The constant struggle for 3 weeks caused me to go through every potential issue in the book. Decided it was worth replacing her with 3 new babies and learned her roots were severely tangled in the clay pebbles. After freeing her I transplanted into soil and put under a weak houseplant light.
Moved from the windowsill to my closet, bought another set of 80w lights, and used lamps to raise the temperature. Going surprisingly well other than obvious stretching. Cut clones to get ahead of the outdoor season!
It's finally warm enough to put the ladies out for some sun, getting explosive results vs the weak closet lights. Adding an hour each day outside to get used to the light and adding an hour of complete darkness per night until she's on the outdoor cycle.
Stretching is not going to be a problem anymore, she is creating new lateral branches like crazy and the new vertical node spacing is 1/2 inch instead of 3-4 inches before.
My plan is in full motion, all plants that I want to harvest are in their final containers. Adding PH'd water every morning has been basically all I have done. First time doing a fully outdoor no training grow and it is fantastic.
The first week of flower, amended the soil with 1/2 cup of bonemeal in each pot. The days after I applied it was very humid and white mold grow on the top layer of the soil. I used a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide to kill the mold. This worked very effectively.
Been battling bud rot that's slowly growing. Setting up the tarp before every rain storm is a lot of work but I think it has prevented a lot of loss. It was definitely the little green worms that got to these gals. Chopping a little sooner than I'd like but having to be away for school and worsening weather leaves me little choice.
After finding a couple of unseen spots of mold while chopping I meticulously went through every single crevice of each nug from both plants and removed the few spots I found, this took about 10 hours straight (not including light trim and wash). Absolutely stoked with the results of this grow and so proud to have gotten both these girls all the way to the finish line!
