I watered today with plain water. First cold and then warm water to wash it all down and stay in. They were all dry 3" down and the soil was receding.
Zelda has a lot of new leaf growth now and it’s obvious in the pictures now that I can’t find the stem in a over head shot and the side angle looks like a sativa in flower almost. I can’t wait to flip her to flower to see what she’s going to do with all this extra energy to use in flower. She made a lot of calyx all around herself and that stem is very big. Victorian gardening shears won’t get through that in one go. I’ll definitely be pulling her and drying her roots and all when it’s harvest time. When I checked in Daisey she looked like she was still alive in the bag. I washed her roots off before she went in the drying bag. I’ll add a update on her later once the sun goes out.

Tulip was slightly wilting at the end of the day before, so that was my first sign it was watering time soon once they worked through the water in the soil that was left on bottom. Mid day she started to look low on energy, so I gave her water also. She’s grown a good distance to the lights. She’s 17" from the seedlings light, but 24" from the main lights.

Humidity went and plummeted after they started to dry out and wilt a bit. The basil plants aren’t looking sad yet, but I watered them too.

I just checked the calendar and Zelda is 78 days old today and Tulip is 75 days old at least, but I’m unsure of the specifics until I double check her age. I’ll have to scroll up to check their sprout dates.
Daisey was 11 weeks old at harvest. She seems to be still alive and kicking for some reason. I just checked on her and no mold and it’s looking like she’s still alive in that bag. Her leaves look underwatered, but raised as if she is still a Happy plant. Interesting 
Lights off pictures. Zelda is bushing out nicely now that she’s able to spread her roots better. She’s growing around 1.5" a day as she’s nearly at 17" from 18-19" now I’m excited to see how she is in flower. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the compost today. They didn’t have it, so I’ll have to work with what I have and mix up a topsoil mixed with the acid loving fertilizer now that it’s around a month now since I poorly added it last time. This time I’ll mix in some extra clover seed in hopes it keeps the structure better than it has so far. The middle soil is a clear different structure and where most of the root mass is concentrated.
Zelda
Tulip is looking very happy after watering. Nothing special of note I haven’t mentioned already today with her, but she’s just doing more of the same trying to even out her canopy.

Sorry if I’m not talking a lot. A friend of mine I was just told passed last week and I’m going to my Aunt’s service tomorrow morning. It’s a lot to process rn as the day they passed I was going to have them try dabs for their endometriosis instead of opiates. I convinced them a little too late to try cannabis for pain relief instead and while I know it’s not my fault it still makes me feel awful I couldn’t convince them sooner than last week to try it. It still won’t make me push it on people as it’s still a personal choice. A lot of what if’s are going through my Brain now, so I’ll cut it short.
Leaf health is improving, but slowly. The soil is also working on going from dirt back to soil again.
Zelda is healed up from training it looks like. She’s gone back to focusing on leaf growth again. Various issues are popping up, but she’s not looking concerned about it. It looks like what I was seeing was her working on root growth and the new leaf growth is definitely proof of that. Now she’s going to have a lot of energy to work with and with a denser canopy the soil beneath should stay healthier. Like with Tulip.
Zelda
Tulip is continuing to grow up to the canopy with Zelda, but she’s just not going to be that tall. I’ll have to raise her from below to match the height of Zelda’s canopy.
Tulip
Humidity dropped again anyways, so I’m at a loss for why now. It’s more humid around the house now too.

I like your drying method on Daisey Oni, I’m going to do a paper bag dry on the next one. Something about being protected while transpiring well seems like it makes the most sense!

That was the idea. I have issues with fruit flies and this keeps them away from my plants while in the most sensitive time. Not one had managed to get inside the bag and drying has been managing at a slow pace like desired.
I was able to get home right before lights out, so I have some pics to show. No details today as o wasn’t home to make notes. all have from what I saw is about what you see. Zelda is still happy. Maybe a little wilted, but overall raising most leaves up. I won’t begin to guess why.
GSC looks a little thirsty too. I’ll keep observing. I know days seems to be the average before I see wilting, but that’s also the period to see the effects after watering. I’ll wait a bot more. If I see proper wilting I’ll water again. I’m not dealing with the recovery of overwatering again if I’ve just borderline did it again. LITFA until they ask for water and it’s agreed upon here that I’m not just going crazy. Extreme examples excluded of course as when they lose all life I water no matter what. It’s either fungal or underwatering if I see that. If watering fixes it it was thirsty. If not I likely am fighting a fungal issue and it’s up to a combination of things if they pull through or not especially after watering.
Tl;Dr: the plants all look thirsty, but I just watered them and until they definitely want water I’ll leave them alone.

cant wait to see when the girls get a small hair cut before you switch them to flowering.

