Okay, time for an update. Today the plants are two and three weeks old respectively, though my updated photos are after only five additional days growth. I had started the plants before I decided it might be a fun log.
Photos one and two show the incredible growth spurt in the past five days. I'm still feeding 1/4 strength solution, though in two days I'll increase to 3/8 strength for the first four plants. Even the runts of the litter have taken off, and the younger five plants are beginning to level out in height.
Photo three show the rapid internode growth after the plant was topped. Pretty remarkable in my experience. The second and third plants that were topped are beginning to show the same pattern.
The final photo shows the two different phenotypes I get from this F1 seed stock. It will become even more apparent as they mature. One of my goals is to have seeds from each pheno.
The little plants are outside from dawn to dusk, with about ten hours direct sun, in our 95 degree Texas heat. Cindy strains work very well in our heatwhich is why I stick with her. Around 8 PM, I'll bring them into the grow room, and they remain under 4, four ft T5 tubes until 3 am. Three weeks into this little experiment, and I'm quite pleased...B
