Since the knowledge gained from GWE got me to this point, I figured I'd share some pictures of my first indoor grow. A little background to start - FFHF soil w/perlite, 2x4x5 tent, Viparspectra V600 LED, minimal FF trio nutes. These are four Peyote Cookies bag seeds. I planted four in hopes I end up with two females (although 100% of last summer's batch from the same seed stash were female). That said, it's already getting crowded in there and since I am probably underlit (is that a word?) I may have to sacrifice two before I can sex them, we'll see.
Seeds were germinated (paper towel method into jiffy pod/solo cup) on 12/16 and were repotted into 5-gallon pots on 1/2, which makes today day 34. I topped them between the 4th and 5th nodes on day 27. I've been doing LST a little here and there with good success and one mishap. I broke two lower branches of one plant while pinning them down. Luckily, it happened to my least favorite plant and I can afford to lose two. The plants are super bushy/stout to begin with so I may not have to do too much more (you can see in the pic how tight the nodes are). This is my first time topping or training as my previous experience consisted of popping some seedlings in the garden and letting nature do the work. This is much more fun and given everything is shut down, just what I need to get me through the winter.
Last, I've fed the plants twice so far at 1/4 and then 1/2 strength. Following the last feeding, the tips of the new growth on one plant (the least favorite) turned yellow (see pic). Haven't fed since and things seem to be righting themselves.
