Hello! First I would like to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge and wisdom. Because of folks like you, people like me are able to feel confident about getting started in what can seem like a very daunting venture.
Okay so first attempt at a grow journal, lets see how this goes...I am using the following items
4wx4lx6h Closet Grow - Room Temps 64-84, rH 40%-60%
600w Viparspectra Reflector series
20 gallon Tub - Tap water, H20 temps 64-70, pH 5.7-6.2
Tetra 77854 Whisper Air Pump, 60 Gallon
General Hydroponics Nutrients
PLANT!T GMC40l Clay Pebbles
My babies are all random bagseed I have collected over the last 5-7 years. I honestly can't remember what strains they could have been from but I would like to think I wouldn't have kept just any old seeds.
I started germination on 2/28/17 using paper towel method. By 3/5 they had all popped and been transferred into rockwool and a humidity dome. All did well with just one growing a little slower. On 3/8 I moved them from the dome to their new home in the 20 gallon tub. With about 17 gallons of water I used only 4 gallons worth of nutrients, just to give them a taste.
3/11 - I took my first pics of the seedlings in their new home.
I thought I would attempt some LST around 3/19 but have since stopped, deciding to wait til they got a few more nodes. At this point I think they were only around 3 nodes.
Which brings us to current status - 4 weeks from seed, Veggin well.
My only concern at this point is that my plants are too close together. I assume 2 will be males but none have shown signs one way or the other. I could cut more holes, one in each corner of the lid, and move the plants but if I am going to do that it needs to be sooner rather than later so the roots aren't developed any more. I know some plants can show sex in 6 weeks of veg, should I wait or move the plants to new holes so they have more area between their bases? Are they going to be too bunched up? Would training them out, away from each other do the trick? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
