What distance from canopy did you settle on bobsakamoto ?

Luck walks with you, can't wait to hear more! Peace

i found, and this is for my environment/medium/all that, that 15-18" from top of seedlings was the sweetspot. i started at btw 12-14" then, when saw yellow tips, moved up to 21-24" and corrected down at 1 inch intervals every 2-3 hours until i saw them regain their puffy, perky happy baby seedling look...

It's my year this year apparently, year of the rooster : )

It's all just waiting now...

 

[Tika]

Ah! Know the area also lived in an art studio pico / Lincoln area. Probably before you were an idea and then also on Montana over a laundrymat. Stay dry .. this storm has been a toughie up here.

BTB......just seen this.....don't know why I wasn't notified😯..........this helps immensely.....it's just the wording I can't seem to grasp......and like you said the right moment to add pk 13/14....Thanks🌱🌿🌲🌳😂

 

[Vapo69]

Do you double the zym dose dude?..........I'm thinking of re-using some coir.......I'm thinking that any plant/root matter that is left will be turned into "useful sugars and minerals" by the cannazym......therefore creating nutrient laden coir?...🌱🌿🌲🌳😂

 

[Vapo69]

Those girls look great.........Journal is lookin great...........year of the rooster is fully backin you up dude.......keep up the good work....can't wait to see more of them as they grow🌱🌿🌲🌳😂😂

 

[Beach_Town_Brit]

I'm a bit stingy with nutes but I do certainly use cannazym at every feed

 

[Beach_Town_Brit]

Thanks, I'm enjoying the speed these autos take off at but I know there'll be a need for patience soon.

 

[Beach_Town_Brit]

Thanks Bob, 18" sound perfect to me I'll bring them down slowly over the first few weeks of the new seedling (assuming it pops)

 

[Vapo69]

"Patience is a virtue".....only after starting to grow weed do I understand this fully lol🌱🌿🌲🌳😂😂

 

[rockman]

Indeed! I've also learned so much about my patience level when growing our favorite weed and other special plants! Really pointed out misguided desire to speed up a naturally occurring process! 🌿 🌼

No Title

I'd like to self-nominate for Fail-O-the-Week.

I'll do a proper update tomorrow unless the self-hatred wholly consumes me.

While Green and Rockman make it look easy, I can at least provide a cautionary counterpoint -- if you have stupid thumbs or bad eyes, plant training can be seriously detrimental to the health of your plants

 

[Beach_Town_Brit]

In some slightly better news Mystic #2 finally broke the surface last night. I thought I'd lost her after she seemed to pop in her pre-soak but then didn't surface for days. Finally after 6 days she surfaced last night and I saw her when I poked my head in before work this morning.

Patience and self-forgiveness are the lessons (again...)

 

[bobsakamoto]

i SO SO second this. i am in the process of getting glasses for the first time ever (oh, hi old age, nice to meet ya) and between my eyes and my own stupid thumbs...well, 2 out of 4 seedlings are the worse for it. the other 2 my cat helpfully topped, fim'd, lst'd, etc.----like he read every tutorial and tried 'em all simultaneously. in happier news my glasses came in yesterday

 

[Beach_Town_Brit]

Yeah the opticians is on the list.

I love the idea of training a cat do do all one's plant training, but how do you train a cat?

 

[rockman]

No Title

BTB, sorry to hear of your disappointing experience with training. Hopefully your girl will overcome this and later give you some joy. Yes, I rely heavily on my glasses to do the fine tuning of my autos. Fortunately my cats don't have access and can't be trained LOL! Just remember all the valuable lessons about plants and yourself that you are learning with your grows! 🌻
On a different note...I saw a question you had about the tie downs for training and how they popped up. I wanted to show you a pic of the bent wires that I use (pen included for scale). The angle, when pushed into the medium, prevents them from pulling back up, and they can always be pushed further deeper as the training continues. These have worked super for my last 2 grows and I wanted to suggest as an alternative to the softer rapidclip wires.
Best wishes for future progress! 🌿

he just did it himself. and naturally he did it in the 30 sec it took me to walk from the table to the sink to get some H2O. the funny thing is he didn't EAT them (again, naturally, bc the ultimate goal is destruction for destruction's sake). he helpfully deposited them in and around the pot. so i picked 'em up, stuck em in rooting powder, put em in some shot glasses with H2O and shavings of jiffy pellet and am hoping HOPING hoping for clones/roots.... he has since been banished from all things grow. in all seriousness i don't think one is gonna make it cuz that one he removed the cotyledons AND the two bottom leaflets. little fucker.

What rockman said so well
