Slow start to life for the seedlings this time around, I put this down to colder temps in the tent. I normally run a heater but it's summer here and I'm getting 25c during the day and roughly 20c at night. However we had a few days of colder temps around 18c during lights on which isn't ideal.
Noticed some inward leaf curling which generally means early stage calcium deficiency and is a common issue with seedlings in Coco, so I've added CalMag to the last two feedings which should sort that out

This plant hasn't suffered the same CalMag deficiency as my other two this run.
Just seems to be happily chugging along, was transplanted into 2.5l pot 2 days ago
This girl is chugging along nicely. It's structure is more what I'm used to, and it's rate of growth is more what I'd expect for week 3 of veg compared to the other two.
I've just repotted all three plants I have this run into autopot xl pots, and am top feeding for 10 or so days to establish roots before connecting the bases.
I've also started adding silica to the nutrients.
I plan on topping this plant once which should happen in the next week or so
This week all 3 plants received a topping and LST.
This plant is definitely growing more along the lines that I'm used to, a lot more space between nodes than the other two making it a lot easier to train.
We're still top watering for a few more days, hopefully we get some good growth so I can take some clones and flip these girls.
Lots of growth this week.
This week we turned on the res so we are now bottom feeding automatically.
Today I took clones from all the plants, going to let them bounce back from that and flip to flower in the coming week.
I'd like to veg the other 2 out a bit bigger but the shiskaberry is already taking over the tent
Flipped light schedule 2 days ago so we're now on the start of flower, I'm still calling this a veg week as most of the week was veg
She's starting to stretch, definitely the biggest plant of the bunch, glad I went with 3 plants so she's got more room
This plant is out growing my tent!
I've had this problem last run, with autopots and one plant stretching way more than the others.
I took clones this run of all 3 strains which meant I had to veg longer than what I would of liked. Only a week into flower and the lights almost at the top of the tent!
At least I should get a good yeild off this plant and I'm vegging the clones now in another tent so as soon as I'm done with this run we're running the runtz and mimosa again and hopefully do a better job.
This plant is a tad out of control! She's taking up most of the tent!
I've had to trim alot off it to allow some light to the other two plants in the tent!
Long spaces between nodes, not exactly desirable in my setup, anyhow we will continue on, I have this cloned however I don't think it's one imma keep given how it's grown so far.
Big plant, but too much internodal spacing for my liking.
Hopefully it doesn't Hermie being so close to the light!
Trimmed alot of lower stuff away, some branched have now surpassed the light that's at the top of the tent. Praying the stretch is over as she focuses more on bud production.
She's the biggest plant I've grown, ideally I would flip this strain to flower probably 3 weeks or more earlier.
Is what it is and hopefully we can make it through the next few weeks of flower without any major troubles and I'll take this knowledge for future grows
Finally the stretch is over and we're focusing on fattening up our buds, so we've got rid of the problem of out growing the tent... And replaced that with being to big and lanky to support our buds so I've tied a bunch of colas to the light for support
She's too close to the light so in expecting the tops to bleach out, I've lowered the power of my light a little to compensate, and fingers crossed she doesn't Hermie.
I definitely feel I haven't grown any of these plants this run to the best of their ability, I think this plant wanted flipped to flower far sooner than I did and the other two would of been better being ran by themselves.
Last pic is of the clones I took, the shiskaberry is the front right, you can see she's just a different animal to the others, which are more uniform. I'm running 2x mimosa x orange punch and 2x runtz muffin next, as you can see they're much the same size and should make for a far more even canopy.
I do plan to run shiskaberry again in the future, give her a shorter veg time and hopefully have better results with her. Still looking forward to the smoke
