First Gorilla Grow (photoperiod)

Welcome back. It's been a busy week but the girls are looking mostly healthy. I have added identifiers to the plants so that I can keep track. 4= Holy Punch, 5 = Gelat OG, and 6 = Wedding Cake. I am sad to report that the Wedding Cake did not germinate. Sorry Barney's! To my regret, I mistakenly only ordered one of these seeds so who knows what may have happened. Based on my overall germination between this journal and my parallel auto flower journal, 14/16 seeds germinated, I think it is likely that this was just a case of nature not working. I still have a trio of Barney's Mimosa EVO that I will probably save for an indoor grow, unless someone out there can convince me otherwise! I have only watered these girls lightly 2x this week. Once I added the Roots Excelurator and the second watering I added the Mega Crop to the same solution as the Roots Excelurator. I pH each solution to 5.9 The plants are kept outside during the day and inside at night at ambient room temperature. I'm no longer using the heat mat or humidity dome. The plants are supplemented with 3-4 additional hours of light when I bring them inside, usually around 6:30 pm, to provide an average of 15 hours of light per day. Right now my goal is to encourage as much root growth as possible and to provide as much outdoors time as possible each day. I will maintain this routine for another week or so or until I decide they are ready for the permanent transition outdoors. I would also like to run a few trials with LST and ScrOG on these girls to realize for myself any benefit to the each of these techniques. That's about it for now. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions that may improve my grow! Thanks for stopping by.
