Jimski grow journal #2 Back to my roots

Update.
Fed larger plant 2.5 liter and week 9 foop and cal-mag plus at 3ml rate pH 6.31
Smaller plant heavy still no feed.
Plants stalled. Every cola has a tiny new calyx with fur sticking out of the very top. No new undergrowth but the mini buds keep expanding. 4 of my lower plant buds have creeped up to 3 inch runs and are full of cloudy trics.

Started work on my basement bedroom that is becoming my dedicated grow room. Getting a better sealing door and cutting some holes for duct runs. Also just remembered I will have to relocate my 30amp service I put out in the main area where tent is now. No biggy I used the runs for the old baseboard heat to pull the wire I will just reverse that task about 25 feet and pull em back out.

Been wondering why this grow seems stalled. I started counting flower at the flip but the plants did not show pistles until 10 days later. More like week 8 than 10.

Carry on plants.

Thanks man.
Told myself that the only way this becomes a learning tool for me is to write down the brutally honest assessment of what happened. No covering up leaving the cap off the PH pen or forgetting to put the duct fan back on and having to use the app as a crutch if I forget.

I made mistakes but not the same one twice. A lot of mistakes were not made by me but were already made by other growers and I got to dodge those problems. In addition the PH pen was a lesson I did not learn properly the first grow. Never should have tried to use a $39.99 pH/EC set and in hydro no lese. A very expensive mistake that was not repeated.in this grow due to the natural soil used and not needing to PH the water until flowering nutes were added.
And get this. I was going to use that pen. I was until I did a very unusual action in forgetting to recap the PH pen. I had never done this and in fact I am surprised that the OCD part of my brain was not screaming that something is different something is not where it belongs. Instead I left the cap off the pen and had to buy an expensive proper tool for the grow.
Sometimes the universe fixes stuff on its own.

Amen brother. And it shows

Update.

Fed smaller plant 1.7 liters foop at week 9 strength. Time to taper down a bit.

Still seeing random new pops on larger flowers, calyxes with small fur but no new pistles.

Smaller plant is browning up and shrinking now. Larger plant fading leaves and holding steady.

I have seen journals and active grows right now where the smaller plants crappy leaves were present but no smoke reports. The leaf issue has not made it into the flowers.

Was hoping to launch next grow by April 1 as this gets me to next harvest by vacation time.
