Sour Diesel Auto- MSNL Seeds- First Grow

1/4/22: -Plant 1 is still growing along like a genetic beast! Plant 2 is straying FAR behind. Plant 3 is improving once again. -Both plants 2 and 3 seem to be about a week or two behind Plant 1 in regards to flowering. They are just now beginning to show their first hairs. -Despite all 3 seeds being from the same vendor, the three seeds continue to grow quite differently and express completely different genetics. -If I were to draw a quick hypothesis, it would be that fertilization rates of the Worm Castings + 4-4-4 + 4-8-4 fertilizers I originally mixed into the medium were a little too much to handle for Plant 2. Plant 3 adapted as it grew, but plant 2 just doesn't seem to be catching up. It must still be suffering from nutrient lockout despite 2 flushes, with both runoff tests showing positive results. -Going to avoid any defoliation and LST for this week, unless completely necessary. Want to try and get the plants a bit taller and bushier, just to get more general photosynthesis/growth going as the flowering phase picks up. 1/8/22: -All plants seem to be doing well at this point. Only light LST to keep the canopies even. Fed with CalMag, Big Bloom, Great White. -Resumed 20 on - 4 off light schedule. Noticed an IMMEDIATE improvement in all plant sizes within 4 hours of having the lights back on. Seemingly, having the lights off for 4 hours did wonders for their height and budding. 1/9/22: -Despite not wanting to do much LST or defoliation, due to the plants lack of general height, a lot more defoliation and LST have been done. -Did not use any Tiger Bloom during last feeding.
