Week 2 commenced 3/11...Day 8...if you are following my timeline! After watering yesterday, I decided to push a bit of soil around the stem for support, as my other plants got the same treatment (mild bending). I also added a top layer of pre mixed soil/perlite/coco (50/35/15) to all edges of the pots and top, as I did not like the coco drying out so severely between waterings. As I am not watering large amounts yet, this seemed like a decent way to retain moisture without disturbing the medium around the plant.
Mist water today, will give complete purge/absence of water day 9. Day 10 will water at "sunset" and go from there. Will update along the week. Day 8 is closing out with some strong new growth.
Day 10-started noticing yellowing veins and curling leaves on day 9. After deliberation, I went with it having an N deficiency. Decided to give a feed of 1/8 strength fox farm grow big this morning before sunrise (fed all plants same time) due to the roots growing into coco currently and having little to no nutrients. I gave them a very small dose, the plant is quite sturdy in my opinion, so hopefully this will give it a righteous kick forward and show signs of improvement. Continuing to mist the leaves every 5ish hours, and airflow is great within the closet. Will continue to monitor and will make an update end of week 2 if things go smooth.
Day 14- Things have been very good for this plant. Growing very nicely upwards with a thicker new stem. More leaf sites are appearing which is wonderful to see, as well as beautiful growth laterally on the first few leaves. One leaf in particular is missing the left tip (2 leaves, not 3)but regardless it's doing fine. Watered 350ml on day 13 AM, upping the silica to half strength and steady with 1/8 strength Grow Big. Will do a pure water flush when soil medium is dry next, aiming for the first run off water at 30%-50%. Hoping to start LST soon...the plant is just not ready yet. Maybe by next nutrient feeding...
Has anyone noticed a true difference in yields/health with an addition of a silica compound to the soil medium? Unsure if I want to try it on this grow, but am open to comments/recommendations.
Basically it sets your plant up to help increase overall harvest. Make sure to use a micro with it. And add bit at a time if making s mix as some nutes might gel together if used in excess.

@fast_buds_jessie, thanks for the comments! I'm looking forward to really tracking them during grow and having an awesome crop! I have a few other fast buds strains that I'm eager to grow too, once this harvest runs its course. Thanks again for the comment and helping hands. Stay tuned!
