---11/23/24--- Day 18 from germination
I noticed that the plants are picking up growth again, seemingly accelerating each day. The new growth seems healthy, and the main stems are thickening and becoming stronger each day! Unfortunately, my soil revealed itself to be under spider mite attack. I tried to remedy the issue by spraying some Captain Jack Neem Oil - will keep monitoring and re-applying as needed.
Still feeding the plants plain, Ph balanced water.
--11/20/24--- Day 15 from germination
I transplanted the babies into a 5 gallon AC Infinity fabric pots, each filled with:
* Moistened Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil
* Several handfuls of perlite
* Several handfuls of vermiculite
* 1 tsp of Mycorrhizae towards the top 25% of the soil
I watered the top of the soil around the plants with ~250ml of plain, 6.3 Ph water.
Before the transplantation, I noticed some yellowing of the bottom leaves on 2 of the plants, paired with slowed growth the past couple of days. I suspect this was either due to a nitrogen deficiency (notice how the the roots look rootbound) or slight overwatering. Either way, the issue should resolve itself, as the new soil will provide breathing room + more nutrients.

I was going to transplant them into their 5 gallon fabric pots, however, I'm probably going to give them a couple more days to establish a more robust root system.
I noticed a weak skunky smell coming from the Mamasita strain. It started around day 10 -ish.
Water:
Plain 6.5ph balanced water every 2 days.
Light:
18/6 light cycle.
Vivosun VS4000 @ 50% most of the time, sometimes increasing to 75%.
Air:
Clip-on fan set to 3/10 speed to constantly blow at the plants.
Thank you! I picked Pineapple Express because one of my friend requested it. The rest, I picked based on reputation and other people's grow pictures- those are some pretty strains!
I'm enjoying this grow a lot so far, but I am also quite fixated on the little things. It's part of the enjoyment for me. 💚✨️
