So far plants are looking good. A little stretch but once I transplant them I will fix that by raising the soil level. Right now just under a basic light, will move to SE3000 when I transplant them to 5 gallon pots. Happy with 100% germination rate.
This was a great week! Transplanted all the plants into 5 gallon fabric pots, started up the Spider Farmer SE3000 light about 24 inches above at 40% strength, and watered every 2-3 days with 6.5 PH water. Growth is good and no issues so far. I will increase the light strength by 10% per week. I plan to start nutrients next week.
This week went great. I started fertilizer on the last feeding at a very low level. Hit 5 nodes so I topped on the 5th node as usual. I like to keep my plants lower. Next week will slowly work up to more fertilizer, up light strength by another 5-10%, and add my drip line feedings. I look forward to seeing where these plants go!
This week went great. Upped the lights to 70% strength. Still using half levels of fertilizer will up to full levels next week.
Topping went well! I have two good branches now growing out the top node.
Added in my netting for some LST as well as my drip lines for easy watering.
Overall still very pleased with this grow, excited to see how they turn out.
This week went great! Upped the lights to 80%. I started LST on all the branches and so far have broken none which is great! I upped the fertilizer to full strength and added some cal/mag as needed.
I had to add a swamp cooler as my daytime temps were getting into the 90's. It is automatically controlled by a temperature sensor and keeping things below 80F.
Overall very happy with the growth. This next week I will start tucking some branches and again up the lights to 85%.
This week went great again. Upped lights to 95% power, will up to 100% power next week. Starting to scrog by tucking branches across my netting. Did a light trim to clear up some lower nodes and branches.
With all the growth I may need to switch to flower soon. Also had some nutrient burn will be flushing tomorrow to resolve that. Overall very pleased.
I was out of town the past two weeks so I had a late update this week. My automated watering system did not work as well as planned so I lost a lot of lower leaves due to under watering. Easy way to defoliate!
Overall still pleased with the growth. Going to run veg another week or two let the plants recover from the loss of leaves then switch to flower.
This week went great! My plants have fully recovered from the lack of water when I was on vacation. I tucked a few more branches, but my trellis is officially out of room. Smell is getting stronger and covers my hands during any trimming. The Macintosh Meds have really started to stretch, my guess is they are sativa leaning. The other two are definitely Indica leaning.
I have officially switched to flower today! Will start a new fertilizer schedule tomorrow with my next water. I am very excited to see how these high CBD 1:1 plants turn out.
First week of flower went smoothly! I have been doing more and more trimming to get some of the lower nodes and smaller branches off of the plant. I changed my fertilizer schedule to match the early bloom recommended.
Starting to see some hairs! Smell is getting stronger. Can't wait for the next two months to pass and to harvest. These plants have really begun to stretch out.
Final week of the early bloom went well. I did some major trimming on the bottom nodes. The Macintosh Meds has really grown so much I had to move my lights to the maximum height. I hope it slows down a little bit.
Overall everything is going well. Did a flush today to start the next stage of fertilizer schedule. Hairs are starting to really grow out of the bud sites and smell is starting to get stronger. Looking forward to the next 7-8 weeks of this grow!
Another good week in the books. The hairs are really starting to reach out! The Macintosh Meds is super tall I had to bend the tops over a bit using some ties. Overall very happy. Smell is getting stronger.
Humidity has been high this week due to storms, I am hoping it settles down a bit for later flower stages otherwise I may need to buy a dehumidifier.
Another good week in the books. Unfortunately it has been rainy where I live so the humidity has been higher. Hoping it drops back down for the second half of flowering.
Macintosh Meds has finally stopped stretching, a little bit of light burn on the top nugs so I had to bend them over more.
Other than that the hairs are starting to change to some orange. The smell is super strong. Excited for the next weeks to see how these three turn out.
Another great week in the books. Buds are starting to fatten up a lot and trichromes are starting to get heavy. Smell is very strong and citrusy. Very happy with this grow so far.
Heat might be getting a little strong during the day at 85F, but some relief is coming soon as the temperature will drop.
Another great week! Plants are really starting to smell strong. The Macintosh Meds smell like apples the rest are piney and strong. Buds are getting super frosty and plumping up quite a bit. I think yield will be high on these plants.
Overall very pleased, but a lot of leaves are turning yellow. It seems to me that this is just the buds taking nutrients from the leaves and I am not worried.
Another good week, I think I am nearing the end for at least Macintosh Meds which has a shorter flowering period. Smell is super strong especially when I accidentally brush up against buds. Lots of citrus.
My only worry is some leaves on the Critical Cure are starting to rust on the smaller bud leaves. I read this can be a sign of bud rot but I do not see anything with magnification or pulling buds apart.
My critical cure has some of the smaller leaves near and in the buds which are starting to turn rusty brown. Is this a starting sign of bud rot? Should I cut them early?
I do not see anything abnormal under the microscope or when separating the large buds by hand. Thanks!
As someone who has been experiencing a LOT of bud rot this humid summer, I can tell you I don't see any signs that you've got it... the rusty leaves would actually be DEAD leaves, not just discolored, if it WAS bud rot - and if you don't see or feel or smell anything out of the ordinary, I think you're in the clear and can breathe a sigh of relief.
Just make sure you have really GOOD airflow through your plants (which are stunning, btw).
Good luck!
Another great week nearing the end. I think Macintosh meds is about done I am seeing around 20% amber. Critical cure is looking around 10% amber and Kings Kush is around 5%. I may have to stagger the harvest.
All of them are plumping up nicely, smell is strong with citrus. Can't wait to smoke these.
My concerns about bud rot have been put aside, I do not see any dead buds or increasing brown leaves. Just the standard fade as they near the end.
Will probably start pure water for the rest of the feedings.
Macintosh meds turned out great at harvest. Very strong almost apple smell. Buds turned out extremely dense and large and very frosty. I am looking forward after a 6 day dry and 30 day cure to try out the final smoke.
My harvest of Critical Cure turned out great! The smell is very strong and almost fruity. Nugs are dense, frosty and large. Some stems even broke when I was doing a light trim before drying. Overall this is a great strain and look forward to after a 6 day dry, 30 day cure to try out the final product.
Kings Kush CBD was an excellent and easy grow. This plant has super strong smell piney and fruity. Lots of frost on all the sugar leaves. The nugs on this grew very large and dense and this plant took to LST like a dream. I will definitely be growing again and I look forward to trying the final product after a 6 day dry, 30 day cure.
