[NEW ~ 11.1.18I just started nutes at low doses to ease these girls in without shocking em (hopefully). I have to be careful and monitor these ladies to see how they respond. They look good so far and handled their transition to flower well. I'll update ya guys if something goes wrong, much love!
Hola los amigos! Hello my friends! I'm back with week 11's (day 71) diary. Today I decided to make a longer video, which I left out a few things because I didn't want to make the video another 2-3 minutes longer :) So at the and of my weekly comment I'll mention what I didn't in the video, Thanks for checking out one my diaries, if you notice anything I'm missing let me know, I'd really appreciate it 😅
~ Update day 71 ~
First on the list is the overall growth of these girls, I’m astounded. I’m very happy that I made the decision to use Grower Choice Seeds, even though there is a issue with my CBD Blueberry I tried some of the trimmed buds and I’ll tell you what, those buds were way immature.. but the effect was incredibly pleasant and perfect for ending a hard days work, wow I can’t wait to harvest the mother! I’ll definitely grow more CBD Blueberry on my next rotation. Still I’m wondering what could have happened to cause the CBD to bud and not the others… Oh well, It’s a good learning experience :) Now I’ll get into the individual progress notes for this week, enjoy <3
~ Individual Progress Notes ~
[Purple Urkle #1]
Height: 14.6"
Tops: 16
Notes: I’m very happy to see this girl finally get a bit bushier. Having a very similar structure to her sister her genes are nowhere near as aggressive. Still I’m curious what pheno this girl is… Only time will tell.
[Purple Urkle #2]
Height: 15.5"
Tops: 16
Notes: This Twister Sister is insane! I have to mention her clones here. I kid you not this girl is aggressive and my best grower. All her clones are massive compared to the others. I’m keeping this girl, I might even breed her with a Thai Landrace just to see what happens ;)
[CBD Blueberry]
Height: 18"
Tops: 8
Notes: This girl is confused, poor thing :( I got her to reveg, not sure how but it happened. If you look closely at the leaves you can see the weird deformed that are a classic sign of reveging. The growth rate has increased a lot! She was my smallest plant and now she’s mt tallest, I need to do some HST or topping, don’t want her towering over the others. Now I have a question, do any of you guys know if it’s bad to reveg feminized plants? I heard a rumor that it’s not recommended but I’d like to ask my fellow growers here on GD.
[Mazar]
Height: 18"
Tops: 16
Notes: Now this is a proper bush, a beautiful round full structure, these genetic look amazing, can’t wait to see what she matures into. I’m glad I’m stopping at 16 tops because this girl would take up the entire 4 x 4 tent if I let her, big girl :)
[Super Silver Haze]
Height: 15.3"
Tops: 16
Notes: She’s now one of my smallest girls, though her structure and canopy is solid. She’s loving the net, let’s her breathe a bit more. I have high hope for this one, much love for Arjan and any of his creations.
[White Widow]
Height: 18"
Tops: 16
Notes: My all time favorite! Tanya has bluish green leaves that have a platinum sheen to em. I really like the colors, I wonder how white this girl will get, If you guys have any suggestions to make WW or any strain extra frosty let me know <3
~ Final Thoughts ~
I made it to flowering! Woop! Now it’s time for the hard part, the budz :D This has been a stressful, yet oddly relaxing (more like cathartic) and rewarding experience, I’m slowly
introducing nutes every other watering. The next nute mix will be when I start week 12 (flowering) I will and some flower fuel to help boost the growth of phat buds. I’ll also add
molasses and honey for carbohydrates and sweetness. The expected harvest date is around December 17th so stick around ya! See you guys next week! :)
~ Honorable Mentions ~
A big thank you to everyone who has been supporting me through this grow! I have much love and respect for these people. All the advice, tips, suggestions, and of course all the good vibes and love from the comments, much love Meus <3
Stinkfox, Tazard, SpinnerGrow, Bulbi, ValhallasGarden, Floran, ODDTODD45, and bobo420! You guys are awesome! Thanks again for everything so far, My current success is because of all of ya!
Hello GD my Mazar is having weird patches of shiny stuff that look like snail trails (no snails) it doesn't rub off and I'm not finding the issue online. I'd appreciate any insight into this issue (:
I think that the beginning of a thrips infestation you can buy a spray for that in youre local gardenstore Just spray it on and 2 days later no more bugs and i still stays active in the plant about 3 weeks so if she has les than 3 weeks to go you cant use it cause it Will show in the taste of the buds afterwards
@iMeus, You’ve obviously got a knack for this. We’re happy to be there for questions. You’ve done all the heavy lifting! Keep up the good work. Thank you!
