Northern Lights, Tan. Dream, Blueberry!

Week 5 Day 32: Good Morning! They've recovered from the water-drooping they were doing yesterday from Day 30's water/feed. Feeling better about them all around. I did tighten down the LST on the Blueberry & the good Northern Lights. I'm happy that they've got really good sites to work with even though small in stature. Each plant has a good handful of 'tops' that are getting full light and I'm hoping that the LST will open up a few more. The Tangerweenie Dream is the only one that shows pre-flower pistils, but I'm guessing by the end of the week they all probably will. I'm happy for however long they wish to delay. The tallest (TD) is ~17" from the lights while the others are closer to 20". Besides the single NL that will remain yellow, the rest look pretty good. Bright to darkening green and not much sign of leaf trauma beyond what was there for previous weeks. Day 33: Ah the dawning of a new day! New shot up of how they looked this morning...two looks pretty happy (the NL & Blueberry on the right, Then the other two are just doing whatever they're doing. :) Luckily this is a shakedown journey since it's a first grow. Happy that I've learned a lot and will continue to learn. Happy that at least a couple of the plants look on track. They'll get watered tonight. My method these days is to finger-test the soil and once it feels dry enough...wait a day before watering. That seems to be working! New long spout 1l watering can arriving today so I can have more precision in watering and less water on the leaves. Tonight it'll be well water w/ Cal/Mag added. {edit} Evening: Watered tonight with added Cal/Mag and balanced to 6.5pH. At some point in time Ms. Blueberry DID move towards flower and the healthier of the two Northern Lights did too. Good chance to try out the new digital magnifier and see how it does! There seems to be the hint at some "candy" (as the kids say) hidin' in the ladyparts. Day 34: After last night's solid watering with nothing but Cal/Mag everyone appears to be pretty.frickin.happy. Over night Ms. Blu'brie and Ms. Northern lights have both expanded outward and upwards noticeably. No one had a single droopy with the watering. The one NL remains late to the party, stunted and stewing in her own simmering inner rage. Whatev. Day 35: Pretty much ignored things...lots of other stuff at home to focus on. Hot day with the tent getting to about 87f and averaging closer to 86f. I'd pushed to drop humidity down to the mid 40% range and that introduced a lot of heat to the equation, along with exterior ambient temperature being in 80-85 range and super humid (75-90% outside). Day 36: Ignored all day again. ; ) Tent temperatures definitely modulated a bit...with lights on during the day still around 86f but with lights out down to about 78f the average is 83.6f. Watered in the evening (I know bad practices but it was a busy day) with unsoftened well water & a very light addition of cal/mag. Each pot took about 1 liter with a little run-off. Ms. Blu'brie and the prettier Northern Lights continue to stretch. I have added a few of my cheap low wattage cheap LED units around the sides of the plants. I know side-light isn't terribly effective but it's definitely helping reach the stuff down low. ***here's a cool thing...the tent is smelling pretty loud at this point. And I have the T6 venting to a small ground level basement window. With the new carbon filter installed and the fan cranking at its fastest, it's effective enough that when we had a backyard party the buffet tables were about 3" away from the vent location...and not a single person smelled anything. Nice! The one person who knows I have a tent checked it out, commented on how strong smelling the plants are, and commented that she was amazed that not a single person knew they were a few feet away from a grow. Day 37: All plants continue to stretch and flowering is becoming more obvious. Nothing new or exciting here, Temps topped out in tent at 85 but were generally modulated between 78 at night and 84 during the day. Day 38: All 4 plants have stretched and even the 'unhealthy' Northern Lights is undoubtedly at the start of flowering. It never did come back from the yellowing of its lower greenery but is bright green and OK at the top. All plants are around 10" tall at this point. I have some of my super cheap low-wattage tube lights propped along the sides of the plants to give just a bit extra light around the edges. Maintaining a DLI of low 50's at the top and in the 40's down below. PPFD is ranging from mid 800-1K. Not quite ready for watering yet (This mix must be a little dense, because it's generally an every 3 days thing for me, so hopefully tomorrow. '
