Day 10- growing. I just noticed some gnats flying around the tent. Top is dry, but there is still plenty of moisture in the pots, and the solos. Not sure which soil they came from, the Fox Farm OF or the Harvest Organics.
I finally got a humidifier to help the whole house, but also the grow room. My curing bags were in the low-mid 50s% humidity, so I also got some 58% boveda packs and got them in my grove bags. I put a couple small lettuce leaves in the bags for a couple hours and that raised the humidity to acceptable levels, and now the boveda packs to maintain them. Small plain lettuce leaves worked well for me, and didn’t add any flavor like an orange peel could. I would rather use a cannabis leaf, but I don’t have any. This forum rocks. I’ve done a little research, and some freeze a couple leaves to keep for this very reason. I intend to for this next run.
Day 14- Watered for the first time in a week. Had to do it in stages because the soil was dry and hydrophobic to start. Ended up using a little over a gallon of pH 6.65 water.
I’ll transplant the solos into 7-gallon pots tomorrow or Friday. Gotta give them a day or 2 to dry a little and grow more. Just seeing a couple roots poking out the bottom now.
Update- Day 35. Been a while since last update and theyre all growing a lot. This time during my previous grow I was 2 weeks into flower! Ive been tying branches down, but havent done much in fan leaf trimming/removal to expose the sites. Today I tied more branches down and removed the fan leaves in the way to expose more sites. I had to top one of the Gelatos in the 2x4 because I was running out of tie-downs! Lol it was getting out-of-hand and had to be done. The SD in the 2x3 has split at least three of its branches into two, making 6! Stretch should be coming soon, especially after this abuse.

Got the same 75 pack of the staples lol. I have plenty more, but feel like I have plenty of tops on her, and I don’t have any more room to tie down another set or two or 3 of branches lol. I’m also using heftier tent stakes that really hold some of them down.
Next day after LST/trim they bounce back and are thirsty. Gave the 2x4 girls half strength FF Grow Big with their water this morning. 2x3 girls got much less abuse and are good till tomorrow for water/feed. 5 weeks in and finally seeing early signs of flowering.
