Germinated very fast with 13 Essentials as usual, only a couple days. Starts off soil because I didn't expect to switch to hydro so soon. This was originally meant to be a scrog but I switched to manifolding instead, easier for hydro.
Loving hydroponics so far! Had issues with roots getting tangled since they were already long when I transplanted but it worked out. Wish I had 4 seeds instead of 3 for this grow, I have 4 buckets!
You'll see slow growth this week due to the roots on two of the plants. They were so long already so they were hard to put in the small net baskets! Wasn't really satisfied I had put them in properly as I didn't want them to get root bound, so I redid it and finally found something that worked. They start to explode the following week!
Another easy week maintaining the water and nutrients. Have to top off the buckets after 2-3 days of a fresh change because they're drinking so much! Training of each individual shoot begins.
Switched them to flower on 7/5/18! On 7/14 I switched the nutes to the "transition to bloom" blend which basically means it's winging them off of vegetation nutrients. Next week (week 3 of flower), I will then switch to the full on bloom blend!
Other than that, just keeping them trimmed and trained as they begin to flower!
Cleaned up all the center and bottom growth to get those long, thick colas! Little plant only has 7 main shoots because one was just in the way... Switching them to full bloom nutes on week 3 of flower 😊
These gals are doing fantastic! Smell is really starting to come out now, smells like a very strong citrus pine 👌🙌 Switched them to full strength flowering nutes and they're doing pretty well. I probably should have transitioned them a little earlier but a little stress doesn't hurt, they're growing just fine! Heat is also an issue but they'll manage 😅
8-4-18 :: Largest plant's bucket got empty on accident; Filled a 15gallon reservoir of full strength nutes and pumped the solution into the bucket as always. Next day my largest plant is dying and the other two are fine, looks like lockout. Flushed for a day and then added nutes, no improvement.. Orange pistils are appearing pretty fast on it too as if it's trying to ripen but not grow. My heart is broken😰
UPDATE: Realized I was an idiot and didn't plug up the holes I drilled into the top of the buckets (I stick a hose in there to fill them up) and the roots were exposed to light.

Hi @KalooNie! How are the roots? I see that roots were also exposed to the light, that's 2 accidents in a row, she may never recover, especially if roots are severely damaged. Also, you should not change your solution every day or every 2 days, try to adjust it when needed but change the whole reservoir only once a week. Hope she'll recover soon, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
Not much going on here. Harvested the shocked plant (was my largest) because it was basically dead, broke my heart 😕
Wen't to San Fran for surgery so I wasn't able to give the plants proper nutrients until a week later
Due to all the shock these plants have endured along with the heat stress, they unfortunately aren't going to get very big 😔 Not to mention they're only in 2 gallon pots!
Smallest plant's flower is turning purple due to a fan being on them more than the other (my guess)
Didn't get a lot of pictures this week because what's the point this late into flowering. Hairs are really starting to turn orange, just waiting for them to finish ripening 😊
Great stuff, definitely feels like a 60 Sativa/40 Indica strain. Great to smoke at all times of the day! Helps you cheer up and socialize but it'll also help you sleep if you let it 😉
Was a fun strain to grow and I'll definitely try it again now that I know how they react. These girls cannot handle heat very well so be sure to keep temps cool in flower (60-80°F) and have a nice breeze. If you keep the breeze fans on at night and keep them cool, they'll definitely turn purple on ya! Super sweet and cirtusy at first and then it developed into a more sweet, earthy pine with citrus hints (2 week cure at that point).
@Athod@OutForReal - I do have an air pump running 24/7. Roots look great with no smell, went ahead and rinsed them. I just realized the roots were exposed to light leak from a fill hole we drilled into the top, probably why it's dying! Anyway, covered up the holes in each bucket so will see if that helps.

@Stick, the plant died so we harvested it early. They were ready for a change (once a week) but it was a day or two early so that didn't help, especially with the the HPS light leak! Checked the roots before harvest and it was definitely dying, not nasty and rotted though (yet). Thanks for helping! Much more room to train the other two so it'll be alright 👍
