They look really healthy. Keep it up!!! Here is a link to my grow. You can see some of the training and stuff.
Also I have been watering every other day and the pH meter has a moist position and they always read at the top end of moisture. But I don’t want to drown them? Ranman.

Absolutely slow down on the water. It will kill them if the roots can’t breathe. Wait to water her until her leaves start to droop. Probably no more than 1-2 times a week right now. My girls are in 7 gallon fabrics and they only get water 1 time a week. 2 sometimes if the weather is hot and dry outdoors.
I have a pretty steady area ,usually 80 and 50%…I only do 2 plants and am considering moving one outside. I took 2 clones today and am continuing LST …I have a Power Plant ( never heard of it) and a Jack Herer…White Widow seeds were all duds (5). The PP started like a beast seed sprout had a tail 1" in first day.

Tokerguy I planted my seeds on April 15th. So do you suggest I leave them on the 18/6 Lights for three months and then changing the lights to 12/12 after 3 months. If so about how long do you let them flower? Ranman.

Some flip em earlier, some later. I usually veg until I get her trained out the way I like then flip em. 2-3 months is about what it takes with my lights. You’rs might be sooner, also depends on the strains. Your strain will be flower for 9-10 weeks before cutting. We can help you look at your budz when they get close to 9 weeks to decide when to cut. Most like to wait the 9 weeks then look at the trichomes and cut after they are about 90% cloudy with some amber colored trichomes. This means the plant is mature and ready to cut.

Tokerguy being my first grow I simply don’t know how long it takes before I change my light schedule. They are Feminised Northern Lights. Photos not Auto flower. I realize they are still Baby’s. From what I have read, you should let them veg about 12 weeks then switch the light to 12/12 instead of 18/6. If I am bothering you please let me know. I will send you more pics in a couple of weeks. Thanks for all your help and support. Ranman.

you all good brotha! No worries, anytime. Others are popping in and reading and will def chime in if there’s any issue you might have. Just trying to do my part to put dispensaries out of business. lol
You have the perfect schedule for lights set up. 18/6 for veg then 12/12 pitch black for flowers is exactly what I use, and most on here do also. The cool thing about photos is you can veg them as long as you want until they are as big as you want. Always remember though, after the flip to flower light schedule 12/12, your plants will quickly double in height, some strains may triple. lol

You are like me in some ways…NERVOUS Nelly…LOL…Toker Guy is right on track …it is pretty much to you as long as they have developed to where you want and then when you go to the 12/12 it is amazing to watch. My problem is I start over thinking things…is it enough water…do I have the light right…do I feed…I was so used to mother nature doing all the work…I’ve learned to have a schedule …stick to it and learn from mistakes…I plan on haveing one inside and flip in 2-3 wks and then move one outside just took 2 clones also
.Growing is so much fun and rewarding…

Man you have me pegged. My first grow. I ask Tokerguy but he hasn’t answered yet. So I have the Feminised Northern Lights. I put them in Jiffy Pellets on April 10th put them in Tent on the 25th. So how long should I let them Veg on the 18/6 schedule. I was thinking 3 months then going to 12/12.Also mine are Photos not Auto flower.

Sounds about right
If you notice in the pictures I have sent one plant has much wider leaves than the other one what are the chances it,s a hermaphrodite?
Also since I waited 10 days to put in my tent which was April 25th I am going to let them Veg for 3 months then switch light to 12/12. I have been using rain water on the plants. The pH read a high 6 on my pH meter.Ranman.

I’m pretty sure you haven’t stressed it enough to hermie. ILGM seedlings like your plants are pretty strong and adjust pretty well if you had some issues and they are corrected. Remember each seed is truly a different genetic strain of the same plant you ordered. This is why the leaves and budz of the same strain can grow a bit diff from one another. Just like people, A seed comprises of a mix in genetic code from mom and dad, no two seeds are exactly the same just like kids. Unless, you get two or more seeds in the same pod/calyx. Then it will be just like identicle twins. 99.9% of all seeds are fraternal twins. Best I can explain that.
Tokerguy thanks again. I think I will let them Veg for 3 months. Two of them are growing great and looking really strong. I can’t wait to see what happens after they Veg and I change the light to the 12/12 schedule. I want to see Bud’s Bud’s Bud’s. I have been watering them every other day with 16 once of rain water. They still read almost on the dry side on the pH meter. It has a moisture settings on it. I DO NOT WANT TO OVERWATER. But soil even looks dry the soil is kinda pulling away from the 3 gallon fabric pots. I’m sure I am over thinking this stuff. That’s just me. Thanks for all your support and advice. Ranman.
ya, watering for me was the hardest. The fabric pots will save your ass if you happen to overwater. Remember that the soil needs to completely dry out ech time or root fungus and ant mold can set in to your soil and roots. I will stick my finger about 2-3 inches down into the soil 6 inches from the root stem and if it’s moist or cold and slighty moist I will wait until it’s dry during the test or the leaves start to droop because it’s too dry. Seems to work well. They are really good at finding moisture in the soil with their roots, so don’t worry about thewm drying out. They will def let you know when they need water…
I really needed this jiffy pellet info. Been drowning them.

Thanks I did drain JIFFY PELLET tray it had 12 Pellets I only used 5 But all 5 seeds sprouted. I still have 2 in great shape 1 I thought for sure I would lose doing ok. I one I actually broke in two places and it is small but still alive. The two that are not as good as the others are going outside as soon as it stays at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit outside.Two in my tent are kicking butt to be only 25 days old. They are Photos so I will veg for 3 months on the 18/6 Light schedule. Ranman.
