Germination
7 months ago
Seeds were germinated using the paper towel method. First one popped out of the soil one day after placing them into their starting pots. The other two followed a day later. One of the seeds had a white dot on it's cotyledon and later turned out to be retarded (could also be me haha) so I'll only count 2 of them as being a success. Coco/ Perlite/ Worm Castings/ Rock Dust used as starting soil

All seems good except for the one seed which started showing some deficiencies at this point. Watering using epsom salt to correct the calmag ratio of my water (fairly high in calcium). Every second watering I'm adding a little molasses and seaweed extract.

Added a little chicken manure to my water. Big Dawg did get some slight nute burn at the tips of the lower leaves. I think I might have overwatered it though.

Everything going well so far. Internodal spacing is really low which is giving me some worries. However plants seem healthy and due to this I also got 6 nodes going from the big plant and 4 with the smaller plant with just one topping. The little guy has been moved to the balcony.

Every second watering I am adding Algae Extract and Molasses. PH 6.5

Still no issues. However I feel like I'm overdoing it with trying to get more branches going. I'm trying to go for 10 on the left and 8 and on the right. They currently have 6 and 4 respectively after one topping. Advice appreciated.

Not having any issues. Watering daily. Plants have reached my desired scrog height and I will lower the scrog netting in the coming days. I have used LST and defoliation to open up new branches. Watering daily with epsom salt PH'd at 6.5. Molasses and algae with every third watering.

Everything is going well. I've repoted into 18L pots on the 26th. Been tucking and using garden wire to push branches down. Defoliated here and there to free up the canopy and remove leaves which don't get any light. Watering with Epsom Salt to correct Calmag ratio of my water (higher calcium content). Every third watering I am adding Algae Extract and Molasses. PH 6.5. No additional nutrients.

Kept tucking for the first 6 Days of Flower. Before the switch I removed circa 50 nodes. They're growing extremely bushy and I find myself defoliated large amounts every other day. To me, they're not showing any signs of stress or defiency. Currently I counted circa 40 tops on the left plant and 30 on the right. I'm not sure whether that's still too much... I'm using a lot of garden wire and hooks to tie the branches down or push them in my desired direction.

Performed a heavy defoliation. Plants in good health. Used garden wire to get branches into desired positions. For watering and soil mixture check week 6. Started adding BioBizz Bio Bloom according to schedule at the start of Flower.

Endless budsights... It's a little too tight I believe, I am constantly trimming leaves... Plats seem healthy though

Not doing anything besides watering. Cruising to the finish line... The right plant seems to be lagging behind quite substantially.
