Week 1, germination and seedlings. I don't add any nutrients for this stage because of nutrient burnout. I just water when dry and let the seeds continue to grow under 24/0 light.

Starting this week off with some yellow leaves, its a sign that perhaps the plants are ready for some nutrients, so I added some FloraNova, cal mag, and azos to get ansteady supply of nutrients for the plants to intake. The plant in the bottom right corner seems to be the runt, because it developed roots late, but the other plants seem to be doing well. I used the bend and secure LST method on the majority of the plants, except the runt I will wait for her to get a little taller before I tie it down, also they got an upgrade from solo cups to 3 gallon pots which more than likely will be their final homes. It seems my light has bleached one of the plants a bit so I moved it 2in higher than normal.

I continue to see yellow leaves and cannot figure out the root of it. I can't tell if its a nutrient deficiency or a PH issue, if the nutrients that I add do no suffice then I will go get some PH down, as my soil PH is slightly high at 7.0, but I would not believe that could be the cause of it, only time will tell. To end on a more positive note, even with some yellow leaves some of these plants are bursting with life, and starting the 3rd week with some monster leaves for such a young plant. *UPDATE* We are now currently near the end of the weeks and the plants are beginning to truly thrive with some nice stalks and an explosion of colas. The yellowing seemed to stop now that I give it a regular supply of nutrients, also trimmed off any excessively yellow leaves. I did some very light pruning as well to allow more light to the newer colas and may have accidentally topped to runt plant way too early haha whoops so lets just hope for the best for the little guy.

Nothing new to really add here, plants really are blowing up with growth, I've begun slowly topping the plants to not cause too much stress in one grow.
