White Widow, first grow, 2x2

1/18/22 -All 10 seeds popped and I put them each in their own peat container, filled with 1:1 Peat moss and Vermiculite. Credit to Dr. Bugbee. Hopefully they all grow. I think I will eventually do 2-4 plants in the tent in 3 gal pots. I'll give one more plant to my wife, and one plant to use as a mother for future grows. 1/20/22 -Got my 2'x2'x5.3' grow tent fitted with the lights and fan. Lights are at top height at around 30% power to giving about 300 PPFD to the sproutlings on a 20 hour schedule (21.6 DLI). Is that too much light? 1/22/22 -Cheers! 7 of the 10 seeds have sprouted. Spraying the topsoil with water or using a small cup to pour some water in each one, about twice a day. Any and all criticism or suggestions greatly appreciated!

1/23/22, Day 1 -I will count today at first Day of Sprouting (Day 1). -9 of the 10 seeds sprouted, but the two new ones still have shell stuck to them. Noticed temps are averaging 75F - 88F with low humidity of 33-37%. 1/24/22, Day 2 -Took the shells off of the two new ones. The last one may still be coming up, I think I see it's white shoot in the soil. -Is today the first day of Veg as the sprouts are green and almost growing their second set of leaves? -I am leaning towards 4 plants topped 1-2 times depending on space. So I will have between 8-16 mains, which is 2-4 plants per sq/ft. That seems to be the max amount of mains people aim for per square foot. And many SOG setups seem to have 2-4 plants per square foot as well. -11:50pm: fully watered each seedling. Tap was reading .396 EC and run off was reading at .320-.360 EC. Does that mean the soil is sucking the nutrients from the tap water? 1/25/22, Day 3 -8:42am: tent was 71F with 50% RH. Wow a lot of humidity! Just from fully watering the pots. I should have soaked them this much on the first day in the pot. 1/26/22, Day 4 -humidifier came in the mail today -9:50am: 79F, 37% RH in tent, set humidifier for 60% RH outside of the grow tent but in the same room. -11:26am: It's not really raising humidity at all... -Discovered two of the seedlings didn't make it. The 9th one sprouted and then died. -I have one other sprout that isn't doing too well. -7:17pm: put humidifier in tent to see if it makes a difference still set at 60% RH. 2/27/22, Day 5 -they look a little happier today. -Calibrated my PH meter today and found out my tap is like 8.2 pH. The weak fertilizer soln is 7.15 pH and 270 ppm (.542 EC). -Watered today with weak fertilizer soln. 2/29/22, Day 7 -We have 8 seedlings. -Two of them have burned leaves but they still look alive. I will do my best to save them and see what happens. -One of the ones with burned leaves actually has grown the most even more than the healthy ones. What does this mean? -Haven't watered since 1/27. I will probably water before the day is done.

2/5/22, Day 14 -I've been putting Humidifier in the room the grow tent is in and it is keeping the humidity in the tent around 55% which is better than it has been. -Seedlings are doing well. I've been trying to water them less often and wait until they show a small sign of drooping. When I would water them before I would soak them and then they would have a day of slow growth. -The burned ones looks like they may survive! -The middle one has a skinny stem somehow; we'll see if it survives.

2/7/22, Day 16 -Watered the plants today. They are drooping. 2/10/22, Day 19 -320ppfd in tent -Made soil: 2:1:1 ratio of peat : vermiculite : perlite -Pre-wet the soil with about 1/4gal of 7.25pH, 270ppm/.540 EC weak fertilizer solution. -Filled 7 pots with the soil. -Threw away the center seedling as it died :( -I did not water the plants after potting them. 2/12/22, Day 21 -Each plant looks sort of yellow. -Watered each plant with about 8oz of solution: 7.25pH, 270ppm/.540 EC 2/13/22, Day 22 -Finally, 24 hours after watering, they are looking to be growing again and getting nice and green in the middle. -the first set of leaves are all getting yellow on these seedlings and will probably die. -After doing a bunch of research and observation on these little ladies, and I've concluded that these infernal peat pots are the culprit of my seedling problems. -The peat pots were acting like a wick and sucking water from the soil and the roots and releasing the water vapor into the dry, winter air. -But then you cannot keep water at the bottom of the pot because once the pot gets wet, you can see white mold patches all over it. They simply suck. -I will never use them again.

