Problems so far and how resolved
Cutworms: used diatomaceous earth on soil top and killed visible ones at night. Frogs moved in and helped take care of the rest
Grasshoppers: predator assassin flies moved in.
Leaves on gorilla girl were lime green: used 1/2 tsp miracle grow all purpose to 2 gal water for two weeks resolving nitrogen deficiency.
Info on initial cutworm problem. The miracle gro soil that was purchased was infested with cutworms. Once the first seedlings popped out of soil all seedling containers were put under 24/7 light. Unknowingly this saved every plant I had as it kept the cutworms under the soil for the first 2+ weeks of the plants life. I did not know my mg soil was infested and without the constant light the cutworms would have surfaced and began eating the stalks/leaves.
Picture info will start being posted here to reduce self commenting.

Added pics of all the crystal candy f1 fast & gorilla girl f1 fast. 2x CC are packing on the size like mad. Gorilla Girl f1 fast are just starting to form. GG is going to have some huge buds as the sativa dominant trait makes some very tall plants with large internodal spacing (in flower) resulting in light coverage to pretty much every flower.
STOPPING nutrient use for a few days in preparation of using more nutrients in the coming weeks. Just being safe as my environment leaches away each watering very fast and this can cause unwanted buildups that I would rather not have mid flower.
Camera is
Moto e6 crap phone but seems to be ok for pics.
CHECK BACK DAILY FOR NEW INFORMATION AND PICTURES..
@Sweet_Seeds, no problem. Thank you for taking the time to check my diary out. Visit back often as my diary will become very picture heavy as soon as flower is more pronounced.
@EpyxZ, I am sorry to hear about this incident.
In principle, this type of situation usually appears when the plant presents some type of stress. Some are more sensitive and with a minimum of stress can present this type of problem. In some cases it may not happen with the others, but it is also possible that it could happen again.
Sweet smokes,

Your weather sounds like mine near Edmonton in Canada. We’ve had five or six nights at 1 C which finished the tomato and potato plants, but the cannabis is fine. Your Crystal Candy is way bigger than mine. Are you really hitting 32C with frost at night, or like me forgetting to update the temp and hours of light? Anyway, cheers to outdoor growing.
Okay, scratch my comments about weather as I see you’re in a desert. That’s a lot of watering. 😳 In week 1 your “lolliscrog” is pretty awesome. Good job.
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Peace & Love - L.S.T 🙏🏼🌟
Very interesting! I have yet to try any fast version strains.. Just ordered some Aura Genetics (nothing but fast version strains.. Limited to 100 packs per strain) and can't wait to get one of them going! Been thinking of making some myself with Colloidal Silver.. Very curious to see how fast versions turn out.. Also.. Miracle Grow?!?!? Is it working ok for you? No issues? Not too much nitrogen in flower? Almost every purple strain I grow, I have to completely cut out Nitrogen.. Almost. Leaves start clawing and turning very dark green.. Almost blueish.. But man, your ladies are lookin great! Good job!
