1st Grow *cross your fingers everyone*

Well it’s my first grow and so far all but GSC have shown life popping out of the soul after 3 days in soil. Have started all but my Purple Bud inside and will be switching to the 18/6 light cycle on day 5 for the indoor seeds. Still need to get my grow tent setup in the basement where I will have them in 5G mesh growing bags, and under LED grow lights. The PB outside has also sprouted and have a cut open pop bottle over top to get it moist and protected hopefully from the nighttime critters. Will try to keep things updated with pictures over the coming weeks. Again, wish me luck everyone Oh and all are Feminized Seeds bought from SeedSupreme and GYO Seedbank

Going strong after it’s first full week in soil from seed. Will be going into a tent setup probably this week or next. Looking at grabbing some LED lights from Viparspectra. Ok I have gone ahead and purchased 2 Viparspectra Reflector-Series 600w lights for my 4x4x7 grow tent. Plus I got a floor standing oscillating fan as well. Have the same one running in my living room pretty much 24-7 all this summer. So I trust it to work well in the tent too. Thursday update: my lights have arrived and have bought advance nutrients from my local shop to help the guys get big and strong

Well I finally got my 5x5x7 Growneer tent up in my basement, but will need another 2 days before I get the lights, exhaust and fan setup. Too tired from work and slightly hurting. (If only there were something I could use for pain relief) Things seem to be kind of lagging in growth inside but expect things to pick up once they move to the tent. They will be transplanted to 5G mesh grow bags. Where they will be under 2 Viparspectra 600w light and accompanied by a 40” oscillating floor standing fan. Pics will be posted when the move is done Day 18. Indoor gals are outside in a grow box for a few days. Days are still warm and bright here and will save any money I can before they grow bigger are forced inside for good. Seems to of reinvigorate them with a little breeze strengthening the stems which were thin looking being stuck inside

Well just a couple more days for these guys and all but Purple Bud will be moved into the grow tent. Still need to get my carbon filter and exhaust setup in there but they aren’t producing any smell at the moment and wouldn’t be a problem without it for another week or so. Although again with the milder weather in Southern Ontario has really livin them up from the basement lights setup (plus a little chilly with the ac running) My cousin and her husband came back from seeing his side of the family for a few days and came back with a nice surprise. One of their friends sent home with them, a clone of one of their Cinderella 99 plants. Looking a bit rough but been left to me to hopefully nurse back to health and flowering Day 27 and the tent is all done. I have a 6” exhaust w. carbon filter setup. A 40” floor standing oscillating fan and am using a mix of Promix Soil and Fox Farm Soil.

You’ll see it in some of the growtent photos but I’m hoping to salvage a few of them. From being outside in a small grow box, a few have developed what appears the white mildew mold and have applied some water with baking soda last night to hopefully stop the mold and revive the grow. Purple Bud is looking great outside and will probably be able to top it and start LST sometime this week. Doing some LST right now with the adopted Cinderella 99 clone using some pipe cleaners. Suggested on another forum I have trimmed away most of the leaves that showed signs of the white mold as a precaution. They look healthier to me after doing so and should show in the day 29 to the day 30 pictures provided Day 32 I’m seeing some colour fading from the leaves. I think my lights were too close and have brought them up a few inches. Hopefully I caught it soon enough. Appears I was over watering them Day 33 plants looking slightly healthier from yesterday. No watering I guess for another day, but I did top my Purple Bud and now await for the new growth

Well everyone is inside now (Day 36) and have pretty much topped everyone today, minus the Cinderella 99 clone I was given. So after a rough beginning where I didn’t know what the hell I was doing (still slightly don’t know, but learning) I think I’m hitting a good stride in my grow. The tent has really brought in a new ease to this and it shows the nice continued growth you can see in week 5 (the first full week in the tent) Had to bring in my Purple Bud (nicknamed it Violet as my aunt said I had to name her) The days are still warm as hell recently, but losing my sunlight and having planted her at the end of July. Well, I need her to veg a bit longer and the extended light cycle in the tent I see just what she needs Day 41 and have added a teaspoon of Nutrite Acidic Ph feed to all the plants. With my ph at 7 I have added the nutrite to make the soil more acidic and hopefully get everything down to 6-6.5

