Trala's Tent: A USA & Australian Comparative Grow

- Start date
Omg are you performing Last Rites?!
I knew it was bad, but not that bad!
am sure she'll be strong enough
Thank you, @Trala !
Happy Monday! It's Update time!
The little Zkittles is doing alright, although she does have a few problems..
She's 21 days old, 3.5 inches tall...Transplanted 4 days ago, topped 3 days ago.
She got topped on Friday afternoon- she was 4" tall till then...
See those bumpy leaves? Not sure what that is, but I know I don't like it....
Pretty little Olivia has her pale leaves, and this one has some yellowing and crispiness going on already...
So we're both off to less than a smooth start...but I'm sure we'll get the kinks worked out...
She's not the healthiest looking plant I've grown, hopefully that'll change as time goes on...
The Grow Dots aren't showing me much yet, but it's only been 4 days since transplant- I'll give it some time before I start doubting the Dots...
That's about all for today- this is the boring part of the grow- it'll get more interesting in a month or so...
Thanks for looking!
We appreciate the support
See you next time!
Quotes:
Definitely 2 different phenos- you got the pale leaf pheno, and I got the bumpy/yellow leaf pheno..
It's a Nextlight 420H/420 watts, but I can only use about half of that wattage ...
The light is 25"x25", and the box is 24"x24",so I get pretty good coverage in there...
Nextlight is no longer a sponsor...hopefully it's ok to mention them...

I tell you what I find odd, is both of their actual growth is good. Olivia’s growth looks okay and your Zkittkes is racing. But the foliage is faaaked! Lol!Thank you, @Trala !

Could it be genetics?
Because I’m have done nothing differently even with a day in the rain.
I think my bumpy leaves are definitely genetic, but it's hard to say about the yellowing leaves on Olivia-
she may just be hungrier than most.
I'm sure they'll end up doing ok, but neither one is getting off to an ideal start...
We'll get 'em fixed, it'll just take a little time..

Good morning and happy first day of Spring!
I made a Captain’s Call!
Despite the fact her little root system was full of moisture, I fed her the last two days running. I considered letting her dry out yesterday, but felt she needed the plant nutes more than she needed to dry out.
I understand for those who have only ever grown MJ or are new to growing, you can become twisted over watering. I used to when I first joined, but I have been growing house/yard plants my whole life. If I was to apply my basic gardening rationale to my pale leaved Olivia, I would fertilise. So that’s what did. She has had 2 days of an increased Tega Brop *taps nose* 2.25g/2L. It’s about learning to read your plants. Once you understand what they are trying to tell you, you can speak to them. OMG I sound bOnKeRs I know!! LOL! Anyway she looks better for it, well I think she does.
So I waterboarded her like I hated her lol! And today she smiled at me. She has a good strong proud stem and she has grown 2cm too!
Omg I love her so much
I want to make her sing for us sooooOooo bad!

Thank you
I actually think she’s going to be a light green plant. My Shiskaberry Halle was always a lighter green, and so was Frankie, one of my Tangerine Dreams. She is a healthy light as opposed to an anemic light today.

Gidday mates!
Okay I thought I’d start with a Strayan joke.
What’s the difference between an Aussie wedding and an Aussie funeral?
There’s one less drunk person at an Aussie funeral!
Boom tish!
Lolling!
Time for an Australian update!
Well I am pleased to report Olivia has turned a corner this week. I deliberately overwatered her to get those nutes in and while she hated me at the time, (she looked swollen with water) her colour improved dramatically. She was smiling this morning on waking. First time in 5 days tbh.
Didn’t take me long to wipe the smile off her face! As you can see she’s now miserable after an uppot and a water. I know a lot of growers are interested in roots (I’m not) her root ball was good.
I’m happier with her. Much happier. Hopefully she will look happier with me tomorrow in return lol. As I said I’ve also topped her. She has grown a bit, she’s now 15cm or 5.9” and she has 8 leaves. I topped her at her fifth node. As you can see, her node spacing is compact. Or more compact than the leggy freaks I’m known for.
I’m trying to perpetualate. Here she is hanging with her sisters to other misters. I have 3 flowering plants and 3 veggers, all at various stages of growth.

And now for a little Update on the USA side of this grow!
The 29 day-old @Weed Seeds Express Zkittles is doing pretty well- she was transplanted 11 days ago, topped 10 days ago- she's 4.5" tall now.
You may remember that last week, she had a few problems (bumpy leaves, yellowing leaves) but she's put all that behind her now, and she's growing like she's supposed to :
It's like she just found the Grow Dots in the soil on Friday- she didn't really do much till then (I was getting a bit worried), but Friday morning she started growing, and now she's really getting with it...I started tying stuff down on Saturday.
The bumpy leaf thing has gone away, so that's a good thing...
The old leaves are sort of buried now- she's at the "I'm gonna grow like a Cabbage for awhile"stage..
I left 8 branches- 6 are doing well, but node 1 isn't looking very promising- I'll probably end up shaving that one off in another week or so, unless it starts growing like the rest.
It's been hot here (97f outside, 88f in the box) but she seems ok with it..she got watered this morning- just water, 3ml silica, and 2g of Real Growers Recharge.
And that's it for this week!
Thanks for looking, we appreciate the support.!
And a special Thanks to Trala, for putting this grow together
Have a great week, See you next time
Sorry I'm so late arriving. With so many folks rushing to get here (and there) the traffic was awful.
This ought to be interesting. For those of you old enough to relate, it's like a joint effort between Jack Benny and Joan Rivers! Jack will provide numerous droll observations while Joan will push the limits of acceptable public discourse.
I anticipate that Jack and Joan will both grow stellar plants and I look forward to seeing both of their successes!
I'll have a seat here next to @StoneOtter because he makes me chuckle.

I am loving taping this collaborative grow with you. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to do this with other growers. I’m hoping @Carmen Ray and I can do a Wookie F2 Auto comparison when she gets her seeds. Growing beside friends is so much fun. Well I think it is.
Your growth and shape is soooo different to mine. I’m a bit shook how much light and nutes determine growth. I really thought our plants would look similar or at the very least related lol.
I haven’t even pulled a Carhook out yet lol.
Only thing our grows have had in common so far is a shaky start Lollling!
Your girl looks perfect.
