Learning to grow, sidepart 2

Durban Sunrise into soil. She started sprouting on 10/28 but let her get a little further along and planted her this morning into the red solo cup. 10/31 - She broke soil. Nothing else really to report here. 11/2 - Watered an ounce or so. I've been using a combination of the cup weight and the little bit of soil at the bottom of the outer cup (what little there actually is from dumping soil into the inner cup) to determine when she needs watered. I gave it an extra day this time around, for a total of three days spacing between watering. I was doing every two before. So far, so good I think. Think that extra day probably helped as the soil at the bottom of the inner cup was still a little damp in previous attempts. It was still damp this time but much less so. 11/3 - Not much to report here. 11/4 - Day 5 - Still looking good. Nothing to report. If she keeps going, once she gets a good set of leaves, I'll transplant her into the larger 3G pot. Expecting that sometime between days 10-15 11/5 - Day 6 - The bottom soil in the cup taco is still damp, so I am going to hold off watering her another day. Otherwise, she is looking pretty good. 11/6 - Day 7 - Just added an ounce of water or so to the solo cup and the bottom soil was looking dry. So far, so good. She's green.

11/7 - Day 8 - Nothing new to report. She is moving along nicely. 11/8 - Day 9 - Still looking fine. Because I have a more mature plant in the same tent who is about 20 days further along, I switched the light in the tent from the Veg only light to the Veg and Bloom light per the light documentation suggestions. This girl is well off to the side and is not directly under the light, so I think we should be safe there. Will have to keep an eye on things with this change. 11/9 - Day 10 - Not much to report here. Looking good. Probably getting close to transferring her over to the big pot. 11/10 - Day 11 - Added an ounce of water to the solo cup. She was mostly dry. She looks to be getting some decent roots. Probably another two/three days before I transfer her to the big pot. 11/11 - Day 12 - Nothing to report. Still growing. 11/12 - Day 13 - Chugging along swimmingly. I will probably look into transplanting her tomorrow into the larger 3G fabric pot. She should hopefully be a bit dried out by then and ready to be watered. 11/13 - Day 14 - She was dry in the cup and looking ready to move over to the big 3G pot. Did that and sent a full 64 ounces of water into the pot to try and get a good saturation of the soil. This seemed to work when I did the other transplanting, so will continue.

11/14 - Day 15 - Seems she took to the transplant nicely so far. Nothing really to report her. 11/15 - Day 16 - Nothing to report. 11/16 - Day 17 - Nothing to report here. She is a little small, I feel. But otherwise looks healthy. 11/17 - Day 18 - Nothing to report. She is moving along nicely. Soil and pot as still heavy with the big water after the transplant. Based on previous experience, I am expecting her to start drying out here in a few more days and then will begin a normal watering cycle. 11/18 - Day 19 - Still nothing to report. She's growing. 11/19 - Day 20 - Not much to report here. Her soil is still damp about an half a finger down and the pot still feels a little heavy. I'll give this another day and see how she goes and potentially dump 32 ounces into her in the next day or two. 11/20 - Day 21 - She was dry again, which is good. I am watering her with 32 ounces of plain water today. Nothing else to report as of yet.

11/21 - Day 22 - She's coming along nicely. Nothing unusual to report. Growing like the weed she is! 11/22 - Day 23 - Again, coming along nicely. Nothing to report at this point. 11/23 - Day 24 - She is looking good, mostly. Noticed some burnt tips on one of the leaves and thinking that might be because she is still small. Going to just keep an eye on that. She is still pretty hefty with water, so will hold off for another day or two before watering. 11/24 - Day 25 - The pot is still decently heavy, so am going to hold off watering for one more day, I think. She is still small and don't want to drown her out. Down about two inches, I can still feel moisture in the soil. She is still moving along. It looks like perhaps there's a little nute burn on one of her leaves but it doesn't appear to be spreading. Keeping an eye on things but she appears to be coming along nicely. I find it interesting that two of her leaves grew without tips, the two leaves on the north and south of her in the pictures. 11/25 - Day 26 - Weight of the pot is getting lighter but still damp about two inches down. Going to let it dry out a bit more before watering again. She doesn't seem to mind at this point and is growing pretty dramatically. Maybe tomorrow I will water again with 32 ounces depending on how things look. She is looking mighty nice. The little bit of burn on a few tips of the one leaf is isolated to that one leaf so far. I think she might have just hit a dry patch or something in the soil and soaked up too much. It hasn't spread to other leaves and it is just on one of her early leaves. 11/26 - Day 27 - Pot is still pretty heavy and she is still growing like a weed. Going to let it go another day before watering. She is still quite damp after an inch or two down. 11/27 - Day 28 - She is coming along nicely still. She was relatively dry again. The pot was still a little heavier than expected but the top two/three inches of soil were very dry, so I watered her 32 ounces today.

