OGKush• Genetics Chem Dawg x Lemon Thai Paki Kush THC 14-22% Saturday morning vape session smoke was diesely harsh, gave me dry eyes and mouth. Flavor profile was supposed to be fresh and sweet, with a notable candy taste. We did not taste that. Maybe due to harvesting too soon. Anyway we had some laughs over breakfast talk. We went out and about for errands, had lunch at our favorite restaurant. I ate more than i usually do and a few hours later, a bit sleepy 😴. So munchies yes and more indica dominant than indicated but nicely relaxing and uplifting and is perfect for winding down for the evening.

Nutrients
These are good fertilizers; however, I was growing autoflower strains and by following the feeding directions, I over fed all of my ladies. In future grows, fertilizers will be reduced to 1/4 of the recommended dosages. Too much heat stress from the lights caused cal-mag deficiency.
I used these as a soil amendment in the original planting.
Lights
This light brand was a dual switch -veg and flower- I used both lights on throughout the grow. Theses lights did not have a controller for dimming the intensity. early in the grow, I controlled the intensity by raising the lights. Once the lights were as high as they could go, and the plants had their final stretch, the plants were within 10 inches and exposed to too much light and heat.

OG Kush, aka Olga was easy to grow. She was the tallest at 31 inches and had strong stems to support her buds. However, being the tallest, she suffered the most heat stress and was the first to show cal-mag deficiency. Og Kush aka Olga, was my first diary, initially planned to combine all my plants in one until I found out that for contests, you have to have single strain. So I jumped in feet first and ran 3 separate diaries. This was a bit much for me. I am totally inexperienced on growing cannabis, much less track the grow with all the nuances on an unfamiliar platform. I really intended to enter Olga in the Newbie contest, but I woke up one morning and Bam, I was an apprentice. With 3 failed germinations, 3 new diaries and no harvest surely was not deserving at that time. Because I'm running 3 diaries, when growmies visited, they checked out all of them and my likes increased significantly. 3 diaries 15 weeks,=45. easy to see the math. So here I am. First, I want to thank Andrew @LegacyMarketFarms for introducing himself to me my first week here. He invited me to his tutorial videos on Youtube. Every Sunday I watched one or two weeks at a time while I folded the laundry. I watched some over and over, taking notes along the way finding tips for that weeks progress. While I could understand many of the concepts, I never quite achieved them. I struggled with VPD in many forms: from not enough humidity during Veg to too much RH during flower. It's a world turned upside down. I was happy when he was recognized as a Guru 👏. Congrats again Andrew. Secondly, Warm thanks to @Ex_Alchemist and @StarLorr for helping me with platform technology problems. After emails to GD went unanswered, they offered suggestions for me to try and fix. When I kept getting blocked, they listened to me express my frustrations and anxiety this was giving me. They kept encouraging me to hang in there. I was ready to quit but I know I need to be here. My apologies to all that got blocked for 7 hours because you visited my diaries. Thanks for sticking around anyway. And my apologies to those that I did not chat with following a visit or comment because I was blocked. It is a two-way street. A big thanks to @m0use. Your comment on Premium Cultivars, made my light bulb click on for what was causing my continued 7 hour punishments. I had links in my diary comments to other cannabis sites, electroculture, recipe sites. etc. Since I've cleaned up the links, I haven't been blocked😊👏. Thanks to all the growmies that responded to my grow questions. Particularly my medical question as that is why I'm here. You shared with me your personal journeys and health issues and what works for you and what might be good strains for me to start with. I won't name names; you know who you are. My prayers 🙏 and blessings to each of you For all of my questions, I had a difficult time choosing the best answer. Know that I have learned from al of you. I'm here to learn to grow and have fun doing it. I entered some contests but no luck. My curiosity got the better of me and I went looking at the champions DreamIt @Ju_Bps, @gottagrowsometime, @love_2_grow, @ZombieKushAddicted and so many more diaries with contest wins. I saw beautiful plants, perfectly grown, but also fun presentations using technology. There's that word again. My extra special thanks 😘 to @DreamIt who has spent hours tutoring me in video technology. How to make a video, add music and add an avatar. I have a few short videos but while the music i selected was perfect for the theme, the music has copyrights and doesn't upload. I'll keep trying. In closing this diary OG Kush (Olga) and grow cycle with Purple Chill (Penny) and Gorilla Glue (Gigi). My thanks go out to all of you for assisting on those diaries as well. My sincere thanks to all that visited, liked, commented and/ or followed me. Happy growing and have fun.

