Grow journal-Three plants enter, two plants leave

[Gingerbeard]

These three were towel germinated on March 24 (3 weeks, 2 days) and put to soil on March 28th. I bent the plant 90 degrees and buried about 2 inches of the stem, then bent the leaves upward.
I don't know the strain but have had good luck with seeds Old Head has given me. Only two shall survive.

2-T5's for vegging
350 watt Viparspectra dimmable LED for flowering

Howdy from Oregon Gingerbeard can I ask a couple of questions outta curiosity? I also grow in soil and have vipars as my lights. Are they female and do you grow outside? I veg mine in 1 gal. plastic pots for like 5wks until I can sex them if their reg seeds. Hence the reason why I now buy fem seeds. But I've grown many a reg in the past had to start a lot for a few female, I don't want to do that anymore. How come only two?

Hey SoO.
I don't know if they're male or female, yet. I also don't know the strain as I am working with bag seeds. Outside isn't an option since I'm in an apartment. My flowering space is 2x2 and I have a veg chamber next to it at 1x2. A perpetual harvest tent. At first I had a combination of a three gallon and a couple one gallons in flowering. Then two, three gallon pots. Two, two gallon pots look like the way to go in my space. It's a roll of the dice in that I could be growing two females and have nothing until I get these one gallons up and running.

At week 5, C is leaving the building. The seed of plant C looks like it came from the same plant as the two plants I have flowering. The two plants I have flowering are probably sativa and are too big for my 2x2 grow space. They area also very brittle and I'm not going to train any more because of it. It took little effort to break off the top 4 inches of one of the main colas. Since A and B are nice and short, I'm going to work with them.
Although, one of my flowering has 9 finger fans.

6 weeks. Got my LST on.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Week 7. Nothing to report.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Week 8. No update next week unless something happens.

Something happened.
I noticed the snap this morning. It's had time to heal and stretch for light after LST with no badness in growth compared to other branches since it actually happened. I treat my splits and snaps with a hydrogen peroxide and baking soda spray. Just that. Yes, I know about tape and hormones and stuff. H2O2 and BS work good enough and the snap has already done some healing.

 

[Gingerbeard]

One stem got broken real bad. I have it taped up but don't give it much chance. However, the break in the picture on 5/20 has healed up quite nicely (pictured). A nice thick knuckle with noticeably more vigorous growth than it's neighbors.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Twelve and a half weeks of veg. In to the flowering chamber we go.

You neglected to say why you killed one plant

Check out post #6.

 

[Scarletwhitewidow]

I did read post 6 when first I read your journal. Just didn't guess why you euthanasia a plant and guess other gwe members though same y got no responses or likes..🙂
Take care gingerbread . 🙂

 

[Gingerbeard]

I have space for two plants. Just as simple as that. It's like picking which of the sprouted towel seeds to put to dirt. I started with eight. Chose the 'best' six and put them to dirt. Kept the three best of those. Then the two.

And I'm not so worried about likes.

You liked me to spite me.
