Fruit by the 4ft

Transplanted into ffhf soil that was mixed with 25% perlite and dynomyco. Also sprinkled some dynomyco in the seedling hole. Have the fan set to run at 75f and above. Grow light is set to veg. Watering ph balance water, one gallon each half a gallon 3 days apart. The pineapple haze is 2.25 inches the strawberry is 3.5 in. Humidity is lower than I would like but not sure how to increase since we have a humidifier in the tent.

Topped the strawberry when it had 6 nodes. Topped it to the 3rd node, a day later did the same with the pineapple. Still watering with rain water and after I topped each I did half a cup of worm tea just for a little boost. Working at getting humidity up by spraying down the tent 2 to 3 times a day currently. Only doing it while I can.

Topped both plants last week and this week finished trimming them to mainline. Grew each of the new colas to have 4 node sites. Topped to the 3rd node and removed the second node site. Now have 8 cola sites. The pineapple haze is about 4 days behind the strawberry cough. Strawberry cough strain is growing very easy and reacts to pruning amazing. Found out haze strains may grow slower which we will just have to be aware of in the future. The pineapple haze had a slight mutation on a leaf not having all 5 of the fan leaf but it is only on one, keeping an eye on her for any other issues. Added nutrients to watering, only 1 gallon a week per plant right now given over two watering cycles. Realize at the second watering I should ph balance after I add the nutrients, luckily the first watering didn't seem to throw it too far off. Also giving each plant some worm tea between waterings (mostly because we have it from the worm farm in the kitchen) Changed the presets on the lights to full veg which increase the light intensity. The color of the leaves are an incredible dark green.

This week we spent working on getting her ready for the switch to flower lights. Depending on week five I might make the switch next week or the following depending how much growth they show. The pineapple haze is growing slow and still throwing some deformed leaves but she looking strong and the deformity looks to be genetics and not anything won't in the tent. This strawberry cough is a dream, she's growing like a weed, literally, every day I'm adjusting the branches because they grow another inch. Feeding them thrive and calcium from General organics but might start adding bloom to the watering to get ready for the switch. Still throwing about a pint of worm tea between the two each week between watering.

Last week in flower it's been about 7 weeks since putting the seed in soil, plants in the shape I want. Switching my Kind LED xl750 into flower preset, which is a different spectrum of light mixed with 12 on 12 off light cycle. Also changed the sensor to run the fan as soon as humidity gets over 50 RH and run until 40RH (relative humidity) to avoid any bud rot. Not positive that is the best method vs prioritizing temp but temp sits at 68 at it's lowest anyway.

First week of flower, plants getting taller and starting to smell a tiny bit. Might have done too heavy a feeding of bloom nutrients should have gone with a light feeding but they take all the nutes I give her but I do see just the faintest signs of what I think is bite burn.

Missed the last two weeks but it's been a lot of trouble shooting. The nutrient burn was spot on, after two weeks where I flushed the plant by just feeding water but not removing any runoff (will do this in the future) the soul kept getting bogged down with nutrients, specifically for the strawberry cough. The pineapple haze didn't have the nutrient burn but it did start getting a little too high in the nutrient burn.I went to local hydroponic store they recommended recharge and Herculean harvest to try and do a fish. I didn't realize how nutrient-heavy the soil was luckily these plants can handle it I finally got a PPM meter and also a pH meter digital and took readings of the runoff and we were nearly at 4,000 for strawberry cough which is almost double where it should be at this point. that told me we needed to flush it so I got some RO water just now and ran about 4 gallons through each one The PPMs are well below where they should be now and I feel a lot better now that I've learned more. I'm going to just let them sit for maybe about a day and do a light feeding in a day or two from now it doesn't seem like I've hurt the plant too much The pineapple haze is doing just fine she's a little stunted but that makes sense she probably got too much nitrogen and that stunted her growth same with the strawberry cough and I think that's why we saw a slowdown in their growth and also water uptake. One new thing I learned is that a lot of nutrients use salt as the as the binding element to get nutrients into the plant and the plant, just like all things pee it out and end up putting salt in the soil, obviously the plant can't move so the salt builds up around the root base and that's why it flushes important because you literally need to flush your plants toilet for them. over feeding them only makes this worse because now they're salt with nutrients and salt in their urine byproducts. Plants stall out and starts showing signs of nutrient deficiencies which then you overfeed like a schmuck and only hurt it more. it looks like I caught this in time there's only slight damage on the leaves which look almost like a calcium deficiency on the strawberry cough plant only. I think my next feed I'm going to do a bio-thrive bloom with a little bit of the Herculean harvest which is a 0-6-0 but uses calcium instead of salt which is also going to help the calcium deficiency and then also feed it a heavy feeding of calcium to get the nutrients in the soil back up. if I was to redo the grow I would plan for at least 3 to 4 flushes maybe every 3 weeks especially if I'm doing heavy feedings now that I understand what a flush actually does. there's also another product called sledgehammer by I believe Fox farms that helps strip out all the nutrients in the soil when you do a flush for this exact purpose so you can go right back to feeding.Right now we're going to just monitor the plants for a little bit and if they have to linger in flour that's okay. Herculean harvest also has phosphorus which will help with the flowering and bulking.

I'll start with the good news The pineapple haze seems to be doing fine if a little stunted but seems to be loving everything I'm doing. Here's the bad news The strawberry cough I have no clue what's going on. I thought I over nutrients fed it and I tried to flush it and the PPM still weren't low enough. Then I tried another flush with a cell phone 100 and recharge and Herculean harvest that didn't do anything then I tried just FLS and fish s*** and I made everything worse. So if it's some type of nutrient deficiency I gave it a little of all the nutrients that we had so I gave it a little bit of calcium a little bit of her clean hero a little bit of bloom which it hasn't gotten and quite some time A little bit of fish s***and also recharge my hope is that because I flushed it so much that with all these little bits of nutrients it will still one of them will fix it. The PPM reading feeding the plant was 1300 the runoff was 2370. Fingers crossed I don't kill her
