This week has been a bit of a difficult one due to family commitments etc, not so much in terms of keeping on top of the garden, but more with keeping up to date with the documentation, all in all the plants still seem to be doing very well. One or two issues are starting to creep in however, and as always, any help or advice from those more knowledgable and experienced would certainly be gratefully received, with this being my first grow. Since the start of the grow these plants have been getting watered every four days on average, and the amount has been increasing each time. The last time I watered, which was day 16, I had a small amount of run off, maybe about 50ml per plant, from two of the plants that stuck around for about 20 minutes so I tipped it out the tray. When I watered again this week I noticed that about five minutes later there was quite a lot of run off on all the plants I am growing in the living soil. Unfortunately, where as as I have been sitting with the plants for a while after watering them, this time I had to dash out as I was already running late. Upon my return about two or three hours later I noticed there was still a lot of run off. Not ideal I thought, but at least it gives me the chance to do a ph check of the run off. The plants were watered at 6.2, and the run off, which was approx. 100ml per plants was also 6.2. I have six plants growing currently, all in five gallon pots, three of them are three weeks old, the other three around two weeks, and I watered 15 litres. In future I will leave more time between watering initially and then assessing whether Ive wet the medium right through and ensure that I tip any run off away before I leave. After sorting out the overwatering mess, I performed my first attempt of low stress training on the three older Bruce Banners. Didn't do much at all, just an anchor on their stems on one side and bent them over from their tallest points. They responded very well to this and after an hour you wouldn't hardly tell. Unfortunately, when I looked in on them just after lights on yesterday, which was day 21, there are a few little splatters of what looked like gold paint at the time, but teems to be turning lighter over time, on just one or two leaves per plant in most of the plants growing in the living soil. One for the plants, a twelve day old Wedding Cheesecake by Fastbuds is showing some more obvious and concerning signs of deficiency. I have re-calibrated my PH Pen, which is from Bluelab, and it was saying it was 0.2 out, but that would have made the water 6.4 instead of 6.2 so not quite sure what is going on there. I have included images of all the plants in the grow in hope that someone may read this and may be able to offer advice. The smallest of these four Bruce Banners, the one that took 10 days to break the surface from having been planted as a seed directly into the soil is still doing ok too. She is quite small, and the two Wedding Cheesecakes I'm growing have shot up past her but she actually looks a fairly healthy plant now. When I started this grow there were supposed to be five Bruce Banners all the same age, but it hasn't worked out like that and so I now have three two week old seedlings and three, three week old veg plants all in five gallon fabric pots, which, down to my complete lack of experience is something which has been on my mind a lot in regard to the different environmental needs of the plants at the different stages, and at the forefront of that has been the lighting. I began the grow with my Spiderfarmer SF4000 set at 200w as per Mr Canucks Grow Weed Easy Autoflowers series which I am using as my go to. I did however notice that one of the seedlings at around seven days old, the one growing in coco coir, which due to a different shaped, taller five gallon pot was about two inches nearer the light, was noticeably bigger. Therefor I decided to turn the lights up to 300w and the plants seemed to like it. Yesterday, which was day 21 for the larger plants, I repeated this and took the lights up to 375w and turned on all my fans. Up til this point I have been running a 4 inch intake fan, and a 6 inch clip on fan at canopy level, adding an 8 inch oscillating fan earlier in the week, also at canopy level. As I had ramped the lights up, I decided to turn my two 40w fans on. This has maintained the temperature and humidity as it was before adding the extra light, and again, when I checked before lights out the plants were looking happy. I also performed some further LST on the three larger plants, as I saw the opportunity to tie down a few more branches, and did some further leaf tucking. The leaf tucking seems a little bit futile at the moment however, because I was finding that by the time I'd tucked on all three, the first plant had at least half untucked herself again, so may need them to get a bit bigger. Lastly, there have been another couple of new additions to the garden this week as I strive to get control over the environment. Following on from last weeks addition of a dehumidifier, this week has seen an 80w tubular heater by dimplex put in there which has been keeping the temps bang on 27c day and 22c at night when running flat out and was very reasonable priced at £25. It is still very wintery here and this heater is certainly more efficient than having my central heating blasted right up. Secondly, at my third attempt at trying to buy an oscillating fan I actually succeeded. Initially the error being mine, not thinking to check if the fan that was recommended to me oscillated, I then did an amazon search for oscillating fan and bought a very highly recommended one to find out upon arrival that that didn't oscillate either. Therefore I had three excellent fans in the garden but none of them oscillated and I wanted a fan that oscillated god damn it! So finally, at the third attempt, I have a 20w Secret Jardin Oscillating Monkey Clip Fan in the garden, which also seems to be a very good fan. Unfortunately I have found it to be louder than everything else in the grow setup combined. Nether the less, I am sure it will get me through this grow and then hopefully those new AC Infinity fans will be out that I saw on Mr Growit's YouTube Chanel and I'll give one of those a try. If you would like to check out my other grow diaries, I have the two Wedding Cheesecakes growing, one in living soil, and one in Coco Coir and the results so far have been interesting to say the least. Thanks for taking the time to read this and please feel free to comment and advise as any help is very welcome

@Ganja4Show, cheers bud. The man is a rascal. Since I discovered his YouTube channel I have boxed off 5x5 foot of my living room behind a secret sliding bookcase door, which contains my 4x4 grow tent set up, and he's got me more excited about growing it than smoking it lol. Thanks for the well wishes, massively appreciated
