This week has been good, I am starting her inside a solo cup in Mother Earth soil which has some nutrients for the first 3 weeks of the plant's life, and when the weather is a little more reliable I will move her into 5gal pots outside in my new greenhouse. She should only be indoors under my 100 watt light for another week maybe two max, and when I move her outside I'm also going to be purchasing a couple of clones from a clone store where I live. Last year I purchased some seeds from a random dispensary and got some results, however, I had no idea what I was doing have learned a lot since then. I'll be glad to see my improvements and take you all along the ride!

This week was definitely a learning curve. Halfway through the week, my light dropped while I was adjusting the height. Luckily it didn't do too much to the plant except bend the stem just a tad and ding up some of the leaves. Besides that little hiccup, the week went by pretty nicely, I took her out to get some sun for an hour or two towards the end of the week just to try to get her a little acclimated before the transplant and being outside 24/7.

This week I finally transplanted outside! The first day however I wasn't used to the fabric pots and when I thought I watered it obviously wasn't enough because my plants almost died in the greenhouse also the temps were really high in the greenhouse (95 degrees) because I didn't put a fan in there or remember to open a window, so those contributors killed a few of the leaves on a couple of plants, luckily I got back from the store to see the problem and solve the problem. They got some Kangaroots from fox farm and I can tell they definitely liked it, will for sure be giving them another tablespoon of that next week. I am happy with the two clones from Freeworld Genetics I got at a local clone bar in my city, and they are looking nice. I will probably start lst them next week.

Again, this week was definitely a learning curve, had to keep a close eye on the greenhouse and the temperatures and which places are best to keep the fans so it's a little cooler in there. I also had more watering issues and just wasn't giving them enough. I think it's just because I'm so paranoid of overwatering. So in consequence, at the beginning of the week with my pots being dry along with a greenhouse that was at 90 degrees Fahrenheit and only 30 percent humidity my plants began to wilt and almost died, and I didn't water them enough so when they stopped wilting the leaves started taco-ing (I think the heat of greenhouse also contributed to that). So after I realized I needed to water more I made sure I watered each pot really good with about half a gallon of ph'd water until I saw a good amount of runoff, and they definitely enjoyed it, and 3 days later when the pots were noticeably lighter I gave them another good watering with a little bit of Kangaroots and CaliMagic.

Notes for the week Sprayed the plants with a diluted mixture of neem oil and a little organic dish soap earlier this week, and I plan to do that every 2 weeks. Have been doing a lot of lst throughout the days with adjusting the wires and whatnot. The plants are growing so fast I have to adjust each plant when I water pretty much.

Grow Questions

NewbieGrowmiestarted grow question 4 years ago
What should my ppm be when I began to start feeding nutrients? My soil has nutrients pre-amended for the first 3 weeks, it's been three weeks and it's 1800 (my tap water is 200). That seems pretty high for 3 weeks after the plants have been in the soil. Thanks!

You’re not watering enough, the Nitrogen turns into NaCl after a while when not being used. You must pour enough water to get about 20% of drain to rinse the extra salts from the pot.

This week has been pretty good, and I've learned a lot. I flushed all of my plants at the beginning of the week, after figuring out that I had a lot of salt built up because I wasn't watering enough. So I've adjusted my watering making sure there is about 20% runoff each time. Also started giving some of the plant's nutrients, I didn't give feed all four because a couple of them didn't seem like they needed it, plus I think it'll be better to wait for them to talk to me like the other plants did by showing a lighter green color in new growth and having low ppm. I heard the advice less is more, so I'm being sure to be diligent about feeding them. Defoliated a little bit after low & high-stress training, and the plants seem to be very happy I couldn't be more excited to see the future progress I make. I also want to note that I'm not gonna try to put the exact measurements for the nutrients as each plant is different, I will add the nutrients I use throughout each week though.

I defoliated the plants a little bit and re-adjusted my lst ties, they really are starting to blow up, I also flushed my plants and all my ppms are low now so I'm going to start feeding them based on the ppm of the runoff of each plant, but they are all looking hungry so time to roid them up!

Great growth this week, I'm also very happy I have a greenhouse as we got hail and I know it would have messed up the girls. Besides the unexpected hailstorm this week the weather has been really hot and sunny and the garden is really starting to pop. I upped the feeding on all of the plants as they seemed hungry the past couple of weeks, I just don't wanna overdue it with the nutes.

This week the grils have been growing like mad! They won't fit into the greenhouse anymore which was nice in case it hailed or anything like that, but i'm sure they will be fine. I'm going to spray the plants with azamax every three days for two weeks which should help with my bug problem.

This week has been good, I transplanted the tribute Bx1 into a 10-gallon pot because it was outgrowing the 5-gallon fabric pot really fast. I would have done it earlier but had been so busy with work, and I also didn't want to transplant her and risk shocking her when she starts to preflower, but I decided to do it anyways and she honestly didn't seem like she was shocked at all, but in fact a little more happy the day after. The plants are also starting to get really bushy so I'm gonna give her a good haircut next week.

This week has been good, at the end of this week they started to stretch and enter preflower. I defoliated a bit to let more light deeper into the canopy.

They all did good with pests, I think they could have performed a lot better because I only used a 5-gallon fabric pot and they didn't get to grow as big as I'm sure they wanted. It all worked out perfectly though because all 5 plants were crammed as is on my deck and if they were any bigger I'm sure they would have caught some unwanted attention and made watering a living nightmare for me. Even with having such small pots they still gave me a little under 2 pounds of some high-quality product which is plenty for me and my family until next year. Definitely gonna be better & bigger next year.

I learned so much and am very happy with the results! All plants are jarred and curing at 60-62%, all of them have a special and unique smell, I can't wait until curing is done because they already smell so great, and knowing it's only gonna get better and more smooth makes me very excited. Tribute Bx1 smells really gassy or like dirty feet, not my favorite, still smells good though. OJ Kush smells really fruity and is by far my favorite, it kind of smells like how grape Gatorade tastes if that makes any sense. Woah- Si - Woah smells like Hershey's chocolate. Lemon Creamsicle smells really cheesy with a tiny hint of lemon. Free MAC smells a little bit like a candy cane with a hint of chocolate. Oh and also trim-bins are the best, I'm drowning in keif and can officially say the hard work has paid off 👽😅👌

If you're using dry amendments, slow release and/or organics. The ppm will always be high because the plants take what they need when they need it. It's a very different way of feeding to using liquid feed
NewbieGrowmie
NewbieGrowmiecommented4 years ago
@Fruitgrower, Thanks, definitely noted for next year! I was a little thrown off when I saw the ppm that high. I was able to get my watering under control (I wasn't watering enough so everything my plant didn't eat just turned to salt build-up). I now have my plants at around 600-900. It's cool seeing the difference in the genetics in each plant and how some require more, and some require less, but it's also a pain in the ass 😂.
