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.
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.
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.
All have responded nicely to some light training, I only held the highest tops down for a set while to let the lower stems catch up. The mis-hap that ended up in a glass is still going strong
At the beginning of this week the plants were moved into a bigger tent. 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
During this week the plants showed there Tru colours and unfortunately my tri leaf turned out to be male. On the positive side though at least the remaining two ladies have plenty of room to spread there arms out now :)
This week new flowers popped up everywhere and they began to fill out nicely. The widest lady is just shy of a metre wide. I continued to hold down the branches to maintain a even canopy
The girls are coming along nicely now, there has been no issues this week, it feels as though Everything is in auto pilot now with a visit every day and a water every other day, there drinking 2.5l each in that time. still no smell yet though.
The girls are still coming along nicely ( at least I think they are seeing as I have no experience to compare with)
Little buds are popping up everywhere and there’s a mouth watering citrus smell lingering in the garden now, not sure if this’ll is all down to the strain or because I use lemon in my water to lower the ph down to 5.8 ish.
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 👊
This week the girls still seem happy and are growing nicely by the day :) I’ve opted for leaf tucking rather than plucking as I dont feel it’s necessary to remove any thing when the fan can blow straight through the plants even though they appear to be bushy
This week my smile is growing along with the daily fattening of the ladies :)
Nothing has changed in daily leaf tucking and alternating day watering, theory being if it isn’t broke don’t fix it ✌️
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 😁
Id like to run a little guess the final weight game.
The girls are in there final weeks according to the average growing time given by sensi seed, so if you would like to take a guess just leave a comment here and I will select the closest in a couple of weeks ✌️
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 👌🏼
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
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. ✌️🏻
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!
