Lemon Jeffery - PP - FIRST EVER GROW

This clone was randomly given to me and I had no setup! I immediately got her out of the growers pit into a 3L. This is going to be a simple Living Soil and Water only grow! Her roots outgrew the 3L and she began to crash as you’ll see from the pictures. This was easily remedied by increasing to a 5L.

Not much to report this week. Taking off in vegetative growth after the pot upgrade. Still battling humidity! Keeping it at a reasonable, but not ideal, level.

The 5L pot did wonders! My goal is to fill this entire 3x3 tent. I found myself having humidity and heat issues. To remedy this I purchased a new Vivosun cool mist humidifier and placed my warm air humidifier outside of my tent near the passive intake. Works wonders! Ventilation: 2 X 4” clip fans 4 inch, cheap, in-line fan and carbon filter (I will pay for this later. Just buy the 6 inch MINIMUM! CHEAPER IS NOT BETTER!) Growing about an inch per night!

Still exploding in growth.! The net has been pulled down and training is in full effect. I’m liking the canopy coverage thus far. We are still battling a slight heat and humidity issue. I have found that misting the inside of the tent is helping humidity and leaving the bottom zipper open are helping with the temperature. Since this is just the pre-bloom stretch I’m not too worried. Will continue to monitor. I have also began daily defoliation which will likely continue until mid-flower.

Net/ tent are filling out nicely! I find myself constantly rearrangin colas and stems as I defoliate. The goal is the make as many potential bud sites a possible !

We lollipopped her this week! Look at all those bud spots!

Not much to report! Temp is still a little high but the solution is on its way! Defoliation is a must! I am still surprised with the vegetative growth rate.

The bud sites are officially in and starting to get a little frosty! We have lowered the daytime temperature and slowly lowering the humidity by the week. The only real concern may be nighttime humidity( The fix is on its way!)

Buds, buds, buds! Frost, frost, frost! We are looking lovely! We have also added and Exhale CO2 bag to assist blooming. We have fixed the temperature issue! I just receive my AC Infinity 6” Cloudline Pro T6!! This new exhaust fan when paired with their Wi-Fi controller gives me full control from my cell phone. This is 100000x better than the previous 4 inch. I now use the 6” to exhaust and the 4” for intake. As I attempt to lower my temperature even further for late flower I fear I will need larger clip clans. Remember what I said in the beginning? CHEAPER IS NOT BETTER. Either buy it right, or buy it twice!

Been a rainy week here and things are starting to heat up. Humidity and temperature a little higher than ideal. Not really noticing too much smell yet but my house always smells like weed so who knows. There is a very pungent lemon sme when touching the leaves so we’ll see what she does!

Last week it was humidity, and this week the rain is throwing off the pH of the tap water. I haven’t need to balance up until this point but it looks like that has changed now! Had some major yellowing due to ph. Defoliated, flush, and added another 1/2 inch of topsoil ( I was starting to notice some nute deficiencies). I am also about to attempt a drought stress as we enter week 8 of flower. Studies show it to increase tricome production if done right. Although they do not recommend it for beginners, go figure. The instructions seems simple enough, especially if you hover over your plant as I do. Wish me luck as I try to finish her out!

Almost to the end! Did an early flush this week and added another 1/2 inch of topsoil. Seems to have fixed the nute deficiencies and yellowing I was getting in the previous week. She has not received any water since the flush and we are about halfway through the planned drought stress period. I am mostly playing the drop in leaf angle by eye. With the holiday she hasn’t been viewed in over 36 hours. Wish me luck when she is finally opened up tonight! We have also completed our last defoliation!

Last photos before the big chop!! Enjoy! P.S. imo the drought stressing was a success! Only went for 8 days no water as opposed to 10 since I’m in loving soil and they recommend some moisture at all times. I plan to dry in my grow tent after removing the light. Low And Slow! 65 degrees and 60% RH (hopefully). Wish me luck! Happy growing!

Aaaaaaand we’re done! I’ve loved the process and learned so much. Had to try before the cure! Real clean smoke which is what I was going for with the living soil. The lemon/citrus flavor is starting to settle in by the hour! All in all I pulled 4 ounces exactly and have began to cure them in Grove bags. I can’t wait to see the final FINAL results!
