The two dark devil ladies have stretched out a bit, the Skywalker and lemon are about the same size, but look like there’s a bit more space between nodes than I am accustomed to at this stage. I increased light intensity to 45% and plan to increase to 50% over the next few days, and will leave it there and only raise or lower as dictated by stage and growth. Despite the verticality of the dark devils, I’ve felt like these four girls were growing a little slow. However, these are new strains to me AND this is my first orgo run...so I’m trying to chill and give things a little time before I jump to any conclusions. Other than the light intensity change I have only been watering at a pH of 6.5. I’ve got so used to being super interactive with my bottle nute grows that I feel like I should be doing more...but nope...it’s about as simple as simple gets. Im certainly not complaining, but the approach of not having to do very much is wreaking havoc on my psyche. I’m looking forward to week 3, that’s the time I start to plan out my LST strategy. Until then, will be on cruise control. ***UPDATE*** 3/8 - I decided to give the girls a compost tea. I did not incorporate a lot of bloom based additives and catered it towards the veg end of things. I used 3 gallons of distilled water and mixed in 2 tbsp unsulphured molasses as my catalyst/base solution. I put 1 cup worm castings, 1 tbsp kelp meal, 1 tbsp alfalfa meal, and 1 tbsp bone meal in a cheesecloth bag, gave it a shake and submerged in molasses solution. I added two air stones to aerate mix, covered the container and left it in the dark for 24 hours. I gave each girl a liter or so each...and now I wait. Next time I won’t make so much when they are this little.

Will the trichs change to amber on this strain? I am a few days past the breeder harvest date, but there are no ambers and more clear ones than I’d expect at this point. I certainly have had plants go for longer or shorter than recommended, but based on trichs I am getting mixed messages. These girls are looking like they are on their last leg and borrowed time. Any advice or pointers for this strain? Thanks!!

It is always great to see an organic grow. The will to do one is more than enough reason. Regarding the small buds issue, happened to me aswell in my first endevours and it turned out to be excess nitrogen during flowering stage. The source most probably the compost tea. And/Or not enough pottasium. So yeah it´s a lot of tweeking required, but the journey should be nothing else than amaizing. The dance of elements, microbes, paramecium, enzymes, mycorize (by the way consider them next time, they´re great) is something to be a part of. Thumbs up and play!

That’s an interesting point you bring up about N. I have been adding worm castings to every tea...plus the little bit from other elements added (kelp, alfalfa, non meal, etc.). That could be it. I also have not added any myco. I have some RAW in my arsenel(N, P, K, and Ca/Mg) and even though it’s not organic it is each element in its pure and soluble form. I plan on using micro amounts so I can selectively add individual elements as needed. All good points, appreciate the feedback. Best of luck with your ladies...looking good in flower!