They’ll definitely need it. Zelda has some leaves I’ve been pinching off once in a while. She has ones she’s eaten to work on the ones she has now. That board is 17" exactly. I was surprised to find that out once I measured it as you can see I just ripped it blindly.
I’m really liking the vigour on these beans. Even if they wound up male Midna was my best plant to date. Not a single issue the whole time they grew.
Definitely lmk how the f2 and beyond beans behave. I can’t believe the ability to survive and thrive they have. I mean at sprout before they even opened up the cotyledons the roots already poked out of the bottom of the 1" pot.

Zelda is working very hard on leaf growth and calyx development. Various leaves are showing issues, but it’s likely with her pretty unaffected by this as a whole she’s just hungry and my last watering was lacking in something. I haven’t fed her any nutrients in awhile actually, but she does have things in her soil to break down over time.

And
Tulip I may be wrong about. She’s catching up to Zelda fast now. Soon it’ll be time to flower and shell show me just what she’s made of.

Upward growth has seemingly halted on Zelda for now. Works out as I was definitely wrong about Tulip. Tulip has nearly caught up to Zelda in height. It’s actually amusing me as she’s in a smaller pot too. Let’s see if I can manage to even out the canopy by the 16th.

Daisey has nearly dried out her leaves I left on. Buds feel crispy and dense with some spongy feel to it. If nothing else she made some really good buds.
The smell sadly isn’t anything to write home about unless you like stealth weed. All I can smell is tomatoes. The small buds I had to remove before drying tasted like it too. Very strange. The effects were giggly and euphoric. No other notes were kept, but I’ll find out more after a proper dry and cure.
It’s only been 3 days she’s been drying for. Yesterday she still had felt barely alive and now she feels like the resin is drying on the surface and it’s making her crusty before it makes her dry. I know awful word choice, but it’s a texture and visual memory in 1.

I decided to use Daisey’s soil with the clover having such a good time to start a Crystal Candy Auto seedling. With some seedling starter soil left I filled a nursery bag and added it to the hole left by Daisey.
I noticed it was warm to the touch when I handled the soil. Surprising as it’s still too early for my fingers to feel much of anything.
I’ll be giving this plant water only until it’s hungry.
There was a seed I had tested for viability with a squeeze and it cracked open. I planted it in the soil near the middle. The one that didn’t crack under pressure was placed in the middle of the nursery bag

It might be watering day soon, but the leaves aren’t being obvious to me what they want yet.
I’ll be gone all day and leaving in a hour, so if I’m needed to do anything today unfortunately I am going to be out. If things go well I’ll have a new phone finally (well…used).
Now as for what I see today I see a lot of leaves looking nitrogen toxic again and I’m not sure how as I’ve only been adding water for a bit now. Unless the clover got mulched and that’s what I’m seeing now😅
Tulip looks just fine to me and she’s growing taller every day now. She’s occasionally eating a leaf, but overall most of her foliage is happy and healthy.
With humidity being so poor I decided to turn on the humidifier again. I just love this time of year. An occasional spring day with snow covering it up for a week every single time😂 ugh soon it’ll stop snowing and humidity can be more regular and not dry as a bone. Even all that foliage isn’t helping the humidity stay above room humidity. It’s actually lower than the humidity outside the tent. The humidity outside is always 20% minimum and averaging 25% I have no idea why the tent is so low in humidity compared to outside the tent.

Here’s a few shots this morning. They’re starting to look thirsty to me. I’ll find out by the end of the day for sure. Not a lot of details as I just got back from a long walk in the storm. I’ll add details in my next update

I’m testing out camera apps. If my old phone takes better pics I can just use that. I’ve noticed this camera takes better shots of Tulip.
I need to find a good camera app if anyone has any suggestions. One that I can manually control white balance more than anything else otherwise I’m taking shots of very yellow light around the plants.

I found a camera app I like that let’s me use HDR, DRO, and manual color balance. not all 3 at once though as I prefer DRO easily. It’s finally accurate to my eyes and I can show a picture as I see it.

Daisey has been trimmed and weighed out before curing.
She’s an intense lemongrass smell RN with pine fighting for dominance. I still smell tomatoes in her smell too. 8" root length final and 9" above the root to the top.
Overall smell profile I’d give her citrus, floral, sweet, pine, earthy, pepper, and skunk. I can’t wait to see what shell be after curing.
I rolled 0.6g in a joint to smoke test her. I need a little to make me wait properly. It got a oil spot on the paper from how sticky it was.
