I’m going to try doing journals for each strain of this my 2nd grow. Might repeat pictures for the first few weeks but will focus on each plants once they get some good growth behind them. *this is attempt #2 and will just be updating the original journals with the new pics

*Day 15 Watering today and with half the recommended nutrients. Adding B-52 into the mix now and will be interesting to see what it does over the coming days. If all works out nicely and growth continues to go well, I will be able to start mainlining by the end of the week. *Day 17 I’m going to go ahead and remove the weeks of 4-12 from my first attempt. The site thinks I’m inactive with my updates and I’m worry they might close them down as abandoned journals. Day 18 just a light watering for the new plants. Also added 6ml more Cal-Mag and a teaspoon and a half of blackstrap molasses to my gallon of water. Should see a nice boost in growth tomorrow I think. Day 20 added 3tbsp of dried/grounded up eggshells to the soil tops. Half my plants are showing some calcium deficiency and hoping this will help out in curbing my problem. Will be upping my Cal-Mag with my next watering for sure

Day 22 Watering day with nutrients. Pretty much keeping everything the same as last, but upped my Cal-Mag by 4ml/gal to help hopefully curb my calcium problem seen on half my plants. Think in a few days I can finally start my mainlining too. Day 24 and I have started the mainlining process. Here we go again Day 25 watered again today but with 1tbsps per gallon of Blackstrap Molasses added Day 28 don’t be concerned about that white stuff. Saw something growing under some leaves on my Fruity Pebbles and sprayed down all my plants with the non toxic silica repellent. (Used in my first grow too) Plus I’ve decided that I will make this a Quadline grow to speed up my vegging time hopefully by a week over my last attempt. Look good so far I think

Day 29 watering day with nutrients today, and I will be keeping them where they sat last week. Seeing some great healthy growth and why ruin a good thing. . . again Day 31 Well it’s no longer a Quadline. Training caused one of the limbs to snap right off like a Barbie doll arm. Tried to reattach but no luck. Removed the huge fan leaves to help out in easing the training Day 33 watering day with 2tbsp of Blackstrap Molasses once again.

Day 36 Watering day with nutrients. Going to try something new by splitting the total feed over 2 waterings. So half the recommended nutrients today and the other half come Saturday/Sunday Day 38 just a little bit of water Day 41 today was watering day with the 2nd half of the nutrients being added. Brought down my lights a bit too. Just to see if I can get my branches to stretch a little faster

Day 44 watering day and will be doing the same as last week. I will be dividing the nutrients over 2 feeds for the week with a small watering between Day 47 watering day with the other half of nutrients BUT I kept out the B-52 and added a little Tiger Bloom instead. I’m going to switch over to flowering on Thursday and I’m going to keep B-52 out for the first 2 weeks of feed as it may hinder some growth with the switch. (According to AN site) Would do another week of veg but my supply is getting low and they look good enough to produce a good yield

Day 50 so I double checked and then I checked again. Yep, I’m set up for flowering this time, I swear. For those joining late, this is my 2nd time growing from seed after killing them all (minus the Black Sugar) with a stupid watering with a little vinegar added. Plus I had replaced my power bar but forgot to plug my lights back into my timer. Thought I had switched to flowering but saw no flowering happening after 2-3. Anyways, mistakes were made and now we are here. No B-52 for the next 2 weeks, but Bud Candy has been added to the mix. Day 55 had to water everyone just before lights off last night. They were given their other half of this week’s nutrients and 2 tbsp of Blackstrap Molasses. Looked happy happy happy this morning

Day 57 just a small plain watering today. Give them a break from the nutrients Day 61 watered today with nutrients. Was seeing some burned tips on a few plants, but not many. So I’m a dialling back the nutrients this week by almost half. Also added a 2nd SCROG netting which I hope these girls will eventually grow to need. Mostly being used to train my much larger Black Sugar plant at the moment

