This seed took over a week in glass of water. I didn’t think this bean would open. But it finally had a little tail popping out. When I seen that small white tail for the second day and it wasn’t any bigger i decided to put it in dirt. It was the right move. She’s a little slow but we’ll see. The bubba kush didn’t open up so I put another in that cup. Fingers crossed. Let’s Grow!!!

I’ve got 7 leaves now so I switched to stronger light and it’s first week of Veg. Everything is going according to plan. The bottom leaf has a small nutrient burn from ocean forest soil. It’s a little to strong for seedlings but I’m not really worried about it. I turned the air all the way up in the nutrient solution. The solution only has 1/4 of what GH calls for. The stem on this little guy is pretty thick compared to all my other grows. The nodes are nice and uniform so far. I’m happy with the progress. I’m expecting a lot of growth soon since it’s Hydroponics. I’ll keep the LED light on it till the 12/12 switch is made then I’ll put the USHIO opti-red HPS to work. Let’s Grow!!!!

This week hasn’t been good for this little lady. I decided to try something new and I added Floralicous plus to the feeding. I used half what the recommended dosage and it has damn near killed this plant. The roots went from being a beautiful white color to a nasty brown and they literally fell off. Even the smell was like death. So I learned valuable lesson here. DO NOT ADD FLORALICIOUS PLUS at this early stage. Way too strong for new Vegetation plants. Even tho it says it’s good for all cycles of plant life. Anyway hopefully she’ll recover. Let’s Grow!!!

This week is a little better than last week. She lost her lower leaves but I think she’s on her way back up. I decided to transfer her into a 3 gal soil fab pot. She’s still got some catching up to do but I’m in no hurry and since it’s not a autoflower I’m not really worried. Once she’s ready I’ll flip the 12/12 switch. Thanks for the help minipops and autoflowerssuck. Let’s grow

This week has been good for the plant it has recovered from my mistake but the bottom leave still has burn. I don’t think it will recover but that’s ok everything else going well. I don’t think I’m going to top this girl. She’s already short and stocky

I did some trimming and LST this week. I didn’t plan on topping this plant but I’m thinking about it and starting a clone from it. All the nodes were really uniform same distance apart except the last one.

This week was good. I decided to top her and she handled that well. A little trim and a lot of bending and LST. She’s looking good. I’m trying to use the top as a clone we’ll see how that turns out. Another week I’ll flip to 12/12. I might go to 9 weeks tho. I haven’t decided yet. But I’m happy with everything so far. Let’s grow!

This week I flipped the switch to 12/12. So far I’m happy with this plant. It seems hearty seeing how I goofed up in the beginning and it’s made a solid recovery. The canopy is all one level so we should see some nice buds throughout the entire plant. Next week I’ll start it on liquid koolbloom and molasses. When I went into grow room this morning it had that wonderful skunk smell. Weak but that’s to be expected this early in flower stage. I want to note that when I start the flowering stage the first day I leave the lights off for 24 hours then I start the 12/12. Happy growing folks. LETS GROW!!!

I think the stretch is almost over. Not sure tho this is my first time growing SD. Everything looks good tho. Last week with molasses and water was the right call. And this week I’m back on the Nuts pretty heavy. She’s taking everything I’m throwing at her with no problems or burning. We’ve got white hairs everywhere and the smell is getting stronger. Lots of bending and and LST to keep canopy one level to maximum light penetration throughout entire plant. My clones from this mother plant have not done well. I’ve got one finally rooting after 3 weeks. The other one still nothing and I’m using rooting hormone. Happy growing folks!!

This week is good. I thought the stretch was coming to an end but I was wrong she’s still stretching. I’m having issues with humidity tho. Even with humidifier the spider farmer ventalation system I have is sucking out the moisture faster than I can put it in. If I turn system down then it gets to hot maybe I need another humidifier. I’m shooting for 65% but I can’t get it higher than 45%. And it’s causing the leaves to curl downward. Also note to self no more 3 gallon pots. I usually use 5 gallon fabric pots. This time I thought I would grow smaller plant and I would use smaller pot. But it’s drying up to fast. I have to water this lady every other day. Not that big of a problem. Lesson learned. Let’s grow!!!

