This is actually the full 5th week NOT week 6, I don’t know how I messed up the week count but I did. Sweet ZZ has really taken off this week. It grew 6 inches, almost an inch a day. I did defoliate a few leaves every water/feed. I upped the lights to full 100% after I learned that the drooping I noticed earlier wasn’t due to too much light, rather part of the natural cycle of the plant preparing for lights out. I’m a newb, but I’m learning. I also upped the feeds to 8ml base nutes per gallon and upped the cal/mag to 1/2 tsp per gallon of RO water. The Northern Light is still about 1 week behind the ZZ. Tons of foliage and even though I defoliated, it still needs more. Many bud sites throughout the NL. The NL grew 3 inches and has gone into flower. I’m not expecting much stretch given what it has shown thus far. Stout but hardy. I’ll probably defoliate the NL again once it stretches. This being my first grow, I’ll be happy if I get to harvest for 1 plant, both would be amazing but I’m going to curb any expectations.
Thanks for all of the positive support! I need it lol every decision I make, I fear may be the wrong one. Getting into the crucial period of the plants I hope they don’t suffer too much.
