Have a few sprouts. Out of 8, 4 of them broke soil so far - wifi 4g, velvet bud, wedding gelato and hulkberry Sent from my SM-G960W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
3 days later have 7 seedlings. Some stretched a bit, I had them outside. Will just bury the stem. Putting them under a led tonight about 30-36inches away. Sent from my SM-G960W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Been about 10 days since breaking soil. Sorry for the led lights. The 2 runts are the fruit spirit. I dropped 3 more fruit spirits in water and 4 more seeds (4 diff strains). Goin for 14 total but not expecting the 5 FS to do so well so more like 9 total. Sent from my SM-G960W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Grow update. Been veggin for about a month now on those 7. Topped them all and bending all the branches. MH bulb burned out 2 nights ago new one will be here tomorrow. My bad for the burple lighting. Decided against scrogging because i like the mobility being able to move my plants around i take them out to water and trim/defoliate/lst on the regular. Been foliar spraying with an aloe vera water mix for 2 days now once a day, all i have time for right now. I cut an aloe leaf and scrape the jelly out. I use between 1/2tsp-1tsp to 1L of water. Throw it into the blender real quick to make sure it can get misted out of my spray bottle and good to go. Make sure it gets used within 15 minutes of cutting the aloe leaf. If anyone is in Gta area of ontario and wants to take those 2 fruit spirits (sativa) off my hands let me know. They are females. Sent from my SM-G960W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Quick update. Ended up gifting away the 2 fruit spirits. Thanks Sent from my SM-G960W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Been vegging for 40 days now(about 5.5 weeks) Just started with the advanced nutrients 3part at 1/4 strength. Ordered some worm castings to top dress and still foliar feeding (now twice a day) with fresh aloe/water mix. Using both tents to veg for now. Bigger plants under MH set at 400W and smaller plants under a 1000W led (purple). Planning to veg to 8 weeks and flip to flower. Will probably run out of room as i dont want to scrog so im topping and bending the shit out of the branches and hoping for the best. Also moved the filter and fan outside of the tent for more room i was ignorant before keeping them inside thinking i had all the space in the world.

Do those older plants under the metal halide light look too big to transplant? Im really not happy with the soil id like to re-repot them in 5gal(currently 3gal pots) fabric pots with a mix of promix hp/worm castings. Can this transplant still be done?? They are about 45 days since first true leaves. Also can anyone recommend a good 2 or 3 part nutrient line im currently using advanced nutrients micro/grow/bloom with a bloom booster. Not unhappy with last harvest using them just know i could get more out of my plants yield and dank wise with better nutes. Thanks in advance appreciate all the help i have already recieved!

Figured out im day 42 of veg on the biggies. Not sure how many weeks on the smaller ones. Watered tonight (10/14 plants) with Emerald Harvest - Micro (5-0-1 NPK) @ 0.5ml/L for a nitrogen boost and General Hydroponics CaliMagic @ 1ml/L, PH'd to 6.4. Unfortunately they fell off the same watering cycle when i pot some of them up to 5gals so i gota hit the watering up twice as much now. Will veg biggies for 14 more days to 8 weeks and flip to flower. 14 plants total. Sent from my SM-G960W using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Update. Went camping for 4 days, jammed all 14 plants into my 4x4 tent under the 600mh. Came back everything proper. Split them back into 2 tents both vegging for now. Watered tonight with plain tap at ph of 6.3 and foliar fed with calmag at 1ml/L. Going to transplant all 3gals to 5gals and feed at full strength with emerald harvest 3part and honeychome+calmag once more in about 4 days, flush 4 days after that then put them into darkness for 48hrs before flipping to 12/12. Looking to start flowering in about 10-11 days which will be 2months of veg. Will be feeding honey chome and big bud through flowering.
