It's been hell with these girls, as I really have been nervous this entire grow time, but it's my first grow. So far, they're not dead, which means I'm on the right path, right?
Because it was their first feeding with Fox Farms products versus the ferti-lome fish emulsion (5-1-1) and ferti-lome all purpose plant water soluble plant food (20-20-20), I decided to dillute what I would be feeding them.
Fed them with the following:
Fox Farms Big Bloom (1.5 tsp)
Fox Farms Grow Big (1.5 tsp)
dilluted in 52 fl oz (1.6 QT) water and fed.
I plan to feed them every 2-3 days and began with Week 4 of the Fox Farms schedule for feeding them. I'm hoping that by giving them that 1.6 QT every 2-3 days versus that one gallon all at one time it will allow gentle growing.
Girl #1 (the bigger of the two) has shallow roots that I need to stabilize. Currently stabilized with a cut off bamboo skewer, but she's real susceptiable to being blown over by the wind. Granted, she has a spacious leaf pattern compared to her sister, whose leaves are very tight and bunched together.
Girl #2 is also stabilized with a bamboo skewer, but her roots are deeper.
The both show some wilting, which I hope will change after today. Upped their lighting on my light to 75%, which had been at 50% before.
Confirmed with myself that I need to be much more meticulous with the days and dates as well.