11/28 - Day 29 - Coming along nicely still. Nothing to really note yet. 11/29 - Day 30 - Still coming along nicely. She will probably be ready for 32 ounces of water tomorrow if things keep going like they are. Her top half inch or so of soil is dry but them damp further down. Maybe go into day 4 if it is still damp. 11/30 - Day 31 - She was mostly dry, so watered her with 32 ounces today. Nothing else really to report here. She seems to be doing well and looks just fine. Maybe a little stretchy compared to my other grow but it is different genetics. 12/1 - Day 32 - Not much to report here. She is doing pretty well as a whole. I started LST today as well as she is starting to get pretty big. Going to try the same approach this time with regard to keeping her spiraling around the edge of the pot. 12/2 - Day 33 - Again, not much to report here. Adjusted her LST a bit to angle her around. She seems to be doing well. 12/3 - Day 34 - Her pot is still a little heavy, so I am going to wait another day before watering again. Poking a finger in to my first knuckle and it's a little damp. So that's fine. She still seems happy and growing amazingly well! 12/4 - Day 35 - She seemed mostly drier at this point. So I gave her 32 ounces of water today. I didn't need to adjust her LST just yet but will probably need to do that tomorrow. Still looking good.

12/5 - Day 36 - Adjusted her LST a bit today. Otherwise looking happy. Nothing else to report here. 12/6 - Day 37 - Adjusted her LST a bit again today. Still looking happy! 12/7 - Day 38 - Not much to report here. Looks fine. 12/8 - Day 39 - She was thirsty so I provided her with 32 ounces of pure water. Still looking good. I didn't need to adjust the primary LST yet. It seems like she has started focusing on other parts rather than her main stem. 12/9 - Day 40 - Looking good again today. Adjusted the LST a bit. I feel like she might be a bit small. But I don't rightly know. Will see how things go over the next few weeks. 12/10 - Day 41 - Nothing really to report. Still looking fine. 12/11 - Day 42 - She was dry, so I gave her another 32 ounces of water. She appears to be doing fine. Really nothing to report.

12/12 - Day 43 - She seems to be doing fine. I noticed what I think is a calcium deficiency on a few leaves, which is good to know. Because now I know I need to start adding calmag to the water after around week 4. Both of my plants have had similar issues around the same time. Learning is fun! Adjusted the LST a bit today. 12/13 - Day 44 - Nothing much to report here beyond what I have already noted. Will be providing 32 ounces of water tomorrow based on how things feel today. 12/14 - Day 45 - Nothing much to report here. Gave her 32 ounces of pure water today. 12/15 - day 46 - Still not much to report. Though it seems like she might be starting to pre-flower? Maybe. It's weird. She's not far enough along to start flowering, I don't think. But she definitely has a flower starting on her main stem. Will see. Next watering will be water with calmag. 12/16 - Day 47 - Again, not much to report. She is coming along nicely. Have not had to adjust her LST much the past few days just because there's not a ton of branches to deal with yet. Looking good though. 12/17 - Day 48 - She was thirsty today. Because I noticed some of the brown spots showing up again on her leaves, I gave her 32 ounces of water with calmag. Had the same issue in this soil with my other grow. So will see how things go from here on out. 12/18 - Day 49 - Looks like I have a nitrogen deficiency that I will need to figure out how to address. What's odd is that she looks like she is starting to flower. She did spend a LOT of time in veg. Not sure what I want to do just yet and will decide a bit more later today.

12/19 - Day 50 - She is definitely flowering at this point based on how she looks. I am going to be giving her 32 more ounces of water with flower nutes. 15 ml of FF Big Bloom, 10 ml of FF Tiger Bloom and 5 ml of Calmag tomorrow. 12/20 - Day 51 - Gave her 64 ounces of flower nutes since she is definitely flowering at this point. Sadly, she is very stunted. I've seen this from the start and believe it is because I waited a little too long to transfer her into the big pot from the red solo. Oh well. We'll keep her going and see how she does. 12/21 - Day 52 - Not much to report. She is coming along. 12/22 - Day 53 - Again, not much to report here. Small. Sadly. But she'll make it, I think. And she will produce something. 12/23 - Day 54 - Watered her again with 64 ounces of pure water to flush some of the nutes out. I noticed a few leaves have some nute burn. Otherwise, looking okay. 12/24 - Day 55 - Not much more to report here. 12/25 - Day 56 - No pics today. Busy with the holidays.

