So it’s been 3 weeks since I planted her and coming into the 2nd week of veg. I’m happy to say she’s doing well we have now got 2 more leaves so she’s growing well.

Updated grow diaries today put out a question on her leaves so will update what I find out. Think I will start giving nutes in a few days but not too sure how to go about that? Will record what I find out, any comments appreciated!!!

Nothing new to update today just letting soul dry a little before I add nutes tomorrow.

First day on nutrients!! Got some fresh ph balanced water at 6.5. Added 4 drops each of Dutch pro soil A+B and 3-4 drops of cal mag. This was added to 2 pints of water gave enough to the plant for it to be damp. Very excited to be moving on with the grow!!
5th March Fri (day 14 since sprout)
Very excited to see the plant is responding well to nutrients the leaves are getting much bigger looking forward to see what she has to offer in the 3rd weed of veg.
....disaster struck when I was lowering the light it completely broke off and squashed the plant for no longer than 2 seconds. Only break I can see is on one of the lower leaves but hopefully it’ll bounce back!

Very very disheartened today! :( but I can only try and see what happens! So I had to take a few hours away after the incident happened because I was ready to go hulksmash on the whole grow tent 😂 but with some advice from a lot of growers on here I’ve got a little motivation to continue! So I’ve tied the plant up with a stick and some thread I’ve very loosely tied it to the stalk so she straightens out. Gave her a little more water with some nutes so hopefully aid her. Will keep everything updated on how she grows with the incident in mind. Any advice at all would be very much appreciated!

So we’re at the end of “week 2” after the incident I think my girls doing well. I’ve put soil upto her bottom leaves to give her more support as advised!! Gave her some water with nutes hope she picks back up this week. Excited to see how she transforms and grows!! Happy weekend guys!
Best of luck with your baby! Watch how much you feed her, she’s still very small and can easily get nutrient burn (possibly why the tips are the way they are) 🌱
She does look a bit beaten up! I dont think its the light drop trauma that delayed her growth though xP But as you can see she is also starting to grow, it will probably catch up. To be safe i would check soil's ph, water and runoff, just to be sure :)
Also if you think you are overwatering it, you are probably right, as you can kill a plant easier with too much water than not enough ^^ I wouldnt say it looks too overwatered though, but a plant that small doesnt drink much, so just let top 2-3 cm of soil get bone dry, reallly stick your finger in the dirt, if it comes too dirty usually the soil has enough water, on the other hand if the soil falls from the finger its dry xPP Thats how i do it, you got to really poke it good around the vase feel the overall wetness xP Closer to the plant be more genlte with the poking thing xP Overwatering would slow the growth of a young plant ;) could explain it!
@OneDropOfTHC, No it wasn’t the light drop it was spider mites! 😡 but I’ve got some neem oil now she’s looking miles better!! Well in my opinion 😂 been doing what you’ve said to do and check the soil a few inches in to check if completely dry before watering again! Stay safe!
Yeah dont worry about it. She is fine, on nature they are used to getting squashed for a few seconds. Aslong as th main stem doesnt brake, you are safe, even if it brakes and you manage to secure the wound close with some tape, it will probably live. Last week i dropped a pot on her head completely removing her from soil and bending her, she didnt even notice xP They are incredibly resilient if healthy,
I dont see a need for defoliation. But im with those people that dont defoliate autos. Post up a grow question see other opinions ^^ What i would do right know to you plant is apply an anchor to the base and bend the top stem down arching your plant and making those side shoots take some sun and start developing alongside with the main stem, all at the same weight. But thats a kind of training, u might just want to let her grow. but right now seems the perfect time to bend the top down without hurting it. If you need any help on how to do this just wisp me, ill draw you a picture.
