Homegrownveg This being my first attempt, begins with an unfortunate burning of my babies and the crushing loss of one of the four growing babies. Fortunately this serves as an excellent example of just how robust and hardy these plants actually are.😅 the burning came from being away for the weekend and for some strange reason the fans stopped and also the humidifier ran out of water. Not nice to come home to.

Homegrownveg The 3 survivors have been transplanted into 6l pots of canna terra and all the problems with the fans Was a simple plug coming out slightly (but enough to switch them off) I also added another humidifier to over lap the time the first is on so that the duration is doubled ( for future weekends away). So yeah, all is back on track.

Homegrownveg Day 22 everyone was transplanted in to 16l smart pots, again in canna terra. I also started giving just 3ml of canna a&b neutrients per l of water. By day 28 I was a little heavy handed whilst giving a slight picking and accidentally broke a few stems and branches, some where proped up back into place and one was chucked into a glass of water in blind panic until I could figure out a solution.

They were given a few days to settle into there new home then I switched The lights over to a 600w hps and put them on to a 12/12 lights cycle. I Chose to have the lights on at night as the day time temperature is way too high and already over heats the area

Hi @Homegrownveg! I see dark leaves not "praying the light" and some clawling tiny leaves, that could be a sign of a slight Nitrogen toxicity in the past, but anyway she did override this issue, you're doing great and will have beautiful buds. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Homegrownveg Due to the heavy rain this week I’m struggling to keep the humidity in a nice range, its currently drifting up to 70% if I don’t keep putting my dehumidifier in with the girls. Apart from that the girls are growing and fattening daily 😁

Homegrownveg This week the girls home settled back down into a perfect range, now that the weather has settled all is well in the garden of weeden. All the pistils are white so I think it’s another week or two of fattening still to go although they are bigger than they look in the photos Groots head at the end of the photos has a top that I accidentally knocked off whilst reaching past it, I instantly shaved the stem Andy placed into a rooting cube and put it into some coco terra in groots head, it’s been going for about 3 weeks now and seems happy enough 👌🏼

Homegrownveg Well this week has been terrifying, it’s rained again all week raising the air humidity right back up to over 70% at times. My dehumidifierahas been running flat out and needs emptying twice a day. Even through all of this the girls are still gaining masses of weight daily (I’m sure they sneak out for midnight snacks whilst i sleep😂) anyhow let’s see what next week has installed for me

This strain was the perfect starting strain for me, it was easy and super forgiving when I was too heavy handed with her. Really chuffed how they came out. I will weigh it all once it’s dry and ready to cure and update the dairy ✌️

Homegrownveg Was super easy and forgiving all the way through, definitely chuffed with my first grow, I just hopeful I get the drying and cure right now to top off my amazing experience. Thaknyou growdiaries for allowing us to share our farming experience ✌️ Update; I’ve ended up with 371.2 g of dry bud, the taste is amazing already and I only tried a few j’s before jarring for the cure, can’t wait to try them again in a few weeks. ✌️🏻

BeefWellingtonsanswered grow question 7y ago

Hello, First, ake your time with the cure, so this is info for after cure process. I agree with mad_scientist about keeping jars completely away from light, and adding %62 boveda packets to jars. They sell metal storage tins as well that are air tight. That's what I'm using, along with 62% boveda packets. That's the best for long term storage, will keep out the mold, and keep the buds just at the right humidity, and keep away from light. Temperature wise, just keep them at room temperature, not too warm. Some people don't recommended the boveda, but it hasn't changed the flavor or smell. The other route is to jar them with a little humidity gauge in each jar and keep an eye on them. I wanted long term storage that I don't have to babysit, so boveda was the way to go. Good luck!

Hi i looked at the pics and the leaves of your girls are very dark green. for me to green. I think your plants are nearly in nitrogen toxic. if i would be you i would stop feeding . they seem to have enough until the end of the grow

@Larimar, hi I stopped feeding them yesterday, they have only been getting canna pk 13/14 for the last two weeks now, ( when I remove the rest off the list the smiley face on the diary turns sad so I left it). The were flushed a couple of weeks back too just to be sure going in to the final part of budding. The information I found about the strain also said the leaves may stay olive green so I hope it could just be how they are.

@Stick, thank you for your insight, could the droopy leaves be due to the fact that every photo is taken just as the lights come on and they have been resting for twelve hours?

Homegrownvegcommented7y ago

@BigBreak, as a first timer I’ve learnt you should be relaxed with your grow and remember that the plants are really resilient and often forgiving so don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Keep your water ph between 5.7 and 6.2, your temperature roughly between 19-29deg c and your humidity between 40-60% and you should do fine. Just remember to have fun, I really enjoyed caring for the girls, although it was a lot more time consuming than I thought it would be, I still loved it al” the same✌️🏻 Good lucky and happy growing 👊
