After my failed last grow, i needed some time to set up another grow again. After another failed germination i finally succeeded to get some plants running again. I decided to start this diary when they are the same age as the plants i lost my last grow. Week 4: So i'm finally back at week four, this is where my last plants got really sick and in the end i had to cut them off. So i'm finally over the hump again and things look better than last time. The plans for this week are just letting them recover. After that i'll let them grow another week and then switch to flower. The girls have been topped today above the fourth node. I think they should take it just fine. For fixing my bad watering habits i am now using a scale to get exact numbers to rely on. At the moment the girls drink 0.2l a day. Day 25: I did some LST today and spreaded them out a bit. They are growing well and drink almost 0.5l a day. So i decided now would be a good time before the stems get too woody. I also took off a few fanleaves.

Day 28: The Punches completed their first month of grow and still look quite healthy and show some good growth. They drink around half a litre per day, get food with every watering and some microbes once a week. We got two plants that stayed rather short, while two others gained more height. Last weeks focus was recovery from the topping and doing some LST to spread out the branches. I also plucked some fanleaves. They seem to take it all well. I want to give them another week in veg and switch the lights to 12/12 next weekend. So while i try to keep things simple and just stick to the basics without overthinking too much, i'll just let them grow and adjust LST to have a good base and kind of an even canopy for flower. I played with the idea to put in a scrog and veg till the tent is full, but i want to be able to take the plants out for inspection purposes and to be able to react quicker if things go south. So i keep it simple. LST and good watering habits. Thats it.

Day 35: Today i'm gonna switch the lights to 12:12 and iniate the transition to flower. The plants look pretty healthy and ready. I needed to throw out the big humidifier and i'm now running the small one. Not perfect VPD-wise as it just manages to maintain roundabout 65% RH, but i need the space. Looking forward to the upcoming weeks! Hopefully it all stays smooth and easy.

Second week of transition into flower. The plants are starting to look a bit pale and i got some yellowing fanleaves. Conditions are okay i guess. 26°, 60%RH, Soil PH 6.5, Feed every watering. Water every two days. They grow fine though and stretched a good amount during the first week.

Here we are on week 3 since the switch to 12/12. The plants stretched a good amount and are looking quite good so far. They are on the pale side of life, but besides 1-2 yellowing lower fan leaves they seem to do good. Try to combat their pale appearance, but i did not find the culprit yet.

So we made it to week 4, since the switch to 12/12 and the plants are working on the buds. This is the time when i started having trouble on my runs, so i'm cautious as fuck. But beside some yellow lower leaves, everything seems to be okay at the moment. Lets hope for the best and a smooth flower. 🌱🌞🍀

Welcome to week 10! We made it to double digits! Wohooo! The last week was smooth and the plants put on some mass. The smell is starting to get more noticable and i'm very happy how it is going! I hope next week will be as good as this one! They drink more than last week and seem to be very happy! Pure joy! 🌱🌞🍀

Week 11! Another week in the books! So far things are still going quite good! The plants are not as green as i'd like, but they are pretty healthy. Settings are quite stable: Temps around 28° lights on and 20° lights off, Humidity hovers around 45-55%, Soil PH is between 6.5 and 6.7, they get water every other day. So lets hope they'll do some more budswelling over the next week, but the smells are starting to really kick in now!

Welcome to week 12! We got a good week behind us. The bud development was not as huge as last week, but they increased a bit. The smell is pretty strong now and the delicious berry flavours are coming through. They still look nice and healthy! I got pretty high humidity after the dark phase, so i installed an additional fan to increase airflow under the canopy and put a dehumidifier inside the tent. Just to be cautious with budrot. Besides that we just keep on trucking forward. I think another 2-4 weeks and they should be done, so I start monitoring trichome development. 🌱🌞🌞

Week 8 since the switch. Almost everything is going fine. Two buds on different plants seem to get yellowing sugarleaves which i find quite odd. But trichome development is going faster than i thought. It seems like 50-60% of trichs from the topbuds are milky, the rest i clear. Besides that things are looking good, but it seems that i should slowly start preparing for harvest. At this time i think between two an three weeks max 🌱🌞🍀

Well i have chopped them down yesterday. I think they would've needed a few days more. But i discovered some budrot on two buds yesterday, which i should've seen earlier. But since this was my first time: Lesson learned. And when i realized that there was budrot, i decided to chop them instantly to stop it from spreading. The trichs were about 80% milky which has to be good enough for this run. Pretty sad, but i hope i hope i can save most of the harvest. But we'll see once they are dried. The main lesson to take home is: The more plants the more humid... The dehumidifier which fitted in the tent was just not powerful enough to handle the humidity. I hoped i can get through, but thats how you learn. Next i definitely need to put one less plant in, to have some room for equipment.

This run with the gcp has been a joy. The plants tolerated everything i threw at them. At the end of the run i had some budrot, but that was my bad for letting the humidity get too high. Great genetics, easy to grow and the smell is 🔥🔥🔥. I recommend!

The green crack punch dried for 7 days, so the time has come for seeing if the budrot spread or if the damage is not too bad. I threw away everything i could identify as being infected before drying and i could not find any other infected parts during trimming. So up to now it is looking pretty good still! They yielded 170grams of dried bud, which is a nice average of 42grams per plant. I hope the curing goes well and we'll have some nice smoke as a reward. 😊 Wish me luck!

Mantenlo simple NO llenes mucho en vegetativo, porque luego tendrás el stretch y no las podrás controlar Si quieres puedes combinar Topping con LST para una canopia más plana
Herbie101
Herbie101commenteda year ago
@nonick123, Yeah, that is what i try to do. For this run its just topping and lst. Last week i tried to spread the branches out, this week i use lst to create an even canopy and then i'll hit the switch to flower. At least thats the plan 😁🌱🌞🍀
