Grow diary 11.
This grow I'm running 4 diaries, one for each strain in the tent. So my plan is instead of a week being 7 days, my weeks are most likely going to be every 10 days. I think I'm going to take pictures every 5 days so there is a mid week and end week shot.
I'm germinating in my propagation tent which is secret jardin dp60. I soaked the seeds in water for 15 hours. The seeds sank so i took that as a good sign. After the seed had soaked for 15 hours I then soaked the rockwool cube for 30 mins in PH 5.8 water with 0.5ml/L hydroguard. Gave the cube a shake and let it drain for 30 mins before placing the seed pointy side down so the top of the seed is level with the cube. Covered seed with a loose bit of rockwool. Placed into propagator with the sunblaster t5 lights on constant. After 71 hours the seed popped

Grow diary 11 Stage 1
Days 1-10
By day 4 all was looking good, she had a root coming out the bottom of the cube.
Day 6 I transplanted her to the 3 inch rockwool cubes that had been soaked for 15 mins in this stage nutrient solution and left to drain for 15 mins, then she went into the bigger propagator.
Day 10 she no roots coming out the bottom of the 3 inch cube yet.
Over the last few days she has been getting more exposure to the fan, with the lid of the propagator the humidity is on the low side, but i want to get some air movement around her.
She has grown o.k over the last 10 days. She looks healthy enough and is where I would expect her to be in growth. She is the ugly duckling of the grow so far, I always find when I grow gorilla glue or anything crossed with a gorilla glue I get funky 1st and usually 2nd sets of leaves.

Grow diary 11 Stage 2
Days 11-20
The light schedule was altered to 19/5 on day 11 and the 6 inch distance was maintained until she went into the main tent. Lights on 7pm off 2pm
Day 12 was the 1st time she was watered/fed since day 6 when it was soaked for transplant. After day 12 she was fed 300ml every day and the run off checked to make sure everything was in range.
Day 18 she was topped after the 2nd set of nodes. She wasn't quite ready yesterday when i did the other 3 strains, and i forgot to take picture's. I'm thinking of removing the lowest set of nodes in a few days and doing a small mainlining project, She was moved into my new main tent (gorilla shorty gt225). The light is my mars hydro TS1000 set at 50% power 20 inch above the canopy. The wilma system is just hydroton/clay balls, and the feeds are on at 8pm for 15mins and on at 12.30pm for 15mins.
Day 20 she seems to be adjusting to the topping and the transplant.
I'm happy with how the last 9/10 days have gone, its still been mega hot and i have managed to battle the heat quite well so the plants haven't suffered.
At the moment all 4 strains are at about the same point in growth.

Grow diary 11 Stage 3
Days 21-30
Day 22 removed lowest nodes. I'm also thinking i may be overwatering.
Day 24 eventually found my humidifier.
Day 26 topped both colas.
Day 30 training.
The last 9 days have been fairly bad, around day 22 I thought the grow looked a little overwatered. This time I am using a home made ring to flood the pots, i didn't take into account that this ring lets out about 10 times the amount of water then the blue drippers. I cut the watering down and the she started to recover. She isn't the worst looking one out the 4 strains maybe the best looking one out of the 4, she is small but the overwatering hasn't effected her as much as the others.

Grow diary 11 Stage 4
Days 31-40
Day 31 Turned power up to 85% on the mars hydro ts1000. Mines one of the old ones you need to stick a screw driver in to alter it.
Day 36 Removed the single finger fan leaves and the 1st 3 fingered leaves.
Day 39 Removed the 4 fan leaves from where she was topped last week.
The start of this stage we hit a heat wave, day after day of heat. I had my humidifier on most of the 9 days. The tent didn't hit the temps I thought it would so that means I have my loft under a bit better control. The plant really kicked into gear this week, around day 34 she started to explode in growth. So far I have only done some lite defoliation by removing some of the 1st leaves that weren't getting any light anymore. The wedding glue went into pre flower before the rest of the grow, she looks like she might have slightly to much nitrogen or that could just be the colours she is going to show. She 3rd nicest at the moment.

Grow diary 11 stage 5
Days 41-50
During the week she had some training and I removed the damaged leaves. The whole grow has suffered from me not getting the watering schedule sorted.
This one is probably stunted, she is the farthest along in the grow and the shortest. She has been in flower for over 10 days now.
Grow diary 11 stage 6
Day 51-60
This last 9 days she has continued to bulk up more. This is probably the shortest plant I have ever grown and that's possibly down to the topping or over watering earlier on in the grow. Unfortunately due to the west coast o.g stretching so much I have had to lift the light and she isn't getting as much as the others in the tent. She is the farthest along out of the 4 strains and is definitely going to finish before the others.
Grow diary 11 stage 7
Day 61-70
This is such a short stocky plant. She has really bulked up while I have been away. She is full of trichomes and is the farthest along. In the next 10 to 20 days I'll have to remove her from the tent to get her of the automatic feeding and I can start flushing her. I know the yield is going be small on this one but the quality looks like its there.
Grow diary 11 stage 8.
Day 71 to 80
This girl has developed quicker then the other strains and because of the o.g taking up so much space I decided to put up my older ds60 tent with my old mars hydro purple light. After 3 days my old extractor fan broke and she stunk the house out. I pulled her out the other tent on day 75 and gave her ripen for 5 days before moving onto flawless finish. When I'm happy she flushed its harvest. Not expecting much, maybe 1/2 oz, its hard to guess, she is tiny but solid.
Grow diary 11 stage 9
She was flushed for 5 days then harvested on day 83.
She looked lonely in the other tent on her own. Will give an update when dried and cured.
The wedding glue went from seed to harvest in 83 days. Probably the quickest auto I have done. The plant didn't take to the multiple topping as well as I wanted so she ended up a bit stunted. But she packed on some nice tight nugs. The terp profile is top notch. The harvest of 19g is a bit on the small side, but it's all quality stuff. I would definitely grow this again. If I could guarantee I could do them small like this one I could cram loads in my tent
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
