Week 1 was a learning curve on the amount of water to give & when. I'm getting more confident in the setup, but won't be relieved until it's harvested and in the jar. Lol

Everything has been going pretty well with the plants this week. I've been watering everyday with a couple shot glasses worth of water, but pot would dry out every morning. Day 13 I decided to give the soil a good saturation so there isn't any dry spots in the soil. LSD still looks lighter green compared to the Gelato and NL. Not sure if it's just the difference in strains or what...let me know.

Perfectly fine and nothing to worry about. She will grow normally. Please don't be tempted to feed or give her "something", at this early age she is still "sorting herself out", trying to get a handle on life. Your soil should have enough goodness in it to support healthy life for at least 3-4 weeks, if it is of decent quality. Any ferts or chemical "remedies" you might give her will just freak her out. "Leave her and let her grow" would be my advice. Hope this helps..... Organoman.

Plants look really good so far, been a pretty chill week. I've just watered until soil was fully saturated every 48 hours or so. Then on day 20 I started their LST'ing since I don't have a bunch of overhead space to let them grow naturally. LSD is the most vigorous grower of the bunch, already smelling a bit like chocolate, Northern Lights is floral/fruity with really bushy growth everywhere. Gelato is already showing pistils so I think it's gonna flower a lil earlier than the other two. See ya next week!

Did a lot of LST this week to get help the foundation set up evenly. Applied my first dry top dressing on day 27, ratio listed above. Other than that, just watering when dry and they've been good.

Plants seemed to be fine with the nutrients given last week. Defoliated a lil bit of the lower branches throughout the week that were getting light green and blocking bud sites. Plants got the last of their LST until harvest on day 33, seems to have been pretty effective but we'll have to wait till harvest to really tell.

4 days ago I tested my PH in my reservoir after not checking it for a week and it was 7.5. The LSD is a little light so not sure if it had a bit of lockout or she's stil hungry. Threw in some calmag into their water just in case. Either way I'm not too worried, going to hit them with 'Recharge' on Monday and re amend next week & keep on pushing. Peace.

Throughout the week I top dressed each with 3 tbsp of dry fert and more super soil. Giving em cal mag water also just because my other set of plants want it as well. Bit of discoloration throughout the canopy, since these girls only got 3-4 weeks left I'm not worried. Might try a different combo of dry ferts with a higher P/K for flowering since they went through veg no prob. Got another cycle of Mephisto illuminautos on week 1 so I'll post those for my next grow. Think the Gelato will be ready to be pulled in 1-2 weeks and the NL/LSD in 3-4. peace

Harvesting my first plant was fun. It was like seeing your first born graduate 😄 She did good and keep it easy on me. Trimming took forever considering the amount of bud I had, but it looks really good in the end. peace

Just been watering! Trich are mostly cloudy, going to let them go till week 10 then i'll chop em both down and start drying/trimming. NL is more of a piney, floral smell while the LSD is has a chocolate aroma with a faint underlying skunk aroma. Both plants are very dense now so the weight should be more on point with these plants. Until next week with the harvest, peace
