I peeked in the tent once I got back home and Zelda has a good leaf angle again. Tulip is aiming herself back up again. Seems the wait was a good thing anyways. She settled into the position I set her in when I bent her. Now that she’s aiming up again the bends have set. I’m glad 
Not much else as I made my time in there short.
I’ll add on anything new at lights on.
Everyone is looking happy as a clam today. Tulip is back to life, Zelda perked up, and the cutting is making new leaves.
Zelda’s pot is in general lighter than it was when I originally put her in it. Even after watering she won’t get as heavy as a 12qt bag of ffof. I just find it strange and curious what’s missing from the soil now.
Tulip may need a quick touch up on her position, but outside of that one stem they’re in a great spot now. She likes the water I gave her. Still not sure when I should add nutrients, but so far they haven’t needed them. It’ll be interesting to see how long until more than a leaf or 2 get sacrificed near the soil occasionally.

With how Zelda is growing I’ll need to train her and spread her out a bit before flower. I nearly got her to stay where if like at least, but slightly off. Can anyone recommend the best course of action to train her?
As for Tulip she’s recovering nicely. I took her bandage off and bow her stem can heal. It grew thicker around the tale used and it looks like I squeezed her stem with it. I tied it loose just to have something covering the break in the stem. Good to know she’s not easy to stop when she’s growing.
It was lst in the end it would seem. She’s growing back into the original shape again though, so I’ll be adjusting her little by little until she’s at a good spot. Once the stems get thick enough I’ll start weight training on her more stubborn stems.
The Basil loves it’s spot now. Before the plants even flower my Basil will be fully established. It’s already doing a great job at keeping humidity up more too. Once all the other plants sprout it’ll be in a good range for flowering finally. It’s definitely light loving and won’t accept being in indirect light. It’s too tall for that yet and even so it responded really well being under the main lights.
The 3 gallon pot under Zelda has cilantro, purple basil, garlic chives, and clover in it. It’s not perfect, but I’ve noticed leaf growth in veg is definitely liking the clover compared to without. That little bit of nitrogen they provide is sizeable enough to keep them Happy when I just feed water.
I haven’t added any nutrients to anything since early February. Compost is the only source of nutrients that’s gone in the pot since then and that was to fix soil structure mostly as it wouldn’t hold water anymore. I still see signs of burning here and there, but overall they’re growing happy.
Not much to add on to the earlier update.
I haven’t been home all day. I took some pictures before lights out.

Today I opened the windows and turned off the heat. I need to get them adjusted to a lower temp. Currently it’s 50% humidity in the tent, so it’s going well so far. 39% for the Lucky’s.
I see Zelda is growing again. My buddy made note of it. Her tops started to grow again. I’ve been giving her 12oz of water daily for the topsoil to feed the clover. She’s been liking it actually. I mainly water at her base though.
Tulip I trained again after she started to point her tops together again. I accidently snapped a stem, so I put electric tape around it this morning. After she got more light exposure the other day she started growing fast. It’s not perfect, but her tops are all separate and space apart currently. I can’t believe the twist in her stem stayed though 
it’s like a snake

Some more pics before lights off. Zelda looks a little droopy, but not overwatered. Just kinda low on energy. In a week she won’t have to push herself past 12 hours a day before she can rest and relax.

I waited to be safe, but Zelda had to be watered today. She was light when I lifted her pot. I scratched the surface and checked 3" down. She’s a little wilted, but she should perk up soon.
Tulip is doing very well after training. Her top is crazy stubborn about being in that spot only. She’s started new growth again. I checked for pods, but so far she is still female luckily. Her soil has started to dry today. It would seem she’s drinking on schedule and not too bothered by training.
The humidity has climbed up a lot finally. After watering Zelda it climbed up about 20%

After watering
Zelda’s cutting looks to have properly rooted now. It’s just a little sad looking until she gets used to not having a dome.
She’s making new calyx and leaves at a steady pace now. I pruned off the leaf tips finally to promote more rooting now that I’m certain she’s made enough roots to handle this.
Zelda perked right up and I moved her to the center of the tent. She’s making new leaves at a good pace finally that aren’t razor thin. She’ll need to be in a better position for flower anyways.
Tulip just looks amazing today! She’s bushing back out again and absolutely loving the training. The new leaves are growing with nice fat fingers. She still has a very slight expression of sex. Only a few nodes here and there have a calyx and pistils on it. No pods or anything other than leaves on a stem.
I rearranged the plants to hopefully spread humidity a little better without dry spots making them work harder. Foliage in the tent is finally getting dense enough to keep enough humidity around the plants. Also for better light exposure to increase light penetration now that I have an idea as to what plant need stop go where to bring the whole tent up higher than 45%. Overall even without moving them the humidity was climbing very fast finally. Though truthfully I added the humidifier back in the room in a new spot that’s been working out well. My goal was to get the room around them higher than 40% humidity. So far goal achieved and the plants are all responding nicely.

