Three days after I placed the seed into the soil, humidity was low at the time (around 35-40) because I didn’t have a humidifier yet…turned out fine.

Only adding water at a Ph of between 5.5 and 7…still No extra nutrients…switched placement of the plants because the Big Bang was starting to cone and figured the mist from the humidifier was giving too much extra moisture (Not sure how much sense that makes but it healed after the move so I guess🤷‍♂️🏾) Other than that everything was fine.

Still keeping it organic for this first run, nothing but water and light…the big bang is looking like it’ll be short and bushy hopefully it isn’t stunted.

Did a little defoliation on both plants to free up some bud sites and keep the air flowing, also half snapped a one of the branches on the Big Bang flower during last LST but tied it back together and let it heal itself, it turned out fine. Getting some tiger bloom and grow big in on Monday so I’ll start giving them some nutrients to help them out a bit.

The plants have really just been doing their own thing, thought I would have some tiger bloom in by this week but things haven’t been going to plan.

Things have been going along smooth, though I can’t shake the feeling that the Big Bang is having some issues that I’m not knowledgeable enough yet to put a finger on…maybe I’m trippin🤷‍♂️🏾 Other than that the Crystal Candy’s smell is getting much stronger and really starting produce a nice amount of trichomes, the Big Bang also has a few but probably need a little more time. 7/31 UPDATE: The Big Bang is in pretty bad shape, pretty fucked up to get this far but hey🤷‍♂️🏾…is there any chance of her springing back to life and actually being of quality?? I’ll give it one more week.

So I posted a update on the previous week of how the Big Bang wasn’t looking so good…Well She really continued to show signs of distress as time went on, the plant wasn’t drinking anymore, was yellowing and dropping leaves. I repotted it yesterday because when stuck my finger in😉 I got a pretty bad Oder from her, the roots didn’t look too bad but I’m no gardener (yet) I rinse them down and placed her in some fresh soil with a little extra earthworm castings mixed in. I was thinking about chopping her and just using it for a tea or something but I can’t bring myself to do it, especially since I know there isn’t any any pest or infection(because it hasn’t effected the crystal candy which it is in every close proximity to)🤷‍♂️🏾 I’m rambling now but if anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears…Well eyes, and open to criticism. My Crystal Candy Though😮‍💨😍

So after further review I found that the Big Bang is an auto that REQUIRES a dark period throughout its flowering stage and doesn’t do well under 24 hours of light🤦‍♂️🏾She lost almost every leaf she had but her branches are still strong and she’s trying to survive. I’m not too worried about it, I can always give it another run. As far as the crystal candy I’m contemplating on cutting a single branch now while the terpenes are cloudy and then cutting the rest when Amber just to experience the difference in high first hand.
