New Grower Captains Ready Room V.1

[Gonnagrowmore]

Hey all! Day 11 update. Forgotten Cookies are really doing great. The Orange Diesel's are still a little slow. As far as the growth rate, I believe I am right on target I had an issue with humidity and the OD's, so I removed the humidifier and they seemed to rebound. Started the Nectar Spartan (Simple) Regimen on day 10 with Medusa Magic, Gaia Mania, Herculean Harvest and Zeus Juice. The schedule will be feed, feed, tea (microbe), feed, feed, flush with Herc from now to the end. Let me know what you think.

Day 13. Not much to report, they seem to be getting into their veg stride with side branching starting. They still are drooping just before lights out, not gonna worry about it since they are looking good.

Good day AFN'ers! Day 15 update. Did a microbe tea day on day 14 with Cultured Biologix EZ Tea Veg and Photo plus (Foul smelling stuff). Also tried some LST on the FC's. Not sure if it helped, time will tell. They are looking very healthy and rebounded nicely from my feeble attempt at some heavy handed LST. Thought I may have damaged some new growth branches, but they are now reaching up nicely. Still a lot of foliage covering up. Let me know what y'all think.

training looks good to me, i think at this stage all you're looking for is to expose the side branching to a bit more light than they would normally get - i usually start a bit later but my girls don't tend to get those nice tight nodes like yours have which i think makes early LST more challenging.

Nice and healthy and way ahead of my girl the same age great job

Thanks Froot, that means a lot. I was a little worried about the leaves laying on the soil, but I have good air circ so I "shouldn't" have any issuesMy LST got a bit frustrating as to where to put the ties and I ended up moving em a couple times which scrapped the main stem some letting her release that awesome skunky smell. My wife walked out of our bedroom (which is at the other end of the condo) and commented on how much it smelled NFTG and the QB's are responsible for the tight nodes. Scott Ostrander says that their line promotes tight nodes. I want to see what that does, if anything, to the stretch.

those leaves that lay on the soil - give it a week to 10 days at the rate your girls are growing and they won't matter at all, first set always goes scabby even if you do weird shit like prop them up away from the soil (yes i did that) - you'll see later that they don't mind losing the first set or two at all and even if you babysit those bottom leaves they'll still turn

scrapes won't do no harm from my experience, and you'll have to make lots of little adjustments anyway to get the most out of the LST.

cracking job so far mate

Looking nice and healthy for day 15, great work!

Good morning AFN'ers! Day 17 and all the plants have shown sex. They are all looking healthy except for some clawing. Growth is strong, so I don't know if this is something I should be concerned about?Y'all are gonnathink I'm crazy, I removed the stakes from the main stem and instead I'm starting to stake the branches to grow more horizontal. I know, I do tend to second guess myself I did a slurry test (a Nectar thing) yesterday and PH was 6.2, PPM was 339 which tells me they are eating what I'm giving.
