All three started at different times.
Plant 3 never germinated - the only casualty so far this year (barring the disabled Tropicana Cookies which seems to have survived being flattened and snapped in two places)
Plant 4 - I neglected this for a few days - hence the discolouration on the leaves. Just realised and watered it :) Hopefully it should recover okay.
A super hot week with moderate humidity during the night.
Interesting to compare all these plants to see how much genetics plays a roll in things. All plants are treated equally, but they're not all guaranteed to come out the same - with all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Poor plant 4 has been through hell to be honest - not sure how it's going to fare. It's had a steroid induced childhood pumped with the same nutrients I've been giving to the flowering plants.
Horrendous week - weather terrible, barely a moment of sunshine. A little bit in the morning but otherwise grey and overcast. Surprised at how well they are doing considering the circumstances. Temperatures are good - humidity is also probably quite pleasant for them in their little makeshift greenhouse.
Have moved half outside. Seem big enough not to get eaten by birds (famous last words)
Weather should pick up next week and I'm hoping to see a nice boost.
Well, the sun has finally come out to play and good weather has been restored.
Using the heat to dry up some of that rain water - the pots were water-logged for a good 2 - 3 days - now they're finally starting to feel a lot lighter.
Same nutrient schedule.
Surprised to see the cheap seeds (all the Linda grows) are doing so well - outperforming some of the big guns here. But time will tell :)
Another tough week - still experiencing good days up to the afternoon and then torrential downpours for the evening.
Temperatures are good and plants do seem okay in general - there's been a massive shift between week 4 and 5 - They're starting to really take shape now.
Added Bio Bizz Cal Mag to nutrients
Another week, another downpour.
Mostly stable weather - but now it's climbing rapidly with temps expected to exceed the 30s this weekend. So it's a race against time at this point - and this is why it's best to plant autos late April in this zone.
I'm not sure, but I think I'm discovering the joys of cal mag this year. Never used it before - and just adding 1ml per litre - and using once a week. But is this the magic nectar that makes plants super fat? Either that or the regular sprays of Fish Mix on the leaves every evening. But I'm leaning towards the cal mag. Something is certainly different this year - yields are looking like they'll be a lot higher across the board :)

At 9 weeks from seed I'm now frantically trying to figure out when to harvest - I use a magnifying glass with 50x zoom (or something like that) - Trichomes are generally cloudy, some clear and just a hint of brown. So, certainly another week for most. This is always the most difficult part for me.
