Going for a basic grow.
Soil: Miracle Grow Potting Mix
Water is from tap.
Update Aug 7:
Hello everyone,
Going to try and keep the pictures up to date for you all. Will be taking a top and side view photo of the plant in the AM and PM. This is my first grow and want to stick to basics. Still debating if I want to get some nutes more geared towards cannabis or just stick to generic nutes from the local stores. I currently have a generic veg and bloom nutes, but we'll see. I understand different nutes can bring different yields, but gardening has recently become a big part of my life. Experience is experience in my book, no such thing as good or bad experience. The updates will be short and to the point from here on out unless someone wants some info or has questions.
May your gardens be forever fruitful.
V/r,

Will be posting updates/pictures daily!
Aug 12: First day of week 2! She's doing great.
Will slowly start some nutrients this week, at least I would like to but will wait until she is ready.
Aug 14: This american pie has not spread itself open as much as her northern lights neighbor. Haven't given any nutrients yet. Waiting for a little more growth. Tomorrow I will update with a height measurement!
Thanks for stopping by!

Good evening, I am wondering if my plants main stem is looking a little thin? It's only on day 10 of life. Just not proportionate to her top. Not worrying too much because she's been growing non-stop the last couple days. I also have not started any nutrients. Diary up to date.
Your plant(s) seem to be doing fine , the stem takes a bit of time to thicken up at first and get strong , I might suggest using a silica product this will aid in boosting the stems strength . For the time being your doing well with some LST over time the stalks will fatten up naturally or like I said you can get some silica and add it to your nutrient water mix up . You could also increase the amount of wind your plant faces for addition stem training this will also fatten them up and make them sturdier . If your going to use a silica product I would consider rhino skin from Advanced nutrients . Really cost effective and its a really great product that you can use from the start to finish . I will say though that your going to need an extra hour or so of mixing time when you make your nutrient batch for your plants , I say this because silica takes time to fully dissolve in water so that your plant(s) can absorb it . I hope this information is helpful to you on your quest for glory ! Happy Growing!
Aug 21: Noticed a little leaf burn on the tips of a couple leaves. Wondering if it is the nutrients that came in the soil. Haven't given any nutes yet. Not too worried about the tips, they are the first set of leaves that grew.
Aug 25: Plants are growing like crazy. Will start nutes week 4.
Aug 26: Will be starting nutes this week. LST is starting to look real nice.
Sept 1: Took the girl out to do some upkeep on her LST. Looking like she may be flower soon.
Sept 4: Growing a bit slowly the past few days. Watered yesterday. She has some twisting in her new growth. Not sure what from. Will monitor.
Sept 8: She has been a little stressed lately and maybe slightly over-watered. She will bounce back.
My plant has started getting some leaf twisting at the new growth sites. I have not checked the Ph of the water I have been using which is from the tap. I know this could be affecting it. What might be causing this? I will getting a Ph meter tomorrow and will update.
Your new twisted leaves are not an excess/ def issue neither a disease, I guess it is just the leaves that are trying to be on the best position to take all the light so as you have practiced LST the leaves are trying to take the best position.
Your issue is not PH related and you'd better know that cannabis can grow in soil with a ph range between 6 to 7 without any harm done to your plant, moreover the soil have a self buffering propriety so the ph is tending to "auto stabilised". You can check the ph and composition of your tap water on your local company website to know at least that value
Sept 11 Update: As you can see, she was under watered. I was very confused because I thought I over watered at first. She is back on track. Because of this, nutrients have been delayed, but will be given on her next feeding.
Sept 14 Update: Got her first nutrients today. Starting slow and will increase. She is starting to put on some height.
Sept 18 Update: She is really starting to stretch. Seems like an inch a day haha. Will be increasing her nutrients accordingly. She is starting to get real stinky!
Sept 22: Not much vertical growth since last update. Increasing nutrients.
Oct 12: She is really starting to thicken up. She has been the easiest to nurture so far. She smells like a fresh box of fruit loops with a dazzle of diesel.
Oct 20: She is really starting to put on some weight. So far she has not had any major issues with anything I have given her. Looking forward to watching her get thick.
She smells beyond amazing. Imagine a handful of freshly opened fruit loops. Giving her a small dose of nutrients. Will start flushing end of this week. I expect her to be ready for chop in 10 days. We'll see.
Nov 7: Chop Day! This plant has been the easiest to take care of and the most resilient to my mistakes. Will definitely be looking forward to tasting the buds after dry.
Overall I really enjoyed this plant and will be growing it again in the near future. I did not expect much for my first grow but did expect more than what I yielded. No worries though, practice makes perfect. I am enjoying the satisfaction of seeing a jar filled with some home grown herb. My goal was 2oz. Was 3/4 of an oz away. Very happy with the knowledge I have learned and will be applying it for future grows. Bigger yields to come!