2/12/22, Day 21 -Each plant looks sort of yellow. -Watered each plant with about 8oz of solution: 7.25pH, 270ppm/.540 EC 2/13/22, Day 22 -Finally, 24 hours after watering, they are looking to be growing again and getting nice and green in the middle. -The first set of leaves are all getting yellow on these seedlings and will probably die. -After doing a bunch of research and observation on these little ladies, I've concluded that these infernal peat pots are the culprit of my seedling problems. -The peat pots were acting like a wick and sucking water from the soil and the roots and releasing the water vapor into the dry, winter air. -But then you cannot keep water at the bottom of the pot because once these peat pots get wet, you can see white mold patches all over it. They simply suck. -I will never use them again. 2/15/22, Day 24 -Watered each plant with 16oz of solution (7.25pH, 270ppm/.540 EC).

2/22/22, Day 31 -Plant soil still seems wet -I hope this soil will dry out quicker when the plants are larger -I have one plant that is browning in the leaves, almost looks like necrosis -Fed about 15oz of fertilized water (300 ppm, 7.2 pH) and runoff was: 310ppm, 5.7 pH. -Slurry of soil with distilled water: 4.9 pH -I'm glad the runoff is much closer to 6.0pH compared to 2/15/22 when the runoff was 4.5 pH -Watered two other ladies in the front with 15oz -Added fan into tent -Watered rest of plants with new solution: 411 PPM, 5.9pH. (1tsp of fert (1.6tsp ideal)) 2/23/22, Day 32 -Plants really responded to more water and more fertilizer. I think they want more nutes. -At this point I want to raise PPFD to 2/24/22, Day 33 -Raised lights from 50% to 100% -PPFD went from 350 to 550 (21.4 to 35.6 DLI) -66% increase in light intensity

2/27/22, Day 36 -Watered all pots with 8oz, 780PPM 5.6pH (3tsp Jack's, 1tsp calimagic) 3/2/22, Day 39 -Watered all pots with 16oz 6.0 pH 780-900PPM. -Topped all the plants to 3rd node and removed all growth stalks below that. -I topped a little late as some of them were at 6th node 3/3/22, Day 40 -Did some LST on biggest 2 plants

3/6/22, Day 43 -Watered all pots with 16oz 6.0 pH 780-900PPM, 3 tsp Jack, 1 tsp Cali magic 3/11/22, Day 48 -Picked the two best looking specimens, and repotted them into 2 gallon 100% Coarse Perlite Hempy pot setup. -Watered with 5.9pH water until drain hole for both of them.

3/15/22 -Watered and topped plants to 8 nodes, except for hempys. I'm going to let them recover for a couple days before I top them. Their water was empty and they aren't happy still from the transplant.

3/22/22 -Watered them today. 3/23/22 -Hempys are still looking yellow -Drained their res and refilled with 5 half solo cups of 700ppm 5.9pH solution (2 tsp/gal jacks) 3/24/2022 -Transplanted non hempy to 3 gallon fabric pot

3/29/2022 -Watered with 630ppm 6.0pH water, with splash of calmagic for hempys (watered them last) 3/31/2022 -Trimmed fabric potted one.

4/3/2022 -Watered hempy and fabric pots. -6.0pH tap water for fabric, runoff was 800ppm (tap is 200ppm). -Put 2 tsp Jacks for 660ppm 5.9pH solution for hempies. Two full solo cups each hempy. 4/7/2022 -Watered hempy and fabric pots. -6.0pH tap water for fabric, runoff was 600ppm (tap is 200ppm). -Put 2 tsp Jacks for 660ppm 5.9pH solution for hempies.

4/24/2022 -Watered fabric with 1gal 5ml Micro 10ml Bloom Lucas formula, and comes to 1000ppm, 6.0 pH, no pH down needed. 4/25/2022 -Flushed the Hempys with the hose (210PPM, 7.0pH) about three times each bucket. Then filled about half of res with 5/10ml Lucas. PPMs of runoff were 700s with 6.4pH 4/28/2022 - Day 18 Flower -Defoliated a bit today after reading it is good to do around Week 3 of Flower (we are Day 18 into Flower)

5/5/2022 -Watered today 5/7/2022 -Watered the hempys today Still using 10ml Florabloom and 5ml FloraMicro per gallon, which comes to 1000ppm 6.0 pH. They seem to be liking it
