Here's my week 2 update pics using a better cam. If you guys can see a brown mark on one of the first true leaves on the plant more towards the back it's because I accidentally rubbed the leaf too hard. She's all good though.

Looking really good and healthy .... Hope mine start out as good.....you plan on putting them into bigger pots before you go 12/12? If so you might wanna add a little perilite in the soil to help with drainage.....

I was planning on just leaving them in the same pots but if you'd advise against it then I might reconsider. And did you mention the perlite because it looks like there's poor drainage or something?

How big are those pots anyway? Look like about a gallon in pics and if so, depending on how much space you have in your grow room, you might want to transplant simply for more yield at harvest time. ;)

Looks like you have pretty good drainage now, but after a few more waterings it could develop a problem.

They're probably a gallon, I didn't see the label at the store but they seem to be 8" across the top

I am assuming it's indica dominant because the leaves are fat but other than that I have no idea. It was just some bag seed from some dank bud. I sprouted the seeds for about 2 days in wet paper towel and then planted them if that makes a difference. I didn't want to be shunned from rollitup for the soil I'm using but here goes nothing........ wait for it........ miracle grow expand and grow. haha

it looks like good soil, lots of organic materials to break down. i can see tons of peat on top of your soil. my friend at grasscity also used some mircale grow soil that looked like mulch (lots of wood for fungus to break down) and it worked great.

i had some hyponex in my shed, and i dont know if it was old or got wet or something, but it was terrible. it turned into mud. you can see it in my grow journal in my sig.

You're very welcome :eyesmoke: haha. I thought it was kind of a bitch to get it to expand to where it needs to be though. I sat there at the kitchen sink running lukewarm water and over it and breaking the bigger pieces and kneading it all together. Pretty sure I broke a lot of those time release nutrient balls while doing that but I'm sure I rinsed out any extra ferts that were released.
