Good point! I'm pretty sure that I burned some of the other plants too. I realized I sprayed them a couple times and forgot to turn down the lights while the spray dried
pest damage and doofus mistakes. Urrghh
Thanks Haz! They are ready to be spread out some more. I'll be chopping the autos inside the tent in a few days.Yea some noticable bushing on the BG great job

I'm starting to see root tips at the bottom of some of these. They need some more water which will have to wait until tonight. The humidifier was bone dry AGAIN this morning.
Candida is sprucing up. Soil is feeling light. I gave her a small drink around the root zone as Shed suggested instead of the whole pot. She liked that. I'll do that again later tonight.
Have a wonderful day folks!

Forgot to post a pic of this one. So funky and weird. If it's end up female, cool. If not, worm food. I have no idea what happened or what's wrong. Going to save a very small amount of space and patience...
Everything is looking good except the one that isn't! And I can see why you're running low on spacience what with the current auto grow. Definitely changes the perspective for a while!

Right?! It was doing fine and then it hit a brick wall it seems. Chalking it up to some random act of kindness by me...
Haaa! Best word. I need a bumper sticker that says, "Have Some Spacience"
Yeah...I don't like this dance/juggle of plants in flower and some in veg in the same space. I'll be figuring something else out in the future. No doubt!

Happy Sun-Fun-day everyone!!! First day off in...whatever it is...
A quick look into my grow space
@Mars Hydro 5x5 tent that is currently powered by a few @BESTVA LED lights. The Pro4000 and a couple Pro1000. The sad teeny plant (Queen of Soul #2) is now gone.
Average temps are 78-80°F with a 55-60% RH. Not ideal for vegetative growth but closer than I'm comfortable with for the flowering plants (soon to be chopped).
The plants were overdue (3 days) for a @GeoFlora Nutrients topdress! So they all got at least 1oz of Veg and a desperately needed drench. They were starting to ask for water yesterday!
Before I get into this massive photo dump of an update, serious props to the GF team for an amazing product. There is some excellent stuff in this folks!
Thank you for sponsoring our contests! Can't tell you how thrilled I am to have more coming from the recent wins!
It makes using organic nutrients so easy! Just feeding and proper nutrients in general are easy with these products. That is important to me. It is easy to grab this stuff and start feeding/amending just about any medium you are using.
Thanks again to the 420 Mag fam for voting and the honor of winning in recent contests. Woooo! More swag but...more nutrients! I heard from @Prescription Blend and I will finally get a chance to try their stuff too! So incredibly stoked to get my hands on that and see how well I do with it. These blessings are helping me in so many ways and I could not express my gratitude enough to everyone. Thank you!
Included in the drench was the second dose of @Sierra Natural Science SNS209 ! Signs of live thrips are almost all gone. I found 1 freshly molted adult and a couple deads ones on top of leaves. I am going to continue the SNS209 in my drenches for the next few weeks to build up that pest resistance. After a solid loading dosage, I'll probably switch to using it every other or 3rd watering to keep things in check.
I will also use other foliar spray products like EcoWorks EC which is primarily neem. I will also be using essential oil foliar sprays. Somewhere in there, I'll be mixing in the ISO/H²O foliar too that Shed suggested.
I added a hefty dose of yucca extract. In case you are not familiar with yucca extract, it is a 60% saponin product that helps slow down your drench and assists with evenly distributing the moisture into the soil. Air pockets in soil suck! Another popular product is quillaja powder which is a higher saponin percentage.
Here is a good example of watering too quickly in a fabric pot. My soil was too dry. It becomes hydrophobic and resists absorption. It begins leaking out the fabric faster than the soil can take it in. A good reminder to slooooooow down if your soil gets too dry in between your drenches.
Another trick I like to do is spray the sides of the fabric pots and wait a few minutes before drenching. Slowly moistened soil sidewalls greatly reduce this issue.
Every plant got a minimum of 1oz/2 Tbsp per gallon of soil of GF 'Veg' and then worked into the soil slightly. Then a layer of worm castings over it. This will keep the nutrients covered and moistened longer so the microbes can have a feast without drying out too fast.
Without too much detail of the total drench quantity for each plant. I mixed a total of 2 gallons or 7.6 L of drench solution. I dispersed that at an average rate of 150-250 mLs per plant (including the candida clone that also got a GF topdress a couple days early). They all got between 750 mLs to 1L of drench each, with the exception of the Candida taking 1.5 liters.
Did some clean up work on nodes and leaves close to the soil. I wanted to let those nodes grow out to clone but with contact that close to soil, you are just asking for issues.
Much better!
I believe this is what extreme low RH can do to leaves if the VPD ratio gets too misaligned.
In case you are wondering why I trimmed off the damaged parts of the leaves, it is to check the progress of the plant health itself. The new growth has been looking decent over the past week since I increased the RH. The logic is the plant will heal this wounds as it naturally would without any other signs of stress or deficiencies. They will callous and become brittle. That will be a good sign! If they do not, I will be getting fresh signs of issues in those leaves and others. A little tip I got from a local plant nursery. Not specifically for cannabis but borrowing generic horticultural practices/wisdom from multiple sources. Just FYI
I think C99 is showing signs of being hungry tkk. Not just fighting environmental stress. Based on the breeder notes, this is typical..I gave her extra GF.
Is that everything?! Gaaaaawd I hope so. I feel like I'm forgetting something. If I forgot some details or you have any questions (if you made it this far), please ask.
It's a "day off"...but that means a whole lot of house chores and to-dos to get done while I'm on "vacation". Blessings everyone and thanks for joining my humble beginnings to what should be an amazing 2022 grow season!

