Used rapid rooters for germ and that proved to be a mistake as I lost the gorilla after it sprouted. I waited to long to transfer it to soil I believe. Starting a new one now via paper towel. Already invested into water only soil regimen but will be switching to Pro Mix HP with a custom nutrient blend for my next run. All 5 suffered from a short period where they were underwatered, maybe 8 hrs. As soon as I hit them with a sprayer they perked up with exception of gorilla which is now dead. Worried I need to scrap all 5 and start over from the stunt.

What constitutes a stunt when it's your first time out and have very little reference of a non stunted seedling? Attached pictures are 6 days from when I wet the seeds, 1 day after transfer to soil as I sprouted inside rapid rooters.

If she doesn't grow in leaf size at the first node, apart from the baby leaves, then its stunted, they should start out smaller than the baby leaves, then get to about the same size, then become bigger, and suposedly at this point a new set of leaves will start to come in, if after a week you have no second set of leaves, and if your plant is smaller than 2cm then its possibly stunted, but give it time and don't give up, i have one that was stunted, with weird leaf growth, and was stunted, i allowed for her to recover and get on its feet, she did and developed a mutation, this mutation may affect the cannabinoid profile, it may not but it can also happen, so im still growing her, and at this point she is the biggest plant in my sog, so much big i had to top her 3x already.

Running 2 spider farmer SF2000 quantum led boards in a 4x4. 30 inches above 5 plants. Having alot of conflicting information on light intensity. I'm only 7 days in from germ and some are telling me 40% max and others are telling me 100% from seedling to harvest.

I would run it with the instructions the manufacturer sent you, those guys u can trust. If they say run it at 100% at 30 inches for seedlings do it, if they say run it at 40% at 15 inches, well, do it then. These are not accurate numbers, just demonstrative. If they dont say jack, then go find the par maps and check at wich height u get the desired par, if u cant find par maps for all distances, install a lux meter, a bunch of those in play store, then compare the readings at the distance at wich you have specified at at par map and see if 1000 par will be the same as lets day 30000 lux in that light specifically, so if you get to 15000 lux you should be sitting at around 500 par, 7500 around 250 par, so by this logic with this imaginary light i would set it at 7500 lux height to be achieving around 250 par for my seedlings. I hope i wasnt too much confusing, short version is trust the manufacturer numbers buddy. Stay lit growmie.

Had some issues with fungus gnats this week. Also with splash on some leaves while feeding. I need to purchase a better watering device. I can't seem to get them watered without hitting leaves on the lowers. Man I hate gnats. Gelato seems to be the most rugged of the strains with Zkittles behind it.

Having spots show up on 3 of 6 plants as I push into flower. Not sure what it is as it matches photos for quite a few possibilities.

Still dealing with fungus gnats. Now I'm having spots show up on some leaves, I believe due to cal mag deficiency but not sure. Also noticed I have the claw on a few plants. I'm told it is nitrogen toxicity but I am using water only soil. So all I can do is back off on the Fish Sh!t because it increases nitrogen uptake. So I will go every other feed for now. Entered flower this week so that was exciting, but the gnats and such put a damper on things. Moved my lights closer to the plants when they hit flower. Performed some minor LST on gelato and orange Sherbet, a top on strawberry pie, and some defoliating on Zkittles. Overall my plants are not doing great I would say. However this is my first ever grow, so I have very little personal experience for reference. They do not look the healthiest and when compared to other grow diaries it seems like my plants are small for thier age.

Roller coaster of a week. Not only was I watering too often in previous weeks I figured out each time it was not enough to properly saturate the roots. After a proper saturation this week, most of the plants showed increased growth and upturned leaves. Learning a lot from my first go at this. Not even half done and I'm already looking forward to the next run so I can do it better. Heights: Strawberry pie 6.5 inches Orange sherbet 11 inches Zkittles 12 inches Gelato 16.5 inches Purple lemonade 13 inches Gorrila Cookies 10 inches Highlight of the week: Purple lemonade started showing her namesake color. Super exciting!

Week was going great until I made the mistake of waiting 10 hrs too long to water Strawberry pie. It completely wilted. I tried my best to bring it back, but time will tell. Still dealing with gnats, they are unreal. Heights: Strawberry pie 11.5 inches Orange sherbet 16.5 inches Zkittles 20 inches Gelato 19.5 inches Purple lemonade 20 inches Gorrila Cookies 15.5 inches Highlight of the week: Main colas are starting to connect and fatten. Including purple lemonade which continues to show more color each week.

Looks like I'm having issues with nute burn. Still alot of learning left to do. This is not easy. If I could get my levels under control maybe I could get the hang of this. I have had issues with my leaves one way or another what feels like almost the entire time. This is an technically last week's update. I will post this week's later tonight. 💚

Keeping on keeping on at this point. Stopped the fish sh!t for a week or so to try and control the nute burn. Hoping for the best. Tent really is starting to smell very nice. Heights: Strawberry pie 14 inches Orange sherbet 16.5 inches Zkittles 20 inches Gelato 19.5 inches Purple lemonade 20 inches Gorrila Cookies 15.5 inches Highlight of the week: Gorilla cookies is really fattening up and turning white. Clearly wider than the other 5 strains main colas.

Using fish sh!t every other feed for now. Something seems off with Zkittles. After weeks of trouble shooting I believe it might be a hot spot in my tent. As it's the farthest position from my fan. When they got too big I stopped rotating planters around inside the tent because it was difficult. Heights: Strawberry pie 15.5 inches Orange sherbet 16.5 inches Zkittles 20 inches Gelato 19.5 inches Purple lemonade 20 inches Gorrila Cookies 15.5 inches Highlight of the week: Strawberry pie is 1.5 weeks behind the pack as it's a replacement. It's starting to really smell unique like strawberry candy now though. It's also the only one I topped so it has 4 main colas.

Shifted my fan to try and alleviate any hot spots in the tent. Strawberry pie seemed to fall victim to nutrient burn or lockout. I really don't get what I'm doing wrong with this water only soil. Heights: Strawberry pie 16.5 inches Orange sherbet 16.5 inches Zkittles 20 inches Gelato 19.5 inches Purple lemonade 20 inches Gorrila Cookies 15.5 inches Highlight of the week: Got up close and personal for a trim on Purple lemonade. The lemon smell from the buds is amazing.
