Granddaddy Purple Bag Seed

This is my first ever grow! Cannabis just became legal for home cultivation in the state of Vermont for up to 4 immature plants and 2 mature plants on July 1, 2018. I have some seeds that I got out of a bag of "Grandaddy Purple" that I got from a buddy a few months back. I saved these seeds because I really enjoyed smoking the bud. The bud itself wasn't too purple but it had a very intense grape aroma and the high was very physical and had a heavy stone to it. It did a great job at stopping my anxiety in its tracks and putting me in a great mood as well as helping me sleep and just feel great. I dont currently have any lights or a tent but I plan on aquiring some over the time that I grow. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7/7/18- put 8 seeds under wet paper towel. 5 days later 7 of 8 seeds germinated and I planted in the ground. The next day some woodland critters had pulled them all out of the ground and munched on the cotyledons, I was able to save 4 of them and get them into 4 inch deep plastic dishes with some cheap organic gardening soil. Attempting to start outside by leaving outside during day and bringing inside at night.

Didn't take any pics this week. For most of this week I moved the 4 plants inside at night and when it was raining and then put them outside on the back porch in the day. Unfortunately my house gets very poor light and most of the day is in the shadows so they stretched horribly. Day after day I tried my best to get them into as much light as possible but it was hard given the conditions and I saw them stretch up to 5in tall. My girlfriends brother has a 4x4 tent that he doesn't want anymore so he is going to give that to me when I go home next time. Then hopefully I can acquire a light soon so I can get these babies in the tent and save them from stretching too much.

What a twist of fate! I was telling a coworker about my problems with lack of light and he said that he has 2 480w MarsHydro LED lights under his bed that are just taking up space. He is going to loan them to me for me to use until he has some more space to grow his own! This is amazing because I really cant afford the lighting that i need for these right now and this will at least help me get started. I took 1 light and hung it from the ceiling of the basement. The plants had stretched significantly with lack of light for past 2 weeks. After putting them under the lights I very quickly began to notice the leaves growing more quickly and plants were responding nicely to the increase of light. A buddy mentioned to me that I would probably get a better result if I brought them closer to the lights, since I don't have any light hangers I had to get creative so I used a small cooler to get them within 16in of the light and saw changes in growth almost overnight. It was pretty obvious to me that they had been really starved for light by how fast they grew once I got them into an adequate amount of light. I was able to get the tent over the weekend but of course I left the corner pieces that allow the horizontal and vertical poles to meet so I am unable to set the tent up until I get those, hopefully in the next week someone can bring them to me. I imagine that when I get that set up I will see them get even happier. The plants have been through an enormous amount of stress so far in their short lives so Im really hoping that I can still get them to grow healthy and happy. We will see how the next few weeks go.

At the end of last week I ordered some ratchet strap light hangers and a hygrometer so that I can hang my light in the tent when I get the corner pieces and begin to monitoring the environment as the plants get used to being in the tent. My gf's mom brought the corner pieces up to me this weekend so now I can get my tent all set up once I get the light hangers. Got my light hangers and hygrometer in the mail on Monday so I was able to get the tent fully set up and the plants into it. Plant #4 was beginning to dry and shrivel up so i removed it from the setup, leaving me with 3 plants. The added light from the reflective surfaces was great for the plants, as well as being in their own designated environment. They are growing really quickly now compared to how fast they were growing without the light. Ive been having trouble with my soil being too muddy and holding too much water. It definitely is cheap soil and not exactly what they need to be in so I am going to start looking looking into some other soil options. Ive definitely been overwatering too so I am going to water less and try to let the soil dry out more between waterings. Humidity is still too high but that is normal for the climate in VT during the late summer. Looking forward to fall and lower humidity levels.

Into the second full week in the tent, noticing more leaf sets beginning to form, but they aren't growing quite as quickly as I expected them to. I imagine that its from all the stress as seedlings and Im starting to wonder if they will be a little stunted but Im planning on letting them veg for a little extra time so that they will be big and healthy plants in flower. I am still battling humidity issues humidity wont drop below 68% and has been as high as 80% at times. I don't have enough extra money to go and buy a dehumidifier so they are just going to have to deal with it, Im wondering if the high humidity is causing the slow growth rate but I will learn more about that as I continue this grow. I began to notice what I thought looked like nutrient deficiency so I fed with FFGrowBig diluted so that it wouldn't damage the plants but so that they can have a little nutrient. Looking back on this I think that my soil was actually too hot for the babies and that my babies were getting too much nutrient not too little. Other than all that the plants have been growing well and I'm continuing to see new growth. I am starting to be able to see some single roots along the bottom and sides of the planters, I'm planning to purchase new soil and buckets to transplant into soon.

