Started a new grow with the help of Medic Grow! We decided to team up to showcase how their Mini Sun-2 150W does in the 2x2. So a huge thank you to them.
I started this run last Tuesday by dropping the seeds in water. I let them soak for 24 hours and put them right in the soil. The soil is a three way mix of Fox Farms coco, locally resourced worm castings, and Purple Cow soil.
On Wednesday I received the light from Medic Grow. Opening the box, it was tightly secured. Didn't look like anything was damaged due to travel. There was a mark on my timer display but I assume that occured during assembly. They gave some sweet sticker that's quiet large to hang somewhere.
The package has all the gear you need to hang the light. The light's power cord has this adapter to fit household outlets. Overall its a very solid fixture and feels sturdy when you hold it. After setting it up in the tent, I set the timer to 18 hours and 40% power. It comes with it's own timer system so if you don't have a timer, you don't need one.

A good first week from all the girls overall. They continue to develop as planned. They got watered with the spray bottle until Friday when they got a real watering.
This girl is doing well. Right on track for any plant.

A great second week here as the girls stabilize. They got watered two times this week. All good growth. 📈
This girl is doing real well and developing properly.

SO, the girls were doing so well into their second week I decided to do the unthinkable... I topped autos! 😳😳🤯🤯
I figured they were doing so well and hadn't entered flower yet; let's do our best to keep them small and get multiple good buds instead of just one. This will also give me the best opportunity to lst them down using ties. Stayed tuned for that!
This girl is doing okay, looking scraggly compared to the rest. I'm hoping she'll spread out once trained.
Dimmed to 40% but increased it today to 60%

This was a quiet week. The girls were recovering from their topping but were also flipping into flower. They have been getting water every two days and that seems to be an issue so I bought an auto watering drip system to install next week.
The one I was most excited for this run has done very poorly since getting topped. That's depressing since the girls buds are already purple. Wanted to see how she grows but really might have stunted this one. Only time will tell.

This was a week. The drama at the beginning was one of the fans falling down onto my gorilla cookies. It snapped a branch off really bad but the girl hung onto it by threads. I duct taped her up and somehow took. 😎😢
I defoliated and did a little lst on a couple of the girls. Nothing major. Also increased the light to 80% now. I think I'll stay there until late flower when I switch to 12/12.
I also added blocks to a couple of the girls to make the canopy level. That put the light at 15" as recommended by Medic Grow.
Purple Lemonade is slowly making a comeback. I will say, even though the buds are small and the plant has struggled, the smell is already there. Which excites me. The lemonade smell is definitely there.

A more difficult week. I've been battling the water consumption on two of the girls. I ordered and hooked up the Blumats auto watering system. I followed the instructions to a T but they don't work on those settings for this type of plant. They must be recommending for succulents cause the girls dried out right away with the settings. So I've been slowing dialing it in the get the proper amount to release.
This girl is doing fine with the water. Prolly because she was stunted and doesn't need as much. Getting bigger

Everything went well over vacation! The girls are doing okay overall. They needed bigger pots and it's starting to show overall. Another reason not to use autos cause I can't lollipop. But the watering process is going well.
The purple lemonade is hard to judge due to the colors. She's short and stout. She's doing okay but hopefully starts to look better. I'm considering using synthetic nutrients in this grow to start giving for power.

Another good week come and gone. A couple of the girls needed nutrients so I add some general hydroponics blend into those that needed them. Didn't seem to make much difference yet. But they are getting into late flower.
The purple lemonade, without a doubt, has the best smells out of the crew. Actually lemonade smelling. Plus the color makes this worth exploring more. I'm not a fan of autos but I might do her again 😂

Another good week generally speaking. The girls are drinking a lot but nothing crazy. Things are wrapping up here in this tent shortly.
This girl is done! Looking at the trichomes she's already amber on the buds. I can't believe how quick that was! Really impressed with the smell too. Will look to run this in the future if I need to run an auto. As long as the smoke comes out good that is

This was the best smelling girl out of the crew. Happy with that. The size of the buds are good considering the plant size and total time of the plant. Will dry for 10-14 days then cure for a month before trying them out.
