She sprouted. Yay. Just keeping soil wet All organic grow. Not many photos, not much going on with them. She is doing perfect for a sprout. Couldn't ask for more, besides more seeds. Lol.

So #1 is doing great. I'm wondering if I should top or mainline? I might also just let them grow naturally. Idk yet. So I had a second seed I decided to use since both my GG4 autos didn't sprout. So the seed sprouted but didn't come off the plant. The shell and husk was stuck. I tried best I could but I tore the cotyledon leaves. In half. Both. So she has a rougher start than #1 but that's ok. Shes growing. Just watering from inline filter. 1/16- topped one of the GC today. The little one is recovering fine after a hard birth losing the cotyledon leaves. Added a tomato trellis to her to help tie braches down. Possible mainline. Idk

Getting time for the next top. Be to late if I wait much longer. I need to do it before it starts showing. So far I'm just watering. That's all I'll need using earth dust. I will have to add boost before flower. So far she is doing great. The 2nd one is starting to grow more leaves. Must have got the roots going good now

Ok these 2 plants are doing great. Considering I tore the cotyledon leaves on the little one in the beginning. She is staying quite small. The other gorilla cookies I have topped and then topped those shoots. She started to show signs she needed the next amendments. Earth dust boost. 3tbsp per gal of soil. Mixed in and watered. Should be starting flowering now.

I am low stress training the one that tore its cotyledon leaves, because she is more of a runt. The 1st one i mainline. I topped 3x.

So here they are today. Looking better. Healing. I broke some mains on the one I mainlined. She was brittle. She seems to be ok and thinking in the spots where broke. Some have been broke completely off. First real mainline and learned a couple lessons so far. The other lil lady is just getting tied down. Her hairs are showing now.

So these 2 are doing pretty good. They really caught up. The mainlined one is doing excellent. I even had couple issues with breaking the stems. First time mainlining. She is 16in tall and starting to kick in to flowering. The LST gorilla cookies auto that started small and took forever is finally caught up and starting to flower well also. I gave then their last top dressing of earth dust boost. I also started the UV light that connects to my hlg 550.

I maintain defoliation. I added the last dose of earthdust. I'm aslo suffering from some deficiencies. Idk why. I only add water from inline carbon filter. I dont PH. The microbes in the soil are supposed to balance it out. Maybe I have a nutrient lockout. It looks like same issue from last grow on my critical purple auto. That's the mainlined one that's sick. The other one #2, is doing great. Buds and trichomes are forming nice. Ive been running my UV light about 12-15hrs a day. The light is 30in from top of plants. Seems to be good spot for the hlg550 at 100% during flower.

So plant 2 is doing great. I was overwatering and plant 1 is sick. Droopy, pale, other obvious deficiencies. I noticed that the sick one has algae growing on it. So I started to do better watering practices. I also made up a nutrient tea and fed both of them. I also added mushroom bags into the tent. Like 6 of them. I had them just sitting on shelf chilling. I figured that they would benefit the plants with Co².

So these are just growing. Caused issues with #1 because I over watered. I didnt let her completely dry out, which I should have and still might. Idk. I'm using living soil so I dont want to kill it. Buds are growing good tho. Little slow. #2- that plant is getting dark colors and really frosty and fattening up faster than #1. I feel like the yeild and potency of #1 will be less than 2.

I just took down. Will update when dry. They was purple faded to green. Beautiful. Man they are shrinking. Should be in jars in a day or 2. The 1st one harvested is in jars and weighs 50g. Kind of low. Like it's a shame. The 2nd one harvested is now hanging. It was the mainlined one. My 1st successful mainline harvested. She has way more buds and bigger buds than the one LST. I will add harvest weight of p2 once dry. I'll also take some photos of them Plant 2 is 66g dry. So total is 116g I'm trying to get my average up on here per plant. Hopefully these photo runs will
