4.11 I’m so very sorry I bent Star so badly idk if her stem will ever go upright again. Runt is flourishing. I’ve learned how to LST gently now, only to benefit the plant’s ability to reach the light.

I thought I HAD to SCROG and LST before the plant needed it. Hurry hurry, right? No! I HAVE TO do what the plant wants, not what I’m told they might need. Lesson learned and it’s a huge one!

4.12 Still debating the humidifier. Y’all, my leaves are crinkly and pleated down the veins of the fingers and idk what they’re trying to tell me. I gave em a good watering, just a hair under 16oz purified each. I just watered until I saw runoff. I took Runt’s ugly lower leaf off. I gotta FIM less, smile more. I’m not throwing away my…shot.

Solution to try - wait 3 days or so and water with CalMag. Could be a magnesium deficiency, since I’m not using nutes and only used FFHF

4.14 Stick-looking Star is still alive. I was able to tug the jute on the side to make her stem a bit more upright. Gals are well hydrated now and will get CalMag next water. I will not prune Runt’s ugly bottom leaf until she gets more fans to replace it. Ya see it on the bottom right? I really checked all over for any micro bugs and couldn’t find anything. We’re clawing, canoeing, praying. Pick your label. I’m still debating the humidifier. I reckon ima listen to their granddaddy and go get one before Easter.

4.15 They’re tacoing. I turned my TSL 2000 back down to a hair under 50. I should listen to the plants more than people. Makes me even more timid of buying a humidifier. “They’re not growing cause RH is too low” at 42-58%. I think it’s fine. I think they need a little less light and some time, maybe some CalMag. Ugh, I don’t feel good about a humidifier. Idk man, I just don’t.

4.16 Gals change from perky to drooping for water every 3-4 days. Their pics tell on em. They got their CalMag today, mostly for the mag, so watch em look too sexy tomorrow. Then they’ll be ready for their photo ops.

4.17 There IS a smell of earthy hemp when I open my tent, but not of smoke-like cannabis. Smells like success and potting soil. I found a dead yellow jacket in there. It must’ve been drawn to the heater when the back door was also open. No harm done…to the gals. RIP lil stinger.
