First grow: Get These Cookies Kush

April 11th and 12th 2021 So I'm new at this. Can you tell? Not new to growing in general just new to growing ladies. These badass queens were planted March 20 and I was trying to follow a series of videos for growing. That clearly is not really working for me as the steps he took might have related to the strains he was growing. I transplanted into solo cups on April 8th, but I feel like I maybe should have gone straight to 1 gallons or 5 gallons (these are photos not autos). I only have 5 gallon pots or 1 gallon pots btw so that's my options hahaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaa okay. I have not fed them nutes yet and I feel like they are already nutrient deficient or something cause I'm getting discoloration. They are currently in Happy Frog and I am thinking to repot them today into 5 gallon pots with the 20% perlite mix. My worry is how to start feeding. I don't think they're over-watered (quite possibly under-watered because of my watering paranoia) but I don't want to over water them when I add nutes. Should I add nutes in the Happy Frog? I feel like I'm driving myself crazy with "what-ifs" Advice is appreciated my growers. NOTE: I put these ladies onto an 18-6 schedule in my tent JUST YESTERDAY. So they've only been on the Mars Hydro light and in the tent for 24 hours. I also might have noticed a small amount of heat stress curling on one plant. I AM A BALL OF ANXIETY FROM THESE LADIES I JUST WANT TO DO BOMB.COM.... --------- April 13th 2021 I noticed this morning that they're quite a bit taller and one even has her leaves reaching upward (is that good? I've read that can mean that they're happy or that they have a magnesium issue. I think I'm reading too much about it). I didn't water the when I transplanted them because they still had some water in the root ball...but then I think I let the soil dry TOO much because when I gave them a bit of water on Sunday it took some effort to soak the water in. I hope I didn't hurt them too bad in the transplant lol. I think maybe they're finally getting used to the tent, light, and transplanting. I still want to put them into 1 or 5 gallon fabric pots soon (with more happy frog) ------------ April 14 2021 No idea. I gave them some water an I definitely think they're getting taller? But I can't really tell if the tops are growing more. For my very first grow I guess I should just be calm and patient and leave the ladies alone (haha). I can't help but be anxious and try to now everything that is going on with them at all times. I would like to transplant to bigger pots tomorrow or the next day. I don't want to do it right after I watered and I also transplanted them into those solo cups last Thursday/Friday. Also, I lowered the light today to 24" as I thought it was at that height already, but it was actually much higher. Come on girls, you can do it! I believe in you! (and me) ------- April 15 2021 *signs* It's Aaaaaapril 15th and still Nooooo idea what I'm doooooIIIIIIINNNNG. But it's cool. What's not cool, or maybe what is cool I should say, is the tent. At least to me. The temperature is sitting at 20 degrees C it seems but I would like it at 25 during the day. Heater recommendations anyone? My tent is 3x3x6'11 TTekHydro. The ladies seem okay today. I still worry that I stunted them, but I do see nodes (are they nodes?) activating and the leaves are definitely bigger than on April 11th. I think I just need more patience and less anxiety. I mean they look healthy, I just feel like everyone else's plants grow faster than mine haha. I need to get up out of these ladies faces. Shit. --------------- April 16th 2021 We got a little heater! It's a little heat bud and it warmed the tent up nicely to about 24 degrees so I'm happy. Still plan on transplanting this weekend I think. Lots of nice new growth so I'm excited to transplant and start topping maybe. Yay!! ——————- April 17 2021 The ladies look great since we put the heater in there and new growth is coming in great. Transplanting tomorrow I think. I just want them to have bigger pots for easier management. I think the discolouration I was worried about at the beginning of the week was because they has used up all the happy frog in their seedling starters. Or transplant shock.

April 19 2021 Oooooooh shit. Well I let them get TOO dry and quickly gave them some water last night cause some of the ladies were drooping. I guess once the heater is in there the medium would dry faster haha. My bad. At least they're not overwatered. Yes, I still have a goal of transplanting today or tomorrow. Life has happened. Don't at me. I think they are looking good though. I'm happy so far for my first grow! 😍 -------- April 20 2021 OKAY FINE. You got me. I'm nervous to transplant. I'm sure it's fine...it has been well over a week since I put them in the solo cups so I should just friggen do it. Anyway I got some wind on those ladies as the video will show (does it even work?). So they're dancing and swaying those hips and getting ripped cores. Might try FIMing instead of topping for these ladies...just cause I want to cause them the least amount of stress possible. My next concern is the fact that two of these plants are actually Hash Passion REG seeds so I don't know if they'll actually be females. I'm hoping so cause I don't want to mess with the cookies. I might plant the Hash Passion's outside once it's warm enough. That might be a mistake an they might die, but they were free seeds so whatever. Hah. ------- April 21 2021 We did it! We transplanted them! God that was stressful. I hope they're okay. I didn't water them very much at all when we transplanted. Just gave them enough water on the top to tamp the soil down. They were still a bit damp so I'll probably water them well in a day. They look happy. Dancing in the breeze I put on them...shaking them maracas, girls. I love them. My next step/curiosity/experiment will be topping or FIMing. Any help or advise on that would be much appreciated. I think only one of my cookies ladies is almost ready for any training. Stay tuned....*shake shake shake*

April 26 2021 I forgot to update the last 4 days of last week, but the ladies are good! There wasn't too much to update. We transplanted them last week so now they're just growing away! Getting legitimately curious now about how to train. Should I LST? Should I top? Should I FIM? Combo? Do I do it now? Oh man, but I'm also nervous to cause stress to my ladies. Advice is appreciated. So far still in soil. Obviously some new soil on Saturday when we transplanted so I still have not added any nutes beyond the FFHF. I love having this diary for next grows after this one. Other growers keep making me nervous telling me it's so stressful and so much work to train so a little bit of encouragement that I don't have to worry would be nice hahaha.... ————————- April 29, 2021 AAAHHH WE TOPPED WE TOPPED WE TOPPED. I’M SO NERVOUS. Do you think they’ll be okay? Will they be strong and heal? Eeeeer I hated cutting the growth off 😭 I think I instantly regret it haha shit. I guess I’ll keep you updated but I have such butterflies in my stomach cause I’ve never done it before.