I found the leaves that are touching the soil will get necrosis.
Keep up the great work.

Thanks for swinging by Stunger. They are getting there. I wish they would all show me some pistils! That would make me happy.
Appreciate it dude. Everything we do (typically) is shown to us later with plants. So we have to slow down to their rate I have found. Some things show up quick. Some things...well...we just learn the hard way. Like air pruning autos. Haaa haaaTakes a good grower to see the ladies and not panic. I'd be on here hassling everyone haha. You just fix it
Thanks Bill! I agree. So easy to cause some serious issues with soil contact. I prune many of my veggies in similar ways to avoid pests and diseases from soil contact.Beautiful my friend @BakedARea

Hey growers...
One thing I was curious about, is buried node sites that have been pruned. Will they callous normally if left under the soil level? Or is it a grade A dumbass mistake? I'm thinking the latter. It did not dawn on me that I covered up the nodes on the Space Queen. I initially transplanted her too low. So started with a mistake and then just committed what I believe to be another one.
Thoughts?

Hey folks! Happy & Blessed Monday.
I just wanted to share a quick plant and life update. So often, we find peace being able to escape to our garden. Sometimes it is in despair and sometimes it is booming with greatness. Such an incredible analogy for our lives.
One of the reasons for this journal was to be a bit more transparent and vulnerable.
This morning, my wife goes in for the first of four procedures to fix some faulty vein valves in her legs. It has been a quickly progressing cardiovascular issue that has caused a lot of pain and frustration. I have been struggling with pain for years. Seeing her go through it kills me inside. I wish I could take it on instead of her. She is super nervous as am I, but it should be straightforward. But there are risks involved. Have a blessed day everyone.
They are looking a little perkier this morning. Almost 24 hrs since their topdress and drench.
The layer of the worm castings helped reduce the smell of the wet GF topdress BTW! For those of you that don't like the smell of organics, I figured I would give you that tip.
It brings me a sense of...

You guys are in my prayers. Surgery is always scary but I hope everything gets better after
I don't think it matters. I had a spindly seedling and @InTheShed told me to bury it deeper.
Sorry to hear of your wife's health issue. I hope the procedures go smoothly and recovery is quick and easy.
I understand what you mean about your pain and her pain. I feel that way with Felonious, too.

Hey baked. Sending positive vibes for you and your wife
Terrific info-packed update yesterday and it looks like you have things well under control! I hope all goes well with your wife and that she's in good hands with her medical team.
This! ↑ I almost always bury part of the trunk when I upcan. And like HG said, with leggy sprouts sometimes half of it! Of course with younger ones you want to make sure you don't get that area around the stem soaking wet for a while as it grows a good outer layer to protect it.
Hey BA, sending some positive vibes for your wife's procedure today. It should all go well and I hope she's back out in recovery before you know it. All the best!

Thanks everyone for the prayers, good vibes, and well wishes. I passed them along and she smiled through the valium induced relaxation. Haaaa haaaa. I said, "HEY! I can achieve that look with a plant!" Apparently, she didn't get it.
She was in and out pretty quick! Her nerves (and mine) were pretty shook. Tomorrow is round 2. Next week, round 3 & 4 and hopefully this never happens again. Valves in her veins stopped working. Causing blood to not circulate back up. That is the primary concern. There are obviously other shitty things happening because of it. I'm feeling very fortunate that there is a fix and this is not a "for the rest of your life" diagnosis.
Basically, the doctor pruned out a larfy vein to encourage the rest to plump up and increase flow and nutrients. See what I did there?!
I have a few more auto seeds to pop soon. I may give it a try and see if it's worth the effort. Or I could just not have the area near the stem soaking wet.

This got me thinking about something. What if I used pumice or perlite to create a little cavern for the seed to germinate and grow and be protected from the soil being in direct contact? Would that even work? Somehow, it is working in my brain.
