Classics & Kush

Welcome comrades to the 3rd week of vegetation. I hope you are all happy and healthy and that your respective governments are not too corrupt/draconian/incompetant [delete as appropriate]. This week growth has really exploded, instead of a rambling paragraph, here's some thoughts on each plant: - OG Kush; much taller than her sisters, also has recently started demonstrating drooping leaves. This started just before their last water so I thought she was thirsty, but watering did not resolve. - White Widow; I love her chunky leaves, it's a real novelty for my garden to have such indica dominant leaves. The purple underleaf remains, but at this point I think it is natural and not an issue. - Northern Lights; short. Really short. Which was unexpected given all the marketing around this strain says things like "an indica that grows like a sativa!". - Critical kush; very vigourous, thick felty-feeling fan leaves. Impressive. - Peyote critical; like critical kush, but turned up to 11. - Dos si dos #33; the white speckling is steadily disappearing. I think the stronger compost is allowing for proper production of chlorophyll. The plants have started to emit that mild marijuanan smell they do during veg and I am anticipating another 2-3 weeks of veg before I switch to flower. Lights are now at ~40% power and no feed has yet been given, I expect to start feeding in another week or two. We're at the time of year where I need to give my bottles of water a warm bath to stop cold-shocking my plants every time I water them which adds quite a bit of time to the entire operation. Plant Magic bio-silicon was applied again as a foiler feed once this week at lights out. Unfortunately it seems some of those droplets did not evaporate in time and caused some burns. These 3 weeks have also removed any vestigates of doubt I had about my lights not being as good as they could be. When I was looking to get LEDs I did a lot of research and reading and I found these Migro lights and they seemed too good to be true at the price they were sold at. I was a little bit skeptical, but was persueded by other positive reviews. My previous two grows I thought something somewhere was under-performing. Was it the lights? No, it was me. These lights are excellent. As I consider buying some drip trays I have realized that if I do indeed get individual drip trays I probably won't be able to have each plant sitting on the heat mats, which could cause low temperature issues. I'm still considering how I want to handle this; add more heating, risk the cold or just ignore it and keep them all packed close together. The best choice is to add more heating, but that also involves the most effort... Thanks for reading my friends, -WLK
