08/2019 - ILGM Purple Haze

Day 22 from germination: The plants have been growing well, although I was hoping for there to be more root density when I transplanted them into their final 7 Gallon fabric pots. This is my first time using Pro-Mix HP with Mycorrhizae and I have to say this soil looks and feels amazing. I mixed it 3:1 with perlite so it will drain better based on recommendations from other growers and, after feeding them for the first time since they've been transplanted, I have a feeling this soil, and the fact that I'm using larger pots, is going to require a lot more water than I'm used to. In previous grows (50/50 mix of Fox Farms Ocean Forest & Happy Frog) I was getting plenty of overflow when I gave them each a gallon of water. I fed them each 1 gallon today, so I can see how long it takes for the pots to dry back out, and I didn't get any overflow. I'm have a very good feeling about this grow. The plants have been growing wonderfully since they sprouted, and the weather should be cooling down soon, which will help keep the tent environment where it needs to be. I'm hoping to train the plants well enough to where I won't need a trellis net, because removing the plants from the net at harvest is really difficult unless I cut every branch, but I prefer to hang the entire plant to dry, so pulling each plant through the net at harvest is such a hassle.
