Grow 1.5

Whelp Gelat.OG didn’t make it once again. Too many problems trying to grow that one over and over. Blue Dream and White widow are small but I have faith. Blueberry is growing rapidly so I’ll be transplanting her at the end of the week and begin feeding.

Forgot to update but babies are transplanted. Lots of rain coming up for the next week so will probably cover some during the day to prevent overwatering

Everyone’s looking healthy so far. Been a lot of rain so I haven’t watered but I want to give them some Big Grow nutes one of these days. Had to cover at night with a small tent to shield from the constant down pour. So far looking better than my first grow so can’t complain there.

Topped Blueberry last week and topped White Widow a few days ago. So far it’s been a positive reaction. Started some LST on Blueberry and waiting until next week to start it on White Widow. Blue Dream is growing just fine, not as big as the others yet but steadily. Just happy these babies are growing better than my first batch.

Another week of good growth and nutrients. Blueberry: Same LST and rotated 180degrees. Definitely the bushiest and standing at 17”. White widow: started lst on it today. Definitely growing taller at a faster rate and is now at 18”. Blueberry: growing steadily still at 13” but not and tall or bushy as the other 2. Just topped today as well.

Went out of town for a few days so I expected plants to look thirsty. Yellowing on the blueberry and white widow started from the nutrients so I’ll dial back the dosage amount next feeding. The Blue Dream doesn’t seem to mind at all and from where it started it is now about the same size if not bigger than the Blueberry which makes me excited. Got some ant hill that formed so have to spray some safe bug spray and neem oil around to make sure they stay away

Another week of good growth. All have grown at least 7in more. Really proud of how Blue Dream has caught the other 2 and is one of the biggest. Had a slight tear while doing some LST on the White Widow top branch so had some tape as well was plant wire to hold it up. So far about 3 days since it happened and it doesn’t seem effected so hopefully it heals fine.

Plants have grown 5-7inches in the last week with on and off rain so I haven’t done much to them. Rotated all the plants for the last time and gave them more space between each other. Increased the Big Bloom nutrients because I keep having yellow leaves at the bottom that I remove so hopefully this fixes the problem. Haven’t decided if I will top the plants again or not as I know the weather will slowly start to change in the next 2 weeks.

What a week! Plants have grown another 7in in the last week so I’m expecting to at least have some 4ft close to 5ft trees before harvest time. Adding the Cal-mag as well as upping the dosage on nutrients with nitrogen has improved the leaves coloring so much. Leaves have started showing signs of flowering with their pistils but won’t switch over to flowering until maybe a week into August or so.

Watering pretty much everyday with nutrients every other water. Growing faster than ever as well with 2 of them right about 4ft tall. Will give another week of veg before I switch them over to flowering and change up the nutrients. Happy I made it this far now comes the fun part of watching them bloom.

Another week another few inches of height on these guys. I only topped once and did slight LST on them this whole time because I didn’t want to mess anything up. I know now that next time I grow I definitely will be topping at least 2-3 times and doing some serious bending to help them grow wide instead of straight up. This upcoming week is a lot more cooler with some rain so that’ll save me some watering thankfully. White Widow is taking the charge showing the most flower production of the rest so far.

Week 2 and everyone is looking good. Removed as much of the lower smaller buds that I thought was needed. Back to hot days so I’m giving each about 2gallons of water and even then it seems they need that everyday. White widow is definitely growing buds and frosting up faster than the others and it looks wonderful. Will be out of town later this week but have a friend who can hopefully keep them healthy until I return.

So the friend didn’t to a “great” job of watching them. Was able to water and feed for a few days while I was away but one of the days he forgot to PH the water and as you can tell they didn’t like that at all. Took as many unhealthy yellow leaves away as I could. It’s been heavy rain and wind as well so I sometimes move them under a tent to prevent them from getting too soaked. My nutrient feeds haven’t been the best but this week when I get a chance I’ll be back to feeding more worm casting, 5mL/gal of FF Grow Big, 10mL of FF Tiger Bloom, and 5mL/of cal mag as I’m sure the rain will have washed away all the nutrients They had left. Also spotted some brown pistils but I’m sure that’s from the heat whenever it’s not raining as it does get around 88-95 degrees around here still

