Day13 Jan27. Seedlings are 10 days old. Getting ready to transplant into all purpose potting mix. Added a light solution of fertilizer. Lights are still on 24hours a day.

Day21, Feb5. Seedlings are 18 days old. This is a few days after transplanting. The plants are stressed, I'm questioning the transplant in such a small grow space. Just added water hoping the plants will recover. I also just topped them. Still have all 21 seedlings growing! All seedlings look much healthier compared to my 1st grow.

Day24, Feb8. plants are 21 days old. A few may have been FIM'd instead of topped. Gave them a bit of fertilizer. All are looking pretty decent.

Day25, Feb9. Plants are 22 days old. Today is Flower Day! Switching to 12/12

Day34, 9 days flower (1wk,2d) Some more pics. All plants are still doing ok. Still cannot see males or females.

Someone told me that my plants may be getting too much nitrogen because the leafs are very dark green. What do you guys think?
I was using a 1/4 - 1/2 solution of an all purpose plant food, 24-8-16, about every 4th day. I just switched to a flowering fertilizer 15-30-15 and gave them a 1/2 strength solution. Any feedback would be appreciated as this is only my 2nd grow ever.

Day35, 10 days flower (1wk,3d)

Ok. I am seeing some burn around the edges of some leafs. I believe this is the result of my last fertilizer feeding having too much potash (15%) and phosphate (30%). I will only water for the next week or so, NO nutrients! To flush things out.

Question: How can I add larger pictures to my post? Not just thumbnails?

Day 38, 13 days flower. (1week, 6days)
Things looking good, but growing slowly with the 25w light. I moved everything into the new grow chamber. Looking awesome! I'm thinking about getting a filter of sorts to keep the smell under control. Also, temps are a bit on the low side, in the middle to upper 60s.

Day 38, 13 Days Flower

 

[TTKlaus]

The plants are just 4-6" tall. I have seen about 2" of stretch in the last few days.

Day 39, 14 days flower. (2 weeks)
The plants seem to have recovered nicely from over-fertilizing. I still can't positively determine sex on the plants, but they appear mostly if not all female. The new grow chamber has been working great, but I definitely need an exhaust filter. Things are getting very fragrant! The temps inside are 68-72F, Humidity is between 35-44%. One plant is much bigger than the others, it has reached and is touching the light. I will wait another day or 2 before raising the light to give the other plants a better chance to catch up.

Forgot to mention, I am down to 20 plants, I got carried away when topping one of them and even went past FIM. Killed the poor thing when I over-fertilized!
