It's been over 6 years since my last grow. My brother finally baited me long enough and I took the plunge. Since I'm starting with bag seeds I threw about 9 random seeds in my germination dome and placed them under my aerogarden light whatever happens happen.

I honestly forgot how much of a demand and commitment growing place upon oneself. I guess setting up the tent and getting the temperature dialed in I forgot to take more pictures for Week 2.

Week 3 wasn't better at all, I thought I had more time and time wasn't on my side. My ph up and down, and the other fertilizers. 1 plant

This week wasn't too bad, all the plants responded well to the feeding. I started with 400ppms @5.5 to 6.5 ph this week. My tap water comes out no more than 40ppms @ 7.2ph max. I even see new growth on my smallest plant. Based on the roots it's time for 1 of the plants to get they final home but I'm not even ready yet.

Week 5 is the best Week so far, stopped being lazy and finally decided to transplant 1 of the plants to a 5 gallon bucket. The growth seem to be none stopped. My smallest plant became my favorite plant(I put her through a lot). The plant that got ph burned (9.5)🔥, was my favorite about week ago but seem to doing just fine now. I guess I was feel too good, topped and lst? Sure why not

Another week down and I must admit they are doing very WELL. I transplanted the LST plant into a 5 gallon bucket. I still cant believe it, last week I removed flower power..... now it look like way too much Flower Power? Time tells right? The first transplanted plant is LOVING the new home, based off the roots and new growth. Next week transplant the final plant into a 5 gallon bucket.

Week 7 was on auto pilot until I realized it was 1 more plant to transplant. Since I got to transplant(work), every plant went to the hair salon(LST, Defoli, Fiming). My first time and I must admit I regret it. 😅 my plants look naked, I felt bad so I added Kelp into the NUTE line up....... I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm doing it at 150mph.

Now for Wk8, even after all that DEFOLIATION and LST on Wk7 it don't look like it all. It took me 3 hours, to do all that work. I wanted to wait at least 2 weeks before another around of defoliation and lst but now it's every week 😪. Do I DARE say the other 2 plants are catching up to Garganchula? I will say I had 1 big 1 medium and 1 small. Now I got 1 large and 2 medium plants. I want 1 more month of VEG, to allow the other 2 plants to catch up but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to slow down Garganchula (big plant name). Let's see if WK9 Garganchula play nice and grow SLOWLY and allow her other siblings (didn't name them yet) to catch up. Garganchula 1300ppms 2 other plants 1700ppms each

Let me tell you about Week 9 😪........ Yup got me re thinking some of my prior choices, I really want to kick over the other 2 plants so I can make room for Garganchula. I admit I DONT KNOW what Im doing and its starting to show. I LOST control of my tent. They said LST and DEFOLIATE for proper maintenance? REASONS why I lost control now, I know when to admit DEFEAT and I'm defeated. All I do LST and DEFOLIATION (3hrs), and 1 week later, looks like I did NOTHING. 24 inchs wanted to flip to flower but also wanted 1 more month of VEG. Looks like a bigger tent or early flower, we shall see what the WIFE say🤫🤫🤫 I don't think 🤔 1 plant like 1700 ppms Burnt tips, funny coloration of fan leaves 🍃 NOT ALL but lower growth. I call SLIGHT nute burn 1550ppms here I come, I really don't know what im doing LMFAO.....
