This week included a surprise visit by the landlord, which is why I think some of the leaves have tacoed. I had to hide them, cover your eyes if you're sensitive, and I had to put them in trash bags to cover the smell, and then I hid them in storage containers. It was just a few hours, but they really freaking hated it. I hated doing it too, but I really had no choice. I turned my light down to 75% to give them a break for a day or two since they're stressed. I was hoping bubba would start to look better this week, but she's circling the drain. Hopefully she finishes before whatever is affecting her kills her. At this point I think it's a combination of the light burn, I used cheap soil and earthworm castings and didn't add any perlite, so I think her soil is super compacted. I did the chopstick thing with her yesterday, but I I think the light burn was even more severe than I thought initially. The Forum stompers just keep getting taller, fatter, and smellier. I really hope she smokes like I want her to smoke, like a true girl scout cookie.

This is my first ever grow, and for the most part it's going really well. I do have a moderate amount of growing experience, having grown lots of tomatoes, corn, peppers, squash, all the usual, and I worked at Home Depot for over 10 years in the garden center. Which is a really long way of saying I know not to over water and over fertilize plants. 🤣 I'm actually growing some Bubba Kush as well as the Forum Stomper, but I'm not including it as I want to be eligible for prizes, and unfortunately I turned the light up too early and scorched bubba at about week 4. She recovered and is currently in flower, but her growth was completely stunted for about 2 full weeks. I'm using Fox Farm soil and Down to Earth fertilizer (started amending week 4, and I amend every 2 weeks), and growing organic could not be easier. I'm also using Recharge every two weeks, and I haven't had a single nutrient issue. Really, the lightburn is the only issue I've had. Both bubba and forum stomper seem to be really good strains to grow, they're easy to train and unfussy.
