Nervous and excited as it's my first grow. 1700hrs on the 1st I put them both in separate glasses and used bottled/spring water. PH was over 7.3 so I Ph'd it down to 6.4/5. Both have sunk to bottom of glasses by morning. All good so far. Still deciding whether to go paper towel next or wait and go straight into coco coir. Bit of a trial run about to go down 🤣. I feel like even with all the best equipment in the world, without some sound knowledge and some commitment and dedication youl still pull a shitty grow. Wish me luck..... Quick update! Once they dropped I decided to put them in their coco perlite mix, was advised by a gro shop dude to pop them in the mix now that they've dropped in a glass of water he said they'll be sweet 🤞🙏. Please dude 🤣🤣🤣🤣. He also said to get some canna A+B put through the mix beforehand as coco got no nutes and itl do the seedlings good. So I've gone on his advice but minimal amounts. Popped about 8ml of both in 2l of tap water, could have been 5,6, or 7ml aswell tbf only by eye. So got home and sorted that. Soil seems moist enough but not soaked. Now there potted I'm just hoping and praying for some good old smoke🤞🤞🤞🤟👊👊. Il keep the updates coming. Any feedback always welcome I'm not a dick. Don't be a dick either. Peace!..... Update.... they broke soil on the 5th. So yeah both good seeds. Checked them at lunch time, both have first leaves now aswell and look healthy. Lights on baby let's play!

Started the veg week of my diary as they are both fully fledged seedlings now. 2 tiny, tiny fans leaves on both plants. Broke soil on the 5th. Growing currently seems rapid! Light is 18/6. Gave the soil about 100-200 ml of water on the PM of the 5th will monitor tonight and see if more is required. No water on the 6th. Buzzing with how things are developing. 😀..... UPDATE 7th... GC looked to be stretching a bit, she seems to tall already WCOG looks OK. Lowered my light down to half the distance will monitor over next two days. Still looking in good shape I think. Soil was dry by afternoon of 7th so both had biggest feeds so far, roughly 150ml of pH 6.6 water each. Any feedback would be great Iv added pics of both and new light height, also I know its a wack light dont give me shit please, work with me ppl 🤣 🙏. Please let me know what you think. Update..... Deffo stretched GC a bit, lights even lower, now about 40-50 cm, also put two little DIY supports in to help her, and buried her stem a tiny bit aswell to strengthen her base. Pleased though as this is all pure learning for me for next time. Watered both again early hours ( 0100, 9th) was a warm day today and soil was just starting dry out on top. Gonna be warm again tomorrow. Gonna chillax on the water though now as soil seems good. Just wanted some in for the roots at lights off. WCOG seems OK so far not as tall which is good considering her mates issues 🤣 and leaves are slightly smaller but height is good. So far so good?

So I'm day 10 of breaking soil so decided to start week 2 of my Diary. That LED says 600W but I'd guess its not that great? What's the ideal height for this kinda light. To much different info online. GC did stretch but I think iv fixed her. I just feel like they are both a bit slow developing.... Day 11, after yesterdays concerns I Started using an app and have switched the flower switch on that unit as apparently its pretty wack and the red light will actually help the little autos along and without it on the apps suggest the light is wacker than wack. So I now Seem to have Par and intensity and DLI etc and all that stuff down now which I hope helps alot. Hopefully this will give them the light they was wanting cus my measurements by guess work were cleary causing some undesirable performance and issues. GC seems happier😏.

Day 15, 3rd week. After initial issues due to wack Chinese lighting, I think iv found its sweet spot. Both seemed a bit stunted, however are now both progressing. Introduced LST to GC just to get her heading towards the edge of that pot. Seems to be working! Gotta say I'm learning loads and responding well to them as they do give an awful lot of signs to look out for. Iv really enjoyed the experience. Feel like even with this wack light, next time round il do even better aswell. Also I panicked last week when I stretched GC that she wouldn't make it so popped my last seed. OG Kush Auto from fast buds. She sprouted on the 16. Doing much better than WCOG and GC at the same stage. Her flowerings meant to quicker too so she should tie in nicely with GC and WCOG.