This weekend I got some soil and some buckets so that I can transplant the babies into some new homes. I decided on some 4.5 gallon mop pales from Home Depot. Then I went down to the local grow shop and got talking with the people there about what soil I could get that would be enough for the plants in the buckets I'm using but not cost me an arm and a leg. We landed on Happy Frog organic soil; $20 for 2.5 cuft which was more than enough and fit right into my budget. When I got home I drilled holes all around the buckets including lots of holes in the bottom for drainage and to assist with air flow to the soil and root zone. When mixing the soil I thoroughly mixed it 4-1 with perlite to help with aeration and water retention. Transplanted into the larger buckets, making sure to burry the stretched stems so that only about 3 inches were sticking out. Watered thoroughly and placed in the tent, 16 inches under the light. Im excited to see how this new home will help them grow! I had imagined that they would be about twice the size they are by now, initially I had imagined that I might be putting them into flower around now but looking at the size and growth rate of my plants and the fact that I am not planning on topping this time around I think they neeed at least another month if not more before they are going to be ready to flip into flower.

Well... I would say that transplanting them into bigger containers was a great call, since doing that their growth rate has probably doubled and I am seeing them start to move out of the late seedling stage and into the early vegetation stage. Im hoping that they start to grow quickly because they are still pretty small for their age but you cant force it to grow faster than it wants to. The humidity is still super high and I think that they are starting to show signs of humidity stress because the leaves are getting kind of shiny and are wilting a little, they also look like they are rotting a little on a few leaves. I cant be sure that this is the issue since its my first grow but based on how high the humidity is I think its a safe call, I am going to open some more of the vents on my tent to let in some more air and I am going to get ready to hook up a ventilation fan. So far I haven't had any ventilation other than a fan inside and the door of the tent open. When I got the tent he also gave me a venting fan and a speed controller for ventilation. My thoughts are that If I hook up a way to suck the humidity out of the tent that I might be able to decrease the humidity level. I don't have a carbon filter yet or any ducting so I will need to get those before I can set this up, hopefully over the next couple weeks I can get this set up.

The plants are continuing to grow really strong! Most of them have some leaves that have reached the edges of the buckets! I wanted to take a good look at the pre flowers to help determine if they were males or females so that I could weed out any potential males and help leave as much tent space as possible for the females. Two of the looked the same and one of them looked different than the others. The pictures above are of the one that looked different, and Im thinking that it might be a a male since it looks so different but I'm not seeing any hairs coming out of the others yet so until I see that I cant be positive about the sex. I have started noticing these small white mites crawling around on top of the soil, around the edges of the bucket, and crawling up the stalk onto the leaves. I cant tell if they are eating the plants or not but I dont like seeing them .. They are pretty small but I can see them with the naked eye so I used the macro lense to get some up close pictures. Ive never seen spider mites before so I think thats what they are. I am going to be ordering some insecticidal neem off of amazon and I will be using that for the next couple of weeks until I see them going away.

Took some more pics of the internodes of the different plants. Im still seeing a significant difference in the shape of the small organ I'm seeing between two of the plants and the other. Still no hairs from any of them so i want to wait a little longer before taking any of them out of the tent just to be sure I don't kill a girl. Im using AG Triple Action Neem Oil to treat my "spider mites" and Ive been spraying them every 4 days.I have a sprayer bottle that I am using to apply the neem but its only a hand sprayer and it makes it difficult to apply the neem over the whole plant including undersides so Im having to spray them with more than I would like and the leaves seem heavy and weighed down.. I am planning on getting a pump sprayer with a wand so that I can keep applying neem as evenly and thoroughly as possible without giving them too much. I haven't seen any change in the mites except for them being slowed down a little. Immediately after applying neem first thing in the morning they seem incapacitated but by the end of the day they are back in full force, not sure if I'm using the wrong product for this or if they aren't spider mites but I am going to keep treating them and see if maybe I just need to be more diligent about applying neem.

Feeling like an idiot this week... After almost 3 weeks of being unable to kill these damn "spider mites" I started doing more research into what I was looking at. Well 3 days of searching through grasscity forums, reddit subs, and youtube videos I stumbled onto some info about a mite called "Hypoaspis Miles". Apparently this is actually considered a beneficial predatory mite that feeds on fungus gnats and their larvae.

This is the technical beginning of my growdiary, previous to this I was using an app called Jane and I was using a scientific notebook to to record notes and information about the grow, I then transcribed those into this diary including my own comments looking back on it. From here on out I will be commenting and adding pictures as I take them so it should get quite a bit more detailed. which wasnt growing strong, used a clip on macro lens to examine the pre flowers while they are in veg, my largest plant is pretty clearly a boy, and my smaller two both seem to be showing signs of being girls! 2/3 girls isn't too bad even though its sad to see my biggest one go. Luckily Ive got a buddy who is going to take him to breed with :)

Finally got a light timer this week so I put them into a 18/6 light cycle, they seem to be happy. The girls hadn't been drinking much water but this week they started really drinking again so I decided to hit them with some more FF Big Bloom at about 75% strength. Going to try pulling some clones off of the big girls this weekend so I can keep these genetics for future grows. The male is still shunned to the corner, getting him out of there next weekend. After that happens Im going to start prepping the girls and the tent to go into flower and im hoping that by mid October they will be big enough to pop into flower. I really need to find a way to remove the humidity, hoping that the cooler weather will help but if not I will either invest in a dehumidifier or I will move the whole tent to a different environment to achieve that goal but for now we will keep fighting the good fight.-

9/29- Decided to shut the lights off this morning to see what they looked like without the purple lights. Started to notice some signs of some definite nutrient deficiency but not totally sure what Im missing, thinking maybe some magnesium and maybe iron but again not totally sure so Ill have to do some research. Going to be adding more pics with the light off from here on out to better gauge the health of the girls.** 10/01 was gone over the weekend, the girls are looking strong. #3 is 20.5in tall at this point and #1 is 16.5in tall. #2 turned out to be a male and is 22 in tall. he seems to have plateaued around that height and has been filling out quickly. I'm curious to see if my girls will respond the same way when getting to that height. Humidity has been between 63% and 70% and temp has been between 68F and 70F. light is 17in from #3 and 21.5in from #1 (will move up soon but trying to allow #1 to have some more intense light to keep it growing up to meet #3, will likely be smaller but I'd like to get the canopy's closer to the same height so I'm hoping that some light training my help)

10/09- Plants have been looking alright this week. They have been drinking a lot more and a lot faster so Ive been trying to adapt my watering schedule so that I am giving them water before the soil completely dries out. Woke up yesterday and the new growth was super yellow and the leaves seemed to be thin and wilted, I hit them with some FF Big Bloom, some Roots Organics Kelp Extract, and some MicrobeLife Photosynthesis plus to try to provide them with nutrients they have been missing. My cultivator buddy came later in the day and took the male out for me (gonna use him for a little breeding project). He's been growing for years now and gave me some pointers on what I should and shouldn't defoliate and helped me gauge about how much longer I had before putting them into flower. He recommended putting them into flower soon since they are going to continue to grow throughout flower (Something that had slipped my mind, that the plants weren't going to just stay this size and get buds on them) Im figuring that Ill give them about two more weeks to let them get bushier before flipping them. Planning to flip to 12/12 on 10/25 if all goes as planned since that is 3 months from putting them into the tent as babies. He also recommended doing some major defoliation of the inner growth and lower growth on branches, as well as pulling the big fan leaves that were blocking light from reaching the inside of the plants and the bud sites. I did that and now the plants are looking a little skeleton like but I think that over the next couple weeks I will see them bush out quite a bit. Things are looking empty without the boi so hopefully the next couple weeks go well! _____________________________________________________________________________________ 10/11- Took a look at the girls this morning, they are doing great! #3 is going crazy since defoliation and every branch has turned into an arm reaching out of the plant. She has started to bush up really nice too. #1 is still looking nice but isn't growing quite as fast as the other one. She is a lot bushier and the nodes were more consistently tight together than the other. Still growing strong but she is still much smaller than #3 as far as width goes. #1 is now 20in tall and 17in from the light, #3 is now 24in tall and about 12in from the light. Temp has been between 67F and 71F. My hygrometer says humidity is still between 68% and 80%, I'm starting to wonder if its where i am putting my meter since I am putting it on the edge of the bucket and that is down low on the plat where it gets less air flow. Going to try to hang it or use the magnet to stick it to a pole and get some more measurements from other parts of the tent to get an average RH level.

