Seeds all germinated via paper towel method successfully and I have now moved them into the soil. As they are autos I have put them straight into the final pot to stop transfer shock. Unsure whether I am going to struggle for space as this is my first grow but I am going to try it and see.

Plants seem to be ok and healthy as far as I can tell. Starting to up the water very slowly but letting the top of the soil dry before watering any more. Starting to get their first proper leaves 🍁

Week 2 seems to be going well had a good few true set of leaves coming. Starting to add some BioGrow in this week but only 0.5ml/l The one green apple juice see at the back left started to slow down growing but has recently come back to life. Unsure why as I am watering them all the same with same nutrients but I’m going to keep an eye on it. Been reading online and I’m leaning towards a cal/mag deficiency so might have to buy some nutrients but I’m unsure.

Starting to see some good growth on 3/4 plants back left is still struggling a bit but is still growing. Still can’t really figure out why but just going with it. As far as I can see everything seems ok with it might just be a slow grower. A friend’s recommended looking into LST to increase yields so the pics are before and after the LST going to tie a few more branches down tonight when I have more time. I had them out of the tent and I can definitely notice a slight smell coming from them which is a good sign 🍀 Expecting them to start flowering soon so will start giving them some bloom nutrients shortly. Enjoying my first grow and watching it all unfold just hope the end result is a good one 🤞🍀

Ended up getting rid of the plant that was struggling this week as the stem had snapped and it wasn’t looking to good. Happy with the growth on the other 3, I have started with the bloom nutrients now and I have started seeing hairs so I think flowering is right around the corner. Excited to see the finished product starting to form on the plant. Enjoying my first grow and watching it all unfold just hope the end result is a good one 🤞🍀 I’ve definitely found a new hobby 💯

This week I cut some of the bigger fan leaves off to try and let the light get to the potential bud sites more. Starting to get a lot more white hairs popping up which is a good sign I’m sure 🍀

Bud sites are really starting to show this week and the smell is really coming through. Had a bit of issues with the GSC seems to be a bit more fussy than the others but I have started watering it a bit less than the others and it seems to be doing fine now. Have cut some of the older lower fan leaves off as they weren’t getting much light but now I’m just going to leave it alone as I don’t want to stress it during flowering

Really liking the look of the Rainbow Glue 🌈 which im happy about as it was the one I’m looking forward to the most! 2 of my favourite strains crossed Gorrila Glue x Zkittles Green Apple and Girl Scout Cookies are also coming along well can’t wait to see some nice juicy buds hopefully on the next week or 2.

Cut some of the bigger fan leaves off this week to try and let more light get through to the lower bud sites. I know I need to start flushing in the next week I think but not 100% going to do some research and see what I can find online.

How to know when to start flushing? I have got a magnifying glass to check trichomes but they are still all clear at the moment.

Flush is most controversial discussion now. I see some N toxicity of few plants. Feeding less or right amount for plant needs deletes need of flush. In any case, you are 2 weeks away from flush stage, maybe even 3 ...

Getting ready to harvest the rainbow glue and green apple 🍏 🌈 Girl Scout Cookies is taking a little bit longer to dense up so I’m going to keep feeding her for another week and review next week. Looking forward to my first harvest and seeing what I get out of these beauties. 🍀

Last few weeks for my girls and I have to say I’m eager to try them now! Learnt a lot since starting them nearly 3 months ago so hoping the next lot I do are going to come out even better. I think I’m going to invest in a better light for the next one also. Stopped giving nutes to the Green Apple Juice yesterday as 80% of trichomes are cloudy on there now. Girl Scout isn’t far behind but trying to let this one dense up a bit more. Rainbow Glue I think will be going for a bit longer maybe another week or two.

Cropped the Green Apple Juice this week currently having it drying out then will upload some pics but I’m happy with what it looks like so far. Girl Scout trichomes are pretty much all cloudy now so won’t be long Rainbow Glue still got a lot of transparent trichomes so this may need a few more weeks. Can’t wait to give the apple a trim and then into the jars for the cure. The smell is amazing coming from the buds right now smelly very fruity.

I have started to use just water on both of the remaining girls. About 70-80% cloudy trichomes and they have really started to dense up over the last week. Made me feel like I should’ve kept the apple juice going for a little longer than I did but it’s all a learning curve for me! Apple juice has been curing for nearly week and is really starting to smell now will give it another week or two before the smoke test but I cannot wait! 🍏🍁

Happy with how this one came out for my first ever grow! Smells unreal like a sour apple smell. Got 28 grams out of it dry and trimmed so I am happy with the result. Gone into curing jars now once it is cured I will update with the smoke report.

Even though it had some deficiencies towards the end of the flowering still came out good! After trimming and drying was 39g on the scale so a good yield! The buds could be a bit denser but I think that is due to the deficiencies. Overall smells amazing and has a very good frosting! Very sweet smell coming through so far. Looking forward to smoking it after a few weeks of curing.

@Buds_420, Hi I tried answer but this page is not working to good. So if you see 2 answers that's why. 😊 But yes I would give them around 14 days plus. They are still putting on weight/ producing trichomes and maturing. From my experience autos also take long time to get over amber. But of course it's up to you. 🤛😊

Buds_420commenteda year ago
@@Dakaka, do you think so? From the look of the trichomes though most are cloudy and some are going amber?