Whew what a week. I think I’ve finally got a good schedule down hopefully. It’s been super hot always in the 90’s so I now water each of them with 3 gallons of water from 2 everyday before. I’m sure as long as it stays this hot I’ll still be giving them water everyday. The nutrients I’m probably going to give twice a week if not 3 times depending on how they like it. Still have some heavy rain days every now and then so I place them under a tent whenever that happens because I small very tiny browning on the buds of one plant and definitely want to avoid any type of rotting at this point. Had a lot of yellowing on the blue Dream and some on the white Widow and not much on the blueberry, so hopefully this nutrient schedule will help out. I’m tired of picking leaves

Another hot week with more to come but 1 day of rain coming so plants will be under a tent that day. A lot of nutrients have really helped them from that yellowing as well as increase their bud size. Before only the white widow showed really big colas but now the other 2 have caught up and looking great and smelling nice. Don’t have much nutrients left in stock so this week or next will probably be their last feeding. It actually works out fine because with the bud size increased and trichomes popping everywhere, I’m just ready for more amber pistils and preparing for harvest. White widow might be first to harvest as it has the biggest buds, more mature pistils and even the leaves are turning to a brighter green. Blue Dream has the strongest smell and buds are a good size. Leaves still the same color but healthy. Blueberry has always been the bushy one but everything looks great. I may do some defoliation this week on it just to let more sun in for the final weeks.

Happy Labor Day to those in the US, sorry for the night pics (even tho I think they turned out well enough). Fall is right around the corner. At least for my location the day time temps are in the low 90s/ high 80’s but the mornings are in the 50’s and 60’s. Plants had some trouble with low cal-mag spots so I started feeding more which we stopped for now. Not yellowing overall for leaves on these guys either. Blue Dream is budding up bigger and bigger and smelling ripe White Widow has by far the biggest colas and even some of the leaves are getting a hint of purple on them Blueberry is the bushiest plant and by far has the most trichomes and best smell to me that I can’t get enough of. Blueberry and Blue Dream still have 90% white pistils and white widow is about 70% white pistils. This will be their last week of nutrients from me however and then the rest will be nothing but ph water until they’re ready to chop down. I hope to finally be ready for harvest in the next 3 weeks so I can begin drying before the other 4 plants who are about 2-3 weeks behind are ready.

Well last week they got their last bit of nutrient feed as I ran out right on time. we finish with 7 weeks of flowering so these last few weeks will be just watering. Blue Dream caught one of the top colas showing some bud rot. Think I was lucky enough to catch it as I check my plants daily and so far I don’t see any spreading. Think it came from 2 days of cloudy rain and even though she was under the tent, she was in the back and no enough air circulation. White Widow still showing some of the biggest and most dense buds that are finally starting to show some color. Blueberry is still my favorite smell and man the trichomes are spreading everywhere on this flower. If the dry and cure goes well, these genetics might be the best. All the plants are finally starting to show some orange pistils as well as a few milky trichomes. I have all my material for harvest so hopefully that can begin in about 2 weeks.

Whelp it’s finally that time. Had the blue Dream and White Widow drying out for 2 days before chopping. Blue Dream today and white widow tomorrow hopefully. Lot of rain in the forecast. Harvesting this one was a long 5hours between chopping down, cutting fans leaves and any leaves that weren’t coated, washing, hanging to dry outside from the water to inside my spare room. Even had my wife help me out so it would have taken twice as long by myself. Definitely was time to chop plus the bud rot was starting to show in different areas so it couldn’t have lasted much longer. Did not weight it wet cause what’s the point lol. For the other plants I plan on having 3-4 people helping with these harvests.

This strain was very good to grow. Although I had a few fights with bud rot it held up just fine. Smell is good, probably not my favorite, but it is delightful. Overall came up with 321g of buds and 73g of trim. Just jared them so they have a while before I can test after the cure. Also still have a bit more dry trim to go but I’ll get there when I get there.

White Widow was a blast. I can tell why it’s a favorite. Didn’t give any trouble and the size of the colas it grew was amazing. Smell overall was great too. Just put them in jars for curing so no sample yet. Still have a lot of dry trimming to go but so far trim weighed 107g and buds 338g. Once I trim the numbers will change but still that’s 445g of flower on a 4ft plant. Depending on the smoke it may make my list to grow next season.

This plant was amazing from beginning to end. Never gave any problems. Definitely a very busy plant as both plants (1 from other diary) grew very similar. The smell is by far one of my favorites of them all. I don’t know if it’s blueberry smell but definitely an intense fruit aroma. Covered in trichomes during its flowering. Right now it’s still in cure so I haven’t tried any but I will update when I do. I did weigh it before putting in jars and got 77g of trim and 381g in buds.
