Without question, I overwatered both of these ladies way too early in the seedling stage and completely stunted their growth. Both are still only about six inches tall and I'm concerned if they'll even get tall enough to provide a satisfactory yield. I've decided to push forward and get these gals to harvest anyway. Jane's showing pistils already so she's essentially at preflower; I allowed her medium to dry out so she got fed 1/4 gallon ph water plus a nitro tea. Joan will get a nitro tea tonight but no water added as her medium still seems pretty damp. My hope is that a tea for each of these girls will help them burst some growth before flower.
Performed a hefty feeding last night. Humidity in the tent has been higher than usual and seems to have a tendency to climb. Hoping itโs just been the rainy weather and that it wonโt be as bad come flower time.
I wanted to add from this morning's update that the smell is getting stronger, already quite pungent somewhat 'skunky' smell when entering tent. Stem rub smells are much more complex, each pheno taking on different properties. I'll speak more of the scent particularities later when we're hitting flower.
@Lemonhazelover, Thank you for commenting! I'm very proud of them and though I still have some learning to do, they have responded very well to my nurture ๐
Small update: both plants have been chopped, one has completed dry and was just trimmed last night. Jane was over-dry for sure, likely even started drying in the pot before harvest but this is the result of only having one tent to dry with; having to chop Jane late and Joan early. Will post harvest update once Joan is trimmed and weighed ๐
Wanted to add a couple notes: THE SMELLS omg they're amazing. When entering the tent, you get punched with the skunkiness of this lineage; getting closer and smelling Jane's flowers reveals gassy citrus candy, imagine orange Skittles with fumes ๐
Loupe arrived so I can do less invasive trichome checks. May not be any trichome pics next week but expect extra the following week as harvest will likely be very near.
