HuskyHouse Seems like a bit slower then when I start seedlings in the summer, weather has been up and down here so it’s up and down with the heat to ac and a battle to keep the two tents at comfortable levels. One of the seedlings in the tent was stretching towards the light over night so I switched to a 20-4 light schedule. Gave her 1/2 liter of 1/9th of nutrients today, excited to see her grow!

HuskyHouse My northern lights was recently harvested so I cleaned the 3x3 tent with soap and water, and Optim 1. They seem to be doing decent in the new tent with more optimal temps and environment.

HuskyHouse For the brand new growers here, do not be afraid to ask questions! This was my first coco grow and I let my stubbornness take over and did not ask a question thinking I was doing the right thing, I flushed after a recent transplant with low nutrients because I was getting high ph reads in the soil with a soil meter. Well turns out I locked the nutrients and had to flush again with ph balanced water to get the ppm backs down to 500 from 1500, and that soil ph readers are not as affective as soil and need to read the ph in the runoff. Lesson learned the hard way, she is recovering and thicker and slightly more growth then 7 days ago but showing way more stunting signs then the strawberry gorilla. Hooking up the strawberry gorilla to the gravity fed system tomorrow and will hook her up to it in a few days after more growth signs and hoping the gravity fed system will ge her back on track and help her with vigorous growth. Until next time!

HuskyHouse Wow has she done a 360 and gone back on track! In the past week, I got the ppm stable and then after lots of growth in just 4-5 days about 2 days ago I have hooked her up to the gravity fed system. Her Ppm intake and out put has been pretty close to 500. Her last top feeding was about a gallon, I will top feed her again in about 4 days and feed weekly for 1-2 weeks until she adjusts. Also in the last 7 days I slowly switched her nutrients as I ran out of base a for the other nutrients and prefer advanced nutrients and Both her and her tent mate did well transitioning!

HuskyHouse Ho ho ho, figured I would dress them up a bit being that Christmas is right around the corner! About a week ago I started some LST, she has done well with that and grown about 2 more inches since the last post. She is currently in pre flower so I adjusted the nutrients in the gravity fed system a tad and will get to about 700 ppm soon, also added bloom and bug bud. Unfortunately I have a type of algae growing on the sides and treated it with a hydrogen peroxide solution wipe down and will follow up with a sprits until it gone. Her canopy should block the light also and curb it in a few weeks. Looking forward to her flowering!

HuskyHouse She is doing well and dealing lot better then the strawberry gorilla with light transition in flowering, did some light defoliation and took off the original LST clips from 2 weeks ago and added some new ones to new growth. Ppm for nutrients around 750 this week, and they are still eating a tad just not as much as the week before flower( guessing from the strawberry gorilla light stress maybe ). Will probably slowly increase to 780-800ppm in 3-4 days and Monitor them, nutrient Ph has been stable from 6.1-3.
