It was a great week. The plants have been doing well and I haven't run into any big issues. Other than watering, I've been keeping busy trying to adjust ventilation and humidity to keep up with the changing stages. Glad to be at flowering now and can keep things set for a while.
I have been watering with nutrients every other day now. 75% strength cal mag, 50% Grow Big, and I started using about 15% strength Tiger Bloom. I'll keep using veg nutes for the first couple weeks of flower while they stretch, and then make the switch to full flowering nutes when they stop growing.
I think it is about time to start lowering lights and maybe switch to 20/4 schedule. Still waiting on the new light to arrive. Then I will probably make the switch when I get it going. According to the gentleman I talked to yesterday, it was going to ship either today or Monday. Looks like Monday. The White Cracks may be starting to flower when it arrives.
The Stiltons are stretching which is making LST much easier. The White Cracks are like little pot bushes. Since this is my first grow, I want to avoid a lot of defoliation. With the exception of a couple of leaves that were blocking multiple bud sites, I've only taken the few dead or dying leaves each plant has had. If I were more experienced, I would probably be taking some leaves from the White Cracks.
@OKgrows, that's the key to it all. Have fun with it and learn from every grow. Seems like you understand this already. Thanks for your kind words and be well.
@Denzul,
Thank you! It has been fun with ups and downs. I keep learning every day and appreciate the help and encouragement. Thanks again and good luck to you as well.
Good luck on your first grow! I currently have 3 White Cracks going too! Also my first go at indoor growing! Grown once before outside with a very poor success rate lol, but the bud that managed to survive was fire! Which is why i decided I couldn't wait until next summer for my second chance! Gona follow along to see how your White Crack do! 2 of mine were really slow to start but have bushed out dramatically after about 2 weeks in flower!
@OKgrows,
Thanks bro! Means alot as a first timer(previously only had a semi succesful outdoor grow last summer). My goal was initially 300g, so 50g per plant. I'm not really sure if i'll make that goal but I'll get close I think(200-250g). I went all in with trying LST as I had never tried it before. Accidentally topped a White Crack adjusting LST and topped a 4AM as it had a wierd growth mutation.
@EelGrows, Thanks! I'll be following yours as well (pretty sure I've already checked it out a couple of times already though). It looks like you will be having plenty of sweet buds! I get excited when I see plants like that. I would be ecstatic to be somewhere in the neighborhood of what you have grown.
Good Luck with your first grow. Judging by your name we may both be in the Sooner state. I’ll be following along to see how your mephisto seeds do. I was really happy with my 4 Assed Monkey and am interested in both the strains you have chosen. Check out my first journal. What lights are you using and what is the actual power consumption if you don’t mind me asking.
@Electro19, Yes, I am just now starting to enjoy one of our new benefits this state allows us. Checking out others experiences here has been a real help in getting me going. I will definitely check out your grows. I am using King LEDs which supposedly use 260W. Hopefully they will produce decent buds until I can properly upgrade.
@@Fingers, Thank you! I have been having fun for the past month or so since I decided to give this a shot. I am still getting that Christmas morning feeling when I go in and peek inside the tent every 15 minutes 😀