Wow this plant is amazing. Look at how the buds are stacking up. This is going really well. I do have some leaves turning yellow. I’ll up the calimagic a little bit. Everything else is looking good. The aroma in this room is wonderful I could sit here all day.

These buds are stacked and swelling up nicely. Everything is going well. I had PH problem with my tester I had to get new one. The old one was more than 5 points off. No wonder I kept having problems. I’ve almost got her back to the ideal 6.2 ph range and she’s loving it. The smell is so good. Let’s Grow!!!

This week was horrible. I had to go out of town for 5 days for Christmas. I left the watering job to my buddy and he completely screwed everything up. He put two more fans on high directly at the plants for 5 days straight. He also lowered my light to 18 inches so the plant was cooked from heat and wind. I don’t even think he watered the plant. When I came home I thought plant was dead. The aroma was completely gone the leaves are all dried and curled up. All my hard work is gone in a few days. I could honestly cry. I wanna punch this dumbass right in the cum dumpster. But it’s all good I’m trying to bring her back. I raised lights up to 24” removed extra fans and gave her water. The smell is back and the buds are standing back up with help. They we’re falling to ground. I hope that the buds aren’t ruined I hope they’re still tasty and strong. I’m definitely going to invest in drip system. Fuck asking someone else to help out. I’ve unfortunately had to learn everything the hard way. I’m trying to find the good out of this situation and only thing I’m thinking of is. I know how to kill the smell if it ever gets to loud. Best of luck fellow growers. Let’s grow.

This week the buds are getting heavier I had to use yoyo hangers and marshmallow sticks to hold them up. The trichomes are getting more cloudy. No amber colors yet. I’m thinking maybe 2 or 3 weeks and it’ll be ready. I’m checking the trichomes every day. I’ve started reducing the amount of nutrients and I started the dry koolbloom. Best of luck fellow growers. Semper Fi and let’s grow!!!

This week is good. The smell is intoxicating and extremely penetrating even with active charcoal filter. I’m extremely happy to see that she’s making a come back from the goof ups. I noticed that some of the trichomes are starting to turn amber color and some are purple. I think it could be closer to harvest time than I thought. Any master growers out there that check this out please let me know your thoughts on how long I’ve got. The trichomes are cloudy but some are clear and some have amber tips. So I’m going to let her go two more weeks at the max unless I’m told other wise. I’ve learned a lot from this grow and I’m pretty excited bout the next one. I’ve got to get a grow tent to help out with the smell. The moment you pull in my drive way you can smell it. Not a bad thing but I’m pretty sure entire neighborhood knows I’m growing now. I feel like I put a target on my back ya know. Happy growing folks and let’s grow!!! Semper fi

This week is great. I’m thinking one more week and it’s time to chop chop. The aroma is amazing. Everything is looking good. No complaints this week. This is the hardest part for me picking the right time to chop her down. To soon to late and it can ruin everything. I’ve dropped light hours down to 10 hrs a day and I’ve dropped all Nutes except sweetener and floralicous plus. 48 hrs of darkness before the chop. I thought about doing split stem on this girl. Anyone ever done that? Does it really up THC? Happy growing folks. Let’s grow!!!

Well another grow in the books. I like the smell and looks and how much this girl produced. But I messed up by adding nutes I’ve never used before and she taste awful and harsh. Next grow will not get the FOOP. I don’t like it and I’ll stick with GH and Signal. Well let’s grow!!! Semper fi. Oh ya I just upgraded my grow room. I got a 48x48x80 tent and got a couple mars hydro evo led lights. The heat difference between HPS and led is much more less. I hope these lights can grow good stuff. I can definitely see the differences in spectrum. My hps was so orange or warm. this mars led is white or cool.
