First solo at home

I started two seeds, one on January 29th and the other January 30th. I used paper towel method with a heating pad on low. Each seed popped over night, and by Sat, Feb 1st I transferred to soilless plug trays with half inch tap roots and put under a 24hr light. Tues Feb 4th I discovered I needed to get my autos into their final pot against my better judgement. Did so with less than half strength B1R, SD &R66 into a slightly dampened pot of soilless medium. Maintained humidity with mist bottle and domes. Lighting at approximately 2ft. This week involved a lot of monitoring and tweaking my set up. Heat was an issue, and well as humidity. I ordered a small electric heater and a humidifier with humidistat.

Root solution Thursday 2oz each Water Water Dry B1 green on Tues 4oz each

More fine tuning was done this week. A different heater introduced Thursday because the last one would only run 12 hours at a time. Beginning Wed, Feb 12; 4 oz of quarter strength Veg solution was applied to each. The numbers I entered are for HALF strength solution. So I only applied quarter strength once, which was Wednesday. I removed a heating pad and rotated pots. Thursday No water. Monitor only. Friday Gave each plant 4oz of HALF strength veg Saturday no water Sunday pH 6.8 water only - 8oz ea Monday pH 6.8 h2O 8oz ea. Began playing w LST Tuesday Removed LST. - no water I want to start LST as early as I can before they get too Woody, but I definitely feel I've jumped the gun so I'm going to hang tight until I see more height. Sneak peek for next week; today, Wednesday, is technically the beginning of week 4 so I'll record this next week as well.. but today I gave 4oz more each of half strength veg nutes and turned on flower lights as well so I am now running full spectrum. (1000w not 1200w) I am hoping that by being more reserved on fluid quantities next week will allow me to squeeze in more feed-water-water cycles instead of dry out days. Trying to fine tune their water consumption.

I'll be switching from referencing the calendar dates to days from seed now. Day 21- 4-6oz ea of HALF strength veg Started running full spectrum approximately 25,000 lux at canopy Day 22- determined that they're showing mild signs of nutrient deficiency because they're in a soilless medium and I've been only moldy feeding. I noticed light spots on the leaves and tip burn. Coupled with dark foliage and short growth, I decided to add calmag to their water today. 1/2 strength. 6oz ea. Day 23- 2 pH meters are reading at/above 7 but under 8. 4oz ea plain water Day 24- 8oz ea HALF strength veg and I introduced a natural co2 emitting bag of weird crap from Amazon. Day 25- light water Day 26- 8oz water each NOTICED FIRST FLOWER and began LST again. Removed one fan leaf each and a couple fingers Day 27- 16oz each FULL strength veg Day 28- no h20 I can tell air quality for me has decreased since adding the co2. I don't have a meter but I when I pull my head out and zip it closed, the air outside the tent is waaaaayyy easier to breathe. And I'm seeing good growth since I got it. I've been being really shy on fertilizer but decided to kick it up a notch to full strength as long as they react well. Maybe I'll go half or ¾ now and then.

Last week they got full strength veg on Tuesday so; Day 28 no water Day 29 10oz ea h2o Day 30 16oz ea full strength veg Day 31 7.5oz ea h2o Day 32 light h2o Day 33 8oz ea full strength veg Day 34 light water. Removed 2 fan leaves from each and continued LST on limbs

Day35 h2o only 8oz ea Day 36 began spiraling the stretchier plant h2o only (and have been swapping pots regularly) Day 37 full strength veg 16oz ea Day 38 16 oz ea h2o, defoliated dense plant Day 39 8oz each h2o only and more LST Day 40 first FLOWER FERT! DAY 41 h20 only Day 42 h2o only, spiraling a limb on the dense plant now, also introduced a new fan.
