Back with a third grow journal because why not. In thinking that my other two grows only had a few weeks left (haha...) I sprouted my three freebee OG Kush photoperiod seeds from RSQ. I started them in solo cups, but then had to leave unexpectedly for four days. When I got back all three had sprouted but were very stretched. I repotted them in solo cups a bit lower down in the soil but one was definitely stunted. After one week they looked like this:
For the next week I just watered when the soil was dry, which was a couple times a week. Growth looked good and was pretty consistent.
The runt was still lagging behind.
By week three, which was this week they were showing signs of stress from lack of nutrients and possibly light stress, as they are in the same tent with my flowering autos under 100% light intensity. I was noticing dying back of leaves and purpling of the stems, so I up potted from solo cups to one gallon containers. After repotting I topped my two taller plants, and gave all three a light LST on the main stem. They were also watered with 1 gallon of water between the three plants and a half strength does of grow big(3tsp) and one tsp of calmag.
Here they are as of a few hours ago, the photos were taken before the LST but after topping.
Hopefully I didn't stress them out too bad, the weather here is crazy hot and my tent temps are around 84F with a humidity of 70%. There is a lot of air movement in the tent so I think they'll be ok. I do worry about my flowering plants that are into week 7 and six of flower respectively, but that's a story for a different journal. Once the flowering plants are out of the ten I'll up pot these again into their final 3 gallon pots and let them take over the tent before flipping to 12/12. I'm expecting that will be in about 4 weeks or so. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the ride!
