Roxy - First Time Grow

Bemyminion 4/9/2021 Broke soil Brrrr! It's cold down here! Maybe that's why she kept her hat on. Performed helmet removal Day 3. Using hand warmer under pot for warmth. Reduced tent space by adding large box - warmed up 3-4°. Added friends (bell flowers, spearmint and lavender). Light 25% Intensity

Bemyminion Added comforter to encase tent and surrounded it on three sides with various storage items to increase warmth. Growth seems lacking. Spray to water. No nutes.

Bemyminion Oof. Who underwaters their plant! This guy! I was scared to overwater. Transplanted to black plastic container to help warm things up. She might not make it. :( Oh wait! What is this perkiness?! Yayyyyyyyy Light 40% Intensity.

Bemyminion Well, watering back on track. New growth. Random week of warm weather, she liked it.

Bemyminion Drooping at beginning of week Transplant using FF/Perlite (no plain soil) Leaves darkening, waxy and curling Topped.

Bemyminion Looking great, slow new growth. No nutes. Removed severely damaged leaves.

Bemyminion Slow and steady wins the race. Happy with progress. Light 60% Intensity.

Bemyminion Trimmed a few leaves off, showed no signs of stress. Growing strong. Stem thickening. Topped again.

Bemyminion Started administering 1/4 strength nutes again. Looks perfect. Started LST.

Bemyminion Perfection. Topped two more branches. Started increasing light Intensity. Transplanted to new 5 gal pot to increase soil depth - used FFOF. Last friend moved out.

Bemyminion Perfect.

Bemyminion 6/30/2021 24hrs Darkness 7/1/2021 12/12 Added Worm Castings on top of soil on Day 1. Started to stretch. Tried not to disturb too much.

Bemyminion Started with Flower nutes. A lot of stretch this week. First taste of molasses. Light 90% Intensity. Will it ever stop raining? Humidity struggling.

Bemyminion Just keep swimming. Light 100% Feed FF, water, Feed molasses. Still raining, started getting cool. Rapid growth seems to have slowed. Starting to smell sweet.

Bemyminion Started experiencing what I think is lockout and/or Phosphorus deficiency. Grow friend said molasses can do that to some plants. Lost about 10 older/bottom leaves (didn't fall off but were easily plucked with very little effort). Boo. Didn't do full flush, but twice as much water as usual followed by another straight distilled regular amount watering two days later. Hopefully she holds on a couple more weeks! Smells delicious and everything is so sticky! <3

Bemyminion Pistils starting to redden. Top leaves seem to be praying more and maybe bleaching slightly. Considering dropping intensity a little bit since I am out of height to back off. Growth feels slower this week, lost about 10 more leaves. Tested with aquarium strips and all I can tell is that PH isn't high. Assuming it is a little low, added 1tsp of baking soda to first dose of nutes in a week to see if that helps if there is lockout/deficiency. Was going to order digital PH tester (I know, I know, just assumed I would be okay in FF soil/1/4 strength FF nutes and distilled water) but it won't arrive until August 11th and new grow shop in my rural community hasn't opened yet. I feel like it is too late to bother at this point if it's going to take that long to arrive, rookie mistake for making assumptions earlier :(. Hopefully she will be able to finish up still having more than 80% healthy leaves, buds still look beautiful and unscathed. Is this what heaven smells like?

Bemyminion Oof, man, problems. Buds still look and smell great but my leaves are really struggling. Lost about 10 leaves this week from the bottom. Top leaves, I thought were looking light burned. Confused because I was told this isn't possible with an LED (especially over a foot away). My gut says light burn but everything else says lockout and nute burn. My plant is more likely to be underfed than overfed. Last day of Week 6, I think I just need to ride the wave instead of trying to fix anything. Buds still gaining weight.

Bemyminion Welp, that's a wrap! She's getting the chop tomorrow! It's been fun. We will see tomorrow but I think I produced about half of what I was expecting. Just grateful I got my first grow to the finish line. Time for the real work. Sticky icky nom nom. Woot!!

Bemyminion This strain was fantastic to work with, so forgiving. Smells like heaven. Decent buzz. I am satisfied with the results of my first grow (of any plant actually). I wish I could have had more weight in the end but under water, wind burn and cold in the beginning and underfeeding throughout - I am just happy she made it to the end. This app was great! Will be even more helpful for the next grow. Thank you for all the support every one! Next one will be 3-4oz! Especially now that a grow shop opened up in my small town.
