**Chapter 4: Root Building is the Foundation** *26.11.2025-Day 16(Week 3)* Yesterday, **November 25th**, officially kicked off Week 3 of Vegetation. That means our girls are today *16 days * into the active veg cycle (measured from the cotyledons on 10.11). **The Morning Droop Mystery Solved:** You'll notice the leaves in the photos are a bit droopy/downcast. Don't worry, this isn't stress or a deficiency—it's just a routine event: 1. Night-Time 🌕 Application: I hit them with their foliar spray (PPM) right before lights out yesterday. Foliar feeds must be applied in the dark to prevent light burn. 2. Lights-On shock⚡️: The pictures were snapped right after the tent lights came on. After a long night, and with the spray still on the leaves, it takes them a little while to "wake up" and lift their “solar panels” back up. They'll be fully standing and stretching within the hour! **A Quick Note on Size vs. Time:** Some people at #weedstr might look at Week 3 and expect bigger plants, but here’s a tip for anyone running an organic system: Don't panic about size in the early stages! **In Living Soil, the plant spends these first few weeks building a massive, resilient root system and linking up with the soil’s microbial life.** 🐛 Hopium for the week 4 🤲🏻🤲🏻
