Update.

So, two plants so far barely growing - unsure why, but I bet while moving them the seed casings might have loosened so the plant didn't have to struggle to grow. One of the two for sure has baby leaves just starting to grow at least, while the other has the nodes for them but hasn't done anything. One other babe had a bruised stem, so I had to use rooting powder yesterday to try saving it and mounded dirt around the stem nearly up to the leaves. It's now doing much better and seems perky - I think it will live. If we lose it, not a huge deal as we have SO MANY.

About 3/4 have their second set of true leaves already, and a few have visible stem above the cotyledons... The two smallest just barely have their first leaves, but all are getting nice a big!

My husband also thinks they are getting a smell to them already. Great, just great... So we'll have to get some GOOD carbon filters for the house!

Luckily, I "get" plants fairly well. I also do have a variety of fertilizers and fert components already, so I may be able to skip getting special ones. Happy plants for now. Can hardly wait to see how well they start springing up.

Looking for your opinions on this: Considering how MANY plants we have, how long would you let them veg before moving them to 12/12 lighting? We would like to have about twice as much as my hubby needs as supply between the end of this grow and the end of the next - 5-6 months?. So guessing/estimating we have 6 girls (considering the stress they've had plus they are just plain bag seed plants), how big would they need to each be to give 1/2 ounce plus each? And would you suggest making them show gender then return to veg state so we can weed out the boys, or leave as is? With what I've read, you can set them to flower from day 1... But we do want a decent crop too!

Am I correct in my research that the plants will double or more in height during "flower" stage?

Oh, and since we're gonna pinch them likely at node 3 or 4, do you consider with these the 3rd true leaves to be 3, or the 2nd set of true leaves to be 3? Thanks! (I do this with other plants normally in my garden yearly, too)

Shovel, why do you aerate your "teas"? How does that effect the "brew" for the plants? Asking especially since I have a few plants I have to give teas to in my reg garden, and I'm wondering the difference. I think I've learned a lot looking through everything here, really. Looking forward to the next few weeks!

Runt with the first set of leaves growing. Cracked seed ~7/25?

The poor babe that cracked it's stem (thanks to Hubby dropping it during transplant we think). Was pretty bad yesterday, but looks happy now. Shows the mounding of dirt around the stem to help it re-root with the rooting powder.

Fingers crossed for low boy numbers. :vader1:
