First grow

Learned a bit prior to popping these during my first 6 weeks with some other guinea pig plants that started in a closet under less than ideal conditions under a tipped over lamp and low humidity The setup grew with the guinea pigs and now I got light, humidity and temp environment dialed in with a 4x4 tent, 8 lamp T5, autopilot analog controller, humidifier, and 6" inline fan/filter exhausting out a window dryer vent fitted with an ultrafine mesh bug screen lol My watering/feeding regimen needs some work as the guinea pigs have had pH and nute burn problems. With these new PK babies I'm just using distilled water right now until I get pH tools and an airstone/pump. I made a large batch of lactobacillus serum preserved in unsulphered blackstrap molasses and am planning on using that in conjunction with bu's brew compost tea during veg. I'm hoping I can catch these girls up to the guinea pigs and possibly flower together. Probably topping the guinea pigs twice total to try to achieve that.

Transplanted on day 12 to what I think are 1L pots. Sprinkled some myco's on the roots during transplant. Got a calibrated pH meter, pH up/down, airpump/airstones, and a calibrated tds/ec/ppm meter to fine tune the feeding schedule. Still planning on using bu's brew compost tea and lactobacillus serum during veg.

Early in the week I whoopsied up and accidentally gave them two days of 24 hour light. One handled it and the other didn't. Then I whoopsied up again and fed them diluted compost tea that hadn't been aerating. Even though it was pH/ppm dialed in, as it dried it produced a bug problem from within that I had to combat with neem oil. So not doing either of those again. We'll see if the hurt one recovers. Topping the older plants in the tent tomorrow.

Everybody in the tent got neem oil root drenched this week and I've continued foliar spraying neem oil once a day. Once they dry again my plan is to flush with pH/ppm'd lactobacillus serum and repeat that cycle once more. After that I'll be looking into either botanigard, myco's or diatomaceous earth. Aphids suck but the treatment seems to be working so far. I went a little crazy with super cropping the older ones but the worst one I injured might be a male anyways. One will have 4 nice tops at least.

Had to shut down the grow because it's not kosher with the property owner despite being in a legal state. On top of that I was going to run into major heat problems without being allowed to put an a/c unit in the window. I learned a lot and still have all the gear to do it again once I have my own place. Good luck to everyone else on their grows ✌️
