It's been about 2 weeks now since I transplanted into a new container. Also decided to take a leap with Mother Earth Groundswell soil mix so I'll give her another week or 2 to hopefully leach out the nutrient levels so we can begin her flowering journey. So far she doesn't look effected much by the transplant but some leaves are twisting and showing their underside so I'm assuming she's in need of some more mag then Iv been feeding so I'll be doing that today. I also need to get ties so I can get her last back down before flip.

So Iv been growing this girl for a little bit and have run into a few issues since it took me some time to get myself a proper pH pen. Now that I have one Iv been keeping pH around 6.3. It kinda looks like I have a potassium deficiency but I'm hoping things go back to lush once she bounces back 🤞🏼🤞🏼

It's Week 9 of Veg and I'm working on getting her back on track so I can switch her to flower. Watered with 2 tbs epsom salt a few days ago and today I'm watering with 1/2 tsp cal/mag. For a moment I thought to myself it may be easier to chop and just grow other genetics but I don't wanna quit. So Subcool, I'm not giving up Forever R.I.P. SubCool

Gave her another dose of Epson salt and she seems happy. New was looking a bit burnt on tips. I assume it's because of the cal/mag because since I stopped dosing she looks more lively. I switched to 18/6 so it's less stressful when we head to flower but shes not getting flipped till I know for sure her def are gone. Wish me luck people, much love

Hey friends, so unfortunately Iv been off the internet for a bit but I'm back. I just wanted to give you guys an update of my girl. Since i figured out that I had a magnesium deficiency I add bit of mag every week just keep things looking right. I'm still feeding veg nutes but I will be transplanting to a larger pot this week so I can switch her over to flower just as soon as her roots get a chance spread after being stuck in this 5 gal fabric pot. I will attempt to clone before the switch over but let's see.

This big bushy lady is looking not bad. I'm still adding mag every other watering so im she's definitely starting to show consistent growth so I decided to flip the light schedule to 12/12. I have what I think may be a low dose of nutents but I'll see in the week how she feels about the dose. But this is day 3 of flower officially so let's see how she stretches in the coming weeks

So I got a little wild and tied her down a few days again. I'm just hoping doing it first week of flowing won't bother her too much. Some yellow leaves at the bottom for areas where I wasn't getting much light penetration but I'll be cleaning her in the coming weeks.

Week 3 of flowering and it seems like we're the most part out of the streching phase and might I add it wasn't as much of a stretch as I expected. So I'm going to assume this pheno is the the shorter heavy feeding JTR phenotype but we shall see further into flowering but so far so good. See y'all next week

I may need to increase does of nutrients because I’m seeing yellowish fad starting at the tops. I read she’s a heavy feeder but I have yet to increase so I’ll make sure next feed she gets what she needs. 🤞🏼 So far she’s looking good

Finally Week 4 is here and there is a nice frosting going on in my tent but this Chernobyl definitely is leading the race. With that said I am dealing with mag issues and yellowing from not feeding enough so I upped my feed and added mag. Let's see if this fixes the issue because it's almost time to start flushing. I'll keep a good attitude and see where this leads.

Hey y’all, sorry I’m a bit late on this weeks post. I’ve been having a few issues and it’s beginning to get more stressful the closer I get to end of flower. I having a hard time fixing issues with deficiency’s in my tent. Im having a lot of leaves dyeing from the bottom up and it looks like color is leaving the leaves like a mag deficiency but I’ve been trying my luck with Epson salt but still no resolve. If anyone has any pointers I’ll be glad to note them down and give them a try. Im hopping there’s still a chance for me to turn this around but if not imma make the best of it. Happy growing y’all

Hey growers, we're at week 8 of flowering and she's looking nice and plump. I know she could have definitely been better but I'm taking my mistakes as a lesson. She's in a 14 gal pot so flushing her has been difficult but I think she's as good as she's gonna get. I'm letting her medium to dry a bit and I'll be shutting off the lights for her 72 hr dark cycle. I'll be updating you all when chopped and dryed. Happy growing friends

Week 24. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

So I'm an amateur so my rating is more based on my inexperience. I'm more then positive if I did my part better she'd have 9 Stars. I messed up only using bloom bosster instead of a base bloom nute. The one and only complaint is she can be a bit hard to grow for someone inexperienced. Smoke report.... So after a nice 2 month cure she smokes surprisingly nice. I under estimated her by looks but from the denseness of the buds to the sweet suttle smell to her slightly couch locking effects I'm quite pleased. Most of it turned to bubble hash but I kept 3 really large colas and I'm glad I did. Big up to TGA SubCool 🙏

I'm happy with the harvest but I'll do better next time. This has been a great experience and I can't wait for my next run. 191 grams and I turned most of it into bubble hash. The positive out of it all is I don't have to spend on meds for a little bit. For all my fellow growers that followed thank you for the positive energy and help. The community here is awesome and I'll be back in no time to give it another go. Peace and Happy Growing ✌️

INSANE training man WOW, Amazing work you have done. Would you be alright with me offering some pointers based off what I see in your diary? First off, Cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity, It is the buds that hate it. Early on in veg we can capitalize on this for more vigorous healthy growth. We can look for temps up to 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. We do not want too big of a swing in temperature between lights on and lights off or we will encourage our plants to stretch more than we want them to. Also we can utilize humidity at this stage up to 75% in our rooms to really help maximize the plants growth. When our plants are small, Our roots are small. Cold temps will really stunt their development, especially during the night cycle as this is when plants do most of their growth. They will photosynthesize with lights on store up energy & when they go to sleep do most of their growth. I recommend looking into vapor pressure deficit, Otherwise known as VPD. It will give you a much better understanding of how important temperature and humidity play a role in our plant development. Humidity is great early on to supplement our smaller plants root structures with some foliar intake from the leafs. But when we add in humidity we must do it right to make sure we are optimizing our VPD point. Please read this article and get used to using the chart that it has as well. Log your numbers daily! https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ Next, I would get yourself a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 64 MAX & a PAR meter to better read your plant's needs and grow to them. This equipment will also help us optimize our light to plant distances. If you have any questions please feel free to follow my profile & hit me up anytime! We are currently producing a tutorial series to teach everybody to grow high quality craft cannabis the grow diary for it is live right now on my profile & also the video series of it is live on my youtube, If that interests you head over and subscribe! It is linked off my GrowDiaries main profile. Happy growing my friend!
