My first grow did not go quite as expected. I grew four plants in DWC, and planned to get clones before flipping to flower. Then I was going to grow the clones while the first plants flowered to start a two-tent perpetual grow.
When I flipped to flower, though, the plants were really short and I didn't know what to take. I also didn't have the cloner and/or another DWC system ready. So I decided to move forward with the first grow, and just plant some new seeds for the next. I figured I could grow three different plants in soil, veg for 8 weeks, get some clones, and then finish the three soil plants in the 4x4. Meanwhile, I would grow the clones for mothers and/or for the next grow. This would give me some experience with soil, and some time to build out another DWC system for veg.
The problem with that plan, though, is that I don't know anything about growing in soil. I mean, I didn't know anything about growing in DWC either. I did a LOT of research, though. But it's dirt, right? How hard can it be?
This will be my second grow ever, and first in soil. Here we go!

I am not sure why I planted her in Espoma, but it has not gone well. I do not think she had nearly enough nutrients. I also have had to learn how to water with her, and I have had issues with both overwatering and underwatering. She had a really rough start as my first seedling in soil. She has been doing much better, though, since being up-potted in FFHF. Since receiving the Prescription Blend, she is really taking off. She has been topped and LST started.
