VirginiaGrower Began with the paper towel method, then off to a Rapid Rooter, soaked in water, Myco and Molasses and inserted into a solo cup with Happy Frog and perlite mixed with very small amounts of Diatomaceous Earth for the silica, Myco Bliss and Molasses.

VirginiaGrower She has her 2nd set of true leaves and is doing well. I'm expecting to put her in her permanent home this weekend and into the Big Girl Tent :-) Watering as needed. Update: Her new home is in a 5 gallon pot filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest with added Perlite, Myco and DE. Watered at 6.3 with SuperThrive before and after transplant.

VirginiaGrower She is doing nicely after her transplant into the 5 gallon pot. Ph'd water only as it's still early for nutes. She is now growing in FFOF. Update: She looks really beautiful, strutting her 4 sets of leaves 2 days into week 2 😀. I supplemented with just a bit of Cal-Mag, gearing up for her 3rd week. We have quickly closed in on the end of her 2nd veg week. She is doing well and looking great. I will probably not give her any Cal-Mag next week as her color is getting a little too dark green. We had some issues with light and wind amount, so backed the oscillating fan down and adjusted the light for PPFD and DLI. I am going to attempt to FIM this week as she already has her 6th node, so we'll see how that goes. I'll give her some SuperThrive the day before and with the water following. Not sure when I'll start her growing nutrients, as she's still looking quite healthy.

VirginiaGrower Today is 1ay 1 of week 3 with 6 nodes. As this grow is a sativa run, I've decided to try out the FIM technique. This is one of 3 that I fimmed this morning. Critiques definitely welcome, and time will tell if I did it right. With her water yesterday, she was given a bit of SuperThrive, hoping to help with the stress. Once I see new growth, I'll remove a couple of the older fan leaves to open her up to the lights. At this point, I don't believe I'll bend her but will definitely LST. I'll wait to flip to 12/12 until my youngest (one week) is ready to be to be also turned. Update: It's been 2 days since her FIM, and she appears to be doing well and healing. She's not showing, as of yet, a need for weekly nutrients, but once she has recovered, I'll start on a very low dose of nutrients to get her ready for flowering in several weeks. Update: The girl is rocking her FIM 😀 She was watered today, and started on very low doses (1/8 th doses) of nutrients with vitamins. Over the past 2 days, I removed the huge fan leaves (pic above of Blue Dream). She is responding well and I will start to LST in the next day or two.

VirginiaGrower I've had to defoliated some of the larger leaves and underbrush, of course you peak in on them the day after and it looks like it's all grown back, lol. I will continue to do light defoliation for air movement and to give more light to those smaller stems that have developed. I've had to battle a light infestation of fungus gnats with the help of Mosquito Bits. We have 2 treatments under the belt, 2 more to go. I've also placed sticky traps in the pots and have a "purple" light with sticky cards in the tent, which I have run during her dark hours. Thank goodness this can be done during Veg. Obviously, I need to let her dry out more than I have. Her next feeding will be of a bit of Fox Farm nutrients. Update: Last dose of nutrients was this past Friday, so just going slow with them and seeing how she responds. Update. She doing awesome!! She's nearing the end of her 4th week. I have been defoliating here and there, for air and removing those leaves that are shielding other bud sites and shouldn't be tucked due to size.

VirginiaGrower Today is her 5th week b-day! She is doing great. My other 2 plant are showing a Magnesium deficiency, so she also received an increased dose of Cal-mag. She has been getting about 1/4th tsp per week for the past 2 wks, but she is being turned mid-week next week, so it's time to increase her dose anyway in preparation for her turn to flower. She is a 90% on lighting both the main and supplemental lights and increasing her night to 6 hours. Her PPFD and DLI are in check.
