Day 8
the two nirvana seedlings have marginally had the best vigour so far out of all of them.
only had to water once so far, the soil is still pretty damp an inch underr the surface of all soil. Once it dries out, ill leave it dry for a day or so, so that those roots can actually have some O2 lol then ill water with dissolved soil bacteria again (myco madness 0.5tbs gal) and molasses (honey ES 1tbs gal) so next update will be when i water them in 2-4 days

damn i just remembered how much i hate watering seedlings :/ especially in a fekin closet. And the organics im using at the moment STINK lol anyways ill take some pics later and post up. I dont think im gonna 'mainline' at the 1st node now, because watering will be a massive arse ache up until harvest, coz normally i prune the lower branches to give about 6" watering can space from the soil up to the first branching, as it make the process soooooo much less stressful without having to manouvre around leaves and branches etc. So......i think with my time constraints and watering/space constraints (lifting flowering plants in and out of my cupboard to water during flower is a big no-no) im just gonna flip to 12/12 now and then just prune the lower branches once the plants are tall enough to not be stunted too much so....here it goes.....gonna flip to 12/12......now......
edit: i've also gone up to 500w red spectrum and they have responded very well they are loving it. Temps around 23oC

What is that thing that you have in the first pic? It's full off beautiful flower but I am not sure what it is. Is that a bowl? Looks like one of those finger skatebaords lol.

Low all is well, one of the fruity chronic seed didn't make it so I popped a new bean in, this time critical kush, it didn't sprout yet but it has been only 3 days since I saw her into the pot.

Ahhhh I see... I've never tried a portable one. Cell phones tend to stop working when dropped in the toilet as well lol! Happy New Years to all and HP! Your girls are looking great BTW!

thanks man. Today was the second (almost) whole day they've been dry completely. I noticed yesterday as the fisrt ful day they had been dry, that the leaves went much darker in colour, which seems to show they are healthy (?) and maybe the roots have finally got some good oxygen. Today, they were dry up till one hour before lights out, when i watered all of them. By that time, some fan leaves had started to droop, so yeah, i watered them as drooping leaves can lead to yellowing and dying. Ill take a pic tomorrow and post up, by then they would have had a drink and adjusted to the change, so they should look really healthy. Ive also trimmed the lower two nodes of side branches on all plants except the rocklock and purple kush (because they are so small it would mean chopping half the plant lol) and this makes watering with the can alot easier. Ill take pics and explain tomo. Happy growing everyone

Nutes regime
this chart is from humbolt nutrients, im using their grow natural, bloom natural, myco madness, honey ES molases, and structural integrity. Im not using this chart to measure out doses, im using the intructions on the bottles. I haven't started on the grow natural yet, the biobizz lightmix soil im using should give enough N to provide the plants with around 4 weeks of food, and its not too strong to burn them as seedlings, so its good stuff. Ill start the grow natural nutes when i see signs of N deff (yellowing leaves) and then feed them half stregth nutes all the way till flush time. Im gonna start the bloom natural nutes at 1/6 th stregth when i see preflowers. And when the buds start to spiral round the stems i shud be at 1/4- 1/2 stregth and at that time ill start with 1 ml/gal of PK13/14.
I won't be using 'equilibrium' either because i've added garden lime to my soil mix to supply calcium and magnesium instead.
Im gonna be using the myco madness at the rate suggested on the bottle, the myco madness at 1/2 tablespoon per gal and the molases (honey ES) at 1 tablespoon per gal.
also gonna be using 'structural integrity' pure silicate, as a pH up to balance feediings, and citric acid as a pH down just incase i overshoot the pH up

Day 22
just a few more pics, next update when i top them, i dont really want to top them but if the rhino grows alot over the next couple days ill have to. Its a really bushy plant its trying to spread right out
< from left= AK48, Rocklock, sour kush and white rhino
< this is LA confidential. Not sure what her problem is but shes been a miserable bitch since the start, maybe she has different pH needs or something, or maybe its just a bad pheno, shes still growing but always slightly droopy.

okay, so apologies to the LA Confidential lol turns out all she needs is time, she has grown a few inches since yesterday and is no longer the droopy lil cabbage plant that she seemed to be turning into.
Aside from that, the AK48, white rhino and rocklock are all now showing female hairs! Im amazed how quick this has taken
The white rhino is a big girl, as i've already mentioned. Not sure how im gonna tackle her size because she has already started flowering. The side branches stretch right out too, so if i was to top her right down, she would be one strange looking girl. I guess ill decide what to do with her in the morning. I have a feeling she is gonna stretch alot during flower and if she does then im not going to raise the lights and compromise the other girls just for her....I really am looking forward to tasting the sour kush and the rocklock more than the rhino

Day 24
just some pics
I can see the purple wreck getting lost soon lol
AK48 preflowering at 24 days old and 14 days since 12/12
rocklock showing some preflower hairs
White rhino preflowers and an attempt at 'FIMing' - i think i did it right. Hopefully that will slow her down a bit. Gonna prob start LSTing her too soon. Deff showing more sativa structural traits in this pheno, with thin fan leaves and stretchy fast growth
and on a final note.......
