Over a pound. Let’s gooo

12/24/23- Still waiting for the replacement seed to sprout. The two other girls are doing their thing. Gave them a little dechlorinated water. Didn’t measure it. Just dripped a little ina circle around them. Right now I have them under a little low wattage grow bulb so I don’t burn them while they’re so little. 12/25/23- the replacement seed came through overnight and looks beautiful (picture added with date) 12/26/23- Seems like maybe I had the light too far from the babies. They seem a bit tall (long stems). They still look good and healthy otherwise

Made it through the first week! 2 of the babies are a week old and the 3rd is 3 days old I think? They all spent their first day with the seeds stuck on. 2 made it and 1 didn’t - which is why 1 is a few days behind (had to plant another in its place). It will be the smallest pictured. Haven’t fed them or anything. Just been giving them small amounts of decholrinated water. Had them a bit too far from light initially I assume, as they got a bit tall. 12/29/23- Going to add a bit more soil to the cups to cover up some stem. 12/30/23- leaves looking a bit crinkled.. wondering if humidity isn’t as high as they’d like? 1/1/24- Took them away from the baby light bulb and have them under a 100w led that’s about 24 inches away at about 30%. Plan to slowly increase and see how they respond. #2 seems to be growing faster than #1 and 3 seems to be trucking along, trying to catch up. (It was planted several days after others) the very ripe of leaves are looking maybe burned? Like from what I see others call nutrient burn, but I haven’t fed them anything yet.

I’ve updated this week to correctly reflect the actual age of the babies. Somehow .. like a noob I got ahead of myself and was putting all the things for actual week 2, here in week 3. So here we goooo on track lol. 1/10/24- #1 & #2 are 21 days old. #3 is 17 days I’m pretty sure. 1 & 2 have both been transplanted. Will be transplanting 3 soon. Fed/watered all and increased light intensity on little 100w light to 100% at about 2 feet away. 1/11/24. #1 & #3 each have a leaf with strange growth. Ones curved weird and the other is like deformed? #2 is larger than #1 by quite a bit, even though those 2 were planted, and spouted same time.

1/18/24- Babies are 29 days old now, except the 3rd, it’s 24. All have been topped once. Have fed them twice. Other than that they are needing water every other day, with the exception of #3. It’s every 3 days. I’ve been giving silica and calmag with waterings. #2 seems to be growing tall with huge leaves and long node spacing. It looks odd. #1seems just about right, but has a small bit of brown kinda crunchiness on the edge of one of its leaves. I’m not sure what that’s about. Maybe it got light burn? Can too much calmag do this? Going to check into it. #3 is truckin along.. playing catchup. It still has its weird misshapen leaf. I guess everything seems well otherwise. 1/23/24- #1 & #2 have been topped twice. #1’s shape is looking nice. It’s smaller but looks the best to me. #2 is is kinda droopy and sad looking. I think maybe it wants a bigger pot now. It’s growing very lanky and weird. I’m trying some lst clips on a couple branches that are blocking light to others. Trying to let these grow as naturally as possible (minimal training) other than topping, but this one’s leaves are just so big and blocking everything. #3 is doing well playing catch up.

1/25/24 day 36 for #1 & #2. Day 32 for #3 All have been topped twice. All need water every other day in the 2 gallon pots. They will need transplanting soon. They were looking a bit dark so I’ve been cautious with feeding. Once a week now for nutrients and giving silica and calmag with each water. All seems well as far as I can tell with the exception of #2 always looking droopy. Not sure what her issue is. 1/27/24- transplanted 1 & 2. Going to transplant #3 on the same age day as the other two. (It’s 4 days behind them). Also didn’t have them in the tent before and they’ve now been moved there. 1/30/24- droopy looks less droopy (#2)

2/2/24- all have been transplanted into their final homes. Using totes. #2 seems happier and less droopy than she’s always been. #3 has caught up nicely and #1 has always been chill. I guess for now everything seems to be going good. Watering when dry and haven’t fed for awhile as I think they were getting toxicities (they were VERY dark green and kinda waxy looking). Have been giving them silica and calmag with waterings. Light is about 2 feet up and about 75%.

