Started germination on 7/5/20. Used the paper towel method that is recommended by Growers Choice. I'm doing 3 tangerine dream and 2 cream. Broke ground on 7/8/20 Day 3 had bucket heads and membranes on all 4 plants. i was able to remove them using tweezers and water without issue Day 4 and 5 both days received water. Spraying PH'd water from a spray bottle. Day 6 and 7 saw some good growth on TG 1 and CR 1, the other 2 are very slow growing. Im seeing some dark tips on TG 1/CR 1 which i'm thinking is just signs from the hot soil (FF ocean mix)

Day 8-11- 3 of the 4 are growing quickly, the runt is healthy but small. i am seeing nutrient burn on TG 1 and CR 1, i assume this is still from the hot soil. i water daily, but not alot yet. im going to start going heavier and water every other day. No nutes until week 4, just distilled water (<20 TDS) with a PH target of 6.5 Day 12-14- TG 2 is still small, showing very small progress. I plan to move these outside on day 16, and we should see some good growth then. some nute burn on CR 1 still, but im sure it will come around with some good watering. still using distilled water at 17 ppm TDS and 6.2-6.5 PH

Moved the plants outside on Day 15. They are showing a small amount of heat stress by the tips curling in the heat of the day, but they relax and look good outside of 11am-4pm. No nutes yet, ill wait another week or so to add any. I'm going to give the plants a good amount of water tonight, as the soil is dry all the way through right now. They look very healthy otherwise. Good growth this week. i tried some LST on TG1, and both Cream plants as they stretched quite a bit. I really want to get my fox farm nutrient trio going, but i think ill wait a few more days.

I performed LST yesterday and the plants have already stood up, and i feel i should tie them back down. I dont want to stress them out too much, but they have responded positively thus far. Any thoughts?

Hello You start fairly young, and then it is an ongoing process the whole grow basically until mid flowering when it's finished it's stretch and is focused primarily on making buds...but even then you will usually have to tie the branches to bamboo stakes for support etc. So i would check your lst everyday or every 2-3 days. The branches want to escape out of your bondage, they're reaching the light etc so they'll continue trying to grow and you'll have to continue to tie and retie often.👍

Day 22- Reset my LST as they have already grown out of my wires. Im a bit weary of these phenos at the moment, they are all height and not growing much vegetation. Im going to start nutes around day 25 and see if we can get some more veg out of them. Day 23- Added 2TSP/Gal of fox farm big bloom, being organic and low NPK i wanted to get this going asap. The plants arent showing any issues except for being very long stemmed, they are now starting to shorten the distance between nodes after LST. Day 24- Rain and more LST, trying to get the bottom internodes some sunlight and get them to pop. Day 25- More rain, plants are pretty water logged. hopefully they can dry out over the next few days. I bent the stem on CR 1 trying to LST it some more so i unhooked it to let it heal Day 26- CR 1 is doing great, its starting to get stiff so i might have to let it be and it wont get LST. we will see tomorrow. Hopefully the plants dry out over the next few days and we can give them some more nutes. Day 27 and 28 - released TG 2 and CR 1 from LST. TG 2 seems stunted compared to the others, so i wanted to remove all stress. CR 1's bent stem has healed and is growing very quickly

I water the plants with distilled water, ph'd at 6.2 and I add 1/2 tsp per gal of calimagic. This is happening on one old growth leaf on 2 plants.

From the looks of it, it looks like a leaf dying from not getting enough light which is completely normal. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing".

This week was alot of budding, a small amount of veg growth. Ive been fighting with caterpillars, and have been successful in warding them off. The buds are getting thicker, and they plants dont seem to be stretching too much. Its been very hot this week, but it doesnt seem to affect the plants too much.

Another good week, no big issues to report. saw some calcium deficiencies on TG 2, but other than that they are fine. All of the plants are pretty small, they didnt stretch and arent very big. Ill be surprised if they end up with a half ounce per plant.
