6 amnesia haze in an effort to let them catch up to the mainlined diesels and hopefully switch to flower together

Tied 4 of the 6 AH plants down. Topped another SD for its final time. Waiting on some more growth for the smaller 2 in the back. Seeing a lot more humidity now with the extra moisture from the bigger pots I’m assuming. 60% area, will need to look at dehumidifier options here soon

 

[TraplordCarl]

Can’t believe the growth in 3 days .. wondering what’s wrong with this girl .. she’s always looked this way

 

[TraplordCarl]

Officially in flowering. My biggest mainlined plant grew so fast after I tied it down that it snapped at the splits. Wrapped it in grafting tape immediately. Producing buds just fine, bout 2 weeks into flowering and it didn’t miss a beat

Looking awesome at week 3! Just started a soil tent as well
