Amnesia 3 and Trainwreck are looking pretty good! Trainwreck is bending a little, so I'm going to check very closely whether it's stretching towards the light, or avoiding it. Soil is still nice and damp, I spray only the outsides of the cup and let it run down the sides of the soil so that the roots will have to find their way outwards. The inside of the cups nearest the soil stays pretty foggy with moisture while they're still young. I should probably lower the humidity next week to be low 60s, as opposed to high 60s so to prevent excess moisture in the soil from choking the roots. The tomatoes are grown in regular ol' potting soil that has the slow release nutrients. They'll probably be getting transplanted to something a little bigger here soon, and then placed outside once it warms up.

Seeing some growth day by day. Trainwreck started to bend sideways, and continued in that same direction no matter where the light was positioned, so I added a little more soil around the stem to hold it more upright. Humidity is staying in the 60s, temp in the mid 70s. Light set to 60% power at 20 inches from tops. Getting a lot of built up minerals from the humidifier on the fan, which winds up all over the tent and plants. Probably going to have to find something to do about that.

Transplanted Amnesia Haze 3 into its pre-moistened 3.5 gallon bucket with about a 60/40 mix of Fox Farm Ocean Forest and Happy Frog, respectively. Placed 20" under the lights at 60%. The second light is increasing the temp in the temps in the tent to 80F, so I'll be playing with the humidity and fan settings to dial things back in. Almost time to transplant Trainwreck as well.

Transplanted Trainwreck into a 3.5 gallon bucket. Added some leftover reflective material under the canopys of the plants to see what happens. Temps can push 80F during peak hours, so I've increased the humidity to 75% so that it will lower the temp to 75F. It's a pretty hot and humid environment in that tent. I've got 2 6" hurricane fans running, pointed indirectly near the plants. Will probably be pointing them towards the plants directly in the next couple of days to strengthen the stem.
Most likely you have an imbalance of either calcium or magnesium and this could be most likely be related to ph and uptake issues.
Other than that it's just natural aging process.
Hey there, I thought I'd poke around and check out your diary on Amnesia Haze Auto from Barney's Farm. I grew this same strain and did well with it. Good luck and I'll continue to check in on your progress. Have fun!
Dope diary! Clawing can come from over watering as well, not sure if I seen you mention it in your notes. I had a lot of these same issues in my first tent grow but good luck come harvest! The dry trim and cure is gruelingggg
Congratulations on getting into growing Cannabis. Yeah you never wanna use testing strips. You can get cheap PH / PPM meter combos off of amazon. I invite you to come check out our tutorial series here on grow diaries as well in video form on our youtube page, Which you can find off of our main grow diaries profile. We cover the day to day step by step all the way from sprouting seed to harvesting, Drying, Curing & trimming. Come check us out I look forward to seeing you over there and hearing your feedback!
