Week 3 and things are starting to pick up now. We're getting into my favorite phase where lots of things are happening, the plants are really starting to develop, and we can start being more hands-on with them as we get ready for transplanting, topping, and training- good times! 😃
- Plants could be transplanted now, but more coco won't be here for another couple of days. Not a problem, things will be fine.
- Will have to decide which plant to keep, both are looking really good so it will be a tough call
- Bringing humidity down in the tent as veg development picks up
- 5th set of leaves starting to develop
- Plant looks great, green and healthy, no notable issues
- Looks like it will be a little more on the Indica side as far as plant structure and shape
- Lights measuring 450 PPFD at top of plant
- Runoff pH and PPM at 5.9 and 953, good ranges
- For watering, giving daily fertigation with very light feed and will continue that until repotting

Repotting day! The ladies are in their final home in 5 gal fabric pots filled with Foxfarm Cultivation Nation 70/30 coco/perlite mix. I'll give them a few days to adjust and then the first topping will come later next week.
- Decided to go with Plant 2 for the full grow- the node spacing was a little more open and spacious and will get better light and air penetration, though Plant 1 looked really good as well. We thank Plant 1 for her service 🙏
- Plant looking nice and green
- Good looking root structure, was close to getting root-bound, but things look good
- Watered with 6.4 pH water with 5 ml of Cal/Mag to start buffering the coco, soaked the pot to 10% runoff
- Didn't take runoff measurements since the coco will need to settle in for a little while to get meaningful measurements

- Plant doing very well after repotting
- Due to plant height, the lowest leaves are touching the soil- won't be an issue after the first topping later this week
- Plant looking nice and green, though a little minor deceleration on first set of leaves
- Light measured at 450 PPFD at plant top
- Runoff pH at 5.9 (PPM measures over 2000, but the coco is still settling and buffering)
@SCENEcultivoindoor, Thanks for reading and following! Indeed, things look good so far- I'm really looking forward to getting into the topping and training phase, that should be starting up next week if I can get the repotting done later this week 😃
