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.

Saturday the seeds popped up and we are underway. Spraying the top of the soil with the water bottle to keep the topsoil moist.

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 okay. Worse growth for this girl cause she fell over after watering. This is the same one that struggled in the beginning to maintain its shape. If anything, she'll make for a smaller plant.
Dimmed to 40%

A great second week here as the girls stabilize. They got watered two times this week. All good growth. 📈
This girl made a great conback. She had fallen down due to overwatering and that stunted her growth. Now she came back up and should be back on track.

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!
The one that used to be last is coming in close third right now. She's upright and growing strong though so we'll see how she responds to the topping.
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.
This girl has the biggest comeback outta all of them. Has continued to do well and has responded very well to the topping. Excited for this one

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.
Strawberry Banana is growing ok. I added one row of blocks to raise her up. Lst tied one branch off to the side. I'm hoping she starts to pick up in the week. I see potential but we'll see.

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. Looking fairly well for an auto. Not much issue with watering but we'll see over time

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.
She's not doing hot! The strawberry is looking rough still. I'm considering using synthetic nutrients in this grow to start giving for power. And this girl is the reason for it.

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.
She's still holding on. Losing all her fan leaves, starting to lose sugar leaves. Not looking good. She needed more nutrients and gave them but didn't seem to help much. We'll see otherwise she's getting chopped first

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 hanging in there. I know she needed nutrients but didn't get much. I hope she does well as she finishes up. Not much longer!

Some slight smell but the buds are really small. That'sy fault with topping her, which, you shouldn't do on this cultivar. Used up a lot of nutrients too. Should have harvested earlier. Live and learn.
I should have pulled this girl earlier. Also, no topping. She is also a heavy feeder. A lot to go into this girl honestly. I wasn't prepared for it and it showed. Small nugs and small smells. Tough luck but live and learn

@Hologram, I figured they were growing very well with lots of growth so they should be able to handle it. Really should help reduce the stretch they're about to go through. We'll see!
Papanug would you like to do a almost side by side grow? I have strawberry banana, gorilla cookies, and orange sherbet. Legally I can satart 2. Let me know dude! If not good luck 👍🏻
@M_J_KllrAutoSystems, for sure! Pop those seeds asap then and I'll be only two weeks ahead. Then you can see on the future to know what's coming your way.
Interesting idea!
@M_J_KllrAutoSystems, haha nice! I'm a metal guy too but the papers I read said bird noises so I'm trying it out. Can't say it's made a difference at this point
yeah live and learn, 👍
But i will congratulate you with your harvest anyway, You have put al lot of love and energy in it so my feeling is that she is just gonna be a very awesome smoke!(yeah, i can be very annoyingly positive)😎 or so i hope..🙏
@Stormgrown, this model is good. Doesn't work with a timer cause it has a built in one. But the spread is good. The plants seem to like it. So approved for the 2x2.
