First Grow

Kevin_grows_hard Planted seeds directly into 5 gallon containers, didn't want to stress the plants by transplanting so I put them in their final home right off the rip. It took 9 days for the tap-rooted seeds to sprout 🌱 out of the soil. I was so excited. Gets me every time. :) First couple weeks of pictures are separated on diff. Devices so I will re upload more soon.

Kevin_grows_hard Just starting to get their second set of leaves and getting about 3 inches high now!

Kevin_grows_hard Just starting to get their second set of leaves! They are really taking off around this point, big fat leaves bright green letting me know they are thriving!

Kevin_grows_hard This week they got about as large as the pots they are in, looking beautiful and just starting to smell a little as you rub the stems.

Kevin_grows_hard After trying different nutes on different plants the emerald harvest ones were almost twice the size so I switched to nothing but the emerald harvest. Can't say enough good about them. King kola and honey chome are ridiculous for the bud phase. Obviously all topping and limited stress tie-down has been done for a few weeks now, plants all have 8-10 main branches. Today I lolipopped all the girls to increase airflow and get rid of anything that wasn't getting light through the canopy. Buds are looking sexy and I'll be getting a jewelers loop for me and a better lens for the diary pics! Hold tight for more amazing pics! Peace love and plants!

Kevin_grows_hard Honestly it feels to me like they took a couple finos of one plant and that's what they sold you. Couple of the plants came out a real fruity smell a couple of them came out a real dark gassy smell, what's crazy is I did the animal cookies and kept them separate and then I did the space cookies and kept those separate and one of the animal cookies and one of the space cookies turned out fruity and then one of the space cookies and one of the animal cookies turned out dark gassy smelling. That's why I think they just threw in a handful of phenos and called them whatever. Ordered from cookies/ lemonade for next crop. Better genetics better crop. I used LED for all of this made by Vipar Spectra the xs1500. This grow had nutrient lock out at one point hence the weird colors had to flush. Happy growing everybody! Also anyone looking into emerald harvest I highly suggest it It's the closest thing to all natural while still providing all nutrients. This was all grown in soil so I would advise not to use as much and don't mix brands, Stick with one whole solution and try using coco, much better results in my opinion faster nutrient uptake. Coco is the closest to hydroponics without having to water constantly.

Kevin_grows_hard This is last week of plants and what it look like in the bag, smell just like fresh baked cookies. For my first time I was pretty impressed not going to lie. And all reality I think I let it go a little bit too long I think it was closer to 11 or 12 weeks. But we grow and we learn I guess. I hope you enjoyed my grow more to come.
