After successfully getting strong taproots, I was able to start these "lovies" in jiffy cups packed with Fox Farm OF, Grow Big, & sandwich baggies over the top to help with humidity l. Grow light set @ 50% @ about two(2) ft. Since I'm in the Northeast, I'm using Vivosun heating pads, & a humidifier to help keep the roots/ soil warm moist & warm. At the start of this run it was supposed to Cackleberry, ATA Tundra, & Super Skunk. But as you will find out later in this diary, Skunk & Tundra didn't work out, so I added Crescendo & OG.
It was nice to see the Cackleberry poke its "head" above the soil. The Super Skunk & ATA Tundra didn't fare so well... This is where I moved on to OG & Crescendo.
Cackleberry is showing its ASS! Didn't realize until a lil later that day, the roots were popping through the jiffy pot. So I transferred "her" to the 3 gal. fabric pot, added some Extreme Gardening MYKOS & AZOS, BUCKY BLOOM concentrated /dried cow manure, & watered "her" with filtered water mixed with blackstrap molasses & Fox Farm Grow Big. I wanted to experiment with heat retention, so I decided to try terracotta trays on the heating pads. I was happy with OG popping its "head" out of the soil, & wanting to play proper. Crescendo still needed some love with the baggies for humidity & patience.
Cackleberry is still BEASTING. Transferred the OG's to 3 gallon pots, & gave them the same treatment of Xtreme Gardening MYKOS & AZOS, BUCKY BLOOM concentrated / dried cow manure, & filtered water with Blackstrap molasses, & FF Grow Big added. Can't wait 'til next Sunday to transfer the Crescendo, & start the 18/6 light cycle & officially flip them to Veg.
Finally got the last seedling in a 3 gal pot with the same soil. @FoxFarm OF... For nutes, I used @BuckyBloom concentrated dried cow manure... @XtremeGardening MYKOS, & AZOS... & lastly, @Greenleafnutrients Cal - Mag, Sweet Candy, & MEGA CROP on all of the "ladies" Switched to an 18/6 lighting cycle. And FIMMED the Cackleberry.
Since the light cycle change from 16/8 to 18/6, these ladies are BEASTING & feasting. Turned up the light intensity to 100% @ 24 inches high. FIMMED one of the OG's. Defoliated some of the Cackleberry. Water /feed about every three days... Probably Veg about two more weeks so all of the "Ladies" had @ least four weeks in Veg.
Flushed the "girls" for a second week in a row to make sure I got rid of thr nitrogen toxicity issue. Starting feeding "them" again with a mild solution. FIMMED the Crescendo & OG. They all seem to responding favorably. Probably flip to 12/12 cycle Ina week barring no other issues.
Flipped the lighting to 12/12. Fixed the nitrogen toxicity issue, but these "ladies" are thirsty. Still experimenting with the nutes mix to dial it in.
It sucks to get to the flowering stage to find out two out the four plants were males.... But you gotta be grateful & keep it pushing. Both of my Ancient OG's were males. If I were set up for breeding, I would have let it rock. The Cackleberry & Crescendo are definitely females, & they are thriving and surviving.
I think on the next run, I'm gonna use five gallon pots... That seems like a happy medium between the 10 gallon, and the 3 gallon pots I'm using now. These girls drink. Especially since I have the light @ 100%. But they're thriving and surviving in spite of me...lol. Less is DEFINITELY more.
So, I'm actually in the 5th week of flower. I missed a posting, & I'm too lazy to correct it. The "girls" are thriving now that I fixed the lighting / nutrient situation. Tricomes are starting to develop. About 4 more weeks of flower.
7th" Inning Stretch ", or week 7 of flower. Either way I'm excited. About 2 more weeks to go. Feed them today, and I'll feed them nutes one more time on Wednesday. Then next Sunday start the flush. Cackleberry has a lemon /pine kind of scent. And the Crescendo is definitely more skunky.
