I'm guessing you're liking this "growing thing" ?
I'll follow along on this one too,your first one went well,this one should be even better!
The little weedlings are looking great so far!
And the big girl next to them isn't too bad either...

Ha ha. Welcome along buddy. I'm hooked already. Off to a good start I feel. Yeah she's getting better every day.

 

[VetSmoke85]

The little ones are coming along nicely. Cabinet will get a good clean out once the auto is finished.

 

[VetSmoke85]

I can see roots at the bottom of these little cups. Anyone advise whether I'll be okay to transplant to larger pots now? Won't be the final pots but a mid size between these and the final ones. Last grow was autos that went straight into final pots so I've never transplanted before. Cheers.

Once you see a fair few in the sides,of the cup, do it then. Let them grab a bit of soil first...

 

[VetSmoke85]

Okay cool. Thanks a lot. Heading away for the weekend tomorrow so it's either now or Tuesday next week.

 

[VetSmoke85]

So I ended up transplanting them on Friday just before I left. They were drying out really quick in the small cups. Seems to have been the right choice as they've shot up over the weekend.

Back from Paris and all looks well on the homefront...
The little ones behaved themselves while you were away,in fact,it won't
be long until they're not little ones any more...they grow up so fast...
Welcome back,Vet!

Cheers buddy! Yeah they sprang up on me in the few days I was gone. Responded well to being transplanted. Will have no choice but to chop the auto very soon as I'll need the space. The Candy Kush is really motoring along.

 

[Carcass]

It is impressive that they grew that much right after transplanting,sometimes there's a little pause...
You must have snuck it in when they weren't looking...

 

[VetSmoke85]

Transplanting ninja.

 

[VetSmoke85]

The girls have the cabinet to themselves now. Blueberry Auto was harvested last night. Training will begin on the Candy Kush very soon. The Cream Mandarine is a little behind still. Both looking nice and healthy so far.

 

[VetSmoke85]

The Candy Kush has just had the 1st & 2nd nodes snipped off. She will get a couple of days to recover then get topped. CM isn't quite ready to begin yet. #Quadsquad

I'm in!

 

[VetSmoke85]

I'm in!

Welcome! Always happy to have more along for the journey. Nice name too

 

[VetSmoke85]

The CK doesn't seem to have been phased at all with having those nodes removed. Tomorrow she should get topped. Won't be long and they'll be ready to go into final pots.

 

[VetSmoke85]

I ended up topping both yesterday evening. Woke up to the CM reaching for the skies. Only the top 2 leaves though. I did increase the lighting power a bit yesterday too. I've dialled that back a little again.

 

[VetSmoke85]

The girls are 2 weeks old now and just been transplanted into final pots. Nice healthy looking roots. Proper training will begin now. Going to be fun keeping these small enough for the cabinet I think.

 

[Carcass]

Those branches will be ready to tie down in no time-pretty impressive how much they've grown in just the last 2 days...they're definitely liking their new pots
