Okay, So I am trying my first grow, It will be indoors using a Platinum P300 LED. Kind Soil and Fast Buds 6 Shooter. Unfortunately I have finally purchased my equipment but its now winter and the placement of the grow is cold at night so I purchased a germination mat to help keep the roots warm. My space is limited so I will be trying FIM and LST to keep it under control. Wish Me luck! I will try to keep it updated. Any and all help, comments or concerns are very much welcome.
had a bit of a rough week with the girls. I had a feeling I was over watering and decided to give an extra day to dry between waterings. I ended up waiting to long and came back to wilted girls laying over. I watered immediately and crutched them back up to help recovery. That was yesterday. I also raised the light a bit as I had dropped it down after turning on the bloom switch. oops....
Now they seem happy again and have overall gained in the last week pretty well. sorry I only have pics with the lights on, didnt want to stress them anymore than necessary. I will try to add pics with the lights off soon. until then happy growing all.
they are resting in the pictures. when the lights come back on they really perk up. still slow progress right now but they are coming along. I love how easy it is with the kind soil. just add water then walk away. I am really looking forward to the end result to see if I should be going with nutrients or if the organic method will give the results I am after.
Wow, these girls have progressed a good amount. now showing flower sites and have grown a few inches. they are looking very strong and happy. I have attached pics of before and after LST. I am going to skip the FIM as they are nowhere near as tall as I expected them to be at this point. I will let then react to the initial LST and then spread them out a bit more in the next few days.
I do have to say i am surprised at how short they are but with the amount of flowers coming in the girls may still do well. fingers crossed, still not sure how much they will take off from here......
they seem to be doing okay. one is definitely doing better than the other. it seems one week one is stronger and the next the other is stronger. I seem to be over watering and then under. I am trying to get the hang of it bit it seems if I wait to water it may be to long and if not it's to early. the leaves of o e looks over watered but the soil is bone dry for over and inch or 2 deep. regardless they are showing some decent flower growth.
also the plant that seems over watered has a few leaves that are browning but it should not be nutrient burn. and the light is 20 inches or so above which seems high. of anyone has any input I'm all ears.
getting some positive growth. But I think I have been overwatering. I have added more time between waterings and water less. they seem to be responding positively. I am really hoping they move along a bunch in these next few weeks.
well the buds are filling in slowly. already seeing some red hairs. not seeing any sugar on the leaves yet. hoping I still have a few more weeks until harvest is needed. I'd like the buds to really bulk up. fingers are crossed at some rapid growth.
Update, I was out of town a few days and just got back and was able to take a peek, man they are really smelling sweet and I think a bit citrus'y" hard to nail the smell but its really tasty smelling. They are also getting really resinous as well. This may not be a large yield but I am very excited about the flavor these girls will produce. I am going to borrow a friends loupe tomorrow to take a look at the tricomes. I will update soon with how they are looking.
I believe I am headed into the last week. the buds are getting a bit denser and more tricimes. the smell as I said before is very nice.
the yield will be small. I believe these girls are sensitive to overwatering. which has really affected their progress throughout the grow.
looking at the tricomes i think they will be getting chopped next week. if I'm lucky they will add on some decent bulk. thanks for reading and following along.
Due to travel and other things going on in life I will be harvesting in 4 days. I fully believe I have hindered growth due to overwatering. I have 3 beans left and will be trying again with this strain and a few others. I will also be moving to a 3 gallon pot instead of 5. I think that will help dry the soil better as well. totally looking forward to trying this strain as she smells great and has decently dense buds. I'll update the total dry weight after drying. thanks for following along and good luck with your grows!
please, by looking at the burnt looking leaves is the problem nutrients or the light to close or the age of the plant. ot was a small grow because of overwatering I believe. but am I failing in another way as well? thanks in advance. fyi I removed a bunch of dead leaves before.
Yes, happy Plants look different. But she will give you a harvest, and that is very nice. And i agree to your Overwatering. For your next grow, put the pot with the dry soil on a persona scale. then plant the seed and water 50 ml........that should be enough for 3-4 days. Go on for the first week
if your girl is bigger ( 3weeks), give her 150-250 ml ( depends on how big the plant is) and wait for 4-5 days. If you are unsure, weigh your pot again. and just water, if the weigh is the same like day 1. To your fertilisers i cant say anything , but i dont feed them before day 21 that is eraliest for me .Having a big pot should be enough food for 4-5 weeks. And if you start take half or 30 percent of the recommend amount.#
Light is another themeit should be far away so she can build nice nodes. To near makes her dwarfy, to far away dwarfing and burnt.
Its regular mistake for upcoming growers. To muc water, to much nutes, to near to the light. More in the comments
I believe this girl has some great potential based off of what I have seen. The fact that I used a soil only application is possibly what set her a bit back. Along with over watering and 1st grow paranoia I did myself no favors. Overall I did end up with more than I thought I would get towards the end but a fair amount less than I expected when I put the seeds in the ground. The buds smell great when handled and are sticky. Tasted good and smooth right before jarring for cure. Cant wait to try after a proper cure. The effect is a creeper that starts mellow and for me made me really relaxed and not far from bed around 30 mins from 1st toke . Very tranquil feel for me. I will be trying to grow this strain again as I believe this is a winning strain with correct techniques used
