3 bog x 24k First Time Grower

Update: Going to just blog everything in this thread.

These are the 6 in 1 gal pots after 6 days from planted germinated seed. Me being new I saw roots starting to leave the mesh for the peat moss starters so I moved them to 1 galleon and cut mesh off.

In a 70/30 Coco/perlite mix with extra perlite at the bottom to drain easy.

Here they are on day 10 after the germinated seed was planted. Got a little mixed up watering them, so only 5 pictures. This was just as lights went on and before being watered.

End of day 17 start day 18. Transplant went OK for 5/6 but one the bottom fell out a little causing me to hear some roots snapping. This was before feeding and I transplanted higher on the stem for more stability.
20200208_190436.jpg
Moved the light up 4 inches to 22 inches and 27k lux on the top

Day 18 from germinated seed put in soil. Leafs a little droppy I think this is from the transplant approx 36 hours ago. I also have the container slightly angled now for easy runoff cleanup. I'm already getting worried about size as these things are already over 14" in diameter, I do have a scrog net I plan to deploy

Day 21. I LST'd the main stem down. And also angled the pots down for drainage and easy lower top.

I lowered my lights to 18" above and I'm at 35k lux up from 28k. Going to increase to 50k over next 4 days.

I noticed some damage on one plant. We have determined it could be spider mites so I have used the next day neem oil and Garden Safe 80422 Houseplant and... B07D7HFDSZ
Going to be using Bonide (BND857) - Pyrethrin Garden Insect Spray Mix, Outdoor Insecticide/Pesticide Concentrate (8 oz.), Brown/A B0035HA0AK
The next 3 days and monitor. My plants got all jumbled cleaning for mites so no correct order just the same going forward after today

Today looks OK but about total ~2 leafs per plant look like I may have had to much pesticide, I don't think there is anything I can do, I washed them off. Took two hours to wash water dry drain and lst. While lsting I snapped a branch off from the base. Luckily it was in my runt. Learned not to bend top shooting branches too hard one way or another. Also 1 set of leafs not looking good, got them up towards light hoping for the best

Day 26,Lesson learned never use anything on leaves during day hours... Plants seem OK, aggressive lst everyday and they are layers of leafs atm. Biggest plant has started stretching others soon to follow as their secondary nodes get bigger.

Turned lights up to 16" and it was 42k and leafs starting curling so moved back down to 37k at 18 inches.

End of day 30/ start of day 31. Upward growth is starting. Building scrog net soon. Feeding is easier as leafs start going up. Saw first signs of pistols. Snapped main branch of my runt bc of bad garden wire. 38k lux @ 20 inch.
