First grow

return_trip #1 and #2 seem to be chugging along nicely. #1 has had a reddish stem from the time it sprouted. The stems to the new growth seem green, so I assume everything is okay. The two larger seedlings seemed a bit yellow so I added some cow manure compost to the top of the soilless seed starter to support the stems as well. With that came fungus gnats, but I may have also been overwatering. The yellow sticky traps have snagged a bunch of them, but I still see a few flying around. #4 that I planted last week never popped above ground, so I germinated another which looks like it's doing well. Hopefully the 1.5 weeks difference doesn't end up making my canopy too awkward.

return_trip #1 and #2 still going strong. I transplanted them into 3 gallon fabric pots today with a 2:1 ratio of FoxFarm Ocean Forest to Perlite and some Mykos around the roots to promote growth. Added a drop of SUPERthrive to a gallon of water and pH corrected to 6.2 before watering around the rim of each plant in the new soil. The other seedling's didn't make it due to my overwatering. The compost I added was not drying as quick as I assumed it was, and the newest seedling I planted died from damping off. The original #3 is still alive, but it's not really growing much.

return_trip Both plants were looking good two days after transplanting, so I decided to FIM on day 25. They seemed to respond well and didn't show signs of stress that I could tell. The plant is definitely getting bushier and some of the lower axillary branches are starting to catch up to the old top of the plant.

return_trip The left plant (#1) was growing taller than the other, so I decided to even everything out with my ScrOG net. Everything looking good, and I'm enjoying tucking new branches and seeing all the lower growth developing!

return_trip #1 is spreading out nicely under the ScrOG net, and #2 is not too far behind but much bushier. The color on #1 is still a bit light so I fed it a little extra this week. #2 is nice and dark green, but I did notice some rust-colored spots in the middle of the week and started adding some CalMag to feeding for both plants.

return_trip #1 is growing and spreading out much faster. Can't wait to start flowering, but probably another 2 or 3 weeks before I fill out enough space. I went a bit heavy on the veg nutrients and started to see a bit of yellowing and curling on the tips so I gave them plenty of water.
