Day 3

I transplanted my baby, and i added perlite to the top of the pot. I haven't water her with the nutes yet, but when I do I plan to start at 1/4 strength for the first week. Than bump it to full if I don't see signs of nute burn.

This is going to be the first time i am using nutes, so any advice would be coo.

Have you checked for bugs? Id check now to be honest, transporting it can get a lot of random things on there.

Day 5
I just watered her. I added 1/2 tsp of grow big and 1/2 tbl of Big Bloom. I used 4 cups from my 1 gallon water container. When next week rolls around I think i will either go 1/2 or full strength depending on how my baby is looking.

A little update. I plan to follow this chart for my feeding schedule. You can download the PDF from fox farms website.

i checked on my baby and there is signs of SLIGHT nute burn. So looks like i plan to water with nutes every other water. And maybe keep it 1/4 or less strength till she is root bound.

You really need to get a PH checker as well, It's greatly needed if you want to have success

Day 10
The nute burn was slight so i am going to keep on with the 1/4 nute feeding. I think by day 20 or so is when i will top her.

I am starting to think i will redo the mod. Too much heat is getting on my baby, and now i think she will love me more if i had the 120mm in a "free" position. Stoner mistake . The mod is covering 2 80mm intake holes, so more work for my 92mm fan. What you think?

Other than me modding; She is doing great. The lst technique is 3 pieces of string. When i use up the 3rd i remove the last 2 and wait 2-3 days for new growth. From what I see if i had her growing vertically i think she would be short and fat

this is just a guess but maybe its getting tricked by the white paper under your plant

i think that might be right on the money. And it's not paper it's the same reflective material i used for my walls.

yeah id remove that, in nature the plants are use to having dark rich non reflective soil beneath them.

I put it there to help stop the bug attraction. Like i have seen with plenty of other growers. But i will think about it.
