First Grow - 3 Plants & Strains

Another big week for me I think as a first time grower. (I guess they're all big weeks when it's your first grow 😃) I put up a scrog net at the beginning of the week...and removed it by the end of the week. I decided that I was adding yet another layer of complexity that I wasn't ready for yet. The young ladies drank down 1 gallon of nutes each on Monday, June 10 and Wed, June 12. Also on the 12th there was some serious fan leaf removal, more FIMming, and since I could now see from the leaf removal more staples added or moved around for LST. Friday the 14th the ladies drank 2/3 of a gallon of nutes each. I wanted to make sure that they're gonna be thirsty on Sunday before the light switch happens. I'm pretty happy with how the girls are shaping up (or OUT as it were) and how thick the structure is getting. If I've absorbed the information I've been reading correctly. They look really good and I see A LOT of potential bud sights. I'm still terrified of killing them somewhere along the way, but my paranoia aside, the plan is to switch them over to 12/12 lights on Sunday night to kick off the Flowering cycle for Week 8. I'm a little worried about possibly jumping the gun a little but I don't know how much they're going to shoot up and continue to grow the rest of the way. You live and you learn, right? Every grow environment is different and what works for 1 person may not work for another. You grow, you adapt to the changing circumstances of the variables thrown at you.
