Fastbuds - 2x Smoothie 2x Zkittlez Autos

12/26 (Day 8) - The 2nd week of life starts today. The pots were turned anther 1/4 turn today. Starting today, the lights will be on 20/4, shutting off from 10a-2p. I feel the small break will give them some rest period, and hopefully be beneficial to growth. 12/27 (Day 9) - Plants given 1/2 gallon of water right before the lights went out today. I tried to water slowly, and assume that 1/2 gallon of water shouldn't really result in runoff, but definitely possible, and as I said before, the pot had gotten dried out, so I have to slowly get the entire thing wet again so it will hold water better. To me, the biggest difference to starting an auto in its final home is the pot size. The young plant doesn't need 1/2 gallon of water, but I also can't leave the remaining soil to just sit there dry. I was curious, and decided to check the pH of the runoff of one of the plants. It went into the pot at 7.0 (tap water), and came out at 6.55. Next time, I will look for my PPM pen and check the PPM of the runoff. Also realized my timer is a bit off, with the lights going off at 1045a, and should be returning on at 245p, as they are set to be off for 4 hours. 12/28 (Day 10) - Everything is looking good so far. Plants are starting to grow well, and I feel better about the soil since it was fully watered yesterday. With the lights now going off, the temps seem to range from 76-80 for the highs, and dropping to 66-68 during the 4 hours of lights off, an acceptable range for me. 12/29 (Day 11) - Growth is starting to pick up, and the plants are finally starting to look like real plants, with multiple leaves out there. 12/30 - (Day 12) - Plants seems to be liking the soil mix they are in thus far. Will be watching them a few weeks into flower and see how they are doing. I was happy with the flower mix soil from Maximum Yield that I used for my last photo crop, so if those goes well, I will have no problem using it again. Watering will be done again tomorrow. 12/31 (Day 13) - Watered today, each plant given 1.5L, with the tiniest amount of runoff coming through. I am going to get a feel for these and how much to give soon enough lol. It amazes me that the medium has settled almost 1.5 inches into the pots. When they were filled, they were filled to close to 1/2 inch from the top, and it has now settled to about 2" from the top on all 4 pots. Pots were rotated 1/4 turn today. Not sure if that I will be able to keep doing it, but I am going to try. 1/1 (Day 14) - The start of a new year and the end of the 2nd week. Everything seems to be going smoothly thus far. The plants seem to like the soil, and are seemingly growing quickly. It does appear to me that the nodes are growing rather close, and the plants were about 27" from the light, so I raised it up to ~30" from the plants for now, and will let them grow into it again for another week or 2. At the end of the 2nd week, plant heights are as follows: Smoothie #1 - 2.75" Smoothie #2 - 2.5" Zkittlez #1 - 2.25" Zkittlez #2 - 2.75"
