(Jan 11 - Jan 18)
I got a new humidifier from AC infinity and the plants are loving it. I quickly increased the base feed from 8 to 12 and then the next day to 16. They looked hungry and as of the 18th they seem to be responding well to the feed. I also culled #4 because she just wasn't catching up to her sisters. Increased lights to 60%. I recently got the correct part A formula for coco specifically so we'll see next week how they respond. I transplanted from solo cups to 2 gallon plastic pots so things should pop off next week. I sprinkled a bit of Big Foot mycorrhizal powder on the indent of the solo cup before transplanting all of these ladies. If they grow fast enough I might even need to top. The 2 gallon pot will be it's final pot as I've seen some amazing crops come out of 2 gallon "trade pots"(1.5 gallons really) before.
Rough phenotype observations
#1 Tallest at 9 inches tall and most developed. It's been the most developed for a while and drinking a lot. Not the tightest inter-nodes or most symmetrical branch development. It seems like a slightly bigger version of the average plant in here so this could just be some sort of head start I couldn't have controlled for.
#2 Average height and development not too cluttered not too lanky very uniform structure
#3 She's kinda leaning but that's okay average to tall height(if she were upright) bushy structure and fatter leaves
#4 Culled(but not really though she's next to my fish tank trying to find herself)
#5 One of the tallest, happiest, upright, most developed and she's got tighter inter-nodes too. Gold star my dude
#6 Second tallest more upright with fat wavy leaves. Looser inter-nodes but nice development.
#7 Second smallest at 5 inches tall. Otherwise unremarkable
#8 On the tall side at just under 8 inches. Good branch development with thinner leaves. Nice uniform upright structure
#9 Average height at just over 5 inches. Good branch development but not overall size/vigor
#10 Runt of the pack and even forgot to put on a branch on node 3 or 4. That's not even symmetrical bro -10 points. Below average everything. To that I scoff number 10! Get it together...
Who knows though all of these plants have had a solo cup to work with. A whole 2 gallons is going to be a game changer.
*update
I've been watering with 1 liter per plant now every other day or everyday when I don't wanna risk it. I'm using a petra fogger backpack sprayer to water with so it takes a while, but I think the slower you water the better. As of the 23rd all the ladies have roots shooting out of the bottom so that's cool. They're all looking great honestly. I could possibly look at topping everyone tomorrow with all the recent growth.
*25th update
They took to the topping and transplant very well. When topped the cuts smelled like thick straw/raspberries and some complex funky incense. They all more or less had the same smell so the winner might be decided by structure or effects. We'll see though it's far too early to guess anything like that.
