Ist Grow Ever & Indoors In Organic Soil

Nov. 25 - Dec.2, 2019 Started to LST near the end of week three. See last week for those details. This week the plants are responding well to the LST'ing. Both techniques are filling out well. The method of bending the main stem to the pots edge is getting easier for me to understand what to do and how to manipulate the plant as it fills out. I decided to top dress all pots today with about 2 cups of Alaskan Humus and water in. Well that didn't turn out so good. Newbies such as myself...do this lightly. The 2 cups per plant made a mess of the tops of my soil in all pots I had standing water/mud. I freaked out a little. I watered about 4-6 cups per plant trying to soak it in. Finally a just stepped away for about 30 minutes and let the fans run. When I came back everything was dry enough so I could just rough up the first inch or so with my fingers and work the hummus in. All is well now. Performed a good amount of LST on all the plants. Keeping fan leaves out of the way and exposing new growth sites. Sorry for the delay in an update. Work has been busy the last week and kept away from the diary. Barely enough time to keep up with the grow. I behind as the grow is 2 days into week six. Week six will have the latest pics. Week has ended and we , my soil has recovered from my top dressing fiasco. All plants are looking well. I have noticed the Californian Snow strain does not respond as well to LST method of bending the stem over to the side of the pot. Of the 3 Californian Snow #3's growth is a bit behind the other plants. The other two CS's were left to grow naturally with LST'ing by staking the fan leaves out of the way of blocking light to the bud sites...kinda like forcing it to grow in the shape of a Christmas tree. All of the Zkittlez are responding well, color and growth look good. I have provided links in the comments sections to the individual diaries of each strain.