Still seeing nice growth continue everyday. I think my ph acidic tablets are kicking in cause the growth from yesterday to today was impressive. I wonder if my Cookie Monster which is an auto is exploding in growth and getting itself ready to flower soon. I guess I will find out soon enough and let you know when I know Day 45 and WOW big growth from day 44. Especially Gorilla Bomb kinda living up to its name and exploding in growth. Keep it up girls Day 49 and looking good. Have a little yellowing of new leaves on my C99 plant and will need to make the soil a bit more acidic

Day 50 and it was watering day. I don’t think my ph reader really works well as it stays at 7 all the time. Still they love that more acidic soil and added 2 caps of vinegar to my water to see if that helps. Plus I topped everyone minus CM and C99. Day 52 getting a little worried for my Cinderella 99. Nitrogen burn and what appears to be like rust spots on the leaves. Hopefully not root rot but here’s hoping it can easily be remedied with a PH balance Day 53 and it look like spider mites invaded my plants. Have applied a 1 to 4 alcohol to water solution and sprayed everyone down last night. Tops and under all the leaves were done and so were the outside of the grow bags. Hopefully I nipped it in time, and thankfully still in vegetative mode. Trimmed a lot of leaves from Cinderella 99 but thankfully under all them bad leaves was some nice new growth ready to take their place. Plus I covered everyone in a safe insecticide white chalkie powder to rip them buggers apart but keep my girls safe. Yet another hiccup in my first try but here’s hoping it’s the last. So don’t be alarmed with new pics with white powder on them. It ain’t mold. . . .again

Day 57 and happy to see Cinderella 99 is bouncing back nicely. I kind of had the stem all covered up with soil and have pulled some of it back to help it breath a little better. Everyone is roughly a foot tall but my Girl Scout Cookies is nearing 15 inches. I wanna get a good yield out of these plants and I know they will double in size once switched to flowering. So I would like everyone near 20 inches before the switch, and hope that will be in 2 weeks tops. Day 59 and going strong. Surprised to see what appears to be my Purple Bud starting to flower. Thought that wouldn’t happen until the switch to 12/12, but the picture says it all. Day 60 and it’s watering day. Almost a half gallon each Day 62 and everyone seems to be on the same page. Moving the lights upwards is giving me the stretch I was looking for. GSC and CM are both now about 16” tall but GDP isn’t even 9” yet but has grown a bit since the lights were raised. So if the steady growth upwards continues like this for one more week. I’m pretty sure I will finally transition to the flowering stage

Day 64 and WOW they kinda exploded overnight. Watered yesterday and my fan is no longer blowing right on them but still blowing along the walls and you can still see the leaves dancing in the wind. Granddaddy Purple is still kinda short at only 10” but half of them are 12” and the others are around 16” So I will state now that this will be my last week of vegetative light cycle and will switch to the flower cycle as of next week. Day 68 I don’t know who is happier about the upcoming transition to flowering. Me of the plants themselves. Watered yesterday for the last time using my TNT Nutrients and will using Green Planet nutrients for the next step. Day 69 getting the tent ready for the transition. So I don’t want to take any chances for light bleed and have closed off my vent flaps. I went out and bought two 4”x6’ long flexible ducting and have fed one into the bottom of the tent and one on the other side near the top so fresh air can still get i, minus the light. Also stretched some nylon over the ends just in case little buggers wanted to try and get into my grow. Once was already enough Day 70 Gawd it’s like Xmas right now for me. The flowering starts tomorrow and I have started to remove some fan leaves for better light penetration to get me some good big juicy buds to grow.

DAY 71 It Has Begun!!! Day 72 and they have had their first watering with my Green Planet nutrients. Going half the recommended amount for the first few weeks cause that is what I was advised to do. Black Domina grew almost 4 inches overnight alone. So this should be a blast to watch over the coming months. Day 73 and WOWZERS!!! I thought some grew big yesterday but today is whole other story. All are growing nicely height wise and almost evenly too. Cookie Monster leads the way at 21” tall now. Plus the smell is strong and pungent. Thank god I invested in a carbon filter or everyone in the neighbourhood would know what I’m up too. In 7 days that won’t matter anyways. . . minus the extra 4 plants I’m growing Day 74 small growth and smell wasn’t as strong this morning. Guess it was so pungent yesterday because of that explosive growth. Humidity is really high and am researching on what dehumidifier to invest in. Day 75 not too much growth upwards but the did seem to grow a bit bushier. Soil still seems moist and will probably give them a watering tomorrow. At least my RH is down from 83% to 45%, but the weather is back to the usual cool fall temps and not mid summer weather. Day 76 and another watering. I might of let them go a day too long as you can see some of my leaves were very droopy this morning and humidity was still at 42%. Most of the droop is from where the light isn’t getting to. So I was thinking of getting another Viparspectra to alleviate that problem, or going big and order the HLG 550 (expensive but can’t argue with the results and tend to think the way I will go) Day 77 and another nice growth spurt last night. Plus I am about to pull the purchase on a HLG 600H Quantum Board and give them all a nice light bath in the coming weeks.

