Solid week, no major changes. Plant 2 is now taller than Plant 1. Plant 2 was put in soil 3 days after Plant 1. Noticed fungus gnats on top layer of soil, sprayed with insecticidal soap.

Hello! If your an organic grower like me or just want to naturally control gnats is beneficial nematodes. Here is a link to Amazon. I have had to use them in the past where it got a bit out of control. Works great. That and sticky traps placed on the top of soil will keep gnats controlled Happy growing! 😊 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I0ZUGLK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_VY8M4W0TF0XEF0Q3P8DS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Added cal-mag, putting sticky traps to control gnats. Plant 2 really taking off, 3rd set of leaves coming in. Plant 1 picking back up doubling in height over the last week.

Great growth IMO, after a slight nute burn for plant 1. Major heat wave this past week, so they have been back & forth in the house and outside to prevent heat stress. Plant 2 is outpacing plant 1, which leads me to believe that the growth was stunned somehow, but otherwise, a good beginning to week 3.

Good week overall, plant 1 is starting to really sprout up. Plant 2 is also growing at a rapid rate, with an abundance of new growth, almost ready for me to begin LST. I did notice powdery mildew yesterday, so I applied some Neem oil with hope that it helps. With that being said, I'm still excited about the potential of both of them! Sidenote: 8/8/21 pictures for week 4 are day number 23 of vegetation.

Hello Dj it's pretty hard to diagnose just with a picture... I see water drops on a couple leaves, if you spray a plant with the lights on it can burn the leaves because the droplets act like a magnifying glass... also the soil seems to have quite a bit of wood in it and this can create hot spots in it, as organic material decomposes it creates nutrient enriched soil if this is not balanced with other amendments it can burn your plants as the roots grow though the hot spots Hope this helps you Cyrus

This was a "MEH" week for the babies. Determined that both had heat stress due to being outside during a heat wave. Leaf set on 1st node on both plants browned and fell completely off. Starting to pull through, although plant 1 had to be transplanted to a different pot due to being root bound. Both started growing again about 3 days ago and taking off again, about 3/4 of a inch a day. Started LST when growth was noticed and they are responding decently. Been alternating between indoor and outdoor during the hot parts of the day, but will just play it by ear for the next couple of weeks.

Bad couple of weeks for me dealing with Covid-19 & kids school schedules. Barely watered and couldn't maintain anything. Blessed that they are still hanging in there.

To my surprise, after all that these plants have been through, they finally made it to flower! 😁😁 Been working my butt off trying to get them back in to form after my bout with Covid. Week 6 I missed all together and luckily Week 7 pics I put up on Saturday. Started LST the day after I took the picks for Week 7, which was in actuality the 6th day of Week 6. Also started defoliation out of necessity, all leaves and branches that were removed were long wilted away. Started transitioning to flowering nutes on yesterday (9/5) and will monitor progress. All in all, a good week and an astounding comeback for the ladies, hopefully they finish out strong!

Tragedy struck in the form of my puppy. Sat Plant 2 on my porch to get natural 🌞 and left for an hour, came back and........ well just see the pics. The literal next morning, I started seeing pistils developing on it....🤬🤬🤬😡😡😤. Plant 1 is still going strong, some of the fan leaves are falling off but they were already doing so from my sick negligence. More pistils are developing on all nodes now, with bud sites becoming more noticeable day by day. Sad 😔 week for me but hopefully it all works out for the best!

Trichome production is really picking up & smell is getting stronger day. No major changes. Plant 2 has been outside since my dog bit half of it off but it's steadily getting stronger 💪.

Buds starting to fatten up, but has not yet completely stretched....The smell is starting to set in and it is AWESOME!!! Sweet fresh grapes & a sugary blueberry smell, not yet overpowering, but a head turner 😋. Changed nutes due to other plants not posted but they seem to be reacting to them better then the FF Trio. STAY TUNED!!!!!

I'm sooooo ready to pluck the first plant, but I know they aren't ready. There is some purple coming in on some of the smaller fan leaves, I would be so ecstatic because my favorite weed is purple weed! But just going through my paces. Checked trichomes, mostly clear although there are some cloudy & few amber near the top of the main cola.

Well well, I'm actually getting excited 😊. Plant 1 is almost ready to harvest, will be doing so this upcoming weekend. Did 2nd flush on it today and the TDS is within excellent range. Now for plant 2 🤔. No clue what to think about it, has remained stagnant in bud development so I probably start flushing it for harvest as I'm harvesting Plant 1. All-in-all, just really ready for the 9th inning stretch of my first grow!!! Also #GoBraves ⚾️& #HowBoutThemDawgs 🏈!!