10/13- Did some more defoliation and got the girls into position. I have been moving them around a lot to try to let the light penetrate the canopy more but since I defoliated Im noticing that they don't seem to need it anymore, I actually think I am negatively impacting them by moving them so much because the branches aren't able to grow in one specific direction and reach up to the light. Were about 14 days from going to flower now so I am going to leave them this way and hit them with some more N to push growth as much as possible. Excited to learn more abut them and the process as we go into flower. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/19- Checked on them again this morning to see how leaving them in place has been working, and i was blown away by the growth that has happened. #3 has become a massive bush and the branches are starting to really reach upward for the light. #1 is still fairly short but is getting a lot thicker and bushier. Definitely learned that moving them around a bunch is more counterproductive than I thought it would be but thats how your learn I guess. #3 is now 26in tall and takes up a good 1/4 of the tent space, #1 is now 22in tall and takes up much less space. They look really ready for flower so I am going to hit them with another heavy helping of N this week so that they can continue to grow strong for the last week of veg. Next Saturday we go into a 12/12 cycle!

10/21- Looking stronger and stronger everyday! Today when I checked on them they looked droopy and when I picked them up they were extremely light so I gave them a healthy watering with a good dose of FF Grow Big to pump up growth for this last week before flower. Pulled a couple more fan leaves to allow more light penetration but I think that will be the last defoliation I do for a while so that they still have enough leaves to get energy for bud production. Checked on them later in the day and they had perked right up and look happy and healthy except for a little yellowing on #3's newer growth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/22- WOW yesterday it snowed a little bit here in VT, nothing on the ground but a few flurries. Today when I checked on the girls the humidity was at 53%!!!! All summer long I have been fighting with the humidity in my basement and these girls have put up with 3 months of 65%- 80% humidity and have continued to grow great, maybe a little slow but still they grew. Knowing I was putting them into flower next week Ive been stressing about PM and Bud rot since the humidity was so high and I cant really afford a dehumidifier for my tent but now Im stress free! Fingers crossed it stays like this!! Since feeding them yesterday they look really happy, I noticed that #1 is starting to really grow out its lower branches much more rapidly than it has been previously, Im pumped because she seems to be growing really nicely and Ive been struggling with her growing a lot slower than the other one. Interested to see if this lower humidity has anything to do with it and how they respond in the coming weeks. 10/27 we go into a 12/12 light cycle. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/24- The clone is still alive and its day 3 since planting it so hopefully that is a sign that Im doing something right. To promote rooting I made sure at least 2 nodes were cut and exposed and then soaked them for a couple days in water making sure to change water every day. Then I filled a paper cup with left over soil, wet the soil, coated the stalk in fresh aloe (harvested from my own plant; I was told by a friend that it might work in place of rooting hormone) and then planted in the soil and covered with a plastic bag to hold in humidity; I mist lightly with a sprayer bottle 1-2 times per day. I will monitor its progress over the next couple days to see if it stays alive and thrives, Im hoping that this will take so i can give it to a friend and they can hold on to the genetics so that if I like it I can run it again for my next grow. The girls are looking amazing, #3 is now 27in tall and is 100% ready to go into flower she is massive and super bushy! If I had a separate tent for flower I would have put it in there already. #1 is now 22in tall and is bushing out really rapidly, I think that with another week of veg she would get to the same size as her sister but since the other one is really ready Im going to flip them Friday night as planned. They seemed to really respond to the added N so I am going to feed them one more time today or tomorrow with FFGrowBig but this will be the last feeding with this nute and then I will be moving to FFBigBloom for a while. Very excited to see what happens when I put these girls into flower and since this is my first experience growing and I have never seen the plant make the transition to growing buds before. Mostly interested in how the physiology of the plant is going to change as it pumps energy into growing buds, and how much it will stretch when it first goes into flower. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/25- Looking good as of this morning! The girls are really starting to drink some water so this morning I gave them another feeding with FFGrowBig, this is the first time that I fed them back to back without just plain water in between. They look like they can take it and since Im putting them into flower Friday (10/26) night this will be the last time I feed them with a high N fertilizer. Next time I water I am going to give them just straight water and then after that I will be feeding them with bloom nutrients specifically FFBigBloom. Hopefully this feeding doesn't burn them too much. The clone is starting to look a little droopy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10/26- The girls look strong and seem to be taking the added nutrient blast well, no burning yet. Excited that today is the last day of Veg. they have really taken off this week and have just gotten massive! I am having some second thoughts about waiting as long as I did in veg but you live and you learn. Going to try to find another crossbar for the tent so that I can put my light on an angle and maximize the amount of space the plants have by putting them in the tent from corner to corner instead of wall to wall. Ill have to see how much they stretch in flower. The clone is looking even droopier this morning, i think it might be too far away from the light so tonight I am going to rig up some way to get it closer to the light.