Day 78 and not much to report. Seem a little bushier and Cookie Monster is nearing 28” Looks like they will need a watering tomorrow. Plus I placed an order in for a Danby Dehumidifier for the later stage in flowering. Still debating on spending a ton of money on that HLG 600H too Day 79 watering done today. Looking nice and bushy and rotated the back plants to get better light exposure to the other side. Although that will hopefully change in about 1-2 weeks as I made the purchase last night for the HLG 600H Quantum Board all assembled with fader knob too Day 80 some good growth out of Black Domina and nearing 26 inches now. Everyone else looking happy happy happy. Speaking of Happy. Happy Legalization Day my fellow Canadians Day 81 again some nice growth but Black Domina really exploded outwards and a few inches taller. Keep it up girls Day 82 Watering day but without nutrients. Cookie Monster just keeps growing, and added 4 inches overnight. Standing at 32” inches now. Black Domina grew some bit too but it’s getting wider as well as taller. Removed my moms lime bush so now it’s all mine for the growing Day 83 Not much different but the bud structures are really started to show :) Day 84 So yesterday was probably the last of individual pictures now that I have the tent setup now for SCROG. Going to be a bit harder to figure out who is who with that lovely sea of greenery there. Will eventually have to figure out where the Dehumidifier will go, but still a few weeks away.

Day 85 again I feel bad I won’t be able to do my regular daily individual pics of my plants. So group photos and close ups will be the best I can do. Cookie Monster at 35 1/2 inches now and that is looking like one giant cola when all is said and done. Still waiting on my HLG 600H shipping notice which should be anytime now. . . I hope Day 86 Watering day and now at full nutrients. They were thirsty today but I think it’s been 4 days since I last watered them. Should see a nice growth come tomorrow but more than likely on day 88. The smell though is very nice in the tent. Leaning in to water and just sensory overload with the yummy pungent smell. Day 87 Black Domina really sprouted branch wise and the branches look much thicker then they did a day ago. Small growth from everyone but I’m expecting things to really change come tomorrow. Day 88 Ah there’s that big change I was expecting. It is looking damn crowded in there now, and I can’t wait to see it grow some more Day 89 Just purchased some Green Planet Massive Bloom to add to my watering regime. Can go another day before I need to do so. Also got a jewelry magnifier to get a closer look at my buds as I get closer to finishing. Have the one picture to share but more will eventually be coming Day 90 and watering day. Now in my mixture is Green Planet Massive Bloom and Unsulphered Black Strap Molasses. Going with the usual 1.5 tsp per gallon. Let’s see if they do anything for my grow. Will see some changes on Monday if it’s anything like my past waterings Day 91 nothing big but the buds seem to bloom a bit more overnight. Again the big show should come tomorrow

Day 92 Plants seem to be done most of their stretching now, but the buds are really starting to pop. They also seem to be drinking more and will be ready for another drink tomorrow Day 93 and watering day. Dialed back the nutrients just a bit after noticing the tips of some leaves showing some burn markings. Plus some seeds came in today which I plan to use for my next grow. Some Fruity Pebbles and Rainbow Kush. Plus some from an order I just I just made with Seedsman Day 94 not much to report. Everyone looking good, well maybe my Cinderella 99. Leaves aren’t healthy looking but producing. Don’t think I can do too much this late into the grow and will hope for the best in the end. Day 95 again not much but the leaves are really starting to look frosty. Can’t complain about that. Day 96 another watering day, but I finally got my shipping notice finally for my HLG 600H Quantum Board. Let’s see how fast they can get it too me from Austin, Texas Day 97 and the dehumidifier is up and running, but it has upped my temps back into the mid 80’s Setting my RH to 40% and in the final weeks I will lower it to 35% It is warming up the tent a little but I upped my fan to the next level to keep it cooler hopefully. Got another update for my lights and they are to be here for this Monday :-D Day 98 Well the dehumidifier works like a charm. It was already full when I checked on my gals this morning, and RH was at 40% as programmed. Sadly I also removed it from the tent today as well. It was just way too hot in there with it on. It was 88.6F in there before I removed it, and 79F afterwards. I still have it running but on the outside of the tent still set to 40%. Can’t wait for tomorrow

