Blue Dream Seed Supreme

VirginiaGrower 2 days into week 1, and she's a happy girl! Her leaves are already reaching the edges of the solo cup, but she has her 3rd set of leaves that have barely appeared...between the 1st and 2nd set of true leaves, she'll stay here until mid-week or until the end of the 1st week of veg. Watering as needed😉Of the 4 different strains that I am growing, she is the tallest :-D Update: She's found her home in a 5 gallon pot and doing well!

VirginiaGrower 1st day of her young 2 weeks. She was transplanted several days ago, and she is bouncing back nicely. I didn't change the height, as I sunk her to her cotyledon leaves, but she's already showing new growth :-D Update: Changed height. I began giving her a very small amount of Cal-Mag. She is doing really well; however, she is the smallest of the other two that were started at the same time. 1/2 way into wk 2, and she has 4 sets of true leaves, working on her 5th set 😊 Update: We are at the end of her 2 weeks. She is growing her 6th node, and I'm getting a little apprehensive. I have topped plants before, but this time - with this grow, I'm wanting to try my hand with FIMming. My luck I'll wind-up FIMming the other way and topping instead, lol. She is doing well, even with some small issues with a fan that was up to high which I turned down but it had already caused some wind burn. Plus, with several days of cooking for Christmas, I wasn't as focused as I should have been, and the light had gotten a bit to close. I'm looking forward to seeing what week 3 brings.

VirginiaGrower She's turned three weeks today, and she has 6 nodes and is doing well. She is one of 3 that I have FIMmed today. I hope I did it right. Lots of reading and pictures, lol. She was given SuperThrive with her water yesterday in preparation for today. I'm hoping that waiting until 6 nodes will benefit her in a faster recovery. Once I start to see new growth, I'll take a couple of the older fan leaves off to open her up and get rid of the damaged leaves (wind and light burn). I'd love some feedback on her FIM. Update: It's been 2 days since her FIM, she appears to be doing well, but as I had not performed the FIM technique previous to two days ago, not sure if what I'm seeing is normal or not. Her leaves in that area appear brown, so I'll keep an eye on her. She's already started growing in the FIMmed area, so hoping the browning is normal and part of the process. Update: she's grown out of the little bit of brown that she had, and she didn't skip a beat. I removed some of the huge fan leaves (size shown in one of this week's photos. I'll start to LST in the next day or two.

VirginiaGrower She's doing really well. Since her FIM, she has been growing outward with a slight increase in height, which is what I was aiming for. Treating her with Mosquito Bits for a fungus gnat infestation and running a very low purple light during lights out while in the Veg stage. I need to keep a better eye on getting her dried out. I've been using a moisture meter, but obviously, she still hasn't dried out enough. She is getting little minor defoliation - big leaves, air movement, new sites needing light - also tucking what I can, but only so much of that - that can be done without impacting the air movement in the inter-canopy. She will get another dose of Fox Farm nutrients this Friday. Last nutrient dose was this past Friday, so going slow and making sure she has a positive response.😊

VirginiaGrower Our 5th week is showing a hint of Magnesium deficiency. Her cal-mag has been stepped up. I'm taking a different approach on this grow (4 plants all different strains), waiting for the plant to tell me what they need instead of giving doses of nutrients that aren't needed. Usually by this time, you can see the salts seeping out of the cloth pots. This grow isn't showing any salts seeping through. 😁 The downside will be that I will now see deficiencies here and there. I do believe it's better to underfeed than to overfeed, possibly creating subsequent lockouts of other nutrients, which I have been very successful at doing in past grows. 😩 Today, her lighting has gone to an 18/6 light schedule to keep her PPFD/DLI in check. The main light and supplemental lights are both at 90%.
