My First Grow Lindsay OG

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

825 watts All healthy . Not much going on .

They grow fast at this Age . Transferred them to 3gal pots this week I miss how the grow room used to be so clean lol before the huge hose was installed :p

First photo is the plant before LST and defoliation Did some light defoliation so air can get through easily. I took out the little new buds , The little balls in the middle of the forming cola to force the plant to make buds on other stems

week 5 I didn't get great photos or info the other weeks of my clones. 155 plants so far haven't found a steady feeding schedule, I will be experimenting until he next weeks to come. During this week the plant grows steadily, forcing me to remove the old LST wires and position them in a more comfortable spot for the plant to continue growing.

Out of the 155 plants one room is starting to get a whole bunch of yellow leaves. And yellow plants. It started after I used the fish emulsion. :S The other two rooms are looking very green and bushy. Continuing LST on most of the plants. The leaves grow in every week or so.

Nothing much going on here. No LST. Didn’t really takeoff many new leaves. I didn’t check up on the plants for a whole 24 hours. I didn’t notice when I last watered that I had missed a plant as you see in the first video. It went back up in about 6 hours like nothing ever happened to her. When growing many plants it’s very easy to forget to water one or two. That’s why it’s important to water all single file from row to row , starting from the top plant to the bottom plant, all the way though the last sections. Learned the hard way lol

I pumped up the bloom nutrients a little. As it’s my last week before I go into the flower stage. My lights will go 12/ 12 shortly. I added a wooden support system because the plant was slanted a little bit. I also removed clones yesterday. And the plant is healing very very well and fast. Lots of new baby nodes growing! took out the strongest two plants to keep as mother plants. And I continued LST as the plant keeps growing steadily!

For about a week now the nights have gone 12/12 I put them at 1000w in the beginning but they became too hot as they grew taller and started burning the tops of my plants. I switched the lights to 750w until i finish setting up the inline fans bringing in the natural cool air from outside. im hoping that way the lights wont burn my babies. With some help I did some light, minor "lollipopping" and defoliation on all plants. I want to see how the plants react then next week I may continue. So far the plants are enjoying their new feeds.

Week 2 of flower for these girls. I decided to use a lesser dose of nutes because I noticed after a few days after my feed last week that there may have been some leaf burn. -I changed up the nutrients a little and also finished putting up my inline fan - pulling fresh air from outside in for CO2. I simply used ducts for it. Now that cooler air is coming in from outside I can slowly turn up my lights to 900 watts, I’ll see how they do in about a day or 2 more and then the lights will switch to 1000watts. -Did some more defoliation. The leaves grow so fast!! Took 2 days to do all my plants lol I’m trying to do it every week or other week -The plants are drinking a lot more than they used to, I’m now feeding water every second day and nutes every second day! They’re growing so fast before my eyes It’s such a cool feeling seeing all my hard work coming along, with the first buds popping up and looking like real weed now. Feeling motivated! 😇

The plants are drinking more Still trying to find the best nutrient feeding schedule. I noticed the leaves were turning light green after i took the nitrogen level down so i put it back up a little. I defoliated this week only removing the leaves in the middle and top that are blocking other bud sites. took only a few off each plant so the plant doesn't stress out. I left the bottom larger leaves on the plant so it takes the nutrients from the bottom first before the rest of the plant when its deficient, That way only the bottoms will turn color instead of my whole plant. Thats just the way i like to do the defoliation but i know everyone has their own ways :) Next week I will defoliate once again.

I defoliated the plants more aggressively because i didnt do a good job the first time, Unfortunately there are no diaries with the same weed that I am growing so I cant know what it’s supposed to look like at this stage. they are looking funny with all the bottom leaves bushy and the tops with minimal leaves lol but it really is helping the buds on the lower parts of the stems to reach light and grow. It was alot harder for the buds on the lower stems to grow as there was sooo much bush covering them, there are new buds still forming to this day l and i was getting afraid they wouldn't become mature enough in time for harvest so i decided to break my back for a few hours a day until i defoliated the plants one by one the right way this time, again leaving the very bottom leaves, and just removing the top leaves. Hopefully i wont have to do it for a while after this because it was really hard on my back, even with help. At this stage we’re starting to see some colour changing on the long white hairs , a couple hairs are turning brown-ish.

