First Organic Grow

Good day all! Happy belated St. Patty’s Day! The girls have really beefed up, I’m feeling less stressed about how slow things were moving along. Those feelings have been nipped in the bud...pun intended. All are in transition, a few slightly further along due to shorter grow times, and all are doing outstanding. The Skywalker by far is the healthiest. The fan leaves are monstrous and she’s super squat which I prefer due to my low ceiling tents. I did a little selective pruning and another round of LST. She’s looking fabulous. The lemon is growing like crazy, but has some light burn. She’s the second tallest and both her and the tallest have a little light stress. She also got a little pruning and more LST. Other than looking sad with the chlorosis on tips, she’s growing as if nothing was wrong. The red devil #1 is also relatively squat and bushing out nicely. This girl, and #2, are a little further along and have the most pistils and pre-flower development. She got a selective trimming to expose blocked buds sites and LST was continued. Red devil #2 is the tallest in the group. Despite what I thought was moderate LST in the beginning was clearly not enough and this not so little lady is definitely playing center guard! She doesn’t have an over abundance of foliage so I only removed a leaf or two, and I applied a bit more stress to try and bring her height a little more under control. All in all, I got to say that going orgo has been pretty easy up to this point. I continue to water at a pH of 6.5, I did raise lights due too light stress on 2 of the 4. All are in transition, and I expect to apply another compost tea that’s 50/50 for veg/flower...then I’ll brew a predominantly flower catered tea there on in. 3/21 update: Both dark devils were very looking very slightly hungry, and given it’ll take several days for slow release to kick in, I applied first top dress for all. 2 tbsp all purpose 2 tbsp power bloom 2 tbsp worm castings I lightly mixed into top of medium and watered with 1.5 L of 6.5 pH’d water. I plan on making first bloom based compost tea sometime in week 5, and will do a little math working backwards bared on breeder grow times to calculate last top feed to be about 3-4 weeks out from harvest so it’s all used up...no flushing with orgo.
