Hello all, this is my first grow I started this op in mid August with two chronic seeds. just seeds from bags I got... I know, irresponsible/cheap of me, right? x) Pretty sure they are both GSC, smelling very nice closing in on 3 months of veg here. Shown in the first picture, they are currently 10 and 20"
I will now take a moment to describe my current lighting setup, the highlight of which is a 300w Galaxyhydro, as shown in the second and third pictures. My 22w soft white CFL and 15w t8 (which are visible in the second picture) are currently being used as augmentory lights. Before I bought the Galaxyhydro about a week ago all I had was the 22 and 15w CFLs augmented by a few low-wattage LED lamps I borrowed from a friend to try to make the best of a low-wattage situation. The plants looked healthy, but just weren't getting the watts or lumens they needed to veg properly, which is why I'll be looking at my highlighted plant being just under 2' while 3 months into veg. It was a poor start, but they're better off now and there's nowhere to go but up.
The reggie plants are various ages, the large one on the right and the small one far left are my oldest reg plants, about 2 months old. The healthier of the two is in picture 4. The smaller of the two is that way because a light fell on it early on and broke the stem, crippling it's growth until I buried the broken stem, and eventually it grafted roots and is growing and looking healthy again. Honestly at this point I am only keeping it around for the sake of science xP lol.
In the fifth picture there are the reggie seedlings I just put in soil a couple days ago, currently soaking up some cross lighting between my 15w cool white t8 which is only about 2" from each seedling and my LED panel, currently several feet above them.
In the last picture there is this reggie plant that I started outside and allowed it to get a couple weeks of sunlight before I decided it was becoming noticeable and needed to be transplanted indoors. It's about 3 weeks into veg.
If anyone has any recommendations for when I should start the flowering process, at least for the two chronic plants and the most developed reggie plant, probably, feel free to post with suggestions or PM me. Thanks for reading
EDIT- Forgot to mention I'm using an 18/6 light/darkness regiment. If anyone has tried 24 hr veg please post with your experience. My neighbor is doing a 24 hr veg for the first time experimentally with some reggie plants. Everything seems to be going fine with it so far.
