Slowlearner's First Indoor Grow: LED, Soil, Seeds

I've named some in order to keep track of possible clones later on.
This girl is a mutant. When she popped the top was a bunched mess and she almost went in the compost buckett. But a little time and work revealed twin mains. I broke the tip off one a couple weeks ago during training, which resulted in many small mains on that side.

And here she is after this session.

 

[slowlearner]

oops

 

[slowlearner]

sorry for the bad pic, but you can see the broken side on the right

 

[slowlearner]

Waste not want not. I dipped her broken top in rooting hormones and threw it back in the fray just for fun

 

[slowlearner]

If left up right, these girls would be 12''-14'' tall.

The stick points to the lighter

back home again.

The first girls I did first were already recovering by the time I finished the last, this morning you could hardly tell I touched them.

Hey SL,

you don't look like a slowlearner, lol. I'm pleased to meet you. I'm also pleased that you have grow experience. More than I had, except for summer veg gardens. I read Doc Bud's journal for tons of info. So many great journals. Been in the "hi brix" section. They have the best according to me, lol.

So nice to see other Mainers here doing journals. Guess I'll have to start a journal for the summer grow. I have subscribed to you journal to maybe learn some more things.

Your ladies are looking very nice. You'll be pleased with the harvest. Green Buds and Happy Smoke to you.

Hey maineiac,
It's a pleasure to have you. As for the learning part, this grow is based on info from this site and a lot of intuition.
I'd love to follow your grow, make sure I know when you start it.

On a side note, I'm starting to notice a little odor in the room. Ordered a 6'' carbon filter setup yesterday, supposed to be here within two weeks. I hope so, that will be in the nick of time. I'm going to veg them until I think the roots are well established in the 7 gal pots and the canopy has filled the pot. This will be the opposite of the hiker rule that the pace is set by the slowest member, th lights will flip according to the fastest.

Your lst game is strong sir. Strong. Im subbed. It's nice to have some nice fresh plants inside with the snow outside. We got a few inches down my way today. Im no county boy but it's still winter here too. Best wishes brotha!

It's a pleasure to have you here Mr Am,
Any advice is more than welcome!

One of the nice things about the wire anchors is the re-adjustment. No un-tying and re-tying every time I see them turning up. I can get by a day or three by angling them in the direction I think is best at the time, and then just pushing them in a little until re positioning is needed.
I've been training 2-3 times a day like this, and I only expect it to get harder.

Rubber coated wire is the best invention ever. I use loads of it.
