What’s good?!
Week 4 has come and gone and the plants are all growing nicely.
So far I haven’t run into any problems, and I’m hoping to keep it that way the rest of the way.
The babies weren’t stretching as much as I wanted them to so I raised the lights a little bit at the end of week 3. I’m already seeing really good results, all 6 plants have already stretched to my liking. 3/6 of these baby girls are started to show they’re 7th set of leaves so I decided that this week I would do my first round of topping. I’m not going to lie, topping for the first time is pretty nerve racking, I can’t wait until I see the first signs of new growth.
I’m going to wait a few days before topping the remaining 3 plants, right now they are at 6 nodes still.
So far I’ve been watering as I see the soil begin to appear pretty dry, but I think I’m going to start water more thoroughly but less often and see if that makes any difference. I want to try and keep the soil from getting too dry from now on.
This week I used a mixture of Real Growers Recharge and Root Magic Mycorrhiza + Microbes in the water mid week. So far the use of mainly those two ingredients in my water once or twice a week seems to have given me pretty good results. Or at least it hasn’t seemed to have any negative affects.
I think week 5 I will be top dressing with fertilizer. A grower that I follow said this; “Liquid nutes feed the root system, and fertilizer feeds the microbes in the soil.” And that makes sense to me.
Week 5 is about to begin and I can’t wait to see the results of week 4 to show.
Thanks for checking in y’all!
