A friend of mine gave me this 1 because it was not growing and fell way behind his others he was putting in the yard. I wasnt sure what the hell was going on with it but I thought it would be fun to try to figure it out and get some experience. 1st thing, I thought Ph.. and it was high so I started working on it.
No immedite recovery, so I continued to water and super light feed. Also began training with a bit of lst along with super topping due to how rigid the main stalk was. Didnt do the full pinching trying to form a knuckle. I wanted to keep it as damage free as possible cuz I had to do it below all the growth and was afraid I'd kill it.
Some growth is starting to happen but plant still looks weird and has odd growth. I was defoliating a bit to clear out the clustered growth on the stalk then it hit me.....it started to flower due to the weird weather we had been having and had to reveg. Also flushed with flora kleen at beginning of week and began light feeding. Think I figured it out!
Just found out yesterday from my friend that gave me this clone that he misinformed me the 1st time and it is Superglue not Gorilla Glue. Has several branches now and is taking shape. Will probably put into flower within 2 weeks.
7/23 Just making the switch to 12/12 decided to do it today on a close friends bday that passed away years ago so he can do some crazy ghost shit to it and make it magic or something lol.. Curious how the monster cropping is gonna effect the grow.
7/28 put in trellis net, modified my set up for run off, decreased length of my hangers to give more head room if needed, vacuumed out the bottom of the tent and reinforced areas I was concerned about light leaks. Should be totally DTF (Down To Flower) now. Also changed my fan set up. Put a bigger fan behind plants blowing straight back against the wall to give better overall airflow and not get in my damn way all the time. Will use the little guys when I start getting buds to really ventilate the inside of the plants. I got more watts, more airflow, more light penetration, more overhead space, considerably less humidity and I actually have an idea of what I'm supposed to be doing this time. Shit just might get real around here.....Making it rain with nugs the size of baby elephants or something. Lol
7/31 growing like a weed. I undid my tie downs since I have a good amout of room left. That way I can water easier. Excited to see how this 1 turns out.
8/6 day 15 of 12/12: Thinking about just letting her go from here and not try to keep her the same height as spk jr. That was kinda the original goal and why I got a bigger set up in the 1st place. And now I feel dumb haha.
8/8 defoliated and raised lights a bit. Think I found the line on light distance. 17". Also fed as well. Went with a 6.7 ph to try to raise it back up in the low 6's.
8/12 ready for the stretch to be over with this 1. I cant believe how big it got in a months time. Supposed to be a heavy yielder so I guess we'll see if I can not screw it up.
8/19 experimenting with my feeding/watering a little. Had been giving .5 gallon of nutrient solution for consecutive waterings then giving roughly .6 gallon ph'd water the next. Just finished 3 consecutive .33 gallon feedings then will give .6-.7 just water. Hoping to cut down on any build up in the soil and hopefully get a head start on using all those nutes up. Solid plan? Or am I accomplishing nothing?
8/16 gonna cut back on flower nutes a bit and see if my ph goes up again. Want it around 6.3. Not exactly sure why but it's in the range and I'm feeling a good vibe from it. Buds have definitely started to beef up the last 2 days. Chicks dig it.
8/14 feel like this grow is progressing faster than my 1st. Hopefully that means I'm doing it better
8/20 going to light feed then water and keep doing a 2 day rotation. I'm either over feeding or trying to fix something I dont need to. Cant get the ph up even tho I'm feeding 6.4 ph and watering 6.7ish
8/25 ppm of runoff was 1250 so I'm running some flora kleen thru both to try to get it in balance.
Cant seem to get soil ph to go up. What is the cause and what am I doing wrong. Everything was great until flower so I'm guessing it's the bloom boosters. I've fed light and watered til at least 5% runoff the entire grow.
Hi there ! Everything seems to work fine and to be done right ! Except your PH that I would correct with ph up as you've always been on the "average" but I noticed that your solution is more acidic since when you've stoped using FloraNova Grow. The only thing that coul be corrected is your PH level with PH up or down as your parameters and setup looks both great : but RH is a bit low (37% is for mid flowering ) and you'r giving her too much water (1.25 a day , really ?) !! Hope it will helps you 😁👊
8/27 buds put on some size the last 2 days and I got my ph back where I want it. Ppm of runoff was down to 1050. Pretty excited about this grow. Cant wait to see how it turns out. Gotta finish strong!
9/2 runoff is back in check as far as ph. 6.2-6.3. Quit using tigerbloom while I got it back up over 6. User some today so we'll see if it drops again. Runoff ppm was 550 yesterday so I went ahead and fed a 900ppm solution. Still dont know really anything about ppms but based on what I know 1500-900=600. So theoretically if my runoff was 600 and i fed at 900 then that's like 1500ppm max in the pot available to the plant right? Much more ideal than 1500ppm runoff from watering. I guess I'll find out next watering lol.
This week I will begin trichome watch. Accidentally cut off a little bud a few days ago and its dry now. It's hard as a rock and is so glittery it looks fake with the camera flash. Curious about what my yield we be. Of I could get 5oz I'd be satisfied. 4 would be acceptable. Less and I'm a failure.
Beginning final flush this week along with my battle against spider mites. I think I got em under control but 1 mite is 10 too many. Using a 9:1 water to rubbing alcohol mixture and spraying daily. Seems to be working. Will probably continue for the rest of the grow unless I notice it causing problems
9:1 didnt seem to be working as well as thought so going 1:1. These bastards are hard to get rid of. Every time I think I got em good they come back at me. Almost panicked and harvested the other day. I'm anxious to get this done so I can use harsher measures to kill them in the tent.
Need advice so I want to get a vote. All in favor of harvesting now to prevent further damage....? And now all opposed to said harvest and think I should wait a bit....? Was going for max thc with these.
Well the mites are getting the best of me. I think I'm gonna have to harvest this weekend, ready or not :(. I just dont want to let the plant get too damaged and have it deteriorate the quality of my bud. I was so excited about this 1 too! Now I hate it and think it sucks. That was a real kick in the nuts. :(
Got the plant from a friend as a clone. He said it was stunted and growing weird and wouldnt catch up to the others so he didnt want it. I realized a few weeks in when doing some research that it was monster cropped by the weather. About then is whe. It took off and grew like crazy. It was a lot more sensitive and delicate that the spk. Got Invaded by spider mites but the spk 2 inches away did not. A lot more frequent minor leaf coloration problems from nutes, lights, fans.....pickiest of the 3 strains I've grown so far.00
