Day 28
Decided to remove some of the dead ugly leaves from bottom, figured they weren't really helping much anyway. I also topped some of the newest growth. Hope all this wasn't too much for her today. I'm supposing this happened at the 5th or 6th node.
Day 27
Got a tds meter today. Only getting a reading of 60ppm though which is very low as far as I know for week 4 I guess I was not putting enough in. I will calibrate this device to make sure it is working right. I also got a larger air stone. Unfortunately I ripped off a few small roots trying to get the stone situated, I hope she won't be too mad. I will be more careful next time.
My theory for the leaves is since the ppm was so low the new aux buds were " sucking the life" so to speak, from the main leaves giving them deficiencies. However I am probably wrong since the newly formed leaves don't come out looking too bad....at first anyway.
Day 22
Changed bucket water and upped the nutes for the 4th week. Leaves still have some visual issues and I hope the new change will help. I'm expecting a growth spurt to happen soon and pistiles.

Grow Questions
FowerTwennyNoobstarted grow question 5 years ago
Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok?
I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?

Always leave a gap between the bottom of the netpot / rockwool / cube so that the roots do not drown , if they are submerged in the solution you risk getting root rot ,and oxygen deficiency, personally I use root it cubes touching the bottom of my netpot filled with pebbles , try and make the distance to the solution as short as possible to let the roots get there quickly , the faster the roots get into solution the quicker the plant grows . I found that rock wool cubes stayed too wet for me , that’s why I use root it cubes , they are more like sponges , if you put the seed in the rock wool and cover it you run the risk that the plant cannot get out , I personally germinate in the cube then transfer into the pot . Germination needs three things , darkness’s , warmth and moisture . Good luck 👍

Hey the key to drying and curing is to dry the buds as slow as you possibly can without molding them. The optimal drying temp is 70f with 50% humidity. If you dry them too fast it will affect your flavor and smoothness of the buds. And too slow there is a risk if mold. It is very important for the final product to keep the temp and humidity perfect. Once the buds are dried enough that the stems snap when you bend them is it time to jar them up to cure. You dont want to pack the buds tight in the jar. Only fill them up about 3/4 of the way so there is some air flow around the buds. It is best to add a boveda 62% humidity pack to each jar to keep the humidity right when curing. The first week of curing I open the jar a couple times a day to burp it and take the buds out to air for a few minutes. Inspect them to make sure there is no mold. After the first week just open them once every few days to burp the jars and continute to cure as long as you want. The longer you cure the better the bud. Hope this helps.

Good luck with the rest of your grow.

@Mr_Weeds_Autos,
Thank you so much :)
I will check out your diaries too, and hope this yield is good. I have been fortunate with no issues so far and the growth seems to be on track with the week it is in. I hope she is ok with what I just did though lol.

@Black_Magic,
I needed the extra pic for a green smiley face lol (place holder). I might take another pic of plant today it's starting to push up and I can see it trying to get the seed shell off.

Not sure if she is deficient in anything, but the leaf in the day 19 photo looks a bit off and some other ones. Could just be young and filling in but I want to be safe. If anyone has an idea let me know thanks.

I've accepted she didn't produce much at her size. Right now I only hope the quality and high will be good.