10/28 F1- Got home late friday night so I didnt set the timer for a 12/12 until last night making today the first official day of flower!!!!! Checked on the girls this morning and they were very dry again so I gave them an extra heavy watering of just water until it was pooling up in the drip trays, emptied the excess water out of the drip trays. Pulled a couple fan leaves off the top to help with light penetration. Im very excited to see what happens now. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 10/29 F2- Spent some time with the girls this morning its really incredible how much they have grown since I defoliated them 2 weeks ago, they have become massive bushes that have filled out again. I will definitely need to defoliate again but I want to wait until buds start to form so I know what I shouldn't pull and what I should. Next watering we begin the bloom nutrient and I figure at that point I will really start to see bud development and know better what leaves they will need for energy production and which leaves are just going to be a drain on energy. I also am waiting to see how my clone takes to the soil so that I know if I can cut any off the existing shoots to clone for my next round or if I need to get some rooting hormone and go about it that way for better success, im on a budget so if I can get this to work it would be ideal but I dont want to take all my cuttings and then have none of them root and lose these genetics. Right now he clone is looking really droopy but it still has some rigidity left in the leaves and its been a whole week in the soil now, I keep spraying it with water every day and making sure the soil stays moist so hopefully over the next week I will see it perk up and know that this is a success (knock on wood). Obviously no buds yet but I can definitely see the preflowers opening up more and showing some little pistils im guessing around the end of this week ill start to be able to see something the more closely resembles budding. Hopefully getting a new fan today so that I can have something taller and oscillating so we can get the air moving around the canopy more. I also need to devise a way to hangmy light on a different orientation so that it can better cover the plants canopy, I can really see why people use a method like topping and LST when growing indoors because it allows for your bud sites to get the best light saturatuion possible since the canopy ideally grows up to the same height. This first grow has already been an incredible learning experience and I am already planning my next one. Cant wait to see how this finishes up and how the next one goes now that I have some more practical knowledge of how the process works Thinking about running some feminised SweetTooth from Barney's and maybe a clone off of these girls for my next round but we will see if I like how these finish up. ______________________________________________________________________________________- 10/30- Went down after work today and my outtake fan was was off because the speed controller was turned down too far. The humidity in the room was outrageous! 89% humidity; enough to cause condensation to build up on the walls of the tent when I opened it. I immediately turned the fan up and was able to vent to humidity, I was surprised at how well they handled the humidity. Starting to see some stretching in flower but not much yet. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ 11/01- Wow lots of stretching so far from #3! These girls are really starting to show their genetics now, #1 is much smaller, has much tighter nodes and much wider leaf fingers than #3, #3 on the other hand has begun to stretch really far and is significantly bigger than #1. The internodes are still fairly tight but not as much so as #1. Since it was bag seed and I don't know what strain the paternal genetics were, Im not sure what kind of cross these girls are. At this point it looks like I'm going to have one (#3) representing the sativa side of the genetics and one (#1) that is representing the indica side of the genetics. Very excited to see how the buds start stacking up and even more excited to smoke it and see if these traits carry all the way through to the effects and if they are consistent with the way they look now. #3 was feeling really light so I hit her with some FFBigBloom for the first bloom feeding! she drank it right up and I am interested to see how this impacts the growth rate. #1 still felt pretty heavy after the watering a few days ago so I left her alone and I will water her when she is ready, so far #1 has been drinking about half as much as #3 so this is to be expected. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 11/02- Im starting to notice a lot of crowding going on with each plant. They have gotten really dense and bushy and Im noticing fan leaves are starting to cover the bud sites. Since they have done some stretching already i think I am going to do some defoliation soon. My hope is that by defoliating I can get the plants to pump energy into the cola buds and really plump them out instead of putting energy into the little popcorn buds. Probably going to defoliate tomorrow.

