hey guys been a while!!

I am after some advice again!!
Currently going through a process of buying the house i have been renting for a while and cannot be set up for a while (at least 3/4 months im thinking)
i have 6 regular seeds that i want to flower out four females what do you guys think would be the best way to play it..

im thinking pop 1 and grow it out on a window sill > top it > root it > flip it > repeat if necessary until i hit a female. one plant on a sill is easy concealable if needs be.. and hopefull by the time im the official owner of the house i will have a decent mother.. anyone got any better ways?


cheers!

Drop all 6. Lucky to get 4 fems. And how hard is it to conceal a seedling at 4 weeks from germ or less?

I mis read. 3-4 months. Not 3/4 months. LOL.

Still drop more than one. Grow to 3 nodes past first true leaves and flip. A few solo cups aren't that hard to hide. If you get a female reveg and clone from it.

I hated growing as a renter. Yet I moved starter trays to 1 gallon pots as needed.

Congrats on the home purchase.

Three nodes past the first set of leaves is usually only a week and a half From what I've seen. For example, this was at 15 days from pop and is already onto it's 5th set of leaves (not counting its first set of course).

Edit, ignore me. I didn't realise OP was trying to conceal. Obviously not looking for a large plant. Three nodes past first should be fine for an easily concealed grow.

Four weeks from germ is hardly a seedling. This is at day 29. Can be quite hard to conceal, even at four weeks.

They grow quick.

LOL.....You didn't really mis-read it, the OP just didn't communicate it clearly.

I also interpreted it as "three quarters" of a month, which I thought was strange as most would just say 3 weeks.

Yep....I fell for it too as you can see above.

I believe you meant 4 weeks from first hair after flipping.

Props to you if I am wrong. Impressive for 4 weeks from seed and delayed by the flip. I call B.S..

When did you germinate? Wasn't March 24. Oh boy. B.S. as called. TY for the facts.

I've proven and rested my case. Petition the peanut gallery. TY for the grin. Peace.

Any time. I'm always up for some ruffling of feathers. Went in pot 15th, popped out the ground march 17 I'm pretty sure. I added the march 20 pic in.

I would just set a micro grow box and get good/creative with lst training and have a small enough setup that can sit under something, or behind something or bottom corner of closet, ect..
I have a couple small spaces going and they are fairly low key and people think it's just a storage box or something. As long as I have notice to unplug things and hide the weird electric box aspects, I've had no problems. I've also never had someone go through all my belongings but if I did I'd probably get pretty pissed. Renting sucks.
I've had a couple strains that smelled too strong and you could smell them flowering as soon as you walked in, that wasn't very fun times.

Prob best to just wait until you can be properly set up.

The idea was kinda to get ahead, last time I waited untill I was set up the first grow took so long. to flip them get rid of males and reveg adds weeks and weeks of wasted electric and time! Getting an easy concealable matured mother ready to take cuts from would save weeks and It something I can do now.
