Planted 1 Runtz, 1 Grape Gushers, and 2 Alpen Gleaux seeds. Seeds are being grown in 50% Fox Farms Happy Frog and 50% Fox Farms Ocean Forest. I was thinking of changing the soil due to a few factors but decided against it (why change something that has worked for me for two grows?). I also mixed Diatomaceous Earth in the soil to combat any potential bug issues. I have one light on for warmth and the fans won't be turned on until the sprout is visible. For some reason we are dealing with mosquitos, I put some essential oils on a paper towel and draped in over the pots. Also 3D printed some name tags, thinking of 3D printing a holder for the oscillating fan. Seeds have been in the soil since 10/28/2022. 😁

Everything is going well so far. Runtz sprouted four days after Alpen Gleaux but now they are about the same size. An issue that I haven't run into before is that the Runtz has a couple of brown spots on the leaves and almost a bit of a curl and crunch apprearance. P.S. The essential oils wiped out the mosquito issue.

Start of week 2, day 14 I started the trio of nutrients. These are some of the poorest looking plants I have grown yet but I'm thinking they will start to get bushy and beautiful once I start LST. I'm thinking of trying topping this go around.

So sad because I snapped Runtz in half (11/22)while doing LST. This is the first time I've made that mistake and it was on my biggest plant. The other plants are just fine and are taking LST well. What's going on with Grape Gushers? I couldn't tell you.

Decided not to take Runtz out entirely and WOW it's bounced back more than I thought it would. Looks like Grape Gushers is bouncing back from whatever was going on and Alpen is looking good. There was some mild crispiness on the edges of two leaves on Alpen so I stopped using Cal-mag. We will see if this is the answer.
