Post week 4 Edit: So this is a wild group of germinating plants. In tent 1 I have the Banana Butter cups at week 2 of growth along with a lovely Chocolope from MSNL, both slated to be reversed after flower in my second tent. I'll be honest, I try not to check what the strains are for my flower. I like to just see what it is if I'm going to be the one smoking it. But my breeding projects are strictly managed and logged. So for the second tent you'll notice I have makeshift pots made out coke bottles, pots at different sizes, solo cups, etc... I don't care. I don't have a huge wad of cash sitting around for me to use on fabric pots that have no visible difference in efficacy from a plastic grow bag. I have some here that were gifts. So this is my amalgam of both of the separate diaries I was going to be doing, figured it'd be better to just set it down now with both tents and show the entire process. This first week is just showing early stages of growth for both tents as well as my germination process for some of the later plants you see being added.

As promised in the last entry. A lot of the early growth is going to be grouped in this week of veg for the diary. I'm going to consider this week 4 of Veg moving forward since that's about where my oldest plants are at this point. My newest plants are about a week old and since I slotted myself one of the Banana Butter Cup S1's to the first tent, the genetics I want for the reversal are finally preserved although she isn't looking the best. Not a lot of coverage on tent 1 I know. But this will change probably next week once we start getting into training them as I also am switching the VS100 out for some corn bulbs, since it seems to be a bit much for the smaller tent, a lot of the smaller plants have been suffering from light stress. I'm not interested in ever having that Banana Buttercups die before she yields me at least 100 seeds to run for the foreseeable future in my quest for Banana Terps. I'll have another Grow going probably in August this year for a bigger breeding project in 5x5 I hope. Until then stay tuned and I'll have more pictures next week!

Nightmare fuel for you guys here. Last week the runt of the litter in the one gallons started exhibiting some rust fungus. In 2 days several of the plants were contaminated by the time I noticed. I treated with Dr Earth and Neem oil and ended up burning the plants with overuse .. So over the last week I've been desperately trying to get the ladies hydrated. Thankfully after what just happened the plants are alright. So my SO bought me some five gallon pots after I said I wouldn't last week lol. I ended up amending the soil and transplanting with bone meal, manganese sulfate, Garden Gypsum, and Gaia green all purpose and bloom. 2 tablespoons of each. After this the girls have been looking MUCH better and there's been good growth. Hoping that in the coming weeks there'll be more to share.