This week after all the defoliation was done I made sure all the stems were spread out under the net so light was easily accessible to the bottom of the plant stems because I’ve really wanted them to grow out larger to reduce the amount of immature buds come harvest time. So far so good, because due to there being less leaves, all the buds have an equal chance at life lol They are growing everyday slowly but it’s noticeable for me, I like to keep the plants in the same area so I don’t lose track of the ones I’ve been keeping progress notes on. And I also show the same plants in my photos so I can see side-by-side photos of progress through week changes. :) I’ve upped the bloom nutrients and lowered the others. I also switched from bud candy to CarboLoad at this point for juicier buds. I will be switching to Unsulphured blackstrap molasses come early next week as I’ve heard many great things about it opposed to the synthetic stuff, I bought some at BulkBarn so we will have to see the outcome in these next few diaries.

I haven’t done anything during the stage, I added the nets back on after rearranging them. The nets are a bitch to take off and on all the time. This should be the last few weeks by the look of it. It says the strain has nine weeks flowering time but we will see. I’ll get the microscope this week to see the Trichome colour. I gave them their normal nutrient feed, then on water days I added unsulphured molasses. I didn’t really recognize any change so far. But I’m going to keep giving molasses from now on, on the plain water days.

This week nothing done, waiting for buds to fatten up. Few weeks longer Still feeding unsulphured molasses on water days. The smell keeps getting stronger every week, I’d say it’s more of a coffee smell but my nose is out of whack sometimes 😆

I was sick for a whole week this week so pardon my lack of info. I had watered only a little bit this period unfortunately, I’m wondering if that’s why there’s so many nee vibrant colours I’m seeing on my plants It’s crazy some girls are normal green colour and others are like pure yellow and red and purpleeeeee 😳 it’s like a rainbow when you walk into the room! The last day of the week I started the flushing . Only watering with ph balanced water. No nutrients . 10-14 days I will chop chop What do you guys in the comments think about these new colours ?

😇Last week for ripening. flushing with unsulphered backstrap molasses to take out all the yucky chemical tastes in the weed. im flushing every 3 days. just normal watering i dont even see a run off sometimes, just barely! Tomorrow I will be chopping down and you will see my results next week. Thank you for reading my diary. if i dont make my next weeks diary on time that means i am stuck in the couch from this weed consumption LOL happy growing everybody !!! thank you all for following my diary and all the positive comments and tips ive recieved from my GrowDiaries family have been so uplifting for me and have given me the confidence to keep on growing my plants. i wish you all a successful grow for your upcoming harvests and i thank you all again so much for being here with me every step of the way 😘

***I’m not sure why but it’s only letting me put 100 growing plants, but I actually harvested 180 plants in three separate rooms of about 300 sqfeet almost each, running in at 350 g per plant *** Given her being my first grow, I don’t really have anything to compare to but me and my plants have gone through a lot this year. Definitely going to need filters with this one, for the strong scent. 10 out of 10 would recommend this strain. I tried some fish fertilizer through some of the early growth and everytime I did, I would notice the plants beginning to burn so I completely stopped it, I learned organic is the best way to go if I’ll ever be using fertilizer again. This is the only way I would’ve learned it through experience! I didn’t think I can make it all the way through with my harvest, but ever since I got on Growdiaries everybody has helped me tremendously with every question I had, without the site my whole to harvest would’ve went to shit along time ago. Haha I really can’t thank my Growmies here enough for all their support. Every time I thought about giving up I would have uplifting comments assuring me my plants we’re doing fine. A message to all nee growers. Don’t be afraid of failure. Ask questions. I don’t know when my next grow will be but when, or if I decide to grow again, I’ll definitely document it on the best possible weed growing platform. Cheers friends!
