God’s Gift – Week 1 of Vegetative Stage
With two fully developed nodes and a third beginning to expand, both God’s Gift plants have officially entered early vegetative growth. Each spent about nine days in the seedling stage, and today marks day 11 post-emergence - day 2 of early veg.
Because I’m growing in an inert medium (PRO-Mix HP-CC Mycorrhizae High Porosity), I’ve been feeding with every watering to provide consistent nutrition. Water is applied in a ring around each plant to promote lateral root expansion, and I’m currently maintaining an every-other-day watering schedule.
As of today, GG1 stands 4.5 inches tall and GG2 is 4 inches tall, both showing strong posture and tight internodal spacing. I’m deliberately pushing light intensity at this stage to encourage sturdy, compact growth - maintaining 465–570 PPFD (DLI 30–31) with the fixture positioned 15.5–16.5 inches above the canopy.
The plants are handling the environment well and responding as expected under the increased intensity - a promising start to their vegetative development.
