Flying High w . Hawk - 2024 Grow Journal

Day 28. Finally got a chance to do some work on my tent. Set humidity to 70% on the new humidifier. Added another fan. Attempted to fix the two Autos: dug them out w. all roots intact, added a LOT of Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and Perlite to the 7-gallon grow pots.

Fed all 4 plants their first dose of GeoFlora Veg – 2 Tbs each to the 1-gallon Photos and 2/3 cup each to the 7-gallon Autos. Gave all of them a thorough watering. Hopefully, they’ll all respond well.

Am I right that I can top one of my Photos at this point? Sure looks like it!

Day 34. Watered the two Photos. Looks like there will be a different watering schedule for the Autos and Photos since the 1-gallon grow pots will dry out much faster than the 7-gallon grow pots. All continue to look pretty good. Maybe a bit smaller than they should be, but healthy and growing.

One of the Photos looks like it’s leaves are starting to yellow. What’s going on there and what do I need to do to get the color back to a dark green?

The other Photo looks like it’s leaves are starting to yellow as well. Checked pH of soil – all 4 plants are at a pH of 7.

Added some CalMag to the water. Watered the two Photos. Will set up some LST (Low Stress Training) for all 4 plants tomorrow.

Day 39. Topped the two Photos. Started LST (Low Stress Training) on both the Autos and Photos. Watered all (CalMag added). Very surprised that the two Autos were already dry!

First time trying LST - does it look right?

If anyone who sees these posts has any advice / comments, I'd GREATLY appreciate reading them!!

Day 41. Tried to tie down the base of the plant stems to anchor them. Hopefully, this works. Also, can one of my Autos already have started to flower (last picture)??

Looks like your plants are starting to turn around nicely from the light green you were trying to fix, nice. How much calmag did you add to the water?

If in the future you wanted to mix a foliar spray for quick nutrient uptake through the leaves, I can share a simple recipe I do, really helps with all around growth.

I start with a liter of water (or sometimes half, depending on how much I'd need to spray.)

Per 1 liter
-1ml calmag
Next two products are not necessary but they do help with overall growth.
-1ml potassium silicate (helps strength plants structure and leaf from pests)
-1ml seaweed extract (natural plant growth hormones and micronutrients)

Drops of pH down (phosphoric acid) adjusting pH of solution to ~6.2


Being on the east coast, do you have a higher ambient humidity? I'd assume that you'd eventually need a dehumidifier (especially during flower) to keep your humidity in check.


Hope this helps! Let me/us know if you have questions, happy to help.

Welcome to the forum and the growing experience. Hope you enjoy your stay and learn lots while you're here. Plant training looks great! Keep up the good work.
