The Greatest Show On Earth Presents The 16oz Party Cup Grow Off

Nope, not in this little closet! I've prepared my little veg area for the comp and the fixture there has no far-red. Only my flowering area has 10w additional far-red I'm using for EoD treatments and to add it in the 2nd half of the flowering stage.

Happy Friday!

Some leaf curl near the top that I think might be because the light got to close.
She is growing faster than expected.
Wish I measured her last week.
She is just over 11".
I like her trunk the best so I am happy with #1 as my choice.

Felt I had a magnesium deficiency so last watering was some Epsom salt, the watering before that was some GO cal mag +.
Will go water only now for a bit to see how she reacts.
Top dressing should kick in and hopefully stops any continuation of the apparent nitrogen deficiency taking out a few of the lower fan leaves.
Might give her some fresh EWC in the middle of the week.
Happy Growing!!!​

So it's all petty now huh? Just sweep it under the rug right?
Nope! You won't post your plants now because you KNOW the friggin jig would be up right?
It's ok, everyone else can see your last pics of them, those aren't plants that are 17 days old.
But ya know what, I'll play along with your little charade, me being Petty and all. Have a good one brother.

My light is 5000K, 630, 660, plus 730 add on.
Been down the "Flower Initiator" 730 after dark bs several years ago. Here's a little tip - think it get's you more flower sites? Sure, be ready for a ton of small shitty to trim nuglets rather than the plant focusing on the quality nugmeat at the tip of each branch.

nugmeat - Not sure if he coined the term but will credit @Greengenes707 here

Just curious, how much veg time was "not much"?

A seedling will not start to throw pistils until it is sexually mature to do so even if the light schedule is 12/12 from the beginning.

The time that it does not throw pistils is considered veg. Well, at least thats what I think. So thats what I mean by "not much".

FYI I call it veg under 12/12 until the plant shows sex then I call it flower.​

Doesn't matter to me either way.
I compete against myself and would not benefit from cheating.
I look forward to the comp starting March 15th when any light schedule can be used with any light.
Hope you join in and we will see who does best.
My babies today.
I am so glad they are so small. It would suck if they grew fast and I had to deal with the grief lol.
And don't kill the messenger.
I only said what was going to be said at some point.
I may have saved you from getting disqualified if the second light was not allowed to be turned on at a later stage.
Just trying to help Brother!
