My first ever grow! I'm a complete noob so I hope I don't mess up too much! Mixed Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose (1/3 strength) in Promix HP. Did not water until I feel there was dryness in the soil. First couple days was struggling to keep the temp and humidity in check and I think I stunned the seedlings in the beginning with cold buckets and soil :/ Using a cheap Amazon LED grow light which is actually pretty decent with only the veg lights on for now. Will turn on both veg and bloom and change to 24hr when the girls get bigger :)
Two other strains are Auto RPK and AUTO Emperor J from Oasis (forgot which is in which bucket :)
One of the strains still looks tiny comparing to the other two but it's making meaningful progress. I got a couple fungus gnats this week probably due to high humidity and soil stayed constantly wet. Took the humidifier out and let the soil dry for a couple days and the problem has improved significantly. Watered 2L in total today. Will see if that's enough in a couple of days.
Started LST on day 23. Pretty confused as to how to do this so I just pulled the main branch to one side trying to expose the lower nodes to more light. Hope they stretch out more so I can have more room to work with. Oasis 1 is becoming pretty bushy and I topped her on day 23. The more nodes she grows the more confused I become lol. Amnesia is starting to preflower (probably started on day 25/26 as I started noticing some faint smell). Oasis 2 is catching up nicely this week. Started to feed them 1ml/2L of FloraNova Bloom along with the usual.
Top dressed some 4-4-4 Gaia Green Organic All Purpose on Wed and fed 2L ph'd water. Fed again today with the usual. All of them are flowering now. Hope they'll stretch more as two girls are still pretty small. Did some defoliation on the two bigger girls. Starting to smell a bit more so probably will attach the carbon filter next week :)
Defoliated lower branches and some fat leaves. Fed 3L on Friday. Fungus gnats are coming back! Sprayed some neem oil today and let's see if it works! All the girls are stretching nicely and slowly filling the tent. Will increase bloom nutes in coming weeks!
Amnesia is getting frosty and sticky! The other girls are catching up but don't look like they'll be as frosty (poor genetics maybe?). They are all drying out faster than before. Fed them 4L once on Wednesday then oasis 2 started to show yellow tips (probably nute burn?) So today I only fed her ph'd water while the other girls got 3L of light nutes.
Amnesia is getting more sticky. I cannot touch the leaves without getting my fingers all sticky! And wow it sure smells great! The other girls aren't sticky at all hope they catch up soon! Oasis 2 gets droopy even after I fed her. I suspect it's because of the small bucket causing root bound? I now feed them every 3-4 days with 1.5-2L of light nutes. Hope I don't overwater or underwater them!
Oasis 1 and 2 are becoming sticky and frosty. Amnesia is fattening up a lot. Gave the girls some much needed defoliation and the bud sites are receiving more light! I'm getting more confident by the day haha. I'm going on a vocation in 10 days so maybe I'll chop one girl and leave the other two girls to my mom to care for until I come back.
I'll go on vocation for 3 weeks so will let my mom take care of the girls. Amnesia will probably be chopped on day 80 (as per breeder's info). Will update y'all after I'm back. Cheers!
Chopped Amnesia on day 97. Plant stayed short and small but smells great! Dried for around 1 week and got 30 grams final weight. Probably dried a bit too much so I'll wait after it's cured before vaping. The other two girls are both chopped and drying. Will report back with final weights later!
Edited on Mar 17, 2019: Oasis 1 dry weight 60g, Oasis 2 dry weight 30g. So I totally got 90g out of all three girls. Though the buds are not the fattest and densest I'm quite happy with my first grow. I'm not a daily user so I think this harvest will last me quite awhile haha! Make some cup cakes the other day using some trims and I was stoned for hours that night. Next time probably need to chop them earlier as I don't want to be too stoned for hours.
Oasis #2 is finally coming around! All of your little plants look pretty healthy. There is a really nice website that will help you with your LST knowledge. https://www.growweedeasy.com/
There are lots of different ways to train your plants. Your goal is to get as many bud sites at the top of the canopy as possible. Topping and training the main stalk to grow at an angle all work really well.
unlucky mine are at same stage as yours just harvested had to upgrade from 100w to 400w to get anywhere with 5 plants not dried yet but got roughly 1-3 ounces off each one theyre all different sizes my first grow too my advice invest in some canna chemicals and have atleast 150w a plant and a good tent that helped me i think in total from all 5 ive got about 250g give or take well done though you didnt kill it and you got weed.
Your girls are looking good! I’ve got an Amnesia from Canuk that is only a couple days behind yours and she’s getting big but hasn’t really started flowering yet. Thinking I ended up getting a photoperiod instead of an auto as my free seed. Either way, yours are looking pretty good.
Looking good ! Keep up the good work they've grown so much in such a short time . I really like the way its documented as well ! Best of luck on you're grow.
-Happy Growing!
Really healthy looking plants! Even Oasis #2 has finally come around. I really like this Amnesia strain you are growing. Its so short! Maybe my strain will be short as well. One can only hope.
Your sprouts look great! Nice little fat leaves. I wouldn't worry about your little runt. She will catch up I'm sure. I don't know anything about your Oasis strain, but I have a few Amnesia Auto seeds that I'm going to grow in the spring. Be warned; The plant will get pretty large if you don't train it.
I have problems with soil gnats as well. My son brought them into the house when he brought his houseplants home from college last summer. I bought some of that yellow sticky paper. It comes in 6x9 sheets and you can cut it to size. I paperclip the sticky paper to the side of my canvas pots. I'll catch a few here and there. I try to do the same thing that you do though, don't overwater, and keep an eye on my soil.
Oasis #2 is having a tough go of it! The pictures don't show that she is diseased or anything. Have you looked on the breeder's website to see if there are any issues with mutations, or unstable genetics. She looks healthy enough, just tiny and the growth is stunted.
@Quexos,
Yes it is definitely stunted! Not a clue about mutation or unstable genetics. It's my first grow so I'll just chill and go with the flow and see if she catches up haha.
