Week 1: I was really surprised with just how quick these lil girls started growing. One of the Moby Dick stretched a little bit but I built the soil up around her and she seemed happy. All in all I was very happy with my first week she was fed root juice and water for the first week.

Week 3: Started the LST on day 21. All of the plants showed their sex this week and luckily all were female. Half way through week 3 the LSD-25 and both Moby Dick went into early flower, so near the end of the week a tiny amount of bloom nutes were added. The LST was adjusted regularly and unfortunately on the 26th day the main stem of the LSD-25 was partially snapped, although it was fixed quickly with some tape and bracing and seemed to bounce back quickly (a day or two).

Week 4: All plants except for the Northern Lights started flowering this week and entered the "stretch" phase of growth. I was happy enough with the LST I had done previously and continued to tie down the lower sites to get the shape I wanted. All except the NL put on about 20% of their size compared to the end of week 3.

Week 5: My new light arrived halfway through the week and thankfully so, buds were starting to appear and the 120W blurpe wasn't cutting it anymore. Some serious size and weight was being put on the plants and the NL began to go into flower. Unfortunately the LSD showed some signs of nitrogen toxicity (dark green, clawed leaves) which I caught late, and it seemed a bit stunted. One of the Moby Dicks also showed signs of N toxicity on the newer growth so all grow nutrients were cut. The last of the LST was adjusted on the NL and I'm very happy with the shape I've achieved with both of them.
