1st time grower... Please please please provide advise and follow me on this journey

I’ve been updating mine every day, mostly so I can go back through later and really check the details out, but yeah, the updates get pretty boring. “Day 47, still growing” “day 48, still growing, watered and fed.” “Day 49, still growing” :joy:

I use the BlueLabs pH pen. It’s 100% awesome - calibrate once and it’ll display a :heavy_check_mark: On the display til it’s time to recalibrate (once a month or so). I’ve heard good stuff about Apera too.

Well my cheap ass has the same one as u, and a Vivosun pH pen, they’re not great, but they work if u stay on top of calibrating them regularly. But a bluelab pen is what I plan on buying soon

The plants look great btw, off to a perfect start. I can’t wait to see how ur BB turns out, that’s one strain I’ve yet to grow that I have. Ur doing fine so far tho, keep doing what ur doing, in about 12 weeks, u will be looking at three nice plants full of bud

Ahh, that sucks! I use a cheap one that came with the up/down bottles, and have a backup, just in case lol. Girls look good though

I was having issues on my second attempt to germinate and after trying all the suggested ways and trying to stay in the guidelines from ILGM seed purchases, some took right off some no go soaked for many hours tried paper towel and still no good, I placed a few of the ones that didn’t want to go under a dark cover in the pot that I plant in and it was interesting in like 3 days they sprouted out of the dirt and were just laying there hoping to be seen. A lot of trial and error but it is fun and would love to share, but I do know that there are a lot of good people here trying to assist in many ways.
