New Grower Hog's First Grow

[Hog_M@Gundy]

Afternoon Temp:78
Humidity: 68%
Today I ponytailed the Muchachas for 4 hours and did some leaf tucking on #2. Also clipped off the leaves on #2 that were hitting the ground. FS has slowed down, i think i gave it too much water. SNxPP is getting wider but not putting on much growth underneath. Just gonna let it ride at this point. I'll keep ponytailing the Muchachas for a few hours each day and leaf tucking as needed.

Temp:76°
RH: 62%
Light: 18" @ 65%

Did another round of ponytailing on the Muchachas for 4 hrs. Will leave them alone for the next couple days. Forum Stomper is packing on a bunch underneath. SNxPP is just doing its thing. Still battling fungus gnats as you can see, but another couple rounds of BTi and neem should hopefully break the cycle.

Any thoughts/advice? I think they're okay, all things considered, but im wondering if there's anything I'm missing. Temp stays between 72-78, RH from 60-70. Light is 18/6 16" above @ 65%. Thanks in advance!:smoking:

Your name has been stuck in my head, I keep saying it and the fam is like WTF is that. I think it’s looking good I especially like the lady in the second to last photo nice structure in the making there

Thanks, was feeling okay about things but having no real frame of reference I tend to second guess everything. And yeah, the second to last pic is Forum Stomper. It's been the best throughout.

I think they all look pretty good. Get that gnat issue sorted and full speed ahead.

You're looking good man! I would say keep doing what you're doing. Looks like you have the gnat issue handled but if it happens to get worse grab some nematodes. The plants love them and they will eat all those gnat larvae, usually what I use if all else fails.

Is it weird that I've been doing the same thing?

Thanks friend, its good to get a little reassurance. And, as shitty as the gnats are, at least it gives me something to do. Finding it hard not to mess with them, or to just start more plants, lol.
Strawberry Nuggets x Pink Panama got the worst of the infestation, which probably explains why its lagging behind. But seems poised to be the biggest of the bunch if it ever takes off..
Well, it's off to confer on battle strategy with General Neem and Col. BTi. Hope yall have a great day!

As much as they are a pain I have yet to have an entire grow where I haven't had to deal with them while using soil like OF unless I used nematodes right in the beginning. They are annoying but for the most part harmless if kept under control. I usually will find one or two here and there on my sticky traps and that's it.

Things are looking pretty good! A little discoloration on fan leaves of both Muchachas which I will keep an eye on. Not sure the cause, possibly overfeeding? They're all getting more thirsty and will need water tomorrow. Will give a foliar feeding at lights out and FOOP tomorrow.