Day 99 and another watering day. Tried holding off on my pics but it’s almost nighttime for the girls and had to do my daily update. As my Quantum Board is on the road and should be here anytime now. Ok it arrived and was able to get some pics in just before they turned off on me for its dark period of the 12/12. They are pretty fucking awesome and bright as hell Day 100. Wow a hundred days already. Anyways, it’s been a full day under the new Quantum Board lighting and they are looking HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY! I’m saying it already, if you have the money. Buy These Lights and your plants will thank you for it. Black Domina just seems livelier and fuller today and we have many more days to go. Day 101 Turns out that my lights were only at half the power they could be at. Now they’re one scorch o mode. Makes the tent a little warm but I have a nearby window in my basement to let in the cooler air it needs. Buds are looking slightly bigger but look at Cookie Monster and it’s frosty leaves. YUM!!! Day 102 Watering day and they were thirsty today. New lights still making things a little warm in the tent, but thankfully cool air and a nearby window really helps bring that under control. So same ol’ same ol Day 103 Temps are back under control. Just open the side flap door and a little window breeze and we are back down to 75F. Humidity is staying nice and low, which is great. Buds seem to be getting slightly bigger and I wonder if the cooler air and new lights are to be thanked for that Day 104 again not much but once again they seem to look a little bigger bud wise. So keep it up girls Day 105 Boy were they looking thirsty this morning and you can see it in the wilted look of the leaves in today’s pictures. So all were watered, but just straight up tap water. The run off out of the pots were still showing signs of molasses from the watering on Thursday. Sadly noticed a couple of aphids this afternoon and had to spray everyone down with 1 Alcohol to 4 Water. Hopefully it doesn’t ruin my buds

Day 106 well I looked and didn’t see any buggers on my gals and hope it stays that way. Plus I can now see my GDP, CM, and SS CBD taking on a purple-ish tone in the leaves and near the buds :) Day 107 nothing new, and so nothing much to say Day 108 pots felt heavier than I expected. I thought it would of been another watering day but am going to hold off one more day. Other than that Steady as they Go. Well never mind on the watering. Came home, dry as a bone and leaves all looked droopy. Got everyone watered w. Nutrients and the lights went out just as I finished. Awe timing Day 109 and everyone looks fine after yesterday’s late watering. GDP really has a strong smell when up close. Also trimmed away some very young branches that won’t amount to anything in a few weeks. Removed a fair bit and maybe more energy will be focused on my main colas a bit more. Day 110 nothing really to say. Removed some more dying leafs and removed a few newish stems that are far from producing anything worth vaping. Focus more grow energy on my main colas Day 111 Watering day with formulas. GDP has a nice strong scent when up close. Gorilla Bomb colas are starting to come along nicely and are finally starting to get a frosty/purple look to them. That Cookie Monster colas is about 14 inches and hope it fattens up in the coming weeks to make it a true cookie “MONSTER” Day 112 Black Domina and Purple Bud is tarting to real good. Especially PB with the colas looking noticeably taller and starting to plump up. Thinking 3 maybe 4 weeks now until harvest, and I can’t wait to a) harvest and b) start my next grow.

Day 113 they are for sure thirstier in this later stage. Had to water w. Nutrients again today. Buds are looking bigger and hope they keep doing so. I removed more leaves again and hope that that with them exposed to the light more intense buds will be produce. Cross your fingers Day 114 early update as I will be at work for the day. All looking good and well that’s it Day 115 still looking good. No early watering this time, but the colas are started to stand/showing more prominently. Here’s hoping they all start to swell soon Day 116 I think the swell is starting. Buds looked a little bigger, greener but with no frostiness. Also defoliate a good amount of leaves again and can really see the colas stand on their own against each other. I’m almost there, I can feel it. . . but that could still just be the sap stuck on my fingers Day 117 watering day with my nutrients. GSC and GB are really starting to show signs of swelling soon. I sort of see hints with some of my other strains but won’t say so until I know so. Day 118 I feel like Dory from Finding Nemo. No short term memory loss, but instead of keep on swimming. I keep on defoliating, keep on defoliating, keep on defoliating Day 119 nothing much to say that hasn’t been said already. Probably need another watering tomorrow but that’s it

