JimboNorman Dropped germinated seed into solo cup with Purple Cow Organic Seed Starter mix. Think I added perlite and DynoMyco...can't remember

JimboNorman Moved from Solo cup to 5 Gal fabric pot and bigger tent with less humidity... 60% Fox Farms Ocean Forest 20% Perlite 20% EWC DynoMyco

JimboNorman Growth slowing down for some reason...could be the drop in humidity (hard to increase in the bigger tent) or the change in light schedule... 0.5 tbsp per gallon of 444 nutes 1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water

JimboNorman Having growth issues and what looks to be Cal/Mag deficiencies, which doesn't make sense at this point. Suspecting the PH is too low so will adjust to higher PH next week. Topped her regardless. 0.5 tbsp per gal of 444 1 tbsp of elemental for the Cal/Mag 1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water

JimboNorman Using a higher Ph in the water 6.7-6.8 and starting to see some improvement. The stem is super thin so something wasn't working right but fuck it I'm going to LST anyway 0.5 tbsp per gal of 444 1 tbsp of elemental for the Cal/Mag 1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water

JimboNorman PH seemed to be the issue. Things are turning and she's bushing out. 0.5 tbsp per gallon of 444 nutes 1 tbsp of elemental for the Cal/Mag 1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water

JimboNorman Flipped to 12/12 this week 0.5 tbsp per gallon of 484 nutes 1 tbsp of elemental for the Cal/Mag 1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water

JimboNorman Still bushing out and making sure the canopy is even. Think I'm starting to see flowering begin...it's been two weeks since I flipped the lights so should be any day now... 2.5 tbsp of 484 2 tbsp of elemental for the Cal/Mag 1 tbsp per gal of Organic Black Strap Molasses in water

JimboNorman Nothing to report. Growing steady.

JimboNorman starting to stretch out. so far so good

JimboNorman Set up the SCROG this week. Starting to notice small indications of phosphorus deficiency so might add a little Sea Bird Guano to the mix...

JimboNorman Update - it's likely this one is experiencing predominantly Phosphorous deficiencies due to excess Calcium and Magnesium. I've determined that I've been giving all 4 plants in this run too much Cal/Mag and it's expressing itself in different ways with each plant. Too much Cal/Mag locks out P and K, among other micro nutrients, but the P deficiency is becoming the most obvious symptom in the Dougs Varin. So this week I've been flushing trying to bring the PPM down to a normal level, which I basically achieved today. Will bring back the 4-8-4 and Molasses next watering at normal levels and hope to finish her up strong.

JimboNorman Not much to report. Reintroduced 4-8-4 now that PPM have stabilized.

JimboNorman Just water this week

JimboNorman Had to go away on vacation this week so not much to report. Set her up with some watering spikes and they seemed to do alright...

JimboNorman Doing my best to move colas outward slowly each day. Got a lot of action happening in the middle and trying to get all buds the light they need.

JimboNorman Starting to flush. laying off the nutes
