Howdy folks! Never really sure how to set up/structure the info in these grow logs, so I'll try to keep it short & sweet!

Strain: HSO Blue Dream Auto
Lights: Big Smo's Autocobs x2 running 18/6
Tent: 2.5"x2.5"x6"
Medium: Hempy Bucket w/Growstones (Mix This! size) rinsed & Ph'd as recommended
Nutes: ArmorSi/MaxiBloom/CaliMagic/Mammoth P/Tap Water PH'd to 5.8
Environment: RH/Temp: 50-55% & 77-74F during lights off, 43-47% & 84-88F during lights on. (high temps are due to us being stuck in a heat wave the past few days. Tent usually keeps to 84F.)

Started in rockwool cubes on 5/29, seedlings emerged on 6/2. Both seedlings looked a little wonky - one stretched quite a bit right off the bat and had very small cotyledons, and both had their tops tilted sideways for the first couple days. Also, Lefty seemed to have some type of whiteish mottling on the leaves. I posted a couple pics in the Infirmary (reposted below as well) and was advised to just wait and see, so I did. Potted em up and gave each a pint of PH'd water to start 'em off. They got water for the first four days, then full strength nutes since.

So here it is twelve days later, and I guess it's time for me to start a journal. :biggrin:

Not much else more to report - here's some pics of the ladies (Lefty & Righty). Thanks for looking! :thumbsup:

Here's Lefty a few days from sprout. See the whitish coloration?

Here's Lefty now, at Day 12. See the white now? The seedling seems to be growing fine, but I'd love to know what the deal is with this little lady. Anyone know? @Waira ?

And one quick one of Righty. She's got a little less substrate, so she's going to look smaller overall because of that but of the two she's much shorter and compact, with much fatter Indica-ish leaning leaves.

And a shot of them both together under the Autocobs. So far, I'm loving the hell out of these lights and so are my plants. Much, much easier to work with than my pair of Mars Hydro 300w's, and way cooler too. Even after running for 16-18 hours I can hold them by their heatsinks if I need to move or remove them from the tent. TONS of light, too.

Please excuse the filter-on-the-floor-with-gorilla-tape monstrosity, lol. Will be upgrading to a non-shitty fan soon!

That's all for now! Thanks for looking, feel free to leave a comment! :thanks:

Right on! I really can't wait. Blue Dream is one of my favorite strains, and it's been really tough to find around here on the street market for quite awhile. What kind of yields do you tend to see, bro? We're both running Hempy's with KISS nutes too, yeah? And ever seen the issue I'm having with Lefty in any of your plants? Seems to be growing fine, at least.
 
Hmmm, ive seen that growth trait in some of my plants, and a few more people asking about it.. I do not know if a cause was ever pinpointed since the plants outgrow it pretty quickly...my Blue Dream plants grew like night and day, one huge one small and the ithers in between... But i was using a circular training method back then...
 
Okay that message didnt make sense.. There are many members who have seen that trait, but i dont know if a cause was ever pinpointed

Fair enough. I was worried initially, because it looked a lot like how Cucumber Mosaic Virus looked in my veg garden in years past, so I was concerned I'd have to cull the plant, but so far so good. :thumbsup:
