4K for grow three

Transplanted solo cup seedling to 5 gallon pot and set her up in the 2x2 from the nursery. I hadn’t watered in a few days so the soil/root mass crumbled a bit during the transplant but I was gentle so hopefully the roots were not damaged. Seedling grew well in the nursery, which was nice.

She grew well her first week of veg after transplanting to her final home in a 5 gallon pot. Supplementing with extra cal mag for now still and using recharge once a week.

She’s been growing well this week. I’ve been increasing the intensity of the light over the week to the next level. I topped her this week, and she’s been responding well since. I supplemented with cal mag this week still but am done with that until I flip the lights to 12-12.

Plant grew well this week. Will plan on having a scrog net around 10” over the soil line, so I’ll likely place it in the next few days as the nodes continue to grow. Temps are hovering between 71-72 during the day. I was planning on flipping the lights next week but I think I may give her an extra week to allow the branches to fill the net and I don’t think she’ll grow enough in the next week for what I’d like.

Set up the net and started to scrog. Was planning on flipping to flower today but decided to let her veg a few more days to get the net a bit better established before she starts to stretch. Defoliated and removed all of the lower nodes. I’ll likely flip in a few days after she’s recovered.

Decided to flip the lights to 12-12 a few days after my last entry based on how full the canopy was with the plant still in veg. I’ve kept the canopy under the net pretty aggressively and she’s responding well. I’ve begun bumping up the light intensity for 30 minutes a day to slowly boost the DLI until she’s big enough for me to leave the light up permanently. I plan on keeping the scrog going almost the entire three weeks of stretch, as my last grow I let off too early and the canopy was messier than I wanted after it was all said and done.

Flowering continued this week. Plant is stretching but I continue to tuck all of the tops and new growth under the net. Conditions are pretty dialed in. I’m supplementing cal mag still and will do so for another week until the stretch is done.

Continued keeping new growth horizontal under the net. Today (day 20F) I stopped tucking and will let the flowers grow up from here on. I continue to water every other day, and feeding recharge once a week. I’ve been defoliating lightly the past few days, taking fan leaves that were blocking flowers. Today, I gave a heavier defoliation, more aggressively removing blocking leaves and removed any lower buds that were not reaching the light to avoid any larf in my harvest.

Flowers grew nicely this week. I defoliated throughout the week to keep all of the flowers open to the light. No calcium deficiencies that I can see yet, so tbe plan is working so far!

Largely a maintenance week. Watered every other day, once a week with recharge. I removed most of the remaining lower fan leaves this week because they were getting sad and wilty underneath the canopy. Canopy ended up pretty even. Not perfect, but the most uneven parts are a few taller colas around the edges, so they actually are getting a similar amount of light because they aren’t directly under the light.

Plant grew as expected this week. Lower fan leaves that remained under the canopy started fading hard. I removed ones that showed damage but left the ones that are just yellowing for now. I don’t think it’s a nutrient or ph issue as the canopy leaves, buds, and sugar leaves are all looking good as far as I can tell. I’m going to up my watering frequency the next week or so as the buds are reaching peak growth. I’ll taper down to every other day again if I notice any negative effects.

Today is day 48 of flower. Buds are growing nicely. The lower fan leaves that were left are senescing and turning yellow. Most have proceeded to fall off naturally, like fall leaves on a tree. The upper fans, sugar leaves, and buds all appear completely normal still and are not stressed at all so I’m not concerned it’s anything but normal fall colors. I’m liking the nice colors! I haven’t gotten any pictures that do them justice so I haven’t included any in my uploads.
