Just water, I will not amend the soil until Saturday or sunday.
they are getting much more thirsty. Watered after they woke up yesterday about .4-.5 gallons of 6.3ph RO and this morning they already need to be watered, night starts at 11 so ill water at 3 when they wake up, .5 gallons or more, I have been very cautious with watering ensuring to not overwater, I will go a bit heave tonight to se how they respond.
Surprisingly, the GG and the GSC, the 2 smaller plants, seem to be drinking more than the Gelato. Just an observation.
Still haven't started to train, just letting them get a bit bigger before bend them over. the nodes are so close right now I do not see any benefit, plus I am a little weary at their size that I may hurt them. Patience is necessary.

Well, Here are the girls at Day 21. All seem healthy, the GG still smalls but she is still growing so I cannot complain.
GSC is BEAUTIFUL, and perfect for LST today. I was able to open up a lot of good light. Topping did not seem to slow down anything with this girl, I think she is going to be the best of the 3 of you were to ask me now.
Gelato is a bush, the notes are so close. I rally cannot LST much yet as the branches are still a bit short to really move far. Where I FIMM'ed looks perfect, I think I will have 4 really nice healthy tops from it.
Of course everything above could be in vain. Up until today, after their 4 hours of sleep, I have done nothing but water with 6.3ph RO. Well these girls were amended for the first time this evening. I am only using Fox Farms for this entire grow, and if I am successful I do not see any reason to switch for a while. I am using the All Purpose, Fruit and Flower and Cavern Culture.
I did get some Organic Worm Castings Locally so they are not FF.
I really how I do not hurt them with this feeding, I watered the very well after and I will keep a close eye on them to see how they respond over the next couple weeks.
Hopefully I will Up the Fruit and Flower, add a touch more Caver Culture, and backk off the ALL Purpose a bit next feeding as we should be into early flowering by the next time they need it, i'm thinking in about 3 weeks. But I will listen to them and see what they say.
Yeah these are looking good for the 1st week of growth.
I think it’s a good idea to try diff stuff out for training.. I’ve grown several of the ILGM autos and I guarantee you’ll enjoy it! I got a few going myself right now I’m trying different techniques on.
Good luck!!
Looking great man! I just started a couple of months ago hydro but I use ILGM so I wanted to see how his other strains performed since I added a mix pack to my collection. Slow and steady is definitely the way to go haha. don't be afraid to beat these things up too if you are trying new techniques. I was ASTONISHED at how fast they bounce back and often felt like the ones I destroyed came back stronger than the lightly trained ones. Im still sure I dont Fim correctly though hahahahaha. keep it up man :).
