New Grower Hope She's Gentle. It's My First Time! - Think Different

[Freiya]

I hope you are more patience than me. I want to smoke so bad I'm having dreams of cutting down my 15 day old plants to smoke them. LOL



Nice setup man.

LOL! I'm already envisioning the day I get to say goodbye to the weed guy! Thanks for stopping thru, and feel free to continue doing so. All advice and constructive criticism is welcome! I'm just a newbie hopping in the game for the first time, so it'll be needed and greatly appreciated

Welcome and good luck. I'd keep my light at 24". I got mine really close and stunted the plant (I think). Next grow I'll follow this advice and see if I get a taller plant.

yep its all about the air movement.she has to sway in the breeze,not direct air but like a oscillating fan.u know so she still then she move a little. then I promise she will get thick and strong to hold heavy buds.

 

[ThaGreenBandit]

Thanks for the warm welcome Albert. That name is funky! I'm diggin' it!

Faded - just put my fan in not even 30 minutes ago! Yeah, putting my Lil girl on an exercise program so hopefully she grows nice n strong not produces nice, fat, and sticky buds! Thanks for stopping through, Faded, and you too, Albert. Drop in anytime!

Added a fan yesterday so she can catch a slight breeze, and now she' dancing her lil ass off! Soil is getting a bit dry, so I'll water her today. I've been reading that the a good way to water a seedling is to water her directly at the base and not over saturate the whole pot, so that is what I plan on doing. She's grown 1/4" since yesterday, but no new leaves. When should I be expecting the next set?

Make sure she isn't dancing too much...

Just a gentle shimmy...slow jam-style.

Next set of leaves will prob. be apparent in the next 48 hours or so....

Also, you can keep a large portion of the soil moist by watering in a "ring/circle pattern" around the outer perimeter of the pot
as long as you don't super-saturate it...so there is a bit of a barrier between the ring and that column of moisture you're utilizing
to train the taproot to the bottom of the pot. That way it isn't attempting to draw moisture away from the center....

You know I am! When I saw my lil' girl pop up above the surface, for the first time yesterday, I was as proud and happy as a new father!! LOL

When I saw my wee nipper above ground f the first time id say the feeling was on par with birthing my kid... the plant didn't do as much damage either haha.

I use the tapatalk app and imo I think it's easier t navigate. F pics though I would defo recommend using the comp as they're a pain on here and and depending on whether your growing somewhere legal it'll keep info stuffs in the pic. Good luck with the grow my man :sharing one:

Thanks for stopping through Chandy! When I first saw my little lady pop up above the surface, I gotta admit I felt like a proud father! The two previous days I was pacing, chewing my nails, and constantly checking to see if she had surfaced. I was so worried that I had screwed something up and she wasn't gonna make it. Talking about relief when she finally did! Yeah, tapatalk does make things easier, but can be kinda slow, and sometimes throws error messages my way for no reason. I'm starting to get the hang of it, though. Once again, thanks for stopping through, and I hope to see you back!
