Mixed up 6 Gallons of Promix HP with 60/40 all purpose/ bloom (10tbsp/8tbsp) and about 2L of worm castings.
Created shallow holes, put in seeds, covered and watered with about an ounce+ of tap water each. Covered with solo cup. Lights on at 25% for warmth.
Amnesia preflower started day 19. BB started a day or so later. These girls are on the move!
Did my week 4 top feed of 2tbs AP and 2 TBS of bloom. So far Gaia Green is the shit - this is so much easier than liquid nutes and coco. Will add last 2 TBS of bloom each at start of week 5.
Learning how to water Promix HP. I was watering them too much. Small plants in 3 gal pots should only get maybe 500ml - I gave them 2 litres each and they were wet for 8 days.
Have some brown and yellow spotting on the amnesia lower leaves and drooping leaves all over - assume over-watering caused this.
BB is trucking along, a little droopy from overwatering but far better than the Amnesia. She looks good overall.
Did some additional LST on both and removed a higher fan leaf on the BB which opened up 3 or 4 bud sites.
Will do some more LST on lower branches in a couple days to even out canopy more.
So they finally started to dry out and perk up a bit - even showing some new growth - but the leaves are still yellowing and dropping off.
I watered a little to get some water and nutrients to the roots that are still healthy nearer the top of the pots. I hope that will start to turn them around.
Second watering this week I put in a tsp of bloom and let it sit in the water for 48hrs first to try and free up some available K as they are K deficient. Might be rotten roots - not sure if I can save them or not.
The Amnesia smells like sweet oranges at this stage. The BB smells like classic weed. Hope to get some of the berry in as she matures.
They're still struggling with potassium deficiency. Gave some kelp meal to try and help them out. Guess we'll see.
Despite the deficiency the little nugs are still getting fatter. Guess I'll keep them and see if they make it.

Can now see some amber trichomes at only 48 days. Wow. Gonna let let go at least another week. BB maybe two as it is further behind.
So I started a new grow method going from coco and liquid nutes for my first grow to ProMix HP and Gaia Green. I messed up the watering of the seedlings and they got overwatered which stunted growth and gave me deficiency issues. These were done after 7 weeks with amber trics which was a surprise.
Dry took 7 days nice and slow but unfortunately the smell went from citrus to a funky earthy smell as cure went on. Not much citrus left. Will see if another month of cure helps bring it back.
Man I really wish I hadn't messed these up by overwatering. These are the best smelling buds I've ever had. THIS is why people go through the trouble of growing their own supply.
Nice slow 9 day dry in paper bag on top of a dehydrator rack. Worked great but now the closet smells of weed. Back to drying in the tent with carbon filter.
