OG Kush Clones

I'm feeling very discouraged with my grow attempts, as I haven't been able to get anything off and running. I know it's a learning process, and that's fine, but I hope to start seeing some results. I know hydro is more complicated and way less forgiving. Recently, I finally figured out that on my first grow attempt, I got some bad root rot, so my subsequent attempts suffered the same demise. I did a purge and a deep clean. I REALLY hope that this attempt can jump off, although I'm already seeing some issues with the leaves. I'm trying to be clean and conservative with my nutes. My goal is stay positive, vigilant, and patient. Special thanks to those of you who have given me some great advice thus far. I'm very anxious about keeping this diary public, as it outlines my mistakes, but hopefully I can learn from them :)

So it’s looking like (knock on wood) that they’re going! Growth looks cool to me, as does color, and the roots are coming in nice, save for the girl in the back right. I’ve stepped up the nutrients a bit, and feel I can follow the prescribed amounts a bit closer. My biggest issues here are temp regulation. Theyre far from consistent, as the room temp fluctuates so much cause we’ve cause we’ve been having heatwaves nonstop here (SoCal). I’m also doubting the accuracy of Lyndon thermometer, I’m hypothesizing that they’re showing warmer temps than reality. Gonna mess with that a little...

I'm excited with how these are going!! They started growing a lot. Really short, stalky, and bushy. It's really interesting to compare how these are growing compared to their mothers outside. I'd think they were a completely different strain.... I tied em down to train em. I decided I'm not gonna top em, but just tie em down, support em, and probably SCROG. The roots are coming in nice, and they generally look happy, which is exciting considering I was dealing with some major root rot issues before.

Plants have been exploding! Did some defoliation cause it was so bushy, and just setup a trellis so I can start tying branches down and training em outward. Just a bit before I flip, I presume. Surprised at how fast they're growing! I sprayed with a bit of copper cause I thought I saw some signs of rust fungus. I am a little worried about the high ppm. I actually emptied some water and filled with tap (instead of RO) to arrive at a number slightly higher than what I wrote down.

I started decreasing light and by next week they'll be flipped! I'll start flower nutes then. I did major defoliation last week, and again yesterday. Defoliation was scary at first but feels AMAZING. I'm also getting a better idea how to train the plants in this closet in the future. I'm also getting the idea of how NOT to use the prescribed amount of nutes, as the solution is a bit hot this week. Plants look good though!

Officially flipped! I lowered the light time last week. They've already started to explode. I'm trying my best to even out the canopy. I've been defoliating a lot and i thinktheyre ready to go.

Holy Stretch!!! They definitely stretched like crazy, and started developing flowers. Seems waaaay faster than their mothers who are outside. I'm now seeing how I can train them better for a more even canopy. Feeling pretty good and excited about these!

Flowering!!!! They're looking and feeling great. I'm still a bit worried about the high ppm. I cut down even more (slightly) on the nutes, but it still comes up high. The girls don't seem to mind though.

Flowering!!! I saw slightly burnt tips. Figure it's nute burn. Still concerned about the distance to light, but nothing I can do about it at this point I don't think... Chuggin along!

They're really fattening up! I tied up a few colas to move them more under the light. I feel I got the TDS a lot closer to a desirable amount. In addition to many other things, Ive learned how these plants must be trained to form an even canopy and not get crowded.

Buds are really filling out! The TDS and PH has been inconsistent, meaning the h20 levels decrease and TDS and PH change with it, so more adjustments are necessary. Ive been noticing some calcium deficiencies, so I added Cal/Mag mid week. Starting yo lower concentration, getting ready

So I left town for 10 days, and suffered some nute burn! Not as bad as the other chamber though.... It was from the high TDS from weeks before. lesson learned about controlling the amounts of nutes. There was no major pics taken while I was gone, so excuse the single pic. The buds are getting so heavy and dense that I put another net over them. More lessons learned about training and pruning

Winding down the nutes. Getting ready for flush and harvest. Bummer that I have to look at nutrient burn every day, but the buds are big and smell great. Maybe some fox tailing happening? Trichomes are mostly clear still. 2 weeks minimum.