12/26 - Day 57 - Watered her with 64 ounces of nutes. I dropped the calmag out of the nute solution since she really isn't growing that much more from an overall plant material perspective. She is mostly into flowering at this point. 12/27 - Day 58 - Not much to report. She is coming along. 12/28 - Day 59 - Still not much to report. Depending on how things go, I may water her tomorrow or the next day. Depends on how she feels tomorrow morning. Removed some dead leaves where I could. Not much there. Also tucked that large yellowed leaf down to let more light in. 12/29 - Day 60 - Not much to report here still. She is coming along as you can see. Not going to water her today because she still feels damp and heavy. Most likely tomorrow. 12/30 - Day 61 - She was thirty, so gave her 64 ounces of pure water. Otherwise, not much to report. Her buds are starting to get frosty! 12/31 - Day 62 - Not much to report. 1/1 - Day 63 - Not much to report here. She is coming along.

1/2 - day 64 - She was thirsty. Gave her 64 ounces of flower nutes. 1/3 - day 65 - Not much to report still. She is coming along. Buds are slowly filling out. Have a feeling I will need to harvest early on her if all of her leaves die off. But that's fine. I plan to grow this strain again during my next grow. 1/4 - Day 66 - Again, not much to report. She's small. She's flowering. Just feeding and watering until harvest time. 1/5 - Day 67 - Fed her with 64 ounces of pure water today. Still coming along. 1/6 - Day 68 - Still coming along. Removed a few dead leaves. 1/7 - Day 69 - Not much to report here. She is filling out. 1/8 - Day 70 - Watered her with 64 ounces of flower nutes. Not much else to report.

1/9 - Day 71 - Not much to report today. 1/10 - Day 72 - Not much to report here. Her buds are filling out nicely. She seems to be doing okay. 1/11 - Day 73 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water. 1/12 - Day 74 - Nothing to report. 1/13 - Day 75 - Nothing to report. 1/14 - Day 76 - Watered with 64 ounces of flower nutes. 1/15 - Day 77 - Nothing to report.

1/16 - Day 78 - Nothing to report. 1/17 - Day 79 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water. Nothing else to report. 1/18 - Day 80 - Nothing to report. 1/19 - Day 81 - Nothing to report. 1/20 - Day 82 - Watered with 64 ounces of flower nutes. Less than 1% of her total trichomes have started to turn amber. Keeping on eye on those as we progress. Thinking she is maybe two or three weeks out from harvest at this point. 1/21 - Day 83 - Nothing to report. 1/22 - Day 84 - Nothing to report.

1/23 - Day 85 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water. Not much to report. Her trichomes are still mostly clear from what I can tell. 1/24 - Day 86 - Nothing to report. Most trichomes are still clear with <5% cloudy or amber. 1/25 - Day 87 - Nothing to report here. 1/26 - Day 88 - Watered with 64 ounces of flower nutes. Not much else to report. She is probably moving towards 10% amber trichomes. Going to give her a few more weeks, I think before harvesting. 1/27 - Day 89 - Nothing to report. 1/28 - Day 90 - Nothing to report. 1/29 - Day 91 - Watered with 64 ounces of water. Nothing else to report.

1/30 - Day 92 - Nothing to report. 1/31 - Day 93 - Nothing to report. Removed some dead foliage. 2/1 - Day 94 - Watered with 64 ounces of flower nutes. Nothing else to report here. Trichomes are progressing. Think I am going to give her another two or three weeks to see what she does. I also am planning to try and 48 hour darkness before harvest to see what happens. 2/2 - Day 95 - Nothing to report. She is still progressing. 2/3 - Day 96 - Nothing to report. 2/4 - Day 97 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water. 2/5 - Day 98 - I was lazy today and missed getting a picture. Nothing to report though!

2/6 - Day 99 - Nothing to report. Most of her trichomes are turning cloudy at this point by the looks of it. A small percentage are still amber. Thinking I will do another round of nutes and then start going pure water. Haven't decided yet. 2/7 - Day 100 - Watered with 64 ounces of flower nutes. Not much else to report. Probably another two weeks out from harvest. 2/8- Day 101 - Nothing to report. 2/9 - Day 102 - Nothing to report. 2/10 - Day 103 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water. Not much else to report. 2/11 - Day 104 - Nothing to report. 2/12 - Day 105 - Nothing to report.

Going pure water at this point and will plan to do a harvest in two weeks, I think. Probably March 12 2/25 - Day 118 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water again. 2/26 - Day 119 - Nothing to report.

2/27 - Day 120 - Nothing to report. Stopping nutes and going straight water from now until harvest on March 12. 2/28 - Day 121 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water. Mostly cloudy trichomes at this point. Some turning amber. Planning March 12 harvest and going only water until that time. 3/1 - Day 122 - Nothing to report. 3/2 - Day 123 - Nothing to report. 3/3 - Watered with 64 ounces of pure water. AT this point, i plan to harvest this weekend. March 6th. Last water at this point. I don't feel like she is progressing much more at this point and she will be dry again on the 6th.

Harvested on 3/5. Did not weigh her harvested weight unfortunately. Also tried a 48 hour darkness before the harvest.
