Quick Update Day 3
Critical Orange Punch & Candy Dawg seem to be coming along nicely, no problems as far as I can tell, but the Purple Haze not so good!!!!! ,
Orange Punch

Candy Dawg

Purple Haze
As soon as it sprouted you could see the first set of serrated leaves were tiny and deformed

And it's not looking much better 5 days later

It's not looking too healthy So I've started germing another seed, didn't have another Purple Haze so I'm trying a Black Skull Auto Pineapplegum to take it's place and maybe transfer the Purple Haze to a smaller pot, and do some praying

Day 8
I think the praying could of worked the Purple Haze is looking a lot more healthy then she did a few days ago, I transplanted her to a smaller pot 2 days ago and so far looking much better, new leaves don't seem as deformed so I'm still hopeful she'll pull through up till yesterday I had been feeding them tap water and cal/mag ph'd to around 5.8 ish, now started feeding all 3 nutes, micro, grow, bloom and cal/mag to same ph and I've changed the light schedule from 24/0 on to 20/4,,,
Also the Candy Dawg will be participating in the Seedstockers battle and the Critical Orange Punch in the General battle in for a penny an all that!!!
I also have a new reflector on the way, it's bigger and not closed ended, so should spread the light better
Purple Haze

Critical Orange Punch
All looking fine so far

Candy Dawg
Same with the Dawg, all looking fine and dandy

Till the next time

Day 9
Quick update, new reflector has arrived and been installed it definitely spreads the light out better than my other closed ended reflector!!!!
Also the Pineapplegum I germed to replace the Purple Haze popped up yesterday so it's looking like I maybe growing 4 now

The Candy Dawg and Orange Punch look like they enjoyed their first proper feed, they certainly seem a lot bigger than yesterday and the Purple Haze is still hanging on which is a surprise given the first few days!!!!

So for now, it's all good under the hood
