Kosher Kush 1st time growing EVER!

dul3l3s I am keeping the plugs moist and have them still on a head pad for 18 hours per day (same is light cycle). Her sister is also sprouted and growing, slightly shorter height.

dul3l3s Transplanted into slightly larger pots. Unfortunately, I snapped the stem on the larger plant during transplanting. Thankfully, I had a backup.

dul3l3s Transplanted to a 5 gallon fabric mesh pot elevated for drainage. Healthy growth this week, starting to see the leaves forming.

dul3l3s Had a learning experience this week. I started measuring runoff EC, I had no idea I was supposed to keep track of this figure. The runoff EC was 3000+ so I began flushing twice daily. The runoff EC is getting lower and under control. However, I think I need a few more days of flushing with CaMg ph 6.2 agua. Plants are still growing well and starting to smell really nice. Also, I switched nutrients to the General Hydroponics Flora series. I am following this feed chart with the nutes that I actually own. https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/mixnutes/ I can't wait!!

dul3l3s Topped all the plants this week at the 4 or 5 node. Defoliated lower leaves and trying to train 8-12 colas. Flushing as worked well as the runoff EC is under control around 1150. Things are looking good!

dul3l3s Been fertigating twice per day with lower EC solution, around 900-950. The run off was creeping upwards towards +500 again for around 1300-1500 EC. Not a bad number in my opinion but I don't like the wide spread of input to output EC. Also, elevated these lovely girls for better air circulation. Eventually, I will install an automated runoff pumping system with a condensate pump. Currently, I have to move the plants out to fertigate, remove the old runoff and then return the plants. I like checking on the plants every day but moving the plants is getting a little old. Hopefully, the work will pay off! I took some clones off this week as well. I am a little concerned when I was low stress training, the main stem seemed to have separated slightly. Hopefully, this doesn't do terrible things.

dul3l3s This week I noticed some leaves started to get spots on them and determined it might be a fungus. I removed all the bad leaves and added cedar wood chip mulch. I love the way the cedar looks and smells! No longer seeing signs of fungus/spots. Also, added a dehumidifier to the tent to keep humidity lower for next stages and to lower risk of fungus. Did a lot of training/trimming to get the colas forming in the direction I want the plant to grow. I am anticipating good yields! I fixed the broken stem with some electrical tape. The plant is showing no signs of injury from the stem break!

dul3l3s This week I added a condensate pump to deal with runoff and water from the dehumidifier. The thing works great! I attached 3/8" ID hose to each drip tray and then route the hose to the condensate pump. I no longer have to move the plants around when watering! The growth this week has been great! I am planning on flipping to flower in 1-2 weeks. These babies are starting to smell wonderful, I can't imagine when the buds start forming!

dul3l3s Another decent week of growth. I changed the fertigation schedule to just once per day as I am trying to control humidity in the tent. The condensate pump works great with the auto draining plant saucers, such a nice improvement. I am planning on flipping to flower in the next few days.

dul3l3s First week of flower, flipped on 10/3/23. I also put a trellis in the tent to hopefully match the canopies of each plant. I have two plants that need to catch up. Also, switched the feed schedule and nutrients. I noticed some nutrient burn on a few leaves but not bad. I dosed a smaller nutrient amount to remedy the nutrient burn. One thing I learned recently was I was defoliated too much. I would defoliate daily but I think I stunted the growth. I am going to hold of defoliating for a few weeks.

dul3l3s Spent the week trying to maintain a consistent canopy height for all the plants; smaller plants are slowly catching up. Defoliated one day the lower canopy to help grow tops. A steady week of growth with few issues. As a preventative measure, I sprayed with Neem oil twice before defoliation.

dul3l3s Very strong week of flowering growth. This tent is exploding with new growth both height and budding nodes. Watering schedule has just been once per day in the am. I am monitoring runoff EC around 1300-1350. All plants appear to be female!

dul3l3s This baby took off like a rocket ship this week! So much growth and really nice bud nodes forming. Performed a bit of LST to keep the tallest colas away from the lights.

dul3l3s The budding colas are really starting to form. Removed the Flora Micro (Nitrogen) from the feeding schedule to help with bud formation. Defoliated mid week.

dul3l3s Another solid week of bud formation. I have been focused on keeping the humidity around 50% or lower. The dehumidifier inside the tent is not keeping up. I have to keep the tent open and have a floor fan exhausting the room.

dul3l3s Another week of solid bud growth. I have two dehumidifiers running to keep the moisture down and they are doing very well. I definitely think this tent is meant for two plants instead of four.

dul3l3s Upped the P and K nutrients and removed/lower the N to help nugget production. The nugs seem to be growing steadily and forming some good sized colas.

dul3l3s Another solid week of nugget growth. I have been watering twice per day with each plant getting 0.5 gallons per watering. I typically use nutrients in the am and then flush when needed in the afternoon. Nute burn seems to be minial at this point.

dul3l3s These girls are getting stinky and sticky! Waiting on the tricombs to turn more amber then harvest! Thinking about 1-3 more weeks until harvest!

dul3l3s 820 grams of total plant weight after chop. 75 grams dried yeild
