Okay, so this is my 2nd or 3rd attempt at a journal here. I would definitely recommend some changes to the way we input info. You can add multiple strains, but only 1 height reading. You cannot add multiple environments for veg. I have them germinating in a smaller tent under Fluorescents, but will move them into a cabinet under the Kind LED. I wish I could record all of this without it changing permanently. I had some issues with seeds, but I just got this Durban Poison to germinate and it is growing along side a Best Coast - "Seat's Taken", a freebie Reggie from Seedsman and possibly another Dutch Passion Durban. I will just keep the journal for the Durban poison though for simplicity. I will try to keep other plants out of the pics. I am growing in coco, mixed with perlite, worm castings and Dr. Earths dry amendments. I will possibly add some other dry amendments, but for now that is all. I will also use some Great White and Recharge. The seedlings are currently in coco w/ perlite and no amendments. Will amend lightly in about a week. I will update this on Friday evenings, and the weekly journal will actually be for the beginning of that "week"

I'm pretty late on this week's entry, sorry. So, I moved her into the final space, under stronger lights. I gave a light top dressing with Dr. Earth's 4-4-4. I am still struggling with over-watering. I feel like the coco dries out quickly and then I water. I need to work on that. Nothing else really going on. Just trying to keep her alive.

Yup raise the light, can’t undertand if your stem is purple or is the light. Maybe you have to give them some extra calmag with led, but not sure, for sure raise or dim a light a little bit. ✌️🏽

Raise your light a few inches just to be safe, if the pale colouring Appears on new Growth you know it’s something more serious a deficiency of some sort which you would have to look into further to diagnose hope this could be a help to you, happy growing pal good luck 👌🏻

Well, this week I left my iphone on the side of my truck and drove away without realizing it. I ended up smashing the screen and had to get it replaced. I thought it was all good, but my main camera is not working, so these pics are taken with the front facing camera. I apologize if the quality is not as good. These cell pots have been drying out quickly, so I am struggling with finding a balance between over and under watering. The gnats are already showing up in force, so I am thinking that I may be over-watering. I have also introduced Recharge into my watering this week as well. I just topped the plant yesterday at the 5th node. Therefore, the height reading will be a little lower than the true height. Please let me know if you see any issues. I do see red/purple stems. I wonder if it is a lockout due to over-watering or maybe a cal/mag deficiency? I noticed there was some curling of the leaves, mostly on the sides. I raised the light up 3-4 inches. let's see how it goes.

Does it look like I am over-watering? I feel like the coco is bone dry when I water them.

before you water pick up your pot, now next time you water, water until there is a small run off, pick the pot up, remember the weight, now check every other day, as you want to maintain the weight of the pot after it has been watered through the whole grow. that is a great strain as well. hope this helps and the plant looks good

Sorry for taking pics under the light. forgot to take them before I got them into the Radicle Bags and back in the closet. Had some issues with the plant this week. Think it may have been root-bound or I have a PH issue. I had left the Recharge sitting in the water can for too long and I think it created some issues. See what happens after the transplant
