D15.
The third week of veg starts, and all is well in the tent. She is 12 cm tall and 17 cm across so she is definitely out of the seedling stage. I turned up the light to read around 350 PPFD at canopy level, which translates to a DLI of 25. I also decreased the Inkbird controller to 75% RH (+/- 2%.)

D17.
There isn't much to report as I'm still waiting until she is big enough to start training. I adjusted the Inbird and dropped the humidity in the tent to 66% (+/- 2%.)
I also fed the worms yesterday with some leftover lettuce that I chopped up really fine and tucked under the straw mulch. Gotta keep my worm buddies happy and well-fed.

It's been five days since I put the alfalfa seeds in water; today, they had sprouted enough. I threw the sprouts into a blender with some water and blitzed everything into a slurry. I added humic acid at half-strength to the slurry and then gave her around 500 ml slurry @ pH 6.9. A bit higher than I would prefer, but good enough when you're lazy like me.
I also turned up the light to a DLI around 32.
I already notice a smell when I open the tent, even though we still are far from flower. I'm not sure if it's the Gorilla or the Purplematic, but based on my experience in growing CBD strains, my money is on the Purplematic girl.

We're at the end of the third week of veg, and everything is rocking along in the tent.
Today, I decided that she was old enough to be tied down, so I started the LST. She also got a fulvic acid foliar spray just before lights out.

Very nice 😊 I love picture 11 "D60. Gorilla left, Purplematic right"
could it be that the shape of the leaves look almost the same?
coincidentally through the same genetics?
or
could it be because of the light?
@Grow_with_Cookie, Thank you :) You're correct that the leaf shape is very similar, but they feel completely different. The Gorilla girl has soft leaves, while the Purplematic girl has very stiff leaves. I have never seen leaves this stiff, and they are even quite "scratchy" to the touch.
Nice Diary, very interesting to me seeing all your strategies and regiments. I didn't notice you had more grows up after the summer until today. Excellent! Excited to follow along and see how these ladies turn out.
