Welcome to my second ever grow!!!
This is going to be a ScrOG grow, first ever, so prepare for hilarious newbie mistakes and misconceptions. Make sure to put a laughing emoticon so I know you're not mad at me 😂.
Here's what's on the agenda:
-1x Mexican Airlines
-2x Pineapple Express
-1x Strawberry Pie
-All Autos
Placed the seeds in water for 12hrs and then onto a paper towel. 24hrs later only Mexican Airlines isn't popped but it's cracked. I'll prepare the other Mexican Airlines just in case...
Planted the two Pineapple Expresses and the Strawberry Pie. In 6hrs I'll place another Mexican Airlines seed into towels. I hope that little delay won't affect the collective grow of my new minions 😇.
The cracked Mexican Airlines got a root but it's bent around the seed. I've put it into soil and we'll see.
It's day 4 and the two Pineapple Expresses are growing out from the soil. The Mexican Airlines got the root sticking out from the soil and all wrapped around the seed. Just planted another one. The Strawberry Pie is still in the soil; I'm waiting patiently and the Strawberry takes 1-2 weeks less to flower so plenty of time...
Day 5 - Hopes are all 4 will be good. Pineapple Expresses look good and the two others are getting out towards the light 😇.
Day 6 - All 4 minions are spawned! See you in week 2 which starts day 10 😂.
Day 9:
Starting the week with optimism and complete ignorance of my troubles. Fck it. My minions are spawned and I'm hoping the grow will go smoothly.
Day 11:
Spotted some fungus gnats but it's getting better now I think. Apart from that, everything is fine... 😇👩🌾
Day 13:
- Not many flying things survived.
- Just watered the minions and put on humidifier mist cause today it's 40% humidity here.
- Also I've got CannaCure by Canna. A physical barier against mites and stuff with some good bio nutrition's for the foliage. It prevents too much moisture escaping from the plant in high heat too.
Day 17:
Starting the week with a fresh photo of my minions and some CannaCure. They grow so fast I think twice a week would be in order.
Day 18:
Topped my minions above the 3rd node. Only the Mexican Minion is still 2 nodes. Going to nicely water them now and sing them some heavy metal to sleep. 😂 🧐
Day 23:
Just topped the Mexican Minion above the 3rd node and watered them. I remember the previous grow was holding more water or maybe I'm wrong. Anyhow a litre bottle almost completely stays in the pot. Also today I laid off the Root Juice.
Day 26:
- Starting the week late waiting for ScrOG time. It was advised to me to install the screen 25cm above the pot but I'm going for 20 odd and I'll test out later when I get rid of few leaves how difficult it is to work with it.
- ScrOG net is installed and I'll just have to tape the thing down.
- All of my minions are in good shape and looking healthy. I've got only little experience but they seem to grow fast. 🤩
Day 29:
- Mexican Minion is nearly at the screen. The three others are already rising above. 😁
- Some of the leaves are turning yellow at the bottom. Let's see how easy it is to grow with ScrOG. Had enough trouble placing a fan in there and watering is a B. 🧐
Day 31:
- Apart from couple of yellow leaves, everything is fine. They're growing like... Well... Weeds! 😂
Day 32:
- It's time to wove the branches under the screen but I have a better idea and I'm removing the net. I have a feeling it's not the right move right now. I can't tell if I'm going to hurt them or not... Let's do it some other time.🧐
- The Pineapple Minions and the Strawberry are flowering already. Amazing how quickly the autos grow.
Day 36:
- Done some defoliation on the bottom leaves. Lot of them turned yellow.
- Little worried they may be stalled cause of too little watering and nutrition. It's the fifth week and they're not 40cm yet... 🧐
Day 37:
- 40cm ☺️
Day 39:
- Minions looking healthy... ☺️
- Doing some defoliation on all of them snip snip. 🌲
Day 42:
- Looking good and only couple of leaves are turning yellow. I think some more defoliation is in order as the mid height buds don't get enough light.
- Sprayed them with CannaCure yesterday and watered. As advised I'm using less products on Mexican Airlines Minion cause it's Sativa dominant.
Day 45:
- Doing some major defoliation...
- Still worried they don't grow fast enough but I see other grows pick up speed around this time so I'll wait patiently. 👩🌾
Day 48:
- Some frost has shown up on Pineapple and Strawberry minions. Not much is happening with the Mexican Airlines. 🧐
Day 49:
- Got an USB microscope and learning how to take nice pics with it. It's a bit tricky but got one good pic of the frosts. More to come... 🤩
- Mexican Minion got some frost too at last. I'm worried it may be a Hermie but I'll use the new microscope tomorrow and ask around... 👩🌾
Day 52:
- Got rid of few secondary shoots and few leaves.
- The Minions (apart from Mexican Airlines) are little too light green. I think that's nitrogen deficiency but I'll read up more on this.
- Switched to Fish-Mix instead of Bio-Grow.
Day 53:
- I think the Pineapple Minions and the Strawberry are getting back their colours after switching to Fish-Mix.
- Boldly cut all the secondary shoots on Pineapple 2 and left them on Pineapple 1. We'll see what difference does it make and I'm getting stoned this evening. 😂
Day 54:
- The rewards for the 2nd place Newbie of the Month July '22 arrived. It once and for all proves that loyalty can be bought or won or whatever. Anyway I have enough seeds now to last me a year 🌲🌲🌲. Thank you FastBuds, you're making the world a better place! 😇
Day 55:
- I've cut the secondary shoots on Pineapple 1 too cause a lot of yellow leaves appeared and had nothing to smoke. 👹
- Done some more defoliation to let more light in.
Day 56:
- Got so stoned yesterday... I'm trying not to but I have a feeling I'll find a reason to cut again... 🤔 The good thing is that the Pineapple Minions are already strong as sh*t and not fully mature yet.
- I'm a bit worried about their size and size of the buds. Increased Top-Max, Bio-Bloom, and Bio-Heaven to 3ml each. The BioBizz schedule is for the photoperiods so I'm trying to balance them being small and possible nutrient lock from increasing everything. 👩🌾
I'm a little disappointed with the quantity of this harvest but quality wise it's spot on. It was an easy grow with no complications.
Got only 30g dry bud out of two topped plants so I don't expect applause bud at least those dealers have nothing on me. This bud is better PERIOD. 👩🌾
Day 60:
- The Pineapple Minions have been dealt with and I'm really stoned. 😎
- The Mexican and the Strawberry minions are good. Not their time yet but they're getting close.
- Sorrow, oh great sorrow they gave little too little this grow but at least they have a kick like no others. 👩🌾
Day 62:
- The remaining two minions are fine and almost ready.
Day 63:
- Switching to clean water to see what this mythical flushing does. I guess it's different when using chemicals in growing but flushing organic stuff? 🧐
- The Minions are generally fine. 👩🌾
Day 65:
- I'm asking around about possible harvest in the very near future. I mean the tent is open, pruning tool on standby and nothing else to do... 🤣
Day 67:
- The grow has came to an end. Coming up the harvest weeks for the Strawberry Pie Auto and Mexican Airlines Auto.
Thanks for reading and Mary be with You... 😇
I'm a bit disappointed with the quantity of the harvest. I blame it on poor lighting thought a photoperiod Bruce Lemon Diesel went huge. Getting a new lamp now and I'll give them another run.
Very little harvest due to poor lighting and topping an autoflower but it has a proper kick. Lesson learned that if you have poor lighting, do photoperiods. Anyway I'm happy with the smoke I have. It's a head ripper.