Day 120 they are looking fatter today and Girl Scout Cookies have really fatten up with a lot of green growth. Now to wait and see them frost over. Also turns out they needed a watering yesterday after all. I think I’m close to that time of flushing. So I think from here on out I will just be using water and my molasses for all watering Day 121 they look like they are fattening again. Dimmed my lights to about 70% to hopefully add a little stress to them to frost up. We will see Day 122 not much for a report. Still looking good. Few pots were pretty light but will hold off until tomorrow to water everyone again Day 123 GOD DAMN MITES AGAIN!!! Thank god someone on the 420forum noticed it. Thought something looked odd on my Gorilla Bomb and thought might of been mites. Took a look and sure enough I saw a couple. Not as bad as previous problem but still a pain in the ass to see so late into flowering. Alcohol and water solution used once again and also had to water them too. Just want them done with no more hiccups Day 124 and some sad news. The mites were too much and I know they came from my Cinderella 99 clone. It was in terrible shape and just wasn’t worth trying to keep healthy. It is what infested my tent with the mites and so I finally cut my loses and removed her. Still seeing a few on my other girls but will hopefully get across the finish line without too much more loses. Day 125 and did another spray down for mites. Sadly still seeing some on my girls but it looks like I will be able to harvest my Cookie Monster, Sensi Star, Black Domina and Purple Bud this coming week 9. Finally just about done my first go around. Tent will need to be scrubbed down good and tidy for round two Day 126 Well probably my last watering for most of my plants. Looks like Black Domina, Cookie Monster, Purple Bud, Granddaddy Purple and Sensi Star CBD can get the chop this week. Chances are I will be do the chop on Thursday, because it will be my next day off from work. Will also probably give them a wash before drying because of my mite problem I have been having.

Day 127 this finally looks like it might be my final flowering week for everyone but my Girl Scout Cookies, and maybe Gorilla Bomb. Everyone else is cloudy with a few amber trichomes on them. So I think tomorrow I will put them in 48hrs of darkness and harvest on Thursday or Friday. Day 130 Well Black Domina is done and got just over 12 ounces of wet product. Thought I could harvest a few other plants but they were so bushy I have a bunch of under developed buds that could use a little more time under the lights. So I harvest the tops of Cookie Monster, Purple Bud, Granddaddy Purple and Sensi Star. Got roughly 120-150g off each of them so far and will hopefully harvest them again in a week or so to complete my first grow Day 131 lights back on 12/12 cycle to finish everyone off. Drying in the same tent to avoid too much smell in the house. Harvested bud already feel about half their weight today. Probably need to water the plants tomorrow as well.

Well 60 days of flowering and finally my first full harvest. They looked great and had a few nice good size colas but also a bunch of popcorn buds too. Day 63 and we are now curing in the jars. Will add more to my report once dried and cured.

Harvested on Dec 6th and bottom half on Dec 9th. First part has dried and been jarred with roughly 46g total

Harvested on Dec 9th with roughly 275g on the scale. Thought they would of gotten a lot more frosty looking but my mite problem seems to of zapped some of that WOW factor. It still smelled nice and like everyone of my plants. Were wash in a 3 bucket system, and will update once they are dried and tried

Day 134 and this should be my final week for flowering. Thursday I will finish off my GDP, SS CBD, PB and finally chop my GSC. Almost there everyone and come January I will start my 2nd grow.

Took her down today. The foxtailing (believe what happen to her) was bad but I think will still produce something passable in the end. Will let everyone know in due time

Harvested this in 2 stages. Top and then bottom of the plant. It might not of produce as much as I was hoping but being a newbie I screwed up on a few things while growing. Mites stayed away from this strain and the smell proves it all. Easily my fav smelling of the 7 I harvested and can’t wait until its vapeable

Harvested this as well in 2 stages. Again I could of done better in my first attempt but it is a learning experience. They sure looked frosty as hell when I trimmed them and will report once I get my chance to vape some soon.

Broken record but harvested in 2 stages. Had one huge cola and lots of smaller colas and popcorn buds. Grew mostly for my mom to maybe make a CBD cream but will still give it a vaping when ready

Sadly a dud here. This was a clone I received and flourished for the first month or 2 and then the mites showed their ugly faces and ruined this and almost my entire tent of plants. Thankfully I was able to save everyone else but they suffered for it. My next grow I will be doing this strain from seed.