2/10/24. The girls grew a ton this week. The temperature has gotten warmer (staying around 80 in tent) They were growing more slowly in the lower 70’s previously. They seem to like it hot. The leaves have lightened in color so I’ll be feeding them again and see where we wind up. For the most part Ive just allowed them to grow pretty naturally just to see what they do. They are looking a bit in a need of some defoliation and I think I’ll try trellising them tomorrow to spread them out a bit. In all everything seems to be going well so far.

2/19/24- added trellis a few days ago. Don’t think it’s there quite right .. think I waited too long and it was hard to get it down level and tight enough. Ah well, it’s still helping to spread them out and many more bud sites have shown up. Defoliated a bit, but I think I should have done more. Letting the third one catch up a few more days before flipping these girls. Some of the leaves on one of them seems like it’s gone from too dark of a green to kinda purple with light green markings. Don’t know what that’s about. Deficiency or idek. It seems happy still I think. 2/23/24- I’m flipping today. I think there are trying to do something on their own? They have changed at the tops. Things are sticking out and I’m pretty sure I’m seeing white hairs there too. The one that needed to catch up has enough anyway. I’ll just put a picture.

2/26/24. So I flipped these girls 3 days ago. Not sure what’s going on with them? They look like they have little buds starting or something..and they kinda looked like that before I flipped them. I think that’s maybe not normal? I’ve looked at lots of diaries and haven’t noticed that until a couple weeks in. I’m hoping all is okay. The tops all seem very light in color as well, compared to the rest of the plant. Also getting a bit of what appears to be some sorta burn on the tips and some light coloring in between leaf veins-which by looking at deficiencies is similar to magnesium def. So kinda wondering what to do. Slight tip burn and deficiencies? Hmm could be lighting issue maybe. Going to keep an eye on it. Gave transition feeding. Seems early for any smells from what I’ve researched.. but yeah.. there’s a slight smell coming from the tent 😳

3/4/24-Here we are with the ladies goin to their second week. Yay baby flowers 💚 Have a few things going on. I apparently suck at the trellis thing lol. At flower they were all pretty even..I would tuck a few stragglers that got taller under. They’ve went crazy now and I don’t really have anywhere to tuck them other than away from the lights which I don’t wanna do. There was some discoloration on the tips of leaves which I assumed was light or nutrient related, so I dimmed lights a bit and checked the runoff water. Omg. It was wayyyyy too acidic. Like high 4’s low 5. Some leaves also appear to be showing magnesium deficiency.. which I assume is because of the crazy acidity. I’m giving dechlorinated tap water (no normal nutes) without phing it because it’s very alkaline. Hoping it will bring things back up. Oh, I sprinkled epsom salt on the soil before watering. (Magnesium) Really crossing my fingers that I am doing the right things and don’t screw this up! These ladies still look really good to me considering.. but only time will tell. Update: pretty sure I had nitrogen toxicity and too much salt buildup in the soil. In the meantime got what seemed to be magnesium deficiency. I’ve been giving only water with some epsom salt and the girls seems much happier. Hopefully Krisis averted 😂

03/11/24- had determined last week that my runoff ph was crazy.. leaves darkened and clawing (N tox) and also a freaking mag deficiency. For the 3 past waterings I’ve given nothing but dechlorinated non ph’d water (tap water’s alkaline af) and epsom salts. The girls perked up and seem pretty happy. I’m going to give the calmag I have that claims to be N free, that has some micros and then some bloom only. I’m hoping stretch is over because it’s turning into a jungle. The frost on these things looks amazing already. The smell? Yeah.. can’t really describe it but it’s kinda offensive LOL

03/18/24. Entering week 4 wow. Times flying. Nothing really interesting to update on. #2 is driving me crazy. It seems like she’s always getting upset about something. When I think I figured her out.. she’s like nah, here’s some other strange leaf issues. The other 2 seem perfectly fine. Im thinking now maybe from me cutting back on food before because she seemed over fed-now she’s too hungry. Her leaves seem a bit pale in certain areas now with tiny reddish coloring on edges. Aside from that it seems like she’s still doing her flower thing. All 3 seem frosty and the leaves are sticky and smelly lol. Going to feed #2 a bit heavier than the others for now. Forgot on post earlier to say- Light at 18 above at 75%