So start of week 4. Had some issues last week. Brown tips on some of GCs leaves which started at the bottom, also some discolouration on WCOG leaves in general hopefully captured it in the pics. I know I overwatered them both a little bit. So I am hoping this is the only issue. Little OG is a week or 2 behind but seems to be doing OK. Should have another 280w led in the tent by next week hopefully sooner. Be a nice little boost in any case.... Day 22 can't wait to wack new light in. Seemed to have sorted my overwatering issue they seem to be bouncing back! Lovely subtle aroma coming from them now. Think it won't be long for flowers..... Day 23 first white pistils seen on GC so she's into pre flower. New light needs to hurry up man haha🙏. Smell is really kicking up now 😏..... Day 25 GC seems to be progressing well. Identified 5 pre flower sites already. Decided to try a bit more LST as there both beginning to get bushy so tryna move that foliage out the way for the light to get into all the important spots! 😁. Flushed GC and WCOG again today. Gonna up the nutes on GC next week. See how she goes. Its difficult because giving them 1L of water fails to produce any run off. But any more than that would overdo it due to their size and age etc. One of the drawbacks to planting in final pot is getting the watering right. I'm a beginner so I'm having to figure it out.

Start of a new week. Day 28. GC has developed what I've identified as a Calcium deficiency. Luckily I was starting her bloom nutes soon anyway so she'll get her calcium first thing tomorrow! Upped the nutes on GC and WCOG yesterday anyway. They both on 1/2 strength now anyhow so that should help. Little OG has started on 1/4 strength today also. Seem to have the watering down a bit more now aswell now that they are getting bigger, its a bit easier. New light will finally be in tent tomorrow and its needed. Really struggling to give OG adequate lighting of the blurple now and honestly I think with better lighting this grow would have been really really good for a first attempt. Hopefully itl still be good. New light will be a welcome boost. Bring on the week. I'm pretty happy with how they look. Sure they could be bigger an better but I'm learning and making best use of what I have available! ✌️.... Day 30 for GC and WCOG, Day 19 for Litttle OG. I feel like OG was struggling as I couldn't get them all under my 600w blurple led. So I got a new "full spectrum" led. Seems to have made huge improvements in a little over 24 hrs. Also it means Little OG has the full use of all the blurlple 600w to herself now pretty much. I think the new light has come just in a nick of time as I felt all of them were struggling a little bit and werent progressing as well as I knew they could. They were all so bunched together, trying to compete for lighting. They appear to have all spread out simultaneously with their new found space and adequate lighting. Turns out they really do talk to you and let you know when there happy. Been really busy this week so haven't been updating as much..... Day 31 and 19. Calcium deficiency has only affected a few leaves and new growth looks fine. Would be good to actually get some help on here as nobody's offered shit so far to any issues I've put on here. So with the help of Google, which is great and impossible all at once I'm just winging it really guys....Thanks! Been playing with both my lights and trying to work out where best to have it them and there fiddly to hang right etc with what I've got available and where to hang them both from without them clanging into each other and spinning each other out of position. Not as easy as it sounds btw. But happyish for now. Definitely would have pulled a pretty shitty grow with just the Lunar 600w she simply weren't big enough or powerful enough for 3 plants. Again all learning for me. New lights gonna turn this grow around just in time. 🙂

@THCanbisGrower, Do think putting 2l water with 8ml of Canna A+B then putting that through my coco mix will be ok. If you read my diary youl see in real time the stage I'm at. Because the seeds dropped in the glass of water after a few hours so after a gro dudes advice I popped them into this coco that Id ran the nutes through an now I'm panicking they won't pop or that il burn them? He told me to put some nutes in the soil though then just drop them in about 1cm to 2 deep and theyl be sweet, so I did haha! Hope it goes fine 😅.
