Thanks SleepyTibbs

Dang Bruce really exploded with some growth! Your plants all look beautiful. Meanwhile, I accidentally went stooge mode just now while readjusting a tie down and the wire went right through a finger of one of the fan leaves, cut the finger in half. I feel like a child abuser lol I have now deformed 3 leaves in a similar way due to fat fingers. I really need to pick up some thicker gauge wire with a softer coating like you were using.

TLDR: Your plants are beautiful and one day I hope to be half the plant dad you are lol

Bruce is next - watering day soon so I'll wait until then to take off leaves - opposite to cookies Bruce is bushy. Preflowers are looking plentiful.

Looks like tge LST worked well here too- branches growing away from the main stalk.

love brick/ block weed..lol
p.s. I got some of mine up on kitty litter containers..giddy cat in fact

Cookies here - stretching and more stretching - she's the tallest - wasn't expecting such a stretch - but oh well just deal with whatcha got

Did the LST work? Sure the lower branches are definitely growing away from the main stalk so this is so far a success.

Picture day - evaluation day

Overall im very pleased with how they are - best to have a plan before one undertakes LST.

@pulover1 Very cool! I'm using the AG starter sponges which I believe are sphagnum peat but not sure. The roots look healthy and white on all the plants so far. I'm going to start a thread on this to stop sidetracking this one but thanks for responding!

Dannyboy58 I started my seeds in my A-G, it's just a 6 hole Harvest model. I had the OG A-G pre-LED that I used to grow legal herbs almost 15 years ago. Great for cloning, have you looked at your roots? I used spring water and a drop of AG nutes to start mine, instead of a capful. I've never grown hydro per se, just use this to start seeds. I will use it to clone in the future (cat stole 3 nice clones out of a glass, from my photo grow). Are your starter inserts coco coir in the cages? I had the 3 gelato duds so I was dropping whatever auto freebie seeds I had left. I tried to flick a seed shell off of the Lemon, it pulled right out of the starter, white root end looked like I cut it with scissors. I stuffed it back in, broke off some pieces of cc to try to make it sturdy. I kept moving it with the light in hopes it would stand back up. I dropped NL & lemon seeds on 4/10, they popped up the next day. Five days later they both had nice roots and side roots so I transplanted to fabric pots on 4/17. My smallest NL: I dropped the seed into the pot on 4/20, put on an upside-down pyrex dish for a humidity dome on 4/22, twins popped the next morning. I culled a twin a few days ago. I'll attach a few pics of the AG and how that Lemon survived. My AG model doesn't offer an extension arm for the light or I was going to try to grow one auto in it. I read the A-G cannabis blog last year.

They look great- don't do anything to them yet - and go easy on the nutes - never done hydroponics before so can't help you with questions on that but if you still a red your own thread - others on here would help you.

[Canuck147]

Scares me sometimes seeing them bent over and not breaking - but it looks fabulous.

[Dannyboy58]

Canuck147 Can you see them now?

First three are my biggest afghan baby about 12 days old now, its the one right rear in the group, left front is NL a few days younger, smaller two are about a week younger afghan and NL.

[Dannyboy58]

[Canuck147]
