Labatts Summer 2018 Grow

labatts_blue First time growing in coco coir. So this time I am growing: 2x B.O.G. Lifesaver 2x La Plata Labs Flubber 1x Gorilla Glue Bagseed 1x Unknown Bagseed The Gorilla Glue bagseed really took off from the start. One of the Flubbers got a slow start because the seed husk stayed on way too long. It is showing pretty severe nute burn even though none of the other plants are.

labatts_blue Wow......what a difference a week makes! The Gorilla Glue bag seed is at least twice as tall as any of the other plants. I topped it after today's picture was taken. The stunted Flubber has come back well and is almost normal size. Bought an Inkbird IHC-200 humidity controller and hooked the dehumidifier to it. I'm pretty pleased with it overall.

labatts_blue The tent is getting crowded. The main stems of some of these plants are really thick. The Gorilla Glue bag seed is way taller than everything else. I'm assuming it's a sativa. Did some defoliation and LST. Topped one of the lifesavers that was getting tall. They all seem to be happy with 1/2 the recommended nutes.

labatts_blue Last week before changing the light schedule to 12/12. Check out the defoliation pics. It's amazing how fast the leaves grow back.

labatts_blue First week of 12/12 lights. Defoliated at the beginning of the week. Some pistils have started to show.

labatts_blue The stretch is on and flowers are forming!

labatts_blue It was a tough decision, but I culled the two Flubber plants. I just didn't have room for all the plants and those two were the smallest and least mature. Defoliated the rest big time.

labatts_blue Set up a drip watering system this week. It has been kind of difficult to adjust the amount of water each plant receives.

labatts_blue Not much new this week. Defoliated another time to help with airflow through the canopy. Still haven't got the drip watering system dialed in, Some plants are too wet while others are too dry.

labatts_blue The buds are putting on weight and some of the branches are starting to fall over. Drip system is mostly dialed in. Starting to get smelly and sticky. :-)

labatts_blue 1 gallon pots are too small for plants this size. Will go with 3 gallon size the next grow. Started to get some deficiencies showing up and checked the pH. It was way off. So much for "pH Perfect" nutes.

labatts_blue Having more and more trouble with branches wanting to fall over because of the weight of the buds. A good problem to have, I guess. Switched to 11/13 light schedule to help encourage them to finish faster.

labatts_blue Harvest is approaching!

labatts_blue Still waiting for the trichomes to turn cloudy.

labatts_blue Two bag seeds from different strains. The Gorilla Glue bag seed was a monster. A bit disappointed with the yield but probably my fault due to nutrient mistakes, small pots and crowded tent.

labatts_blue Still waiting for the Lifesaver to ripen.

labatts_blue Last plant left standing. Took forever to ripen compared to the others.
