What’s up, All?! This is my first journal on this site and it’s also my first time growing in soil. I dabbled in dwc about 10 years ago, but haven’t done anything since. I was gifted a few plants from a friend a couple weeks ago. Not sure what they are, but we’re gonna run it and see what happens. Not sure how far along they are but I would guess 3 weeks old maybe?

3-24 Moved two of the girls into the newly set up 5x5 under a single Mars-Hydro TS1000 for now. I’m planning on getting one more in the next 2 weeks to start the flowering. That should give the scrog some time to fill in. I’ve been having some issues as you can see in the photos. I diagnosed it at cal-mag, but I am not 100% on that. Some brown spots, some leaf droopage, and some clawing of leaf tips. I read that a cal-mag deficiency is common when watering with RO water, so I top fed 10tbsp cal-mag. Can anyone else help confirm my diagnosis? Thanks in advance

I don't see it linked. unless your going on their profile and sorting thought any diaries they do have. I don't plan on doing that, waste of time, some people have many open diaries. Site needs to fix its shit. #GrowDiariesDoBetter.

3-31-24 They have rebounded very well from where they were last week. On the 27th, I gave each a double dose of fertilizer, and a light defoliation of the affected leaves, and they have bounced back quite well. Lollipopped them a little and flipped to 12/12. Later this week, I will introduce some bloom fertilizer

4-14-24 We have buds! Well, the beginnings of them anyway. Little clusters starting to form. Did the final defoliation and watered. Another light is in the mail, and should hopefully be here by the weekend.

4-21-24 The start of week 4, and the buds are coming! It’s exciting to watch. The spaces are filling in. Watering when dry. They’ll get one more good feeding this coming week, then it’ll be water until the end

Week 12. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Again, not sure what the strain is, but they flowered nicely. Had some slight, what I believe to be, sulfur deficiencies but over all, the colas were falling over and that’s a good sign. Could’ve done some better lollipopping but, it’s my first grow in almost 10 years so it’s a learning curve for next run. Not sure on weights yet, but will update when I trim in a couple weeks

I still have one more of these plants to flower, and it’ll go in in 2 weeks after this harvest dries. I will also be flowering a Cheeselicious from Europa seeds, which is my only DWC plant. Stay tuned for that journal
