First attempt at a garden.. so hey everyone and thanks for reading, giving feedback given. Made sure to do plenty of research before starting this journey and well not everything is perfect, there's been some bumps and despite my best effort not everything is going as planned.
Relevant information about the garden
Started seeds 12/13 sprouted 12/15 there are 12 plants. GG4, Cheese, Zkittlez, Cookiez, one Do Si Dos. One of the GG4 has always been smaller then everything else. 12/12 germination. Canuck seeds. Feminized photos, teens were clones.
Teens pictured were rescued and are looking much better, One is a G13 and the other is a mystery. They came with a few fungus gnats, they have since been eradicated.
18/6 schedule, HLG 600 Rspec currently at 40%, 40 inches above plants, maybe a little less since they have sprouted up taller..I had it around 34 & 70% and of course my idiot self light stressed them
Soil started in FFHF, everything currently is in Roots 707 except teens are in FFHF.
Temps lights on 72-75 & dark 67-69 RH around 60% since plants are starting week 5 was keeping it around 70% until about a week ago 60-65%
The teens have had roots grow terp tea 3x now in 3 weeks and one top dress of it along with Cal mag. The younger plants have only had a teaspoon worked into top soil of the dry terp tea but nothing else besides what's in the roots 707. Every plant has been topped.
Distilled water until a week ago, last 2 waterings they received Cal-Mag with dechlorinated/amined tap water. pH has always been 6.0-6.7 usually in the middle. Hanna Ace ph meter.
6 inch Infinity ac exhaust. 16 inch Oscillating standfan. 8x4 tent, which I'll probably leave open during flower since it is in a bedroom that is light proofed.
Seedlings .. well vegging plants now are still in one gallon pots, looked at roots tonight and it seems they've made a ton, starting to transplant. Doing some more rearranging tonight, clean up the mess made & getting anything cord wise off the floor of tent.
I probably should have started this journal much sooner, but unfortunately at the beginning of the ground it has to positive for covid-19, have been pretty sick since December 19th, still not better!!
So as you can see by the pictures, these plants have stayed pretty low, want to do training but the branches aren't very long yet and the nodes are very tight, it was worse before I dimmed and move the light up when I realized that they were light stressing. I've only attempted some light training and leaf tucking, I'm afraid to defoliate in this early or remove bigger fan leaves.
Some of the older fan leafs are turning a different shade of green, they are a bit crispier and a bit wavy, some of that I attributed to some over-watering (oops) and the fact that I didn't catch the light stress for a couple of days when those lower leaves were getting torched. (Bad) I'm seeing all kinds of new growth which I am assuming is a good thing, but before things go wrong I figured start a journal here and get advice from people that know what they're doing. I'm willing to listen and take solid advice.
Kind of feels like no matter how much research I did I'm still messing up and it's frustrating. While I've definitely seen worse I don't want whatever issue is going on to become a grow that ends up being scrapped. This garden is very important to me because these are meds for my son with stage 4 colon cancer, he's 26 with his first child on the way.
So thank you so much for reading and look forward to this journey.
