Fritter, Skywalker, Lemon Biscotti

mcelligrow All 3 plants are looking healthy and happy, was surprised how fast they germinated and now they're shooting up fast enough to see a difference from before work to after work so I'm very pleased with them 😁 I'll be keeping a second tube heater in my space to maintain the temperature for another week until they're bigger. I'm buying a small fan later to go in there so don't want to be lowering the temperature and introducing a fan in the same period while they're still babies. Took my camera out of there cause I just found myself checking on them all day at work staring at the same image like somethings about to happen 😂 Saw a small gnat fly thing with blueish wings was tiny so I smushed it, dunno how on earth they spawn from nowhere, will keep an eye out hopefully it was just the one but I doubt it 🙄 Not much to do for the next couple of weeks til I start the nutrients, will start the LST when they're ready and just continue to check on them every 5 minutes 👍

mcelligrow It's been a good week of growth and I feel like my setup is finally settled and clear so all I have to do is water them and begin a bit of low stress training when they can reach the edge of the pot 😊 I've not seen any movement in my intense staring sessions looking for little bastard thrips to appear but it seems clear 🤔 I've got some diatomaceous earth coming tomorrow so I'll give it a sprinkle as a precaution incase they've set up a spy network underground 🧐 That's all for now anyway not really any problems just beautiful little plants growing nicely 😁 Update Got my diatomaceous earth yesterday, pro tip don't use a spoon use a salt shaker or something similar, another tip turn your oscillating fan off. It's a bit messy but I'd rather that than see a load of bugs in a few days while they've been plotting a rebellion and destroy my babies 😢 very messy Another tip Being a smoker you may forget the simple things, for instance opening the window when it's cold to let fresh air in doesn't really help a plant because they breathe carbon dioxide

mcelligrow Lovely bit of growth last week 👌 they looked a bit stunted for a day but then I remembered to water them and increased their nutrients which sorted them out beautifully 🌿 Lemon Biscotti is the clear monster out of the three, has been since the start I did start to worry that I'd accidentally got the photoperiod version of the strain but she's just a beast 💪 Skywalker OG and Apple Fritter are about even with the Apple Fritter coming in slightly behind and these two really don't like a foliar spray, they start drooping immediately so we shall see how they get on they are pretty much as tall as the Lemon Biscotti so I'm sure they'll catch up 🌱 Just did my first bit of low stress training and I can confirm it was highly stressful for me 😢 feel like a monster but I know it'll be for the best in the end, poor little things were so happy now I've come along and mutilated them 😅🌿 25/10 Lst is going well, got some more soft tie wire today so pulled away any shoots to let the light shine through to the little offshoots 🌱 they're looking a bit sad currently but I'm hoping they'll recover now that I promised not to hurt them anymore for a while 26/10 Really wanted to find pictures from my old grow but it seemed like it didn't save them anywhere and I thought that the diaries had been deleted from my account, I've since remembered that I used a different email address for another account and found my diaries, so for my peace of mind I'll be moving this diary over to that account so they're all together 😊 thank you for checking out this diary if you're interested in seeing further updates or want to look at my old grows my account link is https://growdiaries.com/grower/MrGreen92.
