FFOF/Perlite 80/20 topped with BioBizz Lite
Recharged every other day from Day 1
Misting Distilled 2x daily in Wk 1, 1x daily in Wk 2, and full watering at the beginning of Wk 3 (a little more than 1/3 of a gallon each, every third day - so WxxWxxW)
At the beginning of Week 3 I did the BIG WATER, or thought I did until I researched a little more. Turned out I just watered reasonably a couple times, and let them dry for a couple days before the actual BIG WATER.
LST in the pic was day 16, with a first decent water the day before and another the day after (not just misting). The big water (just over a 1/3 a gallon each) was on Day 20 (Friday July 30). Recharge Monday (3oz per) then the first feed (48oz total for feed/water)
Recharge 2x a week - 1 tsp per gallon (3oz per plant each time in Weeks 1 and 2).
Recharge in between (the day before) water/feed. 1tsp per gallon, so total about 3oz per plant 2x a week.
Technically I used, or tried to use Big Bloom, but I didn't shake it up for either of the first two feeds. I'll estimate something got in there, but otherwise they've survived on just FFOF, Recharge, CalMag and distilled water.
Mephisto should call these seeds idiot-proof.
Recharge in between (the day before) water/feed 2x a week - 1tsp per gallon, and total about 3oz per plant.
Big Bloom at 1/4 strength in Week 4 (first feed), then 1/2 strength this week. CalMag at 1/2 strength this week + Tiger Bloom at 1/2 strength
Realized I made a rookie mistake not shaking up Big Bloom the first TWO feedings. So they've only had CalMag and Recharge added up to Day 36 but there's no harm done (that I can see).
Big feeding then with Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom added in the 3rd feed: 3tsp BB, 1/2tsp CalMag, and 3tsp Tiger Bloom per gallon. pH sunk to under 5 in mix with distilled water.
Still feeding/watering each a little over a third of a gallon every third day (fed Sunday, won't water until Wed then feed again Saturday).
Heavy Defoliation on Days 36 and 39. The runt really responded to the last feeding (BB, TB, CM) and caught up. She's looking beautiful now. My wife taunts me that I wondered out loud if I should cut "Lucy" down in week 2. 😂
Adding "Incredible Bulk" to the next feed in a reduced (1/2) dose instead of going with Beastie Bloomz. I'll then go back to normal feedings for weeks 8 and 9 and add the Bulk back in weeks 10 and 11 (12?).
These "plans" are more for my benefit here, and are likely to change. In my next grow (Double Grape) I'll try to add the Bulk 1 week earlier in week 6 then remove it for wks 7--8 just to bring it back for the final 2-3 wks.
Week 7 Day 1 - Done training and defoliating. Fed today. Incredible Bulk introduced, added to the usual FF trio (minus the Grow Big) at 1/2 strength for TB, BB and Bulk, and 1/2 tsp of Bloom City Calmag.
Thought they'd want more water in flowering but even when the soil seems pretty dry they don't really show signs of being thirsty. Wondering if the high humidity has anything to do with it. Swampy weather here for about a month, even with a window ac unit keeping the temps down the rh is at least 65%.
Lots of flowering this week. The middle girl is a little behind, seems she didn't appreciate all that LST and defoliating, but the runt on the right isn't a runt anymore. They're taking everything I give them, so I'll keep giving them Bulk for another couple weeks.
I water/feed every 3 days now (so WxxFxxW) but even after 3 days they never look thirsty
Up the water anyway? Only giving them a little more than 1/3 of a gal each at a time (in flowering). Very humid this month, but expected to W more- Should I try W/F every other day? TY!
As long as your pot has returned to feeling light- then your good. Flowering uses more energy, as the plant try’s to bulk out. That and environmental facts dictate how much water they’ll require 🌱
Issues!! For the first time, I open the tent and leaves are clawing, tips are burnt, THE END IS NIGH!
After freaking out and over-Googling, I rethink how much CalMag I'm using, how much I'm watering and if I should be using distilled water over tap (I shouldn't).
Switched to tap- Not watering enough also contributed.
Watering every other day now, instead of every 3rd day.
Added 1 tsp CalMag to every water/feed but still feeding every third day (so WxWxFxWxWxF so just feeding once a week, and Recharge for 1 W per week).
I'm adding 2 tsp of BULK this week, then 4 tsp in Week 9, and 8 tsp for Week 10.