@Tazard, @Silky_smooth, @Quexos, I've updated the diary to include the vlog & notes for the week. I'm getting the pics up soon, thanks for the love guys :)
Plants look nice and healthy. Great genetics! Sorry things aren't going smoothly. You end up going through your stash quicker when your plants are having issues.😨😤😤😎
What about making individual cages for support? Instead of a giant SCRoG, you have 4-5 smaller ones. I wanted to do something similar on my first grow, but the tomato cages that I had were too big for my smart pot. I found out I didn't need them anyway. Stalks were plenty strong enough. One of the growers even has square fabric pots that have dowel stick holders sewn onto the outside.
I haven't gotten any mold on my canvas pots, but the outsides start to get hard water deposits. You could use risers to get the pots off the saucers. That way the canvas isn't soaking up any water that is runoff. Do you reuse your fabric pots? I thought about it, but they are cheap so I buy new ones.
@Quexos, I have a shop vac that I use after every watering to suck up all the extra fluids, works pretty good. I always buy new pots (if they're fabric). I'll do my best to keep this grow as healthy as I can :)
Much love
It looks like you are back on your feet. I hope you are feeling better. Gratz on your harvest. Now you get to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Despite your difficulties, you did a fine job with this grow. You learned a ton, which will make your next grows that much easier. You'll see.
@Quexos, I'm feeling better! Don't have any pain anymore and now I can do my regular chores without feeling like I'm tearing my abdomen open lol. As you mentioned I learned a lot and I can't wait for the next project :D
Thanks for the love Q!
Nice operation you have going! All of your plants look wonderful! I really hate what the plants look like when they've been mainlined. They look so sad right afterwards. You girls have really bounced back. Are you going to to top again to get more budsites, or are these going to be your mothers?
Are you running both lights now? You have a lot of plants going. I was thinking you might be using both at this point.
Finally, I'm really interested in your seeds. Ordering from Europe is sketchy at best. I've had one order seized and another searched. If I could find a good North American breeder, I'd sleep a lot better after placing a seed order.
Have you thought of saucers of beer for your mite problem? Bulbi's idea is great. Those ladybugs will gobble up those little critters, but ladybugs have a mind of their own. They might decide to beat it down the line at some point. Beer attracts the bugs, and then they can't escape and drown. Diatamaceous earth works well on the soil surface as well. It acts like shards of glass and cuts the little insects to pieces. It is truly a gruesome insect death. I've also seen a few growers use colored sticky strips. They come in different colors to attract different types of pests.
@Quexos, I'll hit up your four questions then I'l touch on the beer, lady bugs, etc.
First: When it comes to topping I have to top my Purple Urkle #1 since I don't have any clones of here whatsoever. So I'll most likely top my others, still debating.
Second: As for being mothers there is no doubt they're great mommies, but it's temporary, these will be flowered when I have established clones of all 5 mother plants.. I'm not gonna lie I'd love to keep these mothers but sadly I don't have the room :(
Third: Lighting, dude this new light is so bright my other light looks like a night light lol, Also this new 3000w takes up most of the lighting real estate, no need for more light. If anything I need more co2 :)
Four: Dude I wish I had my first SSH that I purchased from Growers Choice Seeds. In just three days of germ the SSH seeds had a taproot about 2 inches long! Talk about aggressive growers :) Still these genetics look good so far, I won't know for sure till the end of this grow.
Other Ideas: First to mention I use the stick strips, though they've only caught 2 white flies lol. That Diatomaceous Earth looks good, I'll check that out man 👍 As for beer, well I'm not a beer drinker (love mead, wine, whiskey, etc no beer. I'll give it a shot though :)
Well, that was a hell of a comment! Thank you very much for stopping by and shooting me your ideas 👊
Much love <3
Glad you are shuffling about! Bud video looked great! Those were some really nice colas that you grew.
If the grow didn't turn out the way you planned, you could turn the buds into edibles, and tinctures. You had a large yield. Time to experiment!
This was a really nice yield! 54 grams is very respectable for 1 plant. The buds look excellent. They are very sugary. I would be really happy with this grow.
Your buds look amazing my friend and I believe congratulations are in order. You put in the work and time over the last few months and it has given you some beautiful results. I wish you all the best in your next grow and I'm so happy for you that this grow has turned out as beautiful as it has. Cheers my friend and happy smoking!
