First indoor grow - Swiss Cheese & Amnesia Haze

[gdogfunkly]

Day 25: seeing some increased growth overnight. Nodes are very tight and I'm seeing some leaves forming at the nodes as well. Very pleased so far. I was surprised they were ready for watering this evening. I will top amnesia haze later tonight or tomorrow. Planning on beginning to build my scrog screen this weekend.

Day 26: topped amnesia haze today and everything looks happy and healthy. I bumped up the humidifier fan to the highest setting to get the RH up around 60%. It's been getting cold at night and I've had dips below 48%. I also turned on another non-oscillating fan clipped to a tent pole for a bit more breeze. I'm amazed to see growth at the lower nodes. Better start than any outdoor I've ever had.

Day 27: I went out to the shed and made my scrog frame using supplies I already had. Fits the tent perfectly and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I'll be hanging it from the adjustable light ratchets once my eye hooks hooks arrive. (when the plants are ready for the net).

Plants are looking good gdogfunkly. Nice work on the scrog frame as well.

Day 27: Plants are doing well. Comparing growth to a week ago is crazy!

Day 28: this morning I fed about a 1/4 gal to each of the remaining nutes I had mixed. Came home tonight and they are starting to flourish. Every day is becoming more wow by the minute. My friend would be digging the progress.

Day 29: things are going pretty good. A couple of leafs are bending a weird way, but not sure if the fan is too close or not. Does it look like there's too much breeze for them? They are kind of twisting strangely. I measured the light distance and it was 22". Manufacturer recommends 24", but I read another grower lowering to 22". I bumped the light up to 24" to let them grow up toward the light. The new growth is def growing upward, but I figure 24" can't hurt.

Day 30: second day of using Urb foliar spray and growth is amazing. Watered with cal-mag and Urb today when I got home from work. Thinking I'll be transplanting to 7 gal fabric pots this weekend. Already prepped the soil in the 7 gal and gave it a dose of molasses (15ml/gal, 1 gal divided between the two 7 gal pots) to give some extra brix to the mix in prep for a 30ml Urb inoculation when I transplant. Seems like every time I open the tent, they are that much bigger!

Day 31: growth continues and may transplant to 7 gal later tonight or tomorrow.

NICE frames! And your plants look great. Whisper sweet nothings to them when you transplant ❤️

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to trying my hand at scrogging. And a successful indoor harvest!

I was looking at Swiss cheese a while back can wait to c yours grow and get a review from u. Grows looking great!

Day 32: amazing growth continues. I'm eager to transplant but I will wait on the advice to let the topped chutes get a couple of inches above the canopy. So many leaves where I've never seen them before!! What do you think? Wait a bit longer to transplant?

Thanks! I originally had chosen my strains for outdoor next season, but couldn't resist the temptation. Of all the seeds, only a few have shorter height descriptions, so I decided on Swiss Cheese mainly for that reason. Amnesia Haze was another shorter freebie. I'm not sure if they are short and stout from the strains or the light or both?

They look beautiful! Honestly if they're growing really nice right now I wouldn't do nothing to slow that down.. give it another week are so, an soon as you even notice a slight change in the fast paced growth transplant... That's what I do and I get great results every time.. either way should be fine still!! Happy growing! Can't wait to see your ScrOG screen at work!

Thanks! I was just reading up on FIMing versus Topping and even though I used Fiskar's mini snips to top the 5th node only, both plants are growing back from where I topped! I basically have 4 mains by mistake and likely is the reason for the bushier growth according to this site. However, one of the extras is kinda dinky and is more of a runt stem, so probably only 3 on that one. I think this FIMing might be an additional benefit for the SCROG! I'm eager to transplant to get them in their final home and I won't have to worry about that last transplant lol

I`ve transplanted wet and dry mate and noticed nought difference...reckon it`s a strain issue if there is a problem. Enjoying this grow by the way...really up for seeing the SC grow/ yield

Day 33: I decided to transplant after all. I believe I chose the perfect time to transplant based on the look of the root balls. Swiss cheese was the perfect transplant. Amnesia Haze would have been, but I left too much dirt in the hole in the 7 gal and when I tried to lift it up, the bottom fell out of the root ball . I gently scooped out the excess and finished transplanting. The photo looking down into the tent was 11:30am right after transplant. I watered with 30ml Urb, per the instructions and changed the fan positioning to hit them evenly. The rest of the pics are from 6pm. They appear to be just fine 7 hours later! I assume they would have complained by now if they were unhappy? I'm very relieved to have them in their final homes. I think my perception of the FIMing is a little off. They both have a stunted dinky chute off the topped nub, but both have a decent growing stem out of the topped nub, so I guess I have a 3rd cola and not 4. Hopefully, I get some upward growth soon. I'm also hoping feeding the Molasses for Plants to prep the soil was a good idea for the microbials I'm using. Urb has it's own food supply, but now they can gorge themselves on the increased brix level

Nice plants. They look great.
