@Mañ'O'Green Received mine 0n 2/12 and here is my drop photo from yesterday. (been hectic on the homefront)

@Fast Buds Heather Thank you for the opportunity and the blueberry seeds. Definitely my favorite.

I have 2201 which if I remember correctly is the indica leaning tester.

UPDATE WEEK #2- (please note week#1 update was posted Wednesday 2/16/22 reply #89 on this thread) tried to edit it to tag you both but don’t have that option on the phone for some reason.

The Nitty Gritty:
Hello from the rainy Virginia Mountains !!
Was a busy afternoon in the grow room, decided to up-pot the FBT2201 girls into their final home.
The 4x8 tent won’t be here until Thursday so I figured I’d knock everything out today (water/feed and up-pot).
Grab a chair and hang on tight this is gonna be a fun ride LOL
Pre-weights on both, they were thirsty for sure.

Mixed up Happy frog, 3 cups of worm castings, 2tbsp of Recharge in a 10 gal plastic tote .

Mixed everything really well 3 times.
Accidentally knocked over FBT 2201 #1 which made quite the mess on my carpeted grow room ugh !! The plant stayed intact in the cup so I do not think there was any damage worth worrying about.

Using my new “Tall” 3 gallon grow bags, I added about 2 cups of hydroton to the bottom of the grow bag first.

Was just enough to cover the entire bottom surface. Added the soil mixture to about half and inserted a empty solo cup.

Filled around the cup and lightly packed in.

Twisted and removed the cup for a perfect new home for the root ball.

Lightly sprinkled Great White mycorrhiza in the hole.

Gently squeezed the solo cup outer surface and flipped it over in the palm of my hand , being careful to cradle the plant between two fingers to not damage it. Lightly pressed on the bottom and voila !
They appear to have nice rootball structure to my untrained eye

Set the rootball in the hole and gently pressed it in
Added straw mulch about 1” deep to the top of the soil.

Repeated the above process for FBT2201 #2

Once both plants were in place and situated in the grow tent I watered them in using the 10% method from BAS (1.2qts each, total), very slowly with a spray wand.

1/4 of that amount went to each plant and then came back about 2 hours later and finished the remaining watering.
Water/food Mixture:
#1 was Gold Leaf Auto week 2 Schedule
#2 was Foop Week 2 schedule
Cal-Mag went into both mixtures at the standard rate of 2ml/gal
Final PH: 6.5
Final PPM: 0920 #1 0863 #2

On a side note:
I’m not sure if this is the proper way but if my PPMs are higher than what I want I have been “diluting” with RO water and rechecking ppm and ph before feed. This seems to work well in my hydro grow, so I thought I’d give it a try in soil too

Now to let them rest a few days and I’ll add about 4-6 red wigglers to each bag if everything looks good.

That looks like a rat and not a mouse. I nailed that one for two points. At that age you have more than one

@Mañ'O'Green How often do you update your spreadsheet?

No particular time frame. The date posted is on the lower right corner.

I do not log every weekly update even though you must make them. It is just too much and plants have there own schedule. Some may be 10 week some can be 13 or more. It makes it too messy.

If I use the "like" it has been logged. If I use any other "Like" I have seen and read your update but it is not being used on the log.

Okay. Makes sense lol. I was just curious about how and when you were doing it. "It is too much..." that's why I've never gone for anything other than cultivator club... I'm too busy with life to spend that much time online lol. This round, I've got time for three g&s before I've got to "work", and I'll be offline for most of that time.

@Fast Buds Heather @Mañ'O'Green : First update!

The first week pictures are never very impressive I guess.. But here she is:

This time she is more in focus!
She is doing fine, and getting ready to do some growing I am sure!

I have to wage war on mice. this past fall before we got ahead of them, trapped 22 mice. if you have one, think again. they breed every month
and have 8 or 9 baby's every 30 days. a few months back i left a watering can half filled with runoff, quite a smell. two mice climbed in to sample and drowned. but i have never had any damage. " THOSE LITTLE BASTARDS"
