Not off to a good start here with the over stretching and now a broken seedling! We’ll have to see how the duct tape job holds up and the added fan wind to strengthen these ladies up.

I’m surprised these girls didn’t get shocked at all from transplant. And #2 that I broke has recovered 100%. Definitely a resilient strain so far! Will be adding some pics of pre-flower pistons soon!

Buds are starting to chunk up but not much more growth. Hoping to get these girls fatter - going to try giving them extra nutes this week.

Well #5 seems to still be really struggling - while #’s 2,3 and 4 seem to be stacking up decent sized colas. I’m starting to think these genetics might be bad because #5 has been growing super shitty. It’s still producing 3 set fan leafs you see mainly in the vegetation stage - not 4 weeks in. They’ve all been under the same growing conditions and nutrients. Also to be noted I went a little heavy on the nutes last feed so there is some yellowing on #4. Luckily I use organic nutes so wasn’t worried too much. I just want them to start stacking more!! We’ll have to wait and see !

First things first - I missed the last 3 weeks of pics and entries because life’s been a bit crazy. But I’m back and the girls have been doing OK. #5 is catching up being that it was the runt of litter from the start. But it could need another week but I don’t think the other 3 should go much longer. #4 likely got nutrient lockout from an overfeed early in the flower stage and the high heat environment my HID setup creates. 2&3 are lookin like the absolute dankness. Super dense and loaded with crystals. Really smells of sweet strawberry’s too. If anyone has any advice on when to start flushing would be helpful because it seems like there already starting to yellow and don’t want to make matters worse if I can. I’ve only used light organic bio biz nutes.

These ladies shot up so fast I didn’t have time to put them under my light so they stretched a bunch :( just gonna have to stake them up and hope the stocks get stronger!

It says to go light on the feed, hinting that heavy feeds won't improve growth. Post a question for someone more knowledgeable than me & get their opinion

They look to be weeks away from done 🤔 they look like they didn't get enough light. I'm not familiar with HID so I don't know why the 400w is not working especially autos on an 18 hour cycle. I'm sure they will finish up under the light but I don't know how long it will take especially the one think it was 5 it looks like it just started flowering. Is it possible the light is worn-out I don't know much about bulb lights but I remember hearing that they stop working after a while 🤔
