22 Days Since Sprout - How is it going and next steps

Hello there my fellow growers

All good?

Its been 22 days since my little girl has sprouted. This is my first grow.
After a bumpy germination, she has grown beautifully strong.

Here she is right now:



Right now beginning her 4th node I think. And growing her first set of 5 bladed leafs. Been feeding her once a week with roth ferts. The next steps are transplanting to a 3L smart pot, then topping and then LSTing.

So what do you guys think so far? Is she ready for transplanting? Is she big enough for age? What can I do better?

She is under 84W on a PC grow

Thank you all

I cant see any roots from the bottom drainage holes yet or from the side holes either. Should I wait a few more days or transplant her right away?

Thank you very much for the reply

I would transplant first then give her a couple days to adjust before topping.

If it does become "root bound" and makes a ball, even though its not optimal you can squeeze the ball alittle and break loose some root tips off the bottom by lightly scratching with a fork. This helps the roots grow down, instead of continuing into a knot or ball

Question is, do you guys think she is ready to transplant or should I wait a few more days?

Sooner the better...

Well, “fuck it”

There she is:


Is she too stuffed of medium?

Now wait a few days till she settles, then wait for the 4th node to develop so I can top on the 5th node?

Thank you all

Looks good

Poor baby needs more light. Those secondary nodes will take forever to grow out if she doesn't get more light.
