She is behind two of her counterparts by three days, but has almost caught up in every way. -Reasons for the slow start are many. I made mistakes, simple as that. Got cocky and went into this grow thinking everything would be easy. I got complacent and pulled just about every newbie move you can with a seedling. Over-water, Check! Use the wrong starting soil, Check! Light too close, Check! Heat too high and RH too low, CHECK!!!😕 -I was spinning my wheels trying to figure out what exactly went wrong and what role my mistakes played in this. Yesterday, I decided, why? Closure would be nice, but I'm fixating on old problems instead of focusing on the solution right in front of me. Girls not happy...fix it and stop focusing on past mistakes. I know where and what I did. Move on. -Due to improper seeding soil, I scraped the top 3/4 inches of top soil and replaced it with highly conditioned Ocean Forest's amended soil. I generally don't use amended soils, but I felt there was a serious lack of Nitrogen in the soil I was using and I was hoping to wash down some of the nitro in Ocean Forest back into the existing soil. Actually looks to have worked... we'll see. -I moved ahead and micro-dosed all 4 girls. I know we're not 'supposed to' buuuut there's nothing in that soil! and it seems the girls have already gassed out their reserves. This is a test feed and we'll see if the girls picked up. (There haven't been any negative signs 24 hrs after the feeding, and growth on second sets seems to be picking up...(coincidence? IDK) -No concrete plans on methods and training I'll be using on Dutchy. I know that I will be using GHE series on her and finishing up the remaining product I have left w/ them. If I run out, I will substitute with Green Planets Trio and Humic/Fulvic acid additive. -This will be slow folks. Until I figure out some things and implement the new schedule I worked out, I really don't know what or where these girls will be in the next couple weeks. Completely touch and go at the moment. I have faith that it'll be alright....just losing time and lots of it. They're not dead, so there's that!😃 Thanks for dropping by folks. I have been pretty complacent with keeping up on my growmies journals and I apologize😕. I'm in a weird head space and trying to stay busy/positive. Not nearly as active on here as I usually am, so if I haven't dropped by for awhile, it's not you...tis me. I'm going to keep updating my journals but I may be quite absent for a bit. When I'm well enough to actually focus I will be happy to catch up on everyone's projects and ladies👍. Have a great week all and please! take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I'll be doing the same. Much love my friends😉👊 P.S: HA! BTW, I'm so bored I starting growing catnip for my cat and a couple other things. you'll see it in the last picture. Unfortunately, it's not cannabis, haha. But I am hoping to transfer my cannabis grow knowledge and get into vegetables. Built a raised garden bed last year and I'm going to germinate and sow all my seeds before moving outside, just like Grandpa did👍.