High Susan, you want to prevent root bounding inside the pot for that reason you want a type of pot that breathes to air prune the roots. This will not only prevent root bounding but also stimulates the plant to shoot more roots inside the pot. I use air pots and smart pots and I personally prefer smart pots above air pots. The roots grow through the fabric and when finished a grow the roots look thicker and more developed than all the other pots that I've tried included the air pots. But there are many reasons how large a plant can grow that includes the size of the pot and your pots are really big and that is perfect for the amount of plants and the size of your grow space. I prefer more plants in smaller pots to keep them small and create a SOG instead of a few larger plants. In my opinion smaller plants in large amounts are easier to manage and when you lose some on the way it doesn't really decrease the yield. So that was just the pot and that the size of the pot can control how large a plant can grow. But for a large harvest you want to give them enough light, the right amount and type of nutrition's during the whole grow and a lot of love 😘

Should I use a training technique on any of my autos or just get a successful grow to harvest for my first grow? If so when should I do this? Are there any stress techniques that should not be used on autos?

Don't top or "fim" autos and try and avoid (unnecessary) defoliation. Also, never, ever grow at 24/0! A bit of low stress training like bending or directing branches is all good and fairly easy to master. Just leaving them alone to do their own thing is also completely acceptable. The only person you need to please is yourself, not internet warriors! You can start bending your plants when they have 5 nodes or so, training too early can stress them and it really is never too late to start LST while ever the plants are still in veg. Training branches is just a matter of waitng for them to be long enough for training! For your first grow I would suggest concentrating on watering, feeding, lighting (18/6) and general growing practices and once you have a bit more of an understanding of these things, try more "advanced" methods on your next grows perhaps.

Og kush auto at 27 days is 9 inches. As I increased water, the soil has settled in the pot lower than when I planted so so most of her 4 inches is below the top of the pot. (Mental note: wet and fill soil prior to planting). Any comments or advice?

Not much you can do here... you can't add in 4" more soil. What you CAN do is to treat the growth below the lip of the pot as if it was below a scrog net and lollipop it (trim off all leaves/small branches) ... they're not going to get appreciable amount of light as her canopy is going to completely cover it and so will produce popcorn buds at best... Not the end of the world! Good luck!

TDS pens measure EC and convert to ppm using a simple factor. Depending on the brand of the equipment it may convert to different PPM numbres... So, use EC for the least possible miscommunication. Most products in north america are on the "500" scale.. so 1.5 EC is 750ppm on those brands, but may be different with another brand. Whne irrigating or fertilizing, always ensure entire pot gets wet... usually a minor amount of runoff is necessary, but if you pay attention over time and consistently water at same pot-weight, you can dial it in pretty damn well. soil ec... slurry? slurries and runoff is not a perfect indicator of the substrate... it can be useful info to track.. make sure you measure at same points of runoff or use same volume of soil and same volume of water of a known pH before you mix it up and measure. it'll always be a bit off from what the soil actually is, but over time you will learn normal range and how to react if it exits that happy zone. 1.3-1.5 is what hydro/soilless typically uses. (slight increase between irrigation in soilless with a little evaporation occuring) In soil you likely see it spike higher then drop back down as you alternate in some patter with water and fertilized water.. whatever that pattern may be.. every other? every third? "on demand" will typically work out better so, more fertigations with slightly lower concetrations are probably better than gassing it one time, then feeding water for a couple gos. and that's where your testing over time can help you dial it in... you want to find a dose and frequency that maintains a certain aamount of nutes... neither dropping or rising over time. it may need to be higher in soil with soil nutes... if oyu have to rely on bacteria fixating or chelating molecules in order for the plant to uptake them and use them, even though that stuff cannot fit into roots in original form, it still increases conductivity of the liquid it is dissolved into.... so yu get higher EC but as far as what enters the plant is lower. (otherwise it's evaporation-caused spike or simply feeding too high of one.)

