So the pH was actually at 5.0. Discovered it on day 5 when I got my Apera meter. Yikes.
She handled my noobs mistake quiet well, made me believe I was ok, but won't be doing that to her again.
I probably stunted the growth for a day with overwatering and low pH. However, other than knowing the day after I watered with low pH (5.0) I washed it out with pH 6.3, I didn't see any really signs.
Day 11: Transplanted into 3gal. Sprinkled some Great White under and around the pod, and since the Coco/Perlite (60:40) was on its way to bone dry, I hit it with @12floz of nutes/water with some molasses. Moved the lights to 20hr and 22inches.
Day 12: I think she looks healthy. Trying to keep watering in check.
Day 12.2: Definitely made a rookie mistake and left the cap on the humidity sensor. What I thought was @55% was upwards of 80%! Oh man... Corrected the issue so hoping to see some improvement.
Day 13: pH is in check (day 1-5), Humidity is in check (day 10-12). Looking good to me, thoughts?
Over watering and bad pH started my week off a bit. We're back!
Day 15: Got a good rhythm to go about now I think. 24oz water and nutes to get back on track.
Day 16: Nothing, just a nice breeze and good looks.
Day 17: Nothing.
Day 18: Fed with 64oz of nutes water.
Day 18: Found my Dare ruler 🤘🏼
Day 19: Nothing
Day 20: Moist, might water tomorrow.
Day 21: Watered, checked my run off and it was >1600ppm. Ran @1/2gln of CalMag and FloraMicro at (300ppm) till ppm came to @600ppm and pH 5.7
Slight purple on top stems might be indication if Mag deficiency, and with the ppm so high I think it was the start of a lockout (?)
Will monitor.
Day 22: Nothing. Will up the nutes next.
Day 23: Nothing.
Day 24: Nothing.
Day 25: Fed with @600ppm pH 5.7
+ Added Humboldt roots as a fun experiment.
60oz, no runoff.
Day 26: Nothing.
Day 27: Raised the lights 4 inches.
Day 28: Fed with 90oz, got 30oz runoff.
Runoff pH 5.5 and ppm 1250.
Will probably do a plain water irrigation to bring the core ppm down if the coco.
Started this week off with a watering the day before. Hit it with 1ml surface dusting of GW and added some sugar GH FloraNectar Sugarcane.
Run off ppm is high, next feeding with be a fresh water irrigation.
Day 29: Nothing.
Day 30: Nothing.
Day 31: 1.25gln (pH 5.8 ppm 0)
🚰 Run-off: pH 5.6, ppm 675
Day 32: Foliar spray.
✂️ Removed largest fan leaves blocking other nodes.
🌿LST to bring lower branches out.
Day 33: @3/4gln (pH 5.8, ppm 0)
🚰 Runoff: pH 5.6 ppm 250
⏭️ Will be back on nutes next feeding.
Day 34: Nothing.
Day 35: 80oz (pH 5.8, 600 ppm)
🚰 Runoff: pH 5.9, ppm 350.
✂️ Defoliated largest, lowest, and blockers.
⏭️⏭️⏭️
Plan will be to feed once more for transition, then fresh water, then start feeding flower nutes.
One leaf has one blade corkscrewing. Other leaves appear to be in good health and no visual defects per se.
Not sure if it really matters, but I believe this was growing on the flank of a large fan leaf that was removed.
Hi,
I saw your grow diary and your plants look amazing other than the curled up leaves.
So Maybe bring the light 6” up and this help your leaves not to curled up.
Sometimes when it is too hot the leaves curled because they’re trying to conserved moisture. So if you bring the light up bit more, it will help the plants to conserved that moisture, also make sure your temp is below 80f. Too hot for the plants.
Hopefully this works for you.
Happy grow!!!!!
Thinking we'll be in flower this week. Going to start flower nutes next feeding.
Day 36: No Activity.
Day 37: 80oz(pH 5.9, ppm 575) w/touch of great white.

Definitely deep into Preflower. Several budsites are starting multiple pistil formations. Will flush next and start flower nutes.
Week 7: Flowering so nicely.
Need to clean some of the foliage off itself.
Will introduce flower nutes on day 44 or 45.
Continuing with General Hydroponics, KoolBloom, MaxBloom, FloraNectar, etc.

She's still stretching. Growth is staying steady, buds are nice little round snowballs.
Will increase nutes this week till she start leaving more behind.

Odd brown spots forming on fan leaves. Near bud sites on older leaves mainly.
Only affecting maybe 5 leaves total. Started within the last 6hrs.
Added an additional light @4hrs ago. Temp/RH are normal.
Hit it with a dose of Beastie Bloomz yesterday.
Phosphorus Deficiency?
I wouldn't worry my bet is that it droplets from your fertilizing left on the Leafs and your grow light burnt them. That Beastie Bloom is very potent stuff.
Keeping the same regimen as previous week.
Will start to flush soon.
Trichomes are beginning to cloud.
Starting to see more cloudy trichomes everyday.
Will start my flush next week.
Might start a 3rd seed soon. I guess, since I started before understanding, this was part of my learning stage. Like I said, day 14, I'm not losing hope, just realized I gave these ladies a less than optimal start.
