Bought seeds from local seed bank and started soaking and building grow room.

World of Seeds - Afgan Kush Ryder Auto, Samsara - Shot Adrenaline Auto, Ethos - Sunset Sherbet Photo. The SS were freebies of unknown gender.

Jan. 14
Seeds put in water.
Seeds soaked 2-3 days until 2/3's had just cracked and started to sprout, then moved to paper towel. Left them there until most were about 3/8' root length.

Jan. 20
Seeds were moved into dirt and all were put into CoMOF under 300w led.

Jan. 24
Plants were popping through the soil.

After dealing with some leaf burning and over watering/algae issues, I cut back on watering, took the hood off, and switched to 3 - 23w led bulbs.

Jan. 31

Plants get a different light setup until transplant.

Feb. 4

Transplanted 4 and left 1 tiny in a solo to see if it'll grow and moved them into grow room.

Last water was Friday 31st. I had been adding about 1/8" water to the solo cups every 3ish days previously. Once the plants were removed from the cups, the soil still felt fairly damp, so these things must have been way over watered.

Plants just before transplant.

Feb. 4

Transplanted in 3g fabric pots and moved into the grow room under 1 300w cob. I do have another 300w cob to add later.

4 are in CoMOF topped with a little Happy Frog, the 5th is all Happy Frog except for the plug.

From the looks of the roots, I'm guessing I should have moved the larger ones sooner.

Light is currently 19" away from tallest plant and 21" from edge of buckets. The tan shelves on the floor are a 3x3 area and the light frame is 4x4.

Awesome set up! Looks like you have a pretty good root ball starting. I'll be along for the ride! Thanks for the invite! Cheers!

Thanks. I’m lucky enough to have some free basement space.

Decided to enclose the 4x4x4 area inside the room and add the second led light. Used Mylar blankets to enclose the 4 sides and left the front open for the heater/vaporizer/fan to blow into.


2/7

Started 5 more seeds. Soaked 24hr then 3 into soil and 2 into peat pellets.


2/9

3 in soil have sprouted.


2/11

Photo Sativa is about 6” and the 2 bigger Auto are about 5”. I decided to go ahead and top them all. Even topped the 2 super small ones as they are all the same age. It’s not costing anything to keep them going, so I’ll see what they end up doing.

You got to be careful top of them when they're that young. Usually you wait till the 3rd or 4th node before you top. Your plant has a better chance of recovering. You got to think of how much you're taking off. It also looks like you have a little deficiency. You have a great setup! I cant wait to see how they do! Cheers!

They all actually have 3 nods left. I’m guessing I must have stunted them at the beginning with to intense of light and overwatering. I started more seeds last week and 3 sprouted over the weekend, so I’ll see how these new ones compare.

They are all looking better now. Was dealing with some water/nute issues so they were growing real well for a bit.

The 2 pots in the middle are same age as the ones in the back, but have always been smaller than the back 3.

The 2 pots in the front and the 2 solos were sprouted the same time 2/9. Looks like I’ll have 2 more runts. These are 2 of each of the same that are already growing.

I would pull off or cut the leaves that are wilting you don't want the plants to waste time trying to heal especially if they're in flower can also cause other issues in the plant itself .

I did a bunch of trimming yesterday, but wasn’t sure if I should trim everything at once or space it out over a couple days.

Good job in wanting to wait, the next leaves you should remove are the ones that are sick. You don't want some kind of powder mildew on your leaves.
