Happy Green Growing

tempImageIFNMbc.jpg
Hello All,
Started my 2nd grow Aug 7th with expectations to improve on mess ups during the 1st! Seeds/clones for 1st grow was from unknown genetics, bag seeds! Provide a decent buzz, but didn't reach full potential after hitting nutrient deficiency.

Friend suggested Mephisto seeds for new grow and once sprouted, seedlings started off leggy due to lighting. Repositioned all in deeper soil with no growth, stalled for a week or so, maybe from over watering. But, today the girls look healthy! But, believe they lost 1-2 weeks development during recovery and maybe stunted. Please take a look at the photos attached and provide any helpful advise, all is greatly appreciated!

Currently, 28 Sep - Mephisto Genetic AutoFlowers SkyStomper 49 days, 3 Bears 48 days and Marley's Grin 48 days above ground!

May I ask what lights your using. Three 600 watt lights in a 4x4 is tough for me to picture.
I'm only on my 4th grow, but I would recommend if you have stunting issues early, I would hold off on any other things that would stress them more, like topping or lst. Sometimes its best to just let those ponies run.

Hi Badfinger,
Wakyme 600w full spectrum brought about a year ago on Amazon, low-end, fairly decent price. Believe the stunting is due to legging from lack of light during germanation and then stall period after overwatering. Thought about tossing and starting over, but using as learning opportunity with interest of outcome. They have potential to produce something, if all the bud sites are any indication! Couple of weeks ago, considered the stress, but added small amount by snipping off 1st node and placed garden staples on 3Bears and SkyStomper bottom branches.

Day 58 above and 14/20 flower, taking note on what not to do on next run!

Hope your grow is going well and thanks for the advice!

I will say one thing I have learned, no matter how bad I screw up or how bad my plants look, some how I always get some mind blowing smoke off them. Therefore, once you pass the seedling stage, dont give up on them. They will produce something.

Noted, hope I can do the same...
 
Hello Growers,
Over the last couple of weeks since last update, the little lady's remain little lady's! They never recovered from the rocky start causing "stuntation" (word creativity). Decided to let 'em do what they do and live out their dwarf life. Waiting on trichomes to turn amber for the smallest harvest ever seen. Hope cure goes well and produce some good :smoking:

Good learning experience on what not to do, can't wait to start next...

Hello Growers,
Decided to take down the little ones to make room for new grow! As you can see below, not much of a harvest! Cut these small buds to dry in hopes of a couple of decent sessions while current smoke is very low. But, learned and adjusted couple of things with tent RH, lighting and watering (not to do's) going forward. New seedlings are doing well, will start new journal next week and hoping for a better outcome...

Closing out this chapter as a failure!
