Day 36: Feed this morning but kind of switched out Bud Blood for Igniter. The Buds are growing.
My training skills are weak and I'm completely overwhelmed trying to even start defoliation. Kind of like an ok parent but don't care if your kids need a haircut and when you take em to the shop they cry when the barber combs to cut.
Besides that though my 1st grow is pretty epic. Looking @ what I've been doing and seeing them from seed to what I have now. I don't know the formula for life but maybe this gives me The Blueprint. (D.O.C & Jay-z like).
Observing and watching the light's and Temps. Trying to stay in that 85 degree 54% humidity range.
Shout out to Weedexpress for checking my grow. All Seeds germinated!!!
Day 37: Think I have been over-feeding my plants so fed them....lol yep just a solution of sensi-cal,Voodo, B-2, Superbud xfactor and mikes og tea......no more bud blood and gonna ride out with the igniter.
Woke up an hour b4 they did and snatched each one out the tent and defoliated. Each one I spent about 20 minutes on defoliating and getting rid of bottom layer. They looked a bit lollipopish and getting ready to cast this net. I have some huge branches and some of the buds are starting to look like the picture you see in the grows. I really am appreciating the work that it takes and the thought behind growing.
9ish: starting some training and pulled the branches down, tied and put some trainers of 2 of my plants. I got plans to train my GC's since they are stretching.
That canopy is pretty open so think gonna get good light inside canopy!
Thinking about my next feeding 2morrow, which usually equates to when I get off work. I'm gonna stay with my veg base and go again with Bud Blood. I like the way it made my buds kind of dazzle into sun burst buds. I'm pretty dialed into my veg mixture and am going to start mixing in a 5 gallon jug only to ensure that I have enough for 2 feeds. My plants are really devouring these nutrients and have had very little nutrition burn.
Trying to make sure that my root system is healthy so that I can get a decent yield to hold me over the winter. Of course with the winter comes the holiday season and what better gift to give
420 candy canes sprinkled with kief....these are a few of my favorite things!!!!!
When the leaves shake
When the Buds break
I'm feeling crank
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I just smoke.... my dank!!!!
Day 40: igniter definitely creates more bud blooms areas...my growth is so thick and the buds pretty big. Got a feeding lined up in the morning and probably gonna with heavy feeding and touch all my roots. Going heavy on igniter again.
My grow lights beneath the canopy is doing amazing work as the buds beneath
are also amazingly big.
Also spay with a mix of Grease and Green Goddess maybe twice a day to keep nutrition in the foliage.
Day 41 or 42 and possibly even 43:
Somewhere but I'm in my 2nd week of flower and working this week on Igniting my grow b4 going into OverDrive. Gave an honest feeding a day later than normal.
The Buds are popping and you can kind of see what the Bud Ignite is doing as far as the multiple bloom locations are a plenty.
Went with the net but took back down, want more height and not disturb the current situation but have a feeling will need it a bit later to help with these heavy bud limbs!
Day 47: So my babies have bigs buds and an issue. Defoliation day was ah coming and did I have to cut. Spent like 20 minutes on each plant cutting, ๐ญ 'n and manicuring. They are incredibly stout and
stretching.
Got a few more feeds b4 I flush so gonna stick with the Overdrive and Ignite.
Day 48: fed da girls and went with Bud Blood instead of Ignite.
Day 49: so I'm checking out my grow and for some reason I grabbed some water only....just felt like I've been so caught up in the nutrients forgetting basics. So since in the last 3 weeks gonna concentrate on budding and k
Defoliation.
My buds are definitely gonna be huge and ripe.
So getting closer to curing and got a bunch of huge mason jars @ TJ Max. For curing along with Bovida 65% packs.
As for a drying tent gonna go with hanging in paper bags.
Getting into curing mode so that when these are ready I can get my FF's potted and ๐ grow on.
I want to clone a few if these FF's 4sure for Christmas gifts and have plenty of holiday cheer to share.
@Weedseedsexpress
Thanks for the shipping and packaging. So far looking pretty good. Was a bit skeptical with the size of the GC's but germinated great.
Those buds popping up everywhere is a beautiful thing my friend! Looking very healthy! Dude I completely know what you mean feeling overwhelmed trying to train and defoliate, Ive watched so many different ways of doing it and its amazing how some make it look so effortless and natural. It most certainly is not lol. But I think you grow is going amazing man. Your knowledge, passion, and research really shows. As always, I enjoy looking forward to more of your updates man. Good luck on the finish brother! ๐
@Jsammy09, thanks for checking my grow. Training is a bit stressful and I've actually snapped a few branches with the tie downs. Just loosen the string and keep them as close as I can to the main stem. Honestly a don't think she has noticed yet and the nutrition seems like it's still getting to that branch so not really sweating it.
Been watching your grow and think it's awesome!!
Keep ah growing and stay dedicated bro!!
@SmokingDwarf420, Hey thanks for the compliment. I've been thinking about my whole marijuana journey and it has been a very long windy one.
I just feel like I'm at a point where I can really appreciate what this girl has done for me, Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory ish!!! I'm finally to
a point in my life(emptied the nest and kid's fledged nicely) so just really enjoying the calmness and thought's that go into growing. It really
is a game changer in my life. And the money saved, the secret recipes, the tonic's and tea's, the Volcano eruptions of freshly grown and cured
cannabis from my garden!!! I know exactly what I'm smoke'n!!!! This is the leaf of life!!!!
BRO! They are looking HEALTHY!!! They look like mine did right before that started to stretch and get even fatter! I always enjoy the reads brother, looking awesome man. Im pretty confident your Green Crack is gonna be just as good and more than likely better than what you have now! That one is on the wish list. Im gonna try some mephisto samsquanch OG for my next go. If you ever look at them the hook you up with more seeds than you buy, i bought 7, got 9, then got 7 free seeds of mango smile x grape crinkle. Look forward to more updates buddy!
@Jsammy09, so that was kind of the first one chopped.
Using that 1st 2 get my dry/cure procedure and dry time right.
That first pancake is always that one but but have the rest flushing...all but one.
Trying to get heavier buds so overdrive/ignite/Big budded it one more time.
Paperbag drying but initially folded my bag down. Was holding moisture and buds still and almost immediately fogged my jar, so went back to open bag for an extra day so they can go back in jar a bit dryer. Also using a bigger mason jar.(TJMax, huge mason jars on da cheap, already got a few with the smallest being 50oz paid $8!!!)
The other girls flushing through this week but definetly about to chop and hang.
Yeah Jsammy09 your like my Grow Bro and appreciate your comments ๐
Nice homie! Ill be following for sure as I grow. I see you like to do your research before hand as well lol. Good luck with the grow homie! Im excited to see your green crack!
Congrats to the harvest bro โ๏ธ๐๐ I also use the same black edition ๐ ...since last year since I bought it I almost don't use anything else now ๐ฅ
