New Grower My first grow

Journal Day 22
22 and 29 days old

Yesterday I topped 3 of the 4 with the big slow poke Grappa still popping out her 5th nodes. I topped 2 of them after 5th nodes but one of the Owl Pellets went turbo on me and had already produced the 6th node so I topped it 6/7. Totally snuck that by me, I had to count like 5 times until I believed it. The younger siblings have matched their elders day for day in growth and are starting to get pretty darn bushy. Tomorrow after work I’ll do some light branch pulling. It’s nice having a set that’s a week older to see what’s worked for me, I’d actually suggest it to fellow newbies. Knowing the future is pretty handy.

Some nice stretch starting to happen on the older 2 to go along with a few pistils. My guess is that’s pre-flowering? They’ve grown 7” since Sunday when I rigged the pullies so I raised light 3” to compromise with smaller plants. Manufacturer suggests 36” so I’m using that as a middle ground and I currently have the light 32” and 40”. The current ppfd is 590-620 for smaller and 704/685 taller. That feels good for a while so I’ll plan to raise light with the plant until I can’t anymore. Trying hard to avoid drastic changes because I’ve read that can stress and hermie your kids.

Everyone still looking happy except for the random splash and tear marks, no signs of any tomfoolery. Excited to see some pistils and getting on to the next stage. Happy growing! Peace

Happy accident for sure although I’m starting to wonder if 6 are gonna fit comfortably. Seems like there could be a light fight in the future.
 
Journal Day 24
24 and 31 days old

Everything is going smooth so far and everyone appears happy. I hadn’t considered the chlorine in the tap water so I bought a filter and apologized for feeding them pool water. The only concern I have at this point is the purple color in the stems and branches on one of the Strawberry Nugget girls. I’ve read it could be a stress symptom and I’ve read it could be genetics but her twin has no sign of it. They’re different looking anyways so I’m not stressed, just a little concerned. No changes to note, just another beautiful day. Peace

Growth is looking very well in there. You are going to have your hands full pretty soon!
Yeah man I was just thinking about how the tent is going to shrink real soon. Hopefully I can maintain light on lower colas when it gets crowded. I’ll be trying some sort of net/ribbon system for each plant next run. I like the idea of bamboo poles with ribbon because it seems like it would be more custom fit.
 
Looks good in there. Sometime the red is a reaction to the light. Kind of like sun tan. As long as the under side of the stem is green you should be OK.

Thanks for that man, coincidentally I just raised it a few minutes ago. They grew 3 inches in 2 days, crazy.
 
Wanna give a quick shout out to all you awesome growfriends out there. Whether it’s posting your grows or helping us newbies I’m really grateful for you guys and this site because I’m doing this by myself but I’m never alone! So keep up the good work, I appreciate you. Peace
