Day 8 (6/24) - Nothing new to report today everything seems to be going well and coming along on time. I started adding CalMag to the water, I also started PHing it to approximately 6.5. I think I’m going to start doing daily updates because the plants have been growing more noticeably each day. Day 9 (6/25) - Its been warmer lately and the plants are drinking well so today I started giving the. CP a little bit more water. Things are still going smoothly and I’m enjoying watching over the plants. Day 10 (6/26) - Happy Double-Digit Day to my very first plant 🎉🎊🎉!!! The Critical Purple is looking good! I’m happy that I’ve made it this far and that the plants have made it this far. Slow and steady wins the race. I’m going to have to start doing daily updates because it’s growing faster now. It’s only going to get more exciting from here. I’ve been slowly increasing the light % daily and tomorrow will be its first day at 100%. Day 12 (6/28) - First! I’ve noticed some discoloring on the leaves on top so I moved the light up about an inch and turned them back down to about 90%. I’ve been having trouble keeping the temperature in the garden because it’s been so hot the last couple of days. I’ve got three fans in there going right now: one on light, one tall oscillating, and one pushing hot air out of tent (bottom portion of door is unzipped). I’m planning to buy a portable AC for the garden next week but can’t afford anything big or nice. Any recommendations on how to keep the temperature down? Day 13 - Added a humidifier. Both plants are doing well

I have discoloring on the top leaves of the plant. It started today and I think it has to do with the lights, so I‘ve turned them down and moved them up about 1-2 inches. Can anyone confirm if I’ve diagnosed it correctly and if not what the issue might be. Thanks.

I don't think it's to do with the light. Looks slightly pale, try upping your nutes /ppm slightly should be around 400/500 for this stage. And yes decease your ph to around the 6.2 mark and you may see some difference. You'll want to increase your humidity some how, I believe your leaves look like they're clawing up which suggest lack of moisture in the air. 🌱👍

These two plants were planted and germinated at the same time. The Kush XL (larger one) looks like it’s going to take a few weeks longer than the Critical Purple. What are the chances they can be harvested together?

Good. You'll end up with one that will knock you out and another that will energize you. Not a terrible thing if you ask me.

This is so exciting to see it in week 8 now, with trichomes and all! I'm ten days behind yours with the same Critical Purple Auto from Growers Chose so it's awesome to get a feel for where mine will be before it gets there. Yours is looking super healthy and the buds swelling pretty fast too between day 46 and 48.

@nhcowboy, thanks, I’ve been trying to keep up with the diary but some days get away from me. I’m using all organic materials including dry amendments for top dressing and I’ve only fed once. I really like the results so far, all I have to do is water with Calmag PHed.

I can't wait to see all the big buds on that plant-big and tall, and the trichome pics-gets real exciting now even more so.

@nhcowboy, I’m excited to see the buds get bigger and to hopefully see some interesting colors.

I'm loving this grow journal. I started one too and mine is only ten days behind yours so it’s really helpful to see where mine will be and if I'm doing alright. 👍😀

@nhcowboy, thanks. It was difficult to find journals that showed progress of the plant and also kept everything up to date so I wanted to make sure I stayed in top of it so others could have something to follow haha

Your Critical Purple looks beautiful, Darth! I grow outdoors (on my flat roof) and my plants are much slower-growing than yours. Keep up the great work; I'm looking forward to the daily updates, if you're able to do that. misterb

@misterb, I may not write everyday but I’ll at least try to upload a picture every day. I always struggled to find detailed pictures of a grow just to get an idea of grow rate! So I want to give it a try
