I decided to use LST and defoliated the big girls this week. I think the yield will be a lot bigger as a result. A lot more light is reaching the mid and lower bud sites, especially on SS#1. Chemdoggy is much bushier by nature. She was more difficult to defoliate. I may do some more pruning as she gets bigger. SS#2 is definitely flowering but she’s small. I stunted the heck out of her through the whole process. A learning lesson for sure. Temp is 77F RH32%. Will prob water them tomorrow evening.

Big difference since my last update. SS#1 is in preflower and beginning to stretch. I’ve seen a ton of growth each day and I keep turning up light intensity. Hopefully it will help them grow bigger since I stunted them so badly at the start. SS#2 shows signs of something. Not sure what. Maybe light stress? Have to keep monitoring to see what happens over the next few days. Chemdoggy looking real good. Recovered well from the nute burn and is now also in preflower. Very proud of these two. Despite a lot of adversity early on, they should yield something quality even if the quantity isn’t there. Very pleased!!! Watered early today. All three babies are on the same schedule now. Temp 77F RH35%

All three babies looking pretty good. Transplanted SS#2 yesterday, so everyone is now in their final 5gal pot. I’ve been alternating watering days. Today was SS#1. Tomorrow chemdoggy and SS#2 will get a look. Chemdoggy shows more signs of nute burn on her tips, even the new ones. I’m going to try to flush her when I water tomorrow. All else looking good right now. I prepped the tent shelf and area above for Mary’s arrival. I think it’ll be chop day within the next week or two. Tent temp is currently 79F with RH33%.

Super pleased with the progress we’ve made over the last few days. All three babies seem to be back on the right track. Chemdoggy has some good looking new growth. No signs of nute burn on the new leaves yet. Hopeful it will stay that way. Sour stomper #1 is flourishing with lots of new growth, which seems to be accelerating. She’s getting a nice breeze from the fans. SS #2 is coming alive too. Lots of new growth but there’s weird curly undergrowth that makes me think she’s a bit deformed. Time will tell if she improves. Soaked SS#2. Hoping to transplant her later this week. Temp is 79F with 39%RH

Busy few days. Transplant #2 was a success. Sour stomper appears to be thriving in her new pot, but shows some slight nute burn. Need to give plenty of water each time I water her. Chemdoggy is struggling big time. Looks like major nute burn. I really don’t know what happened with this one. The rough transplant probably didn’t help. I see some new growth so I’m still hopeful. The runt sour stomper looks to be popping with some new growth. Need another bag of soil and then I’ll transplant her to her 5gal pot in a few days. Watered chemdog today. Temp is 82F with 42%RH. Outdoor temps have been warm and humid.

Pots were dry AF. Light is turned back down. I transplanted chemdog because it just didn’t look good off center in its little pot. The transfer was not good but hopefully she’ll be ok in a few days. Watered the hell out of the little guys. Nice to have an empty pot to compare for weight. I won’t water until Monday unless the pots dry out fully. Fingers crossed, hopefully they take off next week. 79F 39%RH

All is well. Decided not to transplant to bigger pots yet. I want them to get a little bigger. Maybe a week from now. I watered late. Pots were light. Fully saturated now. Don’t water until Sunday the earliest. Increased light intensity. I want to feed my babies with light. Temp is 77F with 44%RH.

Looking good. Hopefully getting ready to take off. Removed the domes from the two big ladies and still have one in the incubator. I want to give the big ones room to grow and expose them to the elements again. I think the little one may make it. These next few days will be crucial. Be sure to keep a close eye on moisture in the soil. Temp is 82F 44%RH.

2/3 looking great! Sour stomper #1 and chemdoggy dog leading the pack. I transplanted SS #2 because I felt my homemade pot wasn’t draining well enough. She may be suffering from overwatering. I’m going to keep a close eye on her over the next few days. I don’t want her to suffer the same fate as StrAwberry. Temp is currently 80F with 30RH. Not sure why RH is so low right now. I think the humidity outside dropped substantially. Watered today. Mist tomorrow. No more water until Tuesday the earliest.

Strawberry nuggets is a goner. Maybe too little soil? The others still look OK. Misting only today. No water. Temp is 79F with 49RH. Will try to germinate another SN once I get these three babies growing.

My babies are overwatered and stressed out. I made changes to help reduce heat. Raised light six clicks and dimmed as low as it would go. Temp is now 77F with 39RH. I will mist them later today but no water until tomorrow the earliest.
