My First Ever Grow!

--Feb 2-- Here goes nothing! Schedule has been updated to 12/12 starting tonight. Gave them another 2 liter feeding today after giving them 2 liters yesterday. STILL no runoff. pots felt somewhat light so I gave them a full feeding again. Did a bit more trimming of some fan leaves that looked lower. making up the nute mix for tomorrow morning with the low dose of boost to get things moving! --Feb 3-- First dose of nutes with boost today. Things aren't looking too bad today. I removed all the tie downs as they don't seem to be doing anything anymore and my canopy is fairly even. I'll probably have to do some work during the stretch but they can move around for now. --Feb 4-- Not much to report today. My humidity seems to be pretty low today so I need to try and pick that up a bit. gave the girls another drink and they seem to be doing well. Sort of looks like the yellow tips I started to see on the Pineapple Express last week are actually receding; or more probably they are growing bigger. I wasn't really sure what was happening but I think it may have been nute burn although it did not last very long. --Feb 5-- I am definitely starting to see a stretch. Only 3 days into flower and I can tell already they are at least an inch or two taller than when we started. My humidity is still low so I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get a bigger humidifier. Living in an arid climate makes it very difficult to get RH over 25%. I also think that is why I haven't been getting any run off from the girls. Between the coco, fabric pots and super arid climate, I wouldn't be surprised if that water started evaporating as soon as I pour it. I've been slowly increasing the Boost additive instead of just giving them full dose. As of today I'm at half the recommended dosage and should be full by the end of the week. --Feb 6-- So far so good! Girls are having a good week. They definitely increased in size since yesterday. I'm using the TNB CO2 bottles and just refilled the CO2 this morning so that should help them with growth a bit too. Still fighting with humidity. Its crazy how hard it is to find a smallish dehumidifier without any goddamn lights! --Feb 7-- Holy forest batman! I really wasn't expecting to be able to see the stretch/growth in flowering for at least a week or two. These girls are exploding. So much so that I'm starting to get concerned that I may have to defoliate them. i was expecting a bit more sativa traits but these girls are going wide! todays nute mix included the full dose of bloom so maybe that will get them focusing on flowers more. --Feb 8-- Thanks to the growers who answered my question. I've went ahead and trimmed them down today. Lots of stuff in the shade that I removed. With cappuccino, I went a bit further than the others and lollipopped her pretty good. Hopefully it wasn't too much at once but she had a lot of tiny leaves and bud sights that were just not getting light. After the haircuts they got a nice big drink but I may have to give them another later today. They seemed a little dry from yesterday.
