Cool.
I think you'll be doing a lot of training to keep her within that area though, LOL.
I didn't expect to do as much as I have with 1 plant in a 2x2 area.

 

[labexperiment]

27 hours after she broke ground the true leaves are already showing, is it just me or is she growing fast?

 

[clayman187]

looking good atleast from my limited exp!
still a newb but In my on personal exp. (being few) LSTing is kinda cool...I saw a vid on youtube...this guy had 3 mother plants that were 3 yrs old and only maybe 6 inches tall. Noway I could get mine like that yet but I can dream lol

What strain?

 

[labexperiment]

LA Woman is the strain FEM seed.

This is my first grow, I think I will wait till my second time round to start playing with idea's like LSTing, although I am considering a SCROG.

Also I will be cloning her and was thinking of spraying a clone with Colloidal silver and letting that go to seed. I like the idea of having seeds around.

Quick question, should I be counting day 1 as the day I droped the seed, or the day it broke through the soil?

 

[71bigcat]

I also just germed that strain! I count from when I see it pop thru the soil

 

[labexperiment]

Nearing end of day 2 since they broke ground, just a couple pics.

Not sure if it was ok to remove my humidity bag but I did.

 

[71bigcat]

In my limited experience domes are more necessary with clones, not needed long with seedlings. Once they break ground it's fine to lose the dome

 

[labexperiment]

I just put it back on, the small leaves started to look dry after 3 hours without dome.

Maybe just my overworring with my first grow.

71bigcat, got a link to any pics of your LA Wowan ?

Please link

Its in a root riot cube hasn't even poped yet

 

[labexperiment]

How long has it been in the cube?

Also i'm testing the trackback to see what it does, just ignore it if I miss used it. haha

Also adding a link to my box in the Design and set up forum.

[71bigcat]

Only a day. it's about to pop up any time now, its already got a nice root growing just waiting for the top to flip open lol

 

[labexperiment]

I'm having an issue with how RH i've soaked a pot of peat with nothing in it, and left an uncovered cup of water in the box to try and increase the humidity currently 22%.
No space for a humiditifier in the box.

Any suggestions?

 

[labexperiment]

Still having the RH issue, damp towel didn't help much and I also tried placing a cake pan with soiless mix under the plant and soaking it with water and still hasn't helped the RH issue. The grow room is also at 70 F which may be a little low, currently on a 24/0 light schedule which i'm not sure is good for this strain, anyone know?

Any help would be great thanks.

Here are some updated pics for day 5

 

[theloadeddragon]

cut off the top of a milk jug and mist the inside, place it over/around the plant.

 

[theloadeddragon]

in an area that small tie her down instead of scrogging, FIM it in about a week and a half and then 12/12 another few days later, it will stretch so it fills the box dont worry. you can keep those as close as 3-4 inches away from the plant, I would add a few more CFL's as it gets larger and goes into flower. So thats about 2 weeks till flower, might as well do 18/6 till you FIM then 12/12 a few days later (once first leaf sets are out on new tops).

Thats what my plan would be in that space, with that lighting, and assuming its definitely a female.

 

[labexperiment]

I changed the light cycle to 18/6 and BAM!! leafs double in size overnight. So i'm thinking this strain maybe liking the darkness.

couple of pics

 

[newgrowr]

Lookin good gl with your grow

 

[71bigcat]

I'll post a pic of my la woman later on when I do updates for my journal, got a bit of stretch going on cuz the light is far away. Can't get it any closer cuz of my other plants but I set it on another pot so stretch should stop