Day 65 pistols are really starting to show now. Also gave them a nice drink of BSM and Cal/Mag today. Tomorrow’s pics should be interesting to see Day 68 another watering but on the lighter side with some BSM and a little bit of Tiger Bloom Day 70 and they were thirsty. So I gave them a watering today with nutrients and welcome back B-52 into the mix. Hopefully I do t hurt them cause it is for late in blooming but I gave them a sip of Overdrive as well

Day 74 just a little watering today with the usual 2Tbsp of BSM added to 2G of water Day 76 that extra light in the tent is really making things warm in there, and drying the plants a little bit. Gotta figure something out soon, but it made them thirsty. So I did my water with my cal/mag, Bud candy and tiger bloom. Will probably get the other nutrients at this rate on Thursday

Day 79 Well things don’t look pretty right now. My tent got too warm with the 2nd light added, and now I’m just going to keep off and raise the Quantum Board higher for all. Got near the 90F in there (about 10-15F higher before it added) Plus I should of watered everyone last night, but it’s been completed now with all nutrients. I also topped almost all my colas and will see if they will start to back bud into big fat colas in the end. Hopefully tomorrow’s pics will look a little nicer Day 80 that’s better everyone. Nice recovery and the smell is just wonderful now coming from the tent. Viparspectra light will be left off for the remainder of grow. Temps have dropped from 90 to 78 in the tent and they aren’t showing any signs of heat stress Day 82 they were thirsty and not making the same mistake I did earlier this week. So it was a watering with a little Cal/Mag, B-52, Overdrive and Blackstrap Molasses

Day 85 today was a watering day with all nutrients. Plus I got a new toy and can now provide a nice close look at my frosty buds Day 88 another watering day. Only using BSM and about 3ml/G of Overdrive as well. Also using cold water instead of room temp to see if I can shock some colours out of them. Guess we will see over the coming days or weeks Day 91 watering day again. Did some Overdrive, Tiger Bloom, Bud Candy and 2Tbsp of BSM. Continuing to watering with cold water from the tap in hopes of some cool colouring.

Day 94 watering day and just using some Bud Candy and 3Tbsp of BSM. Probably done using nutrients and will be in flush mode but might keep using the BSM over the coming weeks. Day 97 everyone in the tent was looking a little thirsty and so it was just a simple watering of cold water. No nutrients and no BSM.

Just harvested July 6th. Only got 133g wet and will report back once dried and have given a taste. Too much popcorn bud and I need to lollipop next time, as I think it cost me some grams. Expect the score to change as well

Tried Quadlining, snapped a limb, and didn’t do much training or lollipop with them. I think had my first try survived my harvest would of been higher by just mainlining. Will be doing so for my grows going forward from seed

Hey dude looking good. I was gonna ask, have you considered folding down the rims of your pots so that the bottom of the plant can get some air and light? I'm also mainlining my Gorilla Zkittles. I've been following your grow but didn't have chance to make an account on here until today. I'm gonna flip mine about a week after you (next Friday). Our girls look pretty similar. If you're interested in taking a look, I've been documenting my grow on a different site (found this website too late) I'll send you a link.

@EhCndGrower, cool man that makes sense. I sent you my journal over the chat, let me know what you think.
EhCndGrower
EhCndGrowercommented6 years ago
@capitolp, Never thought of doing that. I left them up because I never knew if my training would eventually require me to use the sides to keep them down. I’m thinking with the defoliating I’ve been doing that the flowering stretch will give me the airflow they will need eventually. Best of luck with your grow

no expert here, but i think she would be better of, if you just feed her with water when ever she is dry, and only start feeding her when you first see some signs on your leaves that she indeed needs food. More, over while i don't know what lights you use, i would have given her 24/7 light to maximize growth. I am just saying this because for a plant that is over a month old she seems really small and i get a feeling that you might be over protective of her, let her starve a little bit. Just sharing my nobbish experience, what ever you decide doing i hope it goes all well for you, and wishing you happy growing! :)
the end.
