In case anyone wants updates on this grow, I've moved the log to https://www.reddit.com/r/fubargrow/ for posterity.
Long story short: One male culled after 10 days of flowering. Strategic defoliation at about the same time - I really wish I'd done that much earlier.
Two girls left - one a very, very stretchy plant that has gone from 10" t...

Plants are now 49 days since sprouting and are in a small (160x60x60) hydromax tent with a 125mm Blauberg exhaust fan into a monster 6" Filteroo ready for the stink of flowering. They're already suspiciously dank when I open the tent and they had quickly outgrown my bucket and box spacebuckets. I'm using the box for veging my clones because I plan on flow...

My 3 bagseed plants are doing very nicely with my cheap combination of LED downlight and E27 globes surprisingly enough - despite comments suggesting they were crap - we'll see how they go when I flip.
Feeding now at 3/4 of the recommended strength from the canna coco website - 2.5ml/L of A and B, calmagic 1ml/L and acetic acid 0.75ml/L to br...

Here's this morning's happy snap - 8 days from the first entry photos showing first true leaves.
Seems odd that the three plants from the same bag have such different growth rates at this early stage - one runt and two bigger ones. The runty one had the jiffy pot sticking up out of the coco about 1cm so I added more coco to bring the level up yester...

coco canna progress

Still using low strength canna coco (0.5ml/L) with calmagic (1ml/L) now. Tap water here has an ec of 106 for a total ec is 540.
Will soon be doubled to half strength.
Here's some progress - seeing third set of leaves opening nicely although one plant is slower than the other two. Seems like 61 actual watts of LED is enough to give reasonable g...

Background: I'm a retired academic with a fondness for weed dating back to the first time I ever smoked - a chillum of ganja in southern India in 1969 (!) - fuck, I am old! I've been a lurker on this site for a year or two, reading and learning. - my last plants were from bush guerilla grows in Gippsland (vic) state forest in the 70's and I've been buying...
