Overthinker

Minou Welcome to my second diary! This time, I'll be growing 4 plants in my tent instead of two. Since I'm very eager to try new strains, I chose to go with 4 completely new strains I have never tried before. After some research, I settled for White Widow Blue Dream Girl Scout Cookies and, last but not least Northern Lights I'm very excited to apply everything I've learnt during my first grow to this one and hope you'll have a great time looking through this diary!

Minou The plants are looking really solid so far! I've been watering them a bit less recently, since I noticed they don't even seem to need that much water, and I'd rather wait until they droop, before over-watering them. I'm also currently debating what kind of training I wanna do on those plants. I've thought about trying out Topping, but I've also seen people go crazy and top their plants, do LST, defoliation, etc. Since these are autos, I probably want to stay with 1-2 training techniques, so that the plants have enough time to adapt before they start to flower. If you have any ideas what might work well on these, please let me know!

Minou I was really unsure if I should try out topping this grow and figured I'd have to at least try it to see how it'll go. But I have to say, I was surprised to see how quickly the plant adapted to the changes and started directing it's energy elsewhere. Because my soil is only pre-fertilized for around 2 weeks, I will be starting to feed them tiny doses and see how they react to that, as soon as week 4 comes around.

Minou This week has not been very spectacular. Topping the plants was probably a mistake, and I should've stayed with LST. They are really small and 2 of them (Blue Dream and GSC) are already flowering.

Minou This week has been starting out quite badly. 3 of my plants show signs of deficiencies, or at least they don't look healthy. I have yet to figure out what their problem is and how to help them.
