They seem good. There are some gnats floating around. May add some fly tape.
I have a small fan and have turned on the exhaust. That tent gets pretty humid. He plants like it but I don’t want the walls sweating.
Added my space header with thermostat - 75-78 and ~50% Rh.
I'm calling this the end of week 1 veg
We’re at the end of week 3 veg. Found earth worms in the cups. I guess they can stay. I also saw a small snail. I don’t think those are welcome guest so I’ll keep and eye out.
We’re not root bound yet but they have certainly outgrown the cups. The one is nearly a foot tall so it’s time to transplant. I think I’ll just move them to their final pot size
I topped earlier this week and began LST yesterday. Everything is shaping up nicely. I’ll top once more for 4 large colas each. I’m hoping for a forest in a month or so! 😎

The fish tank water seems to be a hit with tha ladies! I’m starting to think about some light top dressing as we head into week 7 veg. I’ll do the last topping in a week or so. We’re at 2 nodes for the first 4 (each plant).
I started with foxfarm, added worm castings and some 4-4-4. This is my first organic grow and I won’t go back to the big three nute solution. This is so much easier!
At this point, they seem to want water every day but I’m doing every other day. Don’t wanna push my luck!
Happy growing and thanks if you happen to stop by!

Node additions have slowed but overall growth continues strong and healthy.
Continuing to make minor adjustments to LST. Generally watering every other day. Added too dressing of 2-4-2 dr earths and worm castings. May try daily watering but less water. They seem to love the fish tank water.
Decided against the 3rd topping. There's plenty!

Wow! What a difference a week makes!
They’re happily taking water almost daily (depending on how much I saturate). So it’s been about 1 gallon a day. They love the fish tank water.
I added the net this week. I’m trying to level out the two tall ones so the canopy is a bit more uniform.
I’m thinking I’ll switch to 12/12 in the next week or so. I’m excited to see these ladies flower.
Water: 55 gallon fish tank with 4 small fish. So not a lot of poop but there's algae and I'm sure all kinds of good nuts. I ph it down with lemon juice to about 6.0. PPM is around 140. The plants seem to love it.
The ladies continue to thrive on the fish tank water. Tent is full and lights are all the way up. I can snug them a few inches more if I need to.
Baby buds are looking great! This is a really fun stage.
Heading into the home stretch. I’ll let them go as long as I can. However, the leave spotting has gotten really bad. I don’t think it’s fungus as it doesn’t wipe off on white paper. I’ve stopped the fish tank water and just ph-ing dechlorinated tap water.
Only 1 of my 4 clones has a root showing.
Started harvesting the lower limbs to sample and consolidate any remaining nutes.
The primary buds are turning well. Too large still need a week or so.
Everything pretty much went as planned. Not a huge yield but certainly plenty. I figure it will end up about 12 oz total. Way less than my first run but I did a lot different this time.
For potential transplant shock, you could trim off the lower leaf's on the plant that are yellow or trim them back a little, adding kelp to the watering after you transplant helps as well. Some reports of using a little bit of sugar have been reported, but is anecdotal and may cause acidity changes to the water, so I would pH test if you do that before watering. Personally I would stick with kelp, always has worked for me.
They look great, even if they are drooping, I'm sure they'll be okay. Good luck!
@FreeRangePessimist, hey thanks for this! Yea I ended up trimming the bad parts, let them dry out then resumes my watering regiment. I use ph’d water from my 55g fish tank. All my plants seem to love this stuff including my lime tree!
Getting ready to post this weeks progress. They’re all happy and healthy looking!!!