11/03- Decided that today was going to be the day for defoliation! Sat down and stripped all the inner growth up to the last 4-5 (in some cases 2-3) layers of growth per branch and took a few fan leaves off the top to let more light in. Ended up striping a bit more than I thought I would and the girls are looking pretty bare so far. Im keeping my fingers crossed that I didn't take too much, last time I defoliated they bounced back within the week but that was during veg so I'm hoping that they fill back out a little. The goal of defoliating at this point was to allow the plant to put all of its energy and nutrients into the production of big heavy coals on each branch instead of wasting it on some smaller popcorn buds. I also am hoping to keep some of the vegetation out of the way that was blocking light and get the most light saturation possible, especially since they are a little big for the space and I didn't top them so I'm struggling to get the light to fully cover the plants. After defoliation I fed #1 with some FFBigBloom and got her on her first round of bloom nutes. Going to keep a close eye on them this week to see how they respond to the defoliation and how they bounce back. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 11/04- Checked on them really quick before work this morning, they seem to be doing alright after the defoliation. Still looking pretty bare but it looks like they still have enough vegetation to still generate enough energy to bounce back and finish strong. They are definitely getting more light now than they were. Im also really starting to notice the bud sites starting to produce a lot of hairs, excited to start seeing little buds forming hopefully this week!!

The girls are still looking strong this week. Ive been getting busy with life so I havent been able to update the diary as much as I would like to but growth on #3 is looking strong. #1 is looking pretty small so I am going to brainstorm some ways to boost bud production on that one. They are starting to produce some aroma now when I squeeze the buds, they both smell really strongly of grapes. Ive been feeding them with FF BigBloom every other watering and they seem to be liking it.

I'm starting to see buds and trichomes building up now! The smell is still getting stronger in the tent but they don't have any distinctive aroma unless I squeeze the buds and smell my fingers. I think that i want to defoliate a little more on them to open up the bud sites more but I'm afraid to take too many leaves off. I will probably do it to #1 first since its smallest and see how it responds.

11/04- This is a long post since I havent been posting much. Did my final defoliation for the duration of flower yesterday and Im a little worried that I took too much but I really wanted to open up the bud sites so that they could get as much air flow and light as possible. The buds on #3 are just getting bigger and bigger and are looking extremely dense. The buds on #1 are looking extremely frosty but they are lacking bud density, mostly its just sugar leaves covered in trichomes and some pistols coming out of the top. Thinking about using #1 for hash if it keeps looking like this. I noticed some calcium deficiency starting last week on #3 but wasn't able to get any cal-mag until early this week. I fed #1 with cal-mag even though it didn't look like it needed it to be safe but I haven't had a chance to give it to #3 yet because it hasn't needed any water. They have been drinking really slowly (only needing water 1 time last week) and I'm noticing the leaves at the top starting to get very purple both things I think are attributed to the 59F nights in my basement. So last night I set up a heating system for the tent! I was worried that putting a small space heater directly into a 4x4 tent would be a fire hazard so I got innovative. I decided to capitalize on the large amount of negative pressure created by my carbon filter and fan so I took another length of ducting and attached it to the vent hole at the bottom of the tent. I then ran that ducting about 6ft away from the tent to an area of my basement that was safer to run the space heater. I then played with the speed on my fan to create enough negative pressure to pull the heat into the tent but not so much that it was venting the tent too quickly. This took about 3 hours to get right and at the end I got the room to even out in the mid 70's which is really nice considering they haven't been warmer than 67 in almost a month. Then I set the temp on the heater so that it wasn't running all of the time and would just kick on periodically throughout the day and night. This morning when I checked on them the humidity was a little low but they also seemed to be drinking water again so I am hoping that I will be able to water them tonight. I have been getting nervous because they haven't been drinking much and I am running out of time to give them nutes in flower. I recently realized that I have been using a much weaker nute than I had intended. I have been using FFBigBloom but I found out that I should have been using FFTigerBloom because it has a more diverse nutrient spread and higher values. I have fed them each once with FFTigerBloom so I am and I am hoping to get in a few more before its timre for the flush. Im expecting to be done the last week of december or the first week of January! Super psyched to see how the next few weeks go!

Overall this was an amazing first grow! I learned so much and in the end was blessed with some fantastic product. I definitely can do better and have identified a few things that would definitely increase my bud quality like more light, better soil, and topping the plants. Excited to grow more plants in the future but I am officially hooked. If you followed along thanks for watching keep checking out my future grows to see what I can do in the future! ❤️
