Round Two

Day 3 One girl is stretching a little but not badly. I piled up some topsoil around her stalk and spritzed her with distilled water. True leaves are out on both. Took the humidity domes off. Day 4 Looking good. Spritzing 3 times a day

Day 8 One of these girls has an issue. I think my misting has not provided enough hydration. Trying not to overwater. Today I watered to runoff with distilled water and a blended up aloe leaf. I would like to transplant no later than day 15. Hopefully she perks up by then. The other girl has a yellow coyledon. Since my last grow is wrapped, I dropped the light from 34" to 24" and decreased from 400w to 200w. Humidity set to 55%. We'll see. Day 10 Light is at 24" and 25% (100w). Medium was super dry, so I spritzed it. Both plants have the droop. It's more of a downward leaf curl, so I'm going with light stress. Lesson: one change at a time. I adjusted the light and switched up watering method at the same time so now I don't know which is causing the droop. Day 11 Added a heaping half tsp of SimPro Veg to 17oz of spring water to clear up Nitro deficiency. Each plant got roughly 4oz. The second plant is stunted with severe leaf curl from light stress. She's off to the side in indirect lighting. Hopefully the food will wake her up. Day 13 Transplanted the Sweet Cheese XL into the 3 gallon cloth pots instead of the 5 gallon buckets inadvertently, so these will stay inside while the others (Top Gun) go outside. Super soil has been cooking for a few weeks. Watered in with 17oz of rain water, 2ml of CalMag, and 2ml of Fish Sh!t. A bird pooped in my rain water, I still used it🤣. Looking forward to some rapid growth so I can top. If they don't take the transplant well, I won't top. On to week 3!💪🏾

Day 15 Starting the week with a great transplant rebound. Now I'm looking for these girls to explode! Climate is locked in 75° to 85° & 45% RH. Pushed the light to 30% at 24". Day 18 The girls have the tent to themselves now. Lights come on in an hour. Need a moisture meter. Trying to let them tell me when they're thirsty so I can water. Pots are still heavy, top soil is crusty dry. Day 19 Topped one girl, bent them both over. Lightly watered with 6.5PH Spring Water with Fish Sh!t and Microraza. Just enough to wet the top as the moisture meter indicates average moisture in the middle. Gave about 2oz each. Day 20 Responding well to the LST

Day 21 During lights out, I dialed up the light to 50% (200w). Day 26 They are hungry and not growing. The moisture meter has only moved from really wet to wet since transplant on day 13. This new medium is much different than coco-loco. I'm going to top dress when the lights come back on. These plants should be a lot bigger. I feel like ripping them up and starting over. Ready to try my hand at photo-periods. One mistake with autos and the whole grow is phuked! SMH😡 Both these plants together will probably yield half ounce. Not worth the electricity. If I don't see miraculous response to top dressing, they are going in the trash!

Day 30 These girls ain't doing squat. Not worth the electricity so I moved them outside to make room for my first run at some photos. The way this soil holds water, I may leave these for a few weeks. As it looks now, I prolly get a qtr oz from both combined. Lesson: Don't grow fast strains unless the technique is locked in. Prolly best to use synthetic nutes with fast strains also.

Day 40 I found out from Aurora Innovation that I should be top dressing once a week. So I top dressed today 2tbls of Terp Tea. Watered it in with 1gal of 6.5 spring water containing Azoz, Mykos, Fish Sh!t, and half tsp of SimPro Veg. Day 42 The plant I topped is lacking big time! The other one is doing better, but the hard transition outdoors has hurt yields for both. That and the bad soil choice. I'm learning to enjoy the ride, not even stressed. These plants provide more than most, growing is the new high!

Day 66 These plants are putting off some nice aromas but not super strong. Watered with plain water. Starting to fade. No amber trichomes yet. I probably harvest 10g total out of both plants.🤷‍♂️🏽

I made tons of mistakes in veg that turned this grow into a side show with low yield. I believe the use of the Terp Tea is what made the sweetness come out the way it did. After growing this indoor and outdoor and with what I learned I don't think I'd grow it again. Nothing wrong with it really, just tired of it.