03/26/24 So, I hadn’t been giving the micros I have because I noticed it has a lot of nitrogen in it and they already had too much in the past. This wasn’t a good idea apparently.. getting some serious yellowing and reds in some of the leaves. One of the girls seems perfectly fine with no signs of this, but the other 2.. yeah. I’ve not made any changes from last update other than adding the micros. Hope they’ll be alright as I’m pretty sure this is way too early for any colors other than green 😢 Any input here is completely appreciated. Other than that the girls are smelly, frosty and sticky af. I can’t really figure out how to describe the smell. Something like chemically-cough medicine? With like some kind of funky but then a whiff of sweet with a bit of the marker smell. Terrible description, I’m sure.. but it’s hard to explain.

04/02/24. Here we are starting week 6. Not too much has changed since last week. 2 of the girls leaves seem to be changing colors no matter what intensity of light I try, or what nutrients I give, or don’t. Both of their pistols have gotten really dark as well. #1 (middle plant) has stayed pretty dark green, pretty sure she has too much nitrogen before. Her pistols seem to be darkening much slower. It seems as the other 2 are very similar to each other, and seem more mature. I figured they would maybe drink less water as time went on but instead it seems they are drinking more than ever. Some days the soil is so dry and they look droopy after having been watered thoroughly the day before. Others they seem alright, so watering schedule is typically every other day unless they demand more. I’ve been giving them about a gallon- watering in very slowly. I also gave them some tea, which I’ve listed up top. Trying to help their leaves. Maybe this is just normal, but I don’t know, just think it’s too early for colors. The smell I mentioned in another week has gotten louder. I swear I smell spices mixed in there now too. It’s been nice out the past few days so I opened the windows. Oops. Could smell them outside. Smelled like weird spicy food cooking with a side of chemical, gas, and a skunk spraying? Yeah idk lol.

04/09/24. Time to start week 7. Not much to say other than about the girls themselves. I haven’t changed anything other than I think I’ve given them the last feed yesterday. I’m thinking they’ll be done within 2 weeks and I’ve read that it’s best to give water the last 2 weeks. Hope this is the right thing to do. The buds are thickening up and the pistols are getting pretty dark and starting to recede.. well.. on two of the girls that seem the most similar to each other. The middle plants much frostier, smellier, and skinnier buds- with lighter pistols. All are becoming colorful. It’s smelling very spicy with like rotting fruit or something currently. The smells very strong through the house. I don’t think these will be the biggest buds, but they are definitely dense af and lovely and smelly.. oh and sooo sticky wew Guess that’s it until the start of week 8 flower. We’re gettin close! My video for the week won’t load up for some reason. Idk what the problem is. Update: don’t be an idiot and run out of space on your phone. I made space and it uploaded LOL. Derrrrrrr

04/16/24. Hey hiii helloooo. We are entering week 8 wow. I can’t believe we made it. All in all I’m very happy with how thing have gone/are going. I’m not sure exactly how soon or not these will be done. I think they’ve done what they are gonna do and now we’re just watching trichomes. They look sorta done? Like I think I could chop them and all would be fine.. but I’m no expert on trichomes. I think they look milky LOL..mostly? I’m going to let them keep going and watch for any changes. Feeling happy and also sad at the thought of murdering them :( I love them Oh and I dimmed the light to 50% and just giving water still when they’re dry which is every other day. Each drinking 1 gallon. Trichome pictures included for anyone who can look at them better than me.😅

What a day for harvest! Happy 420! The trichomes told me they were ready for a few days I guess. Got a few opinions that said HARVEST them. So, here we are. They have been murdered :( Sad & happy day. I don’t have a way to measure them wet so we’ll have to wait until they’re dry. I’ve got them in my closet with a fan to keep the air moving (not pointed at them) & a humidifier going. They are staying pretty steady so far at around 60% humidity and around 65f. Best I can get it around really. The smell is pretty strong. Smells kinda like a gas station in the closet. I didn’t do anything special, like hours of darkness etc. just went in and did the deed. Hopefully they dry nice and slow. Will update more when it’s finished drying and trimmed etc
