First grow. From clones.

11/29/2020 6:56pm Plants are getting taller every day. Have had them on a consistent watering schedule. Have not been really messing with fertilizer as the soil i bought already had nutrients in it. I have a new liquid fertilizer, equivalent to Fox Farm's grow big but a different company. Will likely try using very small amounts mixed in with watering this week. Will see how things go. Currently happy with my system of ~4oz of water per plant every other day. Will likely change as plants get bigger. I also installed one more 32watt LED grow light as there was room for it in the tent and it was recommended. Hopefully that helps speed up growth. Been rotating plants around to make sure they're getting an even amount of light on all sides. If anyone wants to give grow advice at this stage I am open to it. I probably need to train the GG #4 as it is growing kinda wild, but honestly I kind of like it like that so we will see. Have never trained a plant before but doesn't seem too difficult. Think that's it for this week. New light is the big thing. Will update as I make changes. Documentation is kind of important I guess 🙃 --------------- 11/30/2020 9:07pm Think I need to start watering earlier or at least the same time every day. Holy Grail Kush is drooping a bit up top. The GG is still by far the largest plant. Anyway, watered 4oz for the NSM and the PV plants. Gave the GG ~5oz and the Holy Grail Kush around 3oz. Added the new 32w light and they seem to be responding well. 12/3/2020 8:11pm Everyone has been watered with 4oz of water. Just trying not to over water as this schedule of every other day or so seems to be working. I think I found a major contributor to some of my plants getting mysteriously ill (lost 3 plants). It was suggested, but pretty sure it is lack of airflow at night or during the day. I try to save money on electricity by limiting the use of my heater, but left it off all day while at work and one of my plants that is prone to stress, the North Shore Maui, showed severe signs of what I'm guessing is stress (almost dying is stress right?). As soon as I got home and found it wilting, I quarantined and gave it a little water, got some air flow going , and it perked back up. I left the fan on in the ac unit for a few days at work and haven't been having the same problems. That plant is still not doing great, but it is doing better. Am thinking about when I should switch to a flowering cycle. Six weeks in and clones are still vegging. I don't have the best setup or the best lights so that is probably a big contributor to slow growth.... but they're getting there. Need to do more homework. Temp in the grow tent is a solid 72 now and RH is 30%. They seem to like the new light for the most part. Uploaded some more pics. ‐----‐------- 12/4/2020 9:30pm Decided to give liquid fertilizer another shot. The North Shore Maui, which is now displaying some brown leaves, is in my kitchen sink for the time being. I don't know if this is smart or not but I have reason to believe due to past mistakes that if one plant is having a rough time like this it can either spread to others or it is lime a canary in a coal mine. I think I have some nuts issues in general, and possible genetic/sanitation issues from the source i get my cuttings from. Possibly sanitation issues in my own environment too, says the guy who has a plant in his kitchen sink. Mixed about a pea size amount (ok maybe a tiny bit more) with 4 oz if water and watered the North Shore Maui. If it clears up the issues with the leaves, I will try it on another plant that is otherwise healthy but might be showing early signs of trouble (GG #4 has a couple leaves at the bottom that are dying off into the soil - she is do huge though she might be wanting to flower. Who knows. Lord knows I don't). Anyway, gonna keep it in the sink for the night. Gomna make sure there is good air flow in both the apartment and in the grow tent. Here's hoping it will be successful and clear out my issues. One more thing - she has rooted in this soil, but not the aggressive, into the pot type of rooting I've seen in other plants. Maybe a genetic/strain thing as im growing 4 different strains in one tent. She just isn't rioting down as much as I would like. I want to pull the stem and feel more resistance - as of now she comes out easily (not something I tried to do, though I did repot her at one point). Usual disclaimer: I am very inexperienced and am making the most educated guesses I can based on what others on these forums have said and other articles I've read on the internet. Getting a feel for it but at some point I hope to get able to truly diagnose issues rather than just making a best guess. Confidence will come in time I hope, and hopefully not the foolish type. I dunno it's Friday night and aside from these plants and possibly a few spiders, I am alone. I just want to make sure I am doing my best for the only other living things in my apartment.