Some rust spots on Day 50 but by 53 seemed confined to just few older leaves, clawing improved and tips stopped burning after the CalMag change.
Day 52 Needed garden staples and Defol to get some light in, lots of bright green growth now looks happier. Can't wait to see where this goes! Just WOW Mephisto!
Added .5 tsp per gallon of Fish Shit to every water (along with CalMag every water/feed and Recharge once a week)
Doubling the amount of Bulk in Week 9 to 4 tsp/gal.
Some light LST and Defol as we go. WxFxW in flower.
Day 60 - Filling in nicely. Hoping to see more outrageous growth over the next 2 weeks.
Day 64 - Added Bulk (4 tsp/gal 2x in Week 9)
Some clawing after, and the middle girl still looks like she's struggling with a CalMag deficiency- some faint rusting on older leaves but by Day 68 it also looks like fading. On Day 69- PURPLE! The fade is real!
This late in flower I'm not worrying too much and it's mild from what I've researched. Really looking forward to seeing the color changes. Actually it's helping me keep my grubby little hands off it because it is begging to be CHOPPED looking like that. 😈😇
Decided to feed 1 more time, after seeing the "runt" pack on some serious bulk this week. Trichs are cloudy and about 5-10% amber on Day 71 but on 73 Lefty is 1/2 amber all over. Chopping her early- prob Day 76 (FRIDAY!) for Lefty but I'll wait until Day 80 minimum for the other two.
What a great experience, and NO WAY could I have pulled it off without this site (and reddit and youtube to a lesser degree). Thanks folks for all the guidance and careful documentation with your old grows! Awesome community! Hopefully my exp can help someone in some way down the line.
👊😤
Just giving ph'd water. Actually would've chopped on day 82 but I want to see more amber, and a friend keeps texting "WAIT! # of days don't matter! NOT YET!"
Every other day water, but zero feedings for about 10 days.
So bushy, and leafy I think it's a bit of a challenge for a 1st time grower tbh. Super impressive genetics though and the gassiest thing I've ever smelled that wasn't gas.
Just about "idiot-proof" and super-potent but again, maybe a better fit for your 2nd or 3rd grow instead of the very first. Still- hard to be upset with such sticky, stanky, dark dense buds!
Def has that big head hit effect right away and just makes you kinda wince through the exhale.
EDIT: Had to return to revise my review. A great first run, but after learning and growing a lot over 2 years I can't say that I knew wtf I was doing at all at the time and temp changes were likely too extreme, humidity too high, etc. The weed was good not great. All my grows, and I think this is only human, look better than they turned out for the first year of growing. Not until my first photo run did I start to figure it out. Everyone says "start with autos" but instead I think I should've started with the basics, with photos, learned to train, how long to veg, which medium, etc. The other side of that argument is that you make your mistakes faster, more often with autos if you're willing to learn from those mistakes. I didn't grow autos again for 2 years, but now that I'm confident and know wtf I'm doing, let's see what these autos can really do.
Chopped the 1st on Day 76. 30.8g and after a couple days of curing potency kicked in. Amazing experience. Thanks to everyone on this site and all the growers who keep such great details. I couldn't have done it without you.
Broke down plant #1 and hung indoors in pieces for 5 days to dry, then into Grove Bags with boveda packs (just in case) and wee hydrometers taped to the window. Super happy with the bags last time. I suggest getting pretty large Grove Bags if you do use them- the smaller bags can squish your bigger buds and the QP bags are roomy, and seem to have special ziplocks that the smaller bags don't and are obviously higher quality.
Chopped the 2nd on Day 90 and the 3rd on Day 91. The weather turned, the humidity finally tanked here in the Southeast US, so I did a little wet trim but mostly just hung them whole for 5 and 6 days (5 was better). All bagged and tagged.
The last 2 CDLC were night and day. One looked bushy but turned out to be about 1/2 oz of larf and 1/2 oz of solid bud. The other started as a runt and ended up the biggest yield-er: 40g after dry and trim. Awesome experience! I want to get 1 more grow in before rethinking my soil and nutes. Next up - Gorilla Cookies, Blue Dream and Gorilla Glue under 2 of these PB2000 Pros.
Happy harvesting homies! Thanks for keeping detailed diaries here. Would NOT have been possible (at least success would not have been possible) without that information.
I'm smoking on the shoulders of giants!
Happy growing! I hope you get some good results! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Peace & Love - L.S.T 🙏🏼🌟
