Feminized Garlic Budder Indoor Run 2021

4130vvbud 4/29/21 Watered thoroughly to runoff from bone dry. Babies are responding well, two plants are later starts ( 1 week ). I messed up and overwatered while germinating the initial seeds. 5/02/21 My bag seeds all have popped their seed, except one ( just breached plug ). Will be growing these outdoor. -2 Cuvée Cookies -4 Doc OG -1 unknown Tahoe OG ?

4130vvbud 05/06/2021 Topped three of the plants at the 4th node, normally I do it at the 6th. They are responding well, although center plant ( not topped) is a bit stressed. I have been watering when bone dry, will start mild mix of Roots Organics liquid nutrients soon. Forgive the sticky traps I have soil gnats, the place where I get my soil doesn’t store their bags properly.

4130vvbud 05/13/2021 Just been watering this week.

4130vvbud 05/24/2021 Plants are well, sorry about the weak photos. A bit lazy today.

4130vvbud Fed this week with Terp Tea as top dressing.

4130vvbud 06/11/2021 Desperately need to transplant to 5 gal. pots, will likely do it this Wednesday when I harvest in my tent. May have to supercrop ( HST ) awhile after transplanting, the canopy is too tall and lacks in nodes per plant.

4130vvbud 07/04/2021 Day 2 of ~70 days flowering cycle. Had to do some serious HST over a week ago, plants were way to tall! Not a bad problem, still unsure how much taller they’ll get during the “stretch.” Fed with Roots Organics liquid nutrients week 1 of scheduled feeding.

4130vvbud 07/11/2021 Day 9 of ~70 day flowering cycle. Fed @ 5 ml per gallon with RO liquid nutrients week 2 of schedule. Worried about them stretching too tall, only have 12”-16” between fan/filter and light.

4130vvbud 07/19/2021 Day 17 of ~70 days flowering cycle. Overall plants are doing well, fan leaves are “praying” 24/7. However, I had to remove a lot of lower bud growth on a couple plants. They were herm-ing out at the primary calyx on the lower nodes. Likely due to the HST a several weeks ago. None of the pods were developed enough to open thankfully. So now I just have to keep a close eye and remove any more that pop up. Wish me luck!

4130vvbud 07/25/2021 Day 23 of ~70 days flowering cycle. Defoliated the plants today to give the budlets more light. Fed them Roots Organics nutrients, Week 4 of feeding for flowering cycle.

4130vvbud 08/01/2021 Day 30 of ~70 days of flowering cycle. Everything is going well. Removed some yellow fan leaves. There seems to be some minor seeding due to the earlier “herm-ing” that occurred weeks ago.

4130vvbud 08/09/2021 Day 38 of ~70 days of flowering cycle. All is well, removed yellow fan leaves. Looks like a bit of rusting on a couple of leaves.

4130vvbud 08/16/2021 Day 45 of ~70 days of flowering cycle. Had to raise the lights today, they are at maximum height. The rusting on the upper leaves was likely caused by the lights being too low. Also supported colas with yo-yos and tied some with string, since the plants are top heavy and tall. Only a few weeks to go, hooray!

4130vvbud 08/22/2021 Day 51 of ~70 day flowering cycle. Finally got some 5’ stakes, thus properly supported the heavy buds. This will be the last feeding, from now on I will flush w/RO water.

4130vvbud 08/29/2021 Day 58 of ~70 days of flowering cycle. Beginning to flush for the final two weeks. Plants have milky white with a tinge of Amber trichromes. They’ll be ready in no time. 🤗

4130vvbud 09/06/2021 Day 65 of ~70 days of flowering cycle. Have flushed the plants with reverse osmosis water to ~ +10% for 3x in the last 1.5 week. Will likely water once more tomorrow and harvest Fri. morning. before the lights turn on.

4130vvbud 9/11/2021 Yesterday I harvested the plants and trimmed most of the large fan leaves. The buds were so sticky and mad funky. So the drying process begins. I live in a warm area and have no small a/c to lower the room temps. Therefore I have an issue keeping the temperature below 74 degrees. Thus I hang the plants whole and will keep the humidity @ 60% for a day or so. Then I will gradually reduce the RH @ 5% for three or more days.

4130vvbud Overall this grow went well, I had some timing issues in my behalf. The flower is amazing and extremely potent! So good I have more growing now rather than switching cultivars. This time I’m growing using Nebula’s manifold technique. Check out my other diary.
