After a short soak in water they have been moved into soil. Fingers crossed they all emerge. Using a plant heating pad to keep them happy in my New England basement.
2/3 on germination. One came up perfectly, while to other was stuck in its seed for a few days. Eventually it came off, but it was real touch and go for the first week.
Made a few mistakes last week. Lights were too low, looked at the wrong feed chart- major damage to fan leaves. Raised lights, feed with pure water, and fed again at the correct introduction amount.
That being said I skipped an update last week as I did damage control and tried to get a better handle on environment.
Things are looking better!
One lady got topped this week- the other is still tiny so she’ll probably grow all natural. Seeing improvements. Would like to see a bit more side growth by now 🤷♀️
Looking a bit better from last week. Growth is picking up, and I’m starting to see more side branches stretch. I plan on giving them another two weeks of growth and then flipping. We’ll see if that’s how things go.
Chugging along and looking good. Nothing major to report. Keeping feeds pretty consistent. Things are going smooth. Hate to mess that up right now. 🌱 👊🏻
Bummed up feeding a bit. They plants did not see impressed. Lol. Watered again after two days with pure ph’ed water. Rearranged the tent a bit- more plants in the back row- making it easier to water, and giving each strain a bit of time in the center of the tent.
Chugging along. Basically just waiting for the flip- which should begin in exactly one week! Colors a bit yellow- upped feedings a bit, added in 1.5ml of calmag with feedings. One plant was topped, and is beautiful shaped and stumpy at 10 inches , while the other plant is a bit more Chugging along. Basically just waiting for the flip- which should begin in exactly one week! Colors a bit yellow- upped feedings a bit, added in 1.5ml of calmag with feedings. natural shaped and 16 inches in height.
Chugging along. Day 6 of flower. Not really seeing any height changes yet. Adjusted feeds to reflect light change. The tall one has some funky 12 finger mutant leaves. 🌱
Photo dump. I took everyone out of the tent- gave them each their own personal photo shoot- and checked out their parts. So far so good. Lots of pistols showing. A few formed calyxes and most importantly NO balls.
That said things are going nice and steady. Officially day 13 of flower.
Officially day 20 of flower. Girls are looking great. I’m beginning to seeing some trichomes appearing at forming bud sites. I can tell these are two very different shaped plants. I moved the 3 white widows into their own tent- Bc space was getting tight and I’ve still got a ton of time left. So now these 2 are in with 5 other seedsmans plants.
I gotta say- the smell on These is amazing. Otherwise they are going just fine. No major issues. One plant is tall, and the other short and bushy. It will be interesting to see how similar/different they will actually be at the end.
Halfway through flowering. Took everyone out, removed some yellowing/dry leaves from the bottom- checked for any signs of balls or bananas. Everything looks good, and buds are starting to stack up nicely.
These two gave a very unique smell to them that I can’t quite place. Hoping it will come to me. Things are starting to bulk out. I’m enjoying watching 🌱
Holy sunset! Talk about showing some cool colors 🤩 still probably two weeks for these ladies. Hopefully. Top buds are starting to bulk out, but lowers are still white pistols, no swollen calyxes
So begins flush week, if I go that long. I moved some girls around this week. I found a bananas on my peyote gorillas, not a ton, but they seem to need another two weeks. So. I moved the 3 white widows into the big 4x4, and put the peyote gorillas in the smaller 30x30. The plan now is to check trichomes every other day along with watering with just ph’ed water. They when I feel it I’ll kick the lights out for a 24 hour period then get chopping.
Received two seeds free along with an order I placed through seedsman. Could not be happier with the results. Plants showed a variety of colors and handled feedings well. 2 plants- 4 ounces. On to the cure 🌱 👊🏻
Plants grew well. One was topped, one was not. Buds are sticky and fragrant. All large fan leaves have been removed and buds remain in stems with sugar leaves. Plants are hung from the tent using multiple ratchet hangers. Should know dry weight in a week.

Beautiful plants, Really lovely, Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit.
I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily.

For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1.
This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil.

As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully.
So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process.
Happy growing friend!