I like my 2x4 tent. It works great for me. bigger tent = more plants, that's about it, note that with bigger tents you need bigger equipment as well. think lights, ventilation, fans, nutrients, pots, exct. I don't think I will upgrade past a 2x4, maybe a 3x5 at one point. I like the rectangle shape vs square. It works well with my lights. Some lights are designed for a square tent vs rectangle though. Max plants in a tent is estimated 1 plant per square foot with aorund 100w of light. If you got a 2x2 and a 200W light you can grow 2 good plants in there. Or one really big one. I have grown 3 plants in a smaller tent under 100w before, it worked well, they did not get as big as they could have if they had more light/room but I still loved every bit of it. Good Luck!

Bio Canna make "Bio-Vega" and "Bio-Flores". B.A.C. make "Organic Grow" and Organic Bloom". All these are complete fertilizers with one bottle for veg and one bottle for flowering and both lines can be used for hydro or soil cultivation. I have used both these lines for years and can recommend them highly. Generally when growing in soil, fertilizers will need to be started somewhere between week 4 and week 8, depending on the quality and nutrition levels of the soil to begin with. Generally starting with half strength nutrients is the safest way to gauge how your plants react.......it is far easier to give extra if needed, but very hard to rescue over fed plants.

As for the stems I would say like genetics I'm running LA confidential from Herbies seeds and I have purple stocks and leaves in flower...if it's not red I wouldn't to much you could move the light a smidgen or change the direction of the fan which could be the issue as well check your VPD and DLI as the more parameters you can dial in the better...Check out tent buddy great app PPFD calculator and DLI plus has VPD chart calculator as well...Good luck they look nice

Calcium and magnesium deficiency......simple to fix, add a cal/mag supplement to your fertilizer line up! Might be a bit late to affect a cure, but it should stop it from getting worse. Pity you went so hard on the defoliation, those buds were relying on the leaves you removed to make the energy the buds need to grow to their biggest size. Over fed too btw...........autos can usually get by just fine on half strength nutrients. Remember too, in soil it is a schedule of plain water/plain water/feed/plain water/plain water/feed.........

Great effort on raising the humidity! Love it, I always recommend people who do not have humidifiers to put a 5 gallon bucket in the tent. The towel idea is great too! I will have to utilize that when helping others who do not have humidifiers as well. Great work keep it up! VPD dialed in early on & through the entire life cycle means no missed days of growth & very little chance of seed in your flower at the end.

They look happy after their haircut! Great job :) With each new defoliation we get more confident and understand more about what to remove and what to leave behind. Keep up the great work
LegacyMarketFarm

@Natrona, It is usually a 12hr downtime if you clear the room out of any debris. So yeah you will notice a slight stunt for a day but it is why its best to schedule the defoliations all at once. Our timings are usually end of week 3 VEG start of week 1 flower, Then final one is day 20 of flower as after that the plant will not re-grow any new fan leafs. You can help them through the stunt if you pre-feed some B-Vital like we teach in our tutorial series. It is great for preparing the plant to take any stresses and recover quicker from it. Medione is also a great addition to help them along with a strong immune system

@LegacyMarketFarm, I didn't trim my other 2 as Purple Chill hasn't really stretched yet an Gorilla Glue is compact at 7 inches. So are they going to slow down for a couple days?
LegacyMarketFarm
LegacyMarketFarm
@Natrona, Not at all! You could have taken even more, But it is always best to air on the side of caution and start slow. Your confidence each time will grow with each defoliation & you will try to be a little more aggressive each time. We never want to be plucking leafs off day by day. We only do scheduled defoliations. This is because whenever a plant is damaged, Cannabis or otherwise they release a " Scream " or a pheromone if you will that alert other plants & its self to shut down growth for upward of 24hrs as a defense mechanism to prevent new growth from being damaged or destroyed. It is also very important for this reason to remove all leaf debris or plant debris from the area as soon as you are done.

Nice diary. Gosh, I'd love 80 for my tent temp. Mine gets to 98. Have to lower by light by a 1/3rd and up the exhaust to 3%. And brings it back down to 33-35c. I've added co2. The results are amazing. Autos are 14 days & usually they'd be on their 4th. Cut seedling growth down from flipping to veg from 9 'the earliest' to 14 'the longest' days to all seedlings flipping to veg as early as from 5-7 days across the board. Really nice grow. Your diaries are really indepeth. You'd a good mentor.
