I broke off some tops while trying to tuck leaves and LST. I messed up and now hope they do not die. This was supposed to be for fun and some free smoke. But now they are like my weed kids just wanting them to be their best. WEIRD!

Just And H2O with nutes. Just letting them grow with constant leaf tucking what a pain. But they need the light.

Plants look good to me. Are they are filling in or are they small for this stage of their growth? Used a small handheld microscope and they have lots of clear little mushroom looking things on buds and on leaves. I have seen others pics so where are the nice size buds on mine? Did I do something wrong?

Week 9 done. And having problem was told to water till runoff and I did and now I have leaves damaged. Mostly on the GG#4. I Am using Cal-Mag now to try and correct this problem. I am sticking back to my normal watering habits. And my hands are getting really sticky after tucking leaves and opening up canopy for light. But that is a good thing right? The trichrome thingies are starting their change from clear to cloudy. Still mostly clear but it's happening. Getting near the end and don't want to destroy them now. Any ideas will be helpful and will be appreciated.🙏

Gonerstarted grow question 4 years ago
Any reason why my Candy Kush that is 17 days behind the one in my journel looks better? Ist plant is on day 48 and the 2nd is on day 65. Only difference is pot size younger one is in a 2 Gal. And the older one in a 5 GAl.

Well this week has been stressful with Leaf damage And not knowing what to do. Got advice to add Cal-mag and it looks like it's helping. The leaves are getting back to normal THANK the WEED gods. Oh and all who stepped up to help with their knowledge. I have my drying room all set it's at 72degrees and maintaining 55% humidity and in the dark. Glad I have a use for the space under my stairs now. Continuing my water and nutes schedule. The plants are not producing big buds on the candy kush Like in others pics. While the GG#4 is starting to put on some size. Not great big but for my first grow I'm feeling ok about them. While the Other CandyKush not a part of this journal and which is 17 days behind the other. It is looking allot better In my opinion but what do I know. Now the wait to harvest hoping nothing else goes wrong.

week 11 done. I think the plants are doing good. But to me the CandyKush looks like it is a couple of weeks behind the GG#4. Not seeing the leaf problem as bad as before so hoping it stays going good. I didn't think I would be getting this nervous thinking of harvest. But being new I think I'll do something and kill all this work I have done so far. I have a closet set up for hanging the plants and Mason jars and belvida pacs for curing. Keeping tools and area always clean and wiped down with alcohol. So hoping for the best but planning for the worst.

Week 12 and the plants are getting ready for their final goodbyes. Have only been giving PH'd water for a while and in a day or 2 they will go into that 48 hours of darkness. Then hung by their necks until dry. My CandyKush is weird looking to me no tight colas and the GG#4 is doing good for my first try. Thanks to all who commented and helped me out.🙏 Happy growing and may your buds be big and heavy.

Week 13 easy week just leave theGG#4 in the dark. And chop it down and painfully trim it. Hang it for a week at 70 degrees and 55 to 60 humidity. The CandyKush is chopped and getting trimmed and hung on day 91. Pre trimmed a tiny branch and tried it WOW it was good and not harsh for not being cured. I will try using the trimmings for a tincture and using everclear 190 proof. Now keeping track of temp and humidity during drying and also during curing too. I did use the pollen I got from my colloidal experiment for pollen. Brushed it on this branch only and to me it looks like I got some seeds. Do I check now or after done drying and before going into their jars? Any advice would be welcomed.

Growers Choice seeds have been Awesome for me on my first grow. And maybe they could've been bigger but that's on me not the plant. I'm learning and with help from others I will only be getting better and so will my plants. So HAPPY GROWING and onto my next adventure coming soon.😛😎 Made a tincture using 28 grams of small buds and everclear 190 proof. Did the QWET frozen method for a 20 minute soak while shaking. Now waiting for half to evaporate down then add some flavoring and try getting doses down.

this is 2nd growers choice candy kush. The 2 plants are very different from each other. 1had dense heavy buds and the other was lighter and with more hairs around the buds. Both grew well and can't wait to sample second plant, 1st plant is strong got me really high and helped a little with my pain or was I just that stoned? Still have a couple more seeds will try again maybe for some pollen? Over all very happy with their seeds if there is a negative it is ME the newb grower. On to the next grow happy growing to all.

Nice. Your CK is a few weeks ahead of mine. Got mine in coco too. We’ll have to compare and reflect after a we get a taste. 🤤

Gonercommented4 years ago
@HowdyThugger, I can't wait till then. Just don't want to mess up now. I have another CandyKush on day 53 today not part of this journal though. It looks way different from the older one. But have been told it is ok for it to do that. Yours are looking great and I hope you have MASSIVE buds and they taste AWESOME.

Pure tucking no defoliation... Tried to do the same on mine but couldn't get RH right... Was to high w too much foliage. How you managing RH w your bushes?
Goner
Gonercommented4 years ago
@Vincent_Van_Grogh, Is RH humidity? If so then the tent stays between 45% and 50% humidity with alot of trial and error on intake and exhaust. It does drop when I open it for water and maintenance. I am new and hope that answered it ok.

@Bostongirlgrows, Thank you so much. I will be waiting for at least 3 weeks curing to sample. I don't smoke much because of bad COPD. So might give edibles or tinctures a try. My wife smokes and she got wasted off trial of first Candy Kush. Here is hoping for your best grow and life 😀
