First watering since planting. Each plant 2 liters ph 6.23 - 6.3 tap water that was sitting for a few days. Genhydro BioThrive Grow 4-3-3 2ml per 2 liters added just before feeding. Shook up to get a little air into water. Also used syringe to mix water and spray some air into water. Bottom fed in saucers approximately 1 liter each, then top fed remaining.
Visible 3 finger leaves. Larger plant showing growth up to fifth node. Smaller plant also 3 finger leaves 5th node just starting.
3/15/2015
Second watering. 1 liter per plant, 500 ml bottom, 500 ml top. Genhydro BioThrive Grow 4ml per 2 liters. Plant 01 5" Plant 02 3.5". Mild scent if stick nose into exhaust port.
3/18/2015
Third Watering. 1 liter per plant, 500 ml bottom, 500 ml top. Genhydro BioThrive Grow 4ml per 2 liters. LST plants leaning main shoot to side and leaf tucking to expose lower inner node growth. Shoots out of lower nodes seem to be growing well. Plants may be bread to be bushier. Smaller plant seems to soak up water from bottom faster than bigger plant.
3/22/2015
Forth Watering 1 liter per plant all in bottom. Genyrdro bioThrive 4ml per 2 liters and Genhydro CaMg 2ml per 2 liters.
As soon as I figure out how to post images I'll update the thread.
Bit more LST to pull fan leaves out of way and shoots clear of fan leaves. On 3/20 pulled a fan leave off that was sitting on the soil.
