Technique
31/07: Watering + feeding schedule is Mon/Wed/Sat I've found this lets the soil dry out on a predictable schedule, and also lets the plants tell me when they both need water. The Bio-Bloom looks to be stopping the Mn/Molybdenum deficiency, Acti-Vera seems to be stopping leaf miners as well, their paths are shorter and sites are reduced to none.
03/08: Defoliated due to the leaf miners, also good to lollipop/defoliate a bit for the buds to get more light since there were too many fan leaves shading flower sites.
04/08: Watered today, soil was very dry.
(Note: Flowers aren't really fattening up, nute issues show an issue with bloom micro/macronutrient deficiencies, next watering I'm upping the dosages to: 5.25ml/1500ml Acti-Vera, 4.25ml/1500ml Bio-Bloom and already upped Biodyne to 3ml/1500ml. Bio-Grow stays at 1.25ml/1500ml.
05/08: Watered again with the nutrients dialed up a lot more, hopefully this allows the buds to fatten up and finish since the GG XL is causing competition with the Grapefruit now...

Grow Questions
delta_420started grow question a year ago
Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...

could try watering little amounts more often.
If the whole plug is lifting out it seems like it is getting to dry before you water.
Good Luck!

White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else?
This started within the last 1-3 days.
The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine.
Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)

Looked at the leaves and did some research, either this is just a normal process where the plant tries to grow extra roots or it's mildew. Either way I think I'll dial down from 2 cups of water in the morning to just 1 once the soil has dried out today/tomorrow. Over/underwatering has possibly led to stem sagging + slow growth so next time I'm investing in Autopots or watering less often + small amounts...

Wow the girls are biiig! Good work! I love the pistil hairs! They are gonna be nice, fat and tasty! I'd love to see how the gorilla girl plays out, because i am thinking about growing some “sweet seeds"-beans next. 🇪🇦

@delta_420, Haha can relate to the little tracking laziness and the leap of faith for the beginning. But for me it turned out as such a fun and rewarding hobby (and nerve wrecking from time to time), i really love to grow, both as a grower and to grow some tasty buds. 😊
And i love to learn from the other growers here, so thank you very much for sharing! Good luck for a strong finish on this grow! Nothing beats the first smoke of your own homegrown buds!

@Herbie101, thanks! First time I've done a "proper" grow so to speak for med + personal use. Took a very expensive leap of faith but it's paying off. I've been a little bit lazy tracking metrics and temps etc since the battery died in my hygrometer but got it fixed. The GG XL is packing on the pistils and size too, outgrowing the Grapefruit. They both took to my n00b growing mistakes super well, lack of soil and nutes, over/underwatering but bounced back really well. I've started giving them both two extra sets of Acti-Vera and Bio-Bloom for flower and to get rid of the leaf miners but as she gets frosty leaves and the resin packs on pests etc don't survive long :) Out of curiousity, rubbing the leaves has this super sweet fruity smell, gg xl has this amazing earthy, gluey typical gorilla glue smell which is yum. Can't wait for harvest, the leaves on the GG XL are bigger than my hand, it's awesome seeing the indica-leaning pheno! :)
