12/16/2023 - Watered both with 32 ounces of water. PE is looking a little droopy and I am not sure why yet. Started after the last watering which is why I let things go another day to see if maybe I had overwatered her the last few times. She also has a bit of yellowing on the lower leaves. So think I need to start veg nutes, which I will do next watering. 12/19/2023 - Watered both with 32 ounces of waters with nutes. PE still looking droopy. Just keeping an eye on that. Also has some yellowing, so am hoping the nutes help. 12/20/2023 - Think PE was drooping due to light stress. She is looking much better today. I raised the light about two/three inches yesterday after watering. I also topped both plants today above the 6th node.

12/29/23 - They were both pretty limp and dry today. I knew that was going to happen and expected it. Watered both with 32 ounces of water with calmag. May jump the watering up to 64 ounces in the next week or two. 1/1/24 - Watered both with 32 ounces of water with nutes. 1/4/24 - Watered both with 32 ounces of water with calmag only. Next watering will be 64 ounces into each.

1/7/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with nutes. I am also going to increase the nute mixture this week to see if I can address that yellowing. I had been doing half of the recommended but think I need more. 1/10/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with calmag. Did not get a chance to check the pH runoff because I am under a time crunch this morning and do not have time for that. Will get that on Saturday when I water again. But you can see they are very much more perky after increasing the water amount to 64 ounces. Also rotated their locations. so PE is on the left, DP on the right. Before it was DP on the left, PE on the right. 1/11/24 - Did some LST today on the lower branches to spread them out a bit and make some room inside. They are both very dense inside and some of the fan leaves are huge! Will be doing some more over the next week or so as they grow a bit more.

1/12/24 - Humidity has been terribly low the past few days, so they are drying out very quickly. Watered today with 64 ounces of water with nutes. Also spent a little time trimming up a few of the dead leaves that were buried under the canopy in each. 1/14/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with calmag only. 1/16/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with nutes. Will be moving to 12/12 and flowering starting on 1/20. 1/18/24 -Watered both with 64 ounces of water with just calmag.

1/20/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with nutes. Day 1, Week 1 of flower. Lighting cycle moved to 12/12 1/22/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with calmag only. Running the lights at 12/12 overnight from 5 pm to 5 am. so I have changed from watering in the mornings to water in the evenings. That should help with humidity and temps. 1/25/24 - I waited a little too long to water this time. They are not happy. Anyways, watered both with 64 ounces of water with nutes. Adjusted the nutrients a bit as well to adjust for the first week of flowering. Reduced Grow Big by a small bit and added in Tiger Bloom. Will phase out Grow Big over the next few weeks and just keep Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom for the final few weeks.

1/27/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with calmag. Pineapple Express is way more water hungry than Durban Poison. Will keep going with 64 ounces for the time being but may need to bump to a gallon each watering if this keeps up. Not sure yet. Otherwise, they are looking good! 1/29/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with nutes. 1/31/24 - Watered both with 64 ounces of water with calmag.
