Pineapple Express

On day 1 I soaked the rapid rooters in distilled water with 1/tbsp fox farm root drench and microbrew. Sat the rooters in empty solo cups for two days Day three moved them to solo cups with roots organic soil Day 4 the first plant popped out of the soil. The next day the second plant followed. On day 5 I accidentally knocked both rapid rooters out of the soil cups. I used that chance to apply great white mychorizzae to the tap roots which were exposed. I then replanted the rooters I soil as of right now both plants are showing steady growth

Didn't do much to the plants this week after putting them in the clear cups at the end of last week. I sprinkled great white when I moved the plants to the cups. And have been watering with plain distilled water I transplanted again to the 5 gal fabric pots at end of the week. I used great white and stump tea sprinkled on roots when transplanted.

Didn't take alot of pictures this week. The plants seem to have slowed down growth after transplant. I was worried I might have a deficiency as one of the plants was showing discoloration on the bottom leaves. I first checked my ph. It was coming back at around 7.5 using my cheap soil ph meter . I tested some run off with my ph water quality tester and got readings between 6.9 and 7.3. I adjusted the ph of my water mixture to 5.8. After one watering the plants responded well , they had alot of new growth and the discoloration was gone. I watered one more time with lowered ph mix then resumed watering with distilled water at around 6.0

So I was planning on only using LST and defoliation this grow. However I accidentally topped my smallest plant when untying the string I used for LST. Ce la Vie. Moving forward I will be very carefull with the plants. So far the making plant is responding well to the LST I even felt comfortable removing some of the bigger leaves. The Topped plant is recovering nicely. I watered both with distilled water and fox farms microbe brew. Will add some big grow and big bloom next watering.

Well after having to adjust ph down a bit , I decided to add some stump tea, which is basically weak compost tea you can use as top dress. I also decided to add in some fresh roots organic soil. The larger plant has responded well. The smaller plant which I accidentally snapped the second main cola off of has grown but not as much as the larger plant. I feel like the smaller plant may be developing nitrogen toxicity because the leaves are dark and shiny. However they are not curling in or burnt on the edges

Having a battle with my soil ph which is at 7.3 (down from7.8) I have been watering with water in the 4.5- 5 ph range since the soil ph is so high. I am also having nitrogen issues . I stopped feeding a last week. I added a bit of top soil to the plant which might have added more nutrients making it worse. I am going to do s flush and see If things improve.

Flush week. Didn't take notes this week mostly left the plants alone. Cut off any LST ties. Realized I had stuffed growth a bit by the way I had tied them down

Flush week no nutes. Going to chop next week Week 8 I started using general hydro ph perfect line and my plants responded better to that than they had the fox farms trio all grow. Might switch to that moving forward. I need to take it easy with training because I am stunting the plants. Overall this was a learning experience both plants came out smaller than average and smaller than I expected.

Very good looking and smelling flowers. Only down side was my yields were garbage. I trained one plant to the point it slowed growth and the other plant had a main branch snap so I lost most of the bud sites.