Today was watering day. I’ve been out and not able to do the morning update like usual.
Humidity is back up to 50% again.
I watered with 2 teaspoons big bloom fertilizer per gallon of water to add some P&K to help Zelda out. Her stems were turning pink and with all the preflowers she’s been making the soil is likely to want more before long. Zelda looks happy. Also I used a quarter strength for the seedlings and transplants recommended dosage. Some of the leaves started to look much healthier once I got home to check on her.
Tulip might have a mild deficiency now. Maybe zinc. I’m not quite sure yet.
These pictures are from this morning right after watering.
Once I finish this post I’ll be taking lights off pics and finishing up today’s update. I didn’t take many, so no labeling on this post.
And now today’s update.
Zelda has started to grow fan leaves again. She’s decided 5 fingers is the magic number. Leaf growth has become very dense. Growing leaves very close together.
Tulip has made it her mission to reach the same canopy height as Zelda. The clover is just starting to sprout around her soil and she’s not slowing down growth to the point she’s used up more of something in the soil than it can provide for her. I’m guessing zinc, but it may be a magnesium deficiency. I can’t remember what shows in new growth mainly. They seem to almost grow out if it over time, but the fact they have that appearance is my warning to find out what’s wrong before she gets a severe deficiency.
The Basil looks sick, underwatered, or something. I checked the stem and it just drooped like that and sort of trained it’s own top down. It’s not lifeless at all and that bend in it is fairly rigid. I mean if it grows a lot of basil I’m happy no matter what here. My other container I have the garlic, basil, garlic chive, and clover in has started sprouting around the surface. It seems the purple basil might not be sprouting at all. In every pot I put it in it didn’t sprout yet and the sweet basil I sowed in after has popped only 1 so far. The ones I sowed in the clover pot haven’t germinated at all yet, so maybe the purple basil was a bad pack. My mother keeps asking me if they germinated, so I’m guessing hers didn’t either.

After checking up on Zelda this morning I can see the PK boost helped her already. I keep forgetting that ewc are fast acting for effects and I can’t remember what bat guano is for how long it takes to show on the plants after watering.
Her leaves are expressing themselves stronger now. The only way I can describe it is that she’s been wanting the PK for awhile now.
Tulip is just growing quick, but I’d definitely like to give her the missing nutrients she’s asking for. I’m sure she’s going to want them in flower too😅
Pictures to come later.
Zelda’s leaves have started to become wider since I was last in there. It appears that the big bloom helped her out. Her preflowers honestly just look like flowers now😅 great thing she’s getting 12 hours of sleep tonight to finally show off like she wants to.
Tulip is showing her deficiency even stronger now. The lighter edges on the leaves showing on new growth no matter the node or distance from the stem. I’ve been watching her to be sure it wasn’t just how she grows in late veg. if not a deficiency it is pretty looking TBH, but I always prefer that aesthetic on leaves if it’s a natural pattern.

Last pictures before they find out they have a 12 hour sleep tonight. Tulip is drooping, but she’s getting what she wants and is only having to work 12 hour days and she can sleep for 12 hours to get the energy to keep going

I’ll have to keep an eye on Tulip. I checked each node I could check and so far most are definitely female, but one node in particular I’ll keep an eye on. It’s where I had accidentally snapped the stem of a branch during training. The node right above that one has an ambiguous preflower. It almost looks like a pod, but it’s still too small to see properly. The rest of her nodes have popped out pistils and are expressing female, so I’ll hope for the best here.
It’s watering day again. Zelda drank up her water so fast after the last watering it’s completely dry today 4" down. I’m getting water ready for them now. She still isn’t making any smells I can notice yet. She’s so happy looking though and definitely is thanking me for letting her finally go into flower.

I was out a lot today, but the walks have been good for my mental health anyways. I managed to get home just in time for some pictures. No significant smell change yet. I did notice that Zelda had a very strong basil note. Though it could be the Basil right under her TBH. Either way the Basil is doing it’s job properly. The garlic is growing at a good pace too, so by the time they all start budding the tent will be filled with garlic and basil smells to keep the pests away. Unfortunately it also means I may have to do a stem rub for Zelda’s smell. Tulip though is just a pungent nose curling skunk right now.
Upside is my humidity is struggling to climb above 45%
At least the humidity in flower is a good VPD😅

In my searches for strains for my sister I ran across this one. And I knew you would like it. Here check it out: Blue Ice

Damn I’ll have to grow that one when I can. CBC and CBG are my top 2 favorite cannabinoids. CBC doesn’t dampen a high like CBD, but it’s still 10x stronger at killing anxiety, depression, and pain. CBG I’ll be honest I need to do more research on. I just know the feeling of when I get it in my system. My scoliosis for a time isn’t able to warp my spine and in fact will correct itself. It’s nice, but jarring.
What’s Superbeef when it’s at home like?
Have a try with the light turned off and use your flash.
No offence Oni, but it looks like you are over doing it on the feed with Zelda, the other plant looks like it’s following suit too.
