Green Gelato auto & Hulkberry auto

Gogo_The_Melon First week was fairly hands off. Watered the seedlings once with a small amount of water. I use filtered water with some tap water mixed in. Other than that, just kept the humidity around 68-70%. It has been reduced down to 65 over the last 2 days. Light intensity was gradually increased from 50 to 70% over the week. The seedlings seem to be in pretty good shape. Can kinda watch them grow literally 👽 Pics are at 7 days old The plan is to start watering them a little bit more next week and reduce humidity bit more. Hopefully it will be as stress free as week 1 and see a good bit more growth. Also have the plants in 2 different pot sizes. Green Gelato in 18 L, Hulkberry in 10L. Last 2 grows all plants were in 10L. Roots pretty much went everywhere, so want to see how the root development compares.

Gogo_The_Melon 2nd week was also pretty easy going. Both plants are developing well and also at the same speed. Makes it easy to manage. Only issue was a somewhat patchy soil ph. It was a bit low in a few spots. Managed to even it out mostly with the 2 waterings they got this week. Need to refine my throwing soil, water and a seed into a pot strategy a bit though. Was a bit thoughtless with preparation so far, something to change for the next grows. No nutrients yet, since the soil contains enough for 4 weeks. Their stems are slowly starting to thicken up as well, so exposing them to wind for longer. Really enjoyable to watch how they grow. Plant symmetry 😊

Gogo_The_Melon Both plants continue to grow well. The only concern are some very small yellow spots, that appeared on some of the leaves of the Green Gelato. They don't appear on newer growth so far, but it did freak me out a bit. I had some deficiencies creep up in my first 2 grows and really want to avoid it this time. The plan was to add first round of nutrients some stage next week. Ended up however adding them already this week. Hopefully it will prevent further issues. Other than that, really happy with how they shape up. These pics are just before they got their first light defoliation. They started to look a bit like little plant hippies and also shading a lot of lower growth👽 Since this was done at the start of week 4, I'll include pics for next week. Happy growing 😎

Gogo_The_Melon Happy friday! Both plants are 4 weeks old today. Generally this week was also fairly smooth. Small concern are some slightly discolored tips, especially on the Green Gelato. This is very likely due to starting to add nutrients a little bit too early. Was pretty sure the Green Gelato was starting to show signs of a deficiency last week, so added nutrients a bit earlier than I should have. It very likely wasn't a deficiency though. Ended up reducing the amount of Grow this week by about 50%. Bloom was given at full dosage. Another small issue is the PH dropping a bit every now and so often. Plan is to bring up the PH a bit more this week. Defoliation: Took some of the first leaves and 4 of the big fan leaves on each plant on day 22. Some more were removed on day 25. Both plants have shaped up really well since then. Green Gelato still looks pretty unruly in the middle. Will do another round probably later in week 5. Watering: Increased the amount from 1 liter per plant to 1.5 now since they are growing pretty fast. Both plants have started to show first sign of flowering the last days. They are stretching out a good bit as well. All in all pretty happy still with how the grow is going. On to week 5 👽
