Indoor Shadowgrows a Purple Rolex and Creme de la Chem

[Shadowgrows]

Thank you both for the advice. I ended up leaving everything alone and it is not visibly spreading off of the pumice. Thinking back... I am pretty sure this happened on my first grow but thought nothing of it. My record keeping is terrible so the notes are long gone for that grow.
This morning marks the seventh day both CDLC and Purple Rolex have been above ground. Purple Rolex is at or a little over three inches tall. CDLC is almost half the height but the other two of this strain I have grown were pretty short also. They look happy and that’s all that matters to me. I did not have time this morning so tomorrow at lights on, I will water with fresh aloe puréed with some H2O! Next week the no-till bed will get an SST and the Purple Pope will get its first top dressing of Terp Tea Grow. Tent Temperatures have been hanging around 72 degrees Fahrenheit due to the spring weather fluctuations. In a few weeks I will be complaining about the heat... hah!

My overwatering habits bit me in the ass again. Creme de la Chem is suffering the most. She has not been watered since Friday the 2nd. This morning I did moisten the top of the soil with maybe quart of water. I’m leaving her be for now until the Barley SST is ready in a few days.

Purple Rolex is rolling along nicely. It is hard to over water Air-Pots This lady will get her first top dressing of Terp Tea Grow in two days.

Tent heat and humidity has been a consistent 74 degrees Fahrenheit and 53% RH. The ladies look healthy minus the stunted growth of CDLC caused by my overwatering. I found a balled up handful of worms between the tent wall and the no-till pot. They had bailed over the side during lights out. Not sure if that is another indication of overwatering or not but felt it worthy enough to notate it. Purple Rolex had her first top dress of Terp Tea Grow this morning.

Today marks day twenty one for the ladies above ground. Purple Rolex is doing fantastic and I messed up Creme de la Chem pretty bad. She is badly stunted. I am pretty positive it has been root issues do to the obsessive overwatering and possibly the way I mulched the top of the pot before planting. Every day in life brings a new lesson. I’m just too ignorant to learn from the overwatering lessons it seems haha!
CDLC first picture is to give an idea of how stunted she is with very little internode spacing.


Purple Rolex- Topped yesterday on day 20 and second application of Terp Tea Grow this morning.

Hello all,
Today marks day 28 of life for both of the ladies. CDLC is in bad shape with what I think looks like a Nitrogen issue. This would not surprise me since I cut my last cover crop, then covered the clippings with compost. Almost positive that has been the “Root” of her issues... all pun intended. Purple Rolex got her legs spread and trimmed under the skirt. Her leaves are a little droopy this morning from the stress, but otherwise great and got her third application of Terp Tea Grow.
Size Reference: CDLC in the brown pot. Purple Rolex in the black one.

CDLC side view. I am determined to get some amount of smoke out of her, damnit! So I tied her down sideways and trimmed a few things. Goal is to make this her last bit of stress before flower.

Good morning all,
CDLC is looking more healthy. Purple Rolex has droopy leaves and lower sets are turning light green. I watered with coconut water this morning to give the micro life a boost. The Purple Rolex gets her first feeding of TerpTea Bloom on Thursday. I am going to brew a simple compost tea for the CDLC this week and shoot to apply it on Friday or Saturday.

Good morning,
0630 this morning, shortly after lights on, tent temperature was 71 Fahrenheit and RH was 60%. The new AutoCobs were installed and powered on yesterday morning at lights on and the plants have responded very well. Purple Rolex got her first application of Terp Tea Bloom although I feel I am a week behind on what the plant needs. Some of the lower leaves are fading.
Top four leaves are from the Purple Rolex

Would the cover crop have time to fix N (or other nutes for that matter) over the life cycle of a weed plant? I see them used in the field before a growing season, I thought so that the material is broken down sufficiently enough to become accessible when the main crop needs it. It looks pretty nifty nonetheless and makes for a nicer grow space, but I'm not sure what effect it would have on the nutrition of the cannabis other than maybe competing, especially for N in these stages. I'm no expert. Cheers

They do help bring in some nitrogen from the air from what I understand. But the primary reason I use the cover crop is for the moisture it helps keep in the top layer.
