CBD Kush - A GD first

BonBonBotanist CBD Kush - Dutch Passion 1:1 CBD/THC ratio https://www.amsterdamseedcenter.com/en/dutch-passion-cbd-kush-feminised This is my first attempt at growing. I'm currently growing 3 CBD Kush and 2 Treasure Island (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/8634-treasure-island-feminised-high-cbd). I would appreciate advice and suggestions as I still have a lot to learn. I primed the seeds for about 12 hours before germinating them in a humidity dome. The plants are now in a foil wrapped banana box with a fan and a 88W fluorescent bulb (1200 lumen). Hopefully, they'll be nice and cosy in a grow box under 600W by the end of week 2.

BonBonBotanist Day 8: After reading about pests, I have researched companion plants so I have placed a pot of peppermint next to the plants. Marigolds will be next. Day 9: Peppermint has repelled black flies. More updates to come later this week.

BonBonBotanist Still signs of new growth however the leaves are slightly droopy and "white stains" have appeared. Not looking too healthy compared to the Treasure Island girls (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/8634-treasure-island-feminised-high-cbd) even though both are growing in the same environment and receiving the same treatment. Any clues what may be causing this?

BonBonBotanist Hans Ledlite panel was delivered last week. The extra lumens should do a world of good. Update: A little worried with one of the girls. Not sure what's causing damage. This is a no nute grow so far, might be the cause? Repotted and ready for week 5.

BonBonBotanist Guess who's back. Finally took the time to update my diary after 7 weeks of chaos. The girls have grown nicely. They were topped and defoliated a few weeks back, the leaves and stems were decarboxylated and were used to make butter and tea. Up potted one to a 50L airpot, she'll be left outside when the other two are kicked into flowering. I'm thinking of taking some cuttings this week so if anyone has advice, I'm all ears.

BonBonBotanist One of the girls has been in flowering for a week. The other two are still vegetating. Some LST and defoliation to be done this week.

BonBonBotanist —

BonBonBotanist Still only one of the girls in flowering, buds are starting to fill out. Does she need a bit more defoliation? Other two are still growing slowly but surely. The cutting has healthy new growth. Once the grow room is free, I may take some more to grow through the winter
