Nov 2020 Organic Grow

This section is for weeks 1-4 The grow was started in November 2020 from seed. Germination - soaked in RO water for 48 hrs - after 48 hrs, placed seeds in moist paper towel - once taproot sprouted, planted in soil Issues - everything was bad from the start - i believe the seeds were placed in a mixture of coco, perlite, and peat - the girls obviously showed deficiencies from the onset - after about a month, they were transplanted into foxfarm ocean forest - the response was decent but after a few weeks the girls showed deficiencies (could have been ph issues or a number of things) Photos taken 1st week of Dec 2020, right before transplant into new organic mixture

Actions - Transplanted girls in early Jan from Ocean Forest to new mix in 5g fabric pots - plants started under blurple, but have been under Mars for about two weeks - gave initial feeding with RO water, seaweed extract - each pot got .5g The 4 on the left are the subject of this grow. Will be documenting 4 on right in another diary

Actions - maintaining the same water schedule - water every 5th day - with current water schedule, plants have not shown a need for water - will feed seaweed extract and RO water every 3rd watering, otherwise, RO water - plants have not shown any visible or alarm worthy deficiencies since transplant - progressing well Plans - set into flower mid-feb - reup on nutes 1st wk of feb (azomite, probably go with down to earth rose and flower) - cut back on products (probably went overboard, but plants are not negatively affected; may limit to "veg: bio-fish, rock phosphate, azomite" and "flower: rose and flower for flower and azomite"

Did the calculations and plan on feeding every 2 weeks Also, decided the nutrients i will use in future grows I may feed one more time a couple of weeks after flower Plan on starting flower in mid Feb Plants didnt seem like they grew much but measurements say different Will remove any low stress training soft ties this week and let the plants go, gotta research this first 1st Trellis is set at 19" Light is at 70% Extended soft tie downs another node and moved a few branches under the trellis

Did some much needed house cleaning. Had my Friday planned out, was gonna do the foliage removal in the morn (had the day off), lights shutoff at noon so wanted to get it done before then. Went a clipped a couple of sugar leaves, then noticed, i can do some cloning. So Friday was put on hold. Went and got supplies for cloner. Of course was supposed to be another early day project. Got the cloner finished around 6pm, ha ha. Well, bottom like, got to clipping around 10pm and had to water, so it was a late night. Scrog definitely doesnt make it easy. Got it all done (removed all soft tie downs too), left a few questionable branches to see if they can make it to the light. Will clip again around wk 2/3, depending on circumstances, of flower and that'll be it. I did get my clippings and started em in the cloner. will be starting a diary on those too. So far, so good. Ive been watching Dr Ingraham and now they say massaging compost in a solution for about a minute or two is just as beneficial as brewing tea. So did that. Here are the readings after the compost dunk PH - 6.93 PPM - 452 Temp - 72.5

just gave water this week. will be flipping probably next week. everything looks well. there is one plant that looks like it could have done without the feeding a few weeks ago. will adjust for next grow and just try feeding once.
