I was ahead on the weekly timeline so I waited to post this week.
I named the girls, Big Girl and Little Girl. Big girl has shown that she is female and has lots of branches and Little Girl hasn’t shown her female pistols yet nor has she started branching out. Big Girl was started in a 3-gallon pot while Little Girl started in a 1- gallon pot. I transplanted Little Girl to a 3-gallon pot and she grew bigger leaves.
This week is the beginning of week five. The plants sprouted on 12/21.
They are doing great! I have been continuing the simple method of plain water PH down with citric acid to 6.5 and weekly doses of great white micro stuff and 1/4 dose of calmag. I have also topped their pots with a layer of FFOF/perlite mix weekly since week two. No burning or nutrient deficiency😃
I started LST and that’s going well.
The closet is getting cramped so I have plans to build a small grow tent using PVC, panda film and mylar in the next couple days.
This will be good because I can raise the lights as they grow and they will have space to grow.
Looking forward to great results!!😃
Don't stress over it too much cannabis can take P.H. as low as 4 - 9 as high before damage occurs
never had a problem running at 7 myself
if your that worried feed in at 6.1 the sort of recommended level see what your run of is then
you could fuss and fart about trying to get it right but you will always find a difference with the run off because of the growth mediums
Congratulations to the big girl ~ Bless the little girl, and hope the growers stay safe and healthy. I seems have a lots of questions, sorry I'm very new for growing but full of interested.
@TessaMaria,Me 2, thank you for your kind and detailed reply, I learn a lot from your journal. Will you continue update new growth process? I want to follow you🙌lol
@TessaMaria,that's good advice! I always thought it was necessary to use insecticides to make mold disappear, but that would also cause some damage to the plants.😄
@Sunlike2020,
You can do that but it’s better if you cut two inches below the mold because it has less of a chance of coming back in that area. If I have mold, I make sure to cut two inches below the mold spot and toss that part in the garbage carefully not allowing any of the mold the touch any other parts on the plant.

Yes I use tap water for triple washing the trimmed buds at harvest and yes it is because of the mold.
It is unsafe to smoke the mold, so the triple wash makes sure that any mold gets killed off.
The wash can be done on any Freshly harvested buds. I do the triple wash on all my outdoor grown buds and it cleans off all the dust and debris the plant collects over time. If makes the buds smoke really smooth as well!😃😃
@Sunlike2020,
Hello, the branch cracked because I pulled it too far when I was training it. It can happen if you pull it too tight. It’s not a good idea to do that on accident. Sometimes people do it on purpose but for my case it was an accident and it stunted there growth on that branch. 😃

Watered with Bloom, Microblast and great white. Placed fabric pots in five gallon plastic bags.
Big girl is looking much better
PH of watering was 6.5
I started an Epsom salt folliar spray today, used 1/2tsp Epsom salt and 1 liter of water. For Big girl she responded well her leaves started going up more and getting more uniform green color. I also trimmed some inside bud sites that don’t get any light. Just a few so she doesn’t get shocked. Her flowers are starting to smell up the area. Exciting stuff!
