Miracle grow #2

[jambamamba]

So got some more random seeds from some good bud I had. They are roughly 1½ months in veg in the grow tent. Mixed some miracle grow soil with perlite this time to help moisture control and moved to their final pots alot sooner than I did last time. Got the light cycle on 16/8. Also topped them this go around and am trying out some LST and put mylar on the bottom of larger plants to help with light penetration hopefully. They are looking good and healthy, also noticed around the branch/bud sites base has more of a node. I'm not sure if that has to do with topping or what but I haven't seen this before. Maybe it's just some healthy indicators? Any opinions on that would be worth a listen. Still running the 110w light by Giixer with a replaced fan but still running great. I've been looking at larger lights but I've burned plants before with this one so that just has me iffy about it. Thanks for the gander

Looks good. Maybe a little heavy on the water, but hard to say. It was just my first impression. Not sure how well the Mylar works for light penetration. I tend to remove the larger fan leaves for that.

The water drops on the leaves can burn them under the bright lights. I usually shake the water drops off after watering.

The one node in the pics looks normal to me, but not ready to show sex. Are these feminized or regular seeds?

Try and keep those fan leaves out of the soil.

Yeah I had just watered them about 30 minutes prior so they were just juicing up, they were perked back up this morning. And I just saw another post asking about trimming fan leaves this early so I'm gonna give it a go. I think one trim now then maybe 2 light trims in flower spread out. They are also just some reg seeds I got out of some good bud.

it's hard to tell what's going on with the blurple lights...the leaves seem to be a little funky, are they clawing or mebbe too much water...

Did some fan leaf trimming and some more tie downs. I was super iffy about trimming the big perty green leaves but I think it was worth it. I also think the "topper" is going to survive so I'll get a clone from it which is another first. I'm definitely going to have to build myself a bigger tent as this 2x2x4 is just not gonna be enough. Great for getting them started though!

Seems like everyone has given you great advice I'm curious to see how the miracle grow soil does I've had issues when I have used it before do to the time release nutrients they put in it makes it difficult to flush but looks like your doing a great job so far will be looking forward to see how they finish up happy growing brother

Alright so here's an update, moved out of the city and took the two fattys with me but one turned out male. I almost decided to let them pollinate bc I think they would've made some beauty's but I plucked him. Gotta feed the monkey haha... anyways I'm about two weeks in since I flipped to 12/12. Started some LST and did a light trim to get some more light down the center.

I like the blue with green centers effect that light has on your plant. Almost like a black light on magic marker ink. Plant looks happy. I'm running mg this time too. The performance organics

I've never seen branch joints so bulbous like these granted I haven't seen a TON of other grows but I've been persistent with my "research". Have you gotten or seen this before? My other was even thicker around joints where they connected to the main stem.

nice job on training the plants...

 

[spunom]

Yes. It's quite common with topping. I've had some the size of marbles

Boy what a difference a week makes... did some more tie downs to keep the canopy even. At this point I don't think I'll tie anything else down again, hoping it will have a somewhat even growth. Will have 1 more defoliation I'm going to do in another 4-6 weeks. I did one at begging of flower and middle of veg. Going to start adding black strap molasses after a good heavy flushing. Getting sorta close!
