Lemon Fresh on Day 14 Seedling


FX3 looking good :arrow_up: :arrow_down: on Day 4 Seedling

Ive been going with 18 Days as my go-to Seedling to Veg transition. Seems to work, Usually by that time, I’m getting multi-fingered leaves.
Seems no one can for sure say when exactly the transition takes place… No definitive answer. Between 2-3 weeks seems average.

She’s working on her 3rd set right now.

Looking at moving one of these girls tonight, I think.

And Ive been running lights 24/7 the whole time. Think I’ll keep doing that until Vegetative Stage begins. Seemed to work well for Seedlings in a prior grow.

I agree with the light schedule. I go a couple to several weeks before backing down to 20/4 or 18/6. Can’t figure which of those schedules I like more.

Looking really good so far.

FX3 looking good on Day 5. Still together in the tent. Lemon Fresh really starting to stretch out a bit on day 15. She’ll be in Veg this weekend and go to 18/6 schedule :100:

Decided to take inventory of my ABV left over from vaping.
28oz :exploding_head:
Damn. I give it to friends to make cookies and one is short of money so she gets a zip bag full every few months. Teaspoon a day keeps her happy and high :rofl: I may water wash it and run it thru my butter machine one day.

Decided to take Stan and Stark out for a late afternoon walk. Just us guys :beers:


My buds weed still sitting in the Cannatrol drying for 5 days, and curing for the past 11 days.

Glad to see you’ve got both tents going again! I look forward to watching you do another incredible grow.

Thanks dude, I appreciate it! Glad to be growing again.

These should both harvest in April. Plan on starting a May grow in two tents as well. That one should finish off just before heading out to Johannesburg, South Africa in September. Got a bit of a plan.

Moving the tents as well. Getting my living room windows back this year.

Tuesday’s out the effendor Pic…

Here she is, Day 3 Veg. Day 23 Since Germination.
Thinking of mixing some nutes tonight. Made another 5 gallons of RO water this weekend, so at least thats done…

Will probably go half-strength, or maybe 600ppm with the Athena Blended nutes Ive been using from my start in April of 23
Time to start pushing her a bit, and see what she can do.

UVA light on now as well. Cant seem to change the level independently of the Main light when in AI mode. Several glitches with this new controller :boom: :boom:

I figure UVA is always there on outdoor grows, so I’ll be incorporating it in both my grows from Veg thru Flower. Its on Level 4, same as main light. Should be good.

Here’s some in-tent cam shots…


And we can see the UV lights are now on. They are mounted to the upper bars which are also supporting the Grow Light Science ProGrow 320. Due to improper design, it refuses to hang level… unless you remote mount the Driver. :exploding_head: :bomb: :exploding_head: :bomb: or go 4-cable method. Which I did last time around. Hassle and half to adjust.

Right now, she’s pulling right around 300+ppfd. I’ll let her ride that for a short time, then shoot up to 400-600
