I've been waiting for this for a while! Because the basement gets chilly, I was waiting to get over the cold part of the winter and can now get this next grow on the road. After the uncontrollable success of my last grow I've decided to only do one plant from the start, as well as add the hanging scrog frame.

Practice practice practice. Looking back on my old journals it's clear that this is my best week 2 yet (knock on wood). I rehung the one corner of the scrog net that was a little off center. It's almost like going on a half baked idea while fully baked you forget basics like measuring.

Still trying down to figure out a base level feeding program (which I know is somewhat hard strain to strain) but last run I took a leap of faith on going heavy with calmag that I dialled back a little this run. That was clearly a mistake, as I started showing a mobile nutrient deficiency that looks like a cal deficiency to me on the lower leaves as well as what looks like the start of a mag def on the rest of the plant so you know memes about calmag are memes for a reason. Roots still looking great tho, really excited for this one. Hoping I can start the training I have in mind soon.

So running into some kind of issue with the roots, been going back and forth with h202 and bennies trying to get this shit under control of lol. Also upgraded my airpump from a 900 gph to like a 3000 so we'll see.

Seem to have won the fight with the root slime for now, took a few cuttings that I will try to clone. Not much to update but chugging along.

So I don't know what's going on with the little brown bit in the roots, but it's not spreading and the rest of the roots are still growing in nice and think and look very healthy so I'm willing to accept a cease fire because nuking it with h2o2 has been making the fair lady upset. This plant has been growing very thick and short and I gave it a substantial defol to open up airflow and I raised the light a fair bit to encourage a little more vertical growth so I can start scrogging. Aiming to flip in a week or two.
