First grow

Johnnyb__blazin Seeds put into glass of water jan8/18. The germination process starts. This is my first attempt at growing cannabis. Using sunshine mix 4 and medi 1part

Johnnyb__blazin Working out kinks in the grow room. Had exhaust fan set to off over night and I have a mist humidifier...well I woke up to 99% humidity in the room and looked like it was raining in there.

Johnnyb__blazin Tough conditions this week. Grow room is in my garage and this week we hit -30c. Holding humidity and temperature was pretty hard. Temps were swinging from 22-28 due to 15 degree intake air and space heater on off cycle. Intake air was also 15%. My solution was to exhaust air back into garage and recover the heat and humidity that was going outside. Upgraded my LED lighting from viparspecra 600w to kind xl1000

Johnnyb__blazin Started using house and garden cocos a/b and root excelerator at start of week. Plants are really starting to take off now. 4 of 7 plants are showing sex!

Johnnyb__blazin Plants really starting to shape up. Used some lst and topping this week. Noticed some holes in the leaves showing up so I sprayed the ladies with some end all.

Johnnyb__blazin Ladies are coming along well. All are showing sex. No males as expected. Giving cloning a go for the first time. Almost time to flip. I'm going to give another week

Johnnyb__blazin The ladies have been flipped. Was going to wait till end of week but they are getting a bit big for my space. Forgot to mention at start of diary that one of the seeds grew two plants!! Both growing well. Added some co2 to my grow space as well. Picture make room look dark because I have method 7 glasses infront of camera to fix the color

Johnnyb__blazin To start the week I spread the ladies out taking advantage of the full room and added another light to hit the far side of room. Now room has viparspectra 600w and kind xl 1000. Room is 6'x4'. End of week 8 and they just keep stretching! 12" in 7 days buds are starting to form and lots of bud sites!

Johnnyb__blazin To start the week I gave the ladies a light defoliation, lot more bud sites able to get light now and breathe. Added dehumidifier to bring humidity down.

Johnnyb__blazin Well a couple issues in the grow room this week. The ladies got much bigger that I had expected! They trippled in size and now I have an issue of them getting a bit too tall. The light I am using says 30-36" above canopy...light is high as it can go and I'm about 28-32 above the canopy. From the info I've looked through I think I had light bleaching going on. I turned the light down 20% and doesn't seem to be happening any more. I am also having a war with the weather. I'm in canada and the weather is all over the place rite now. Drastic temp swings and humidity up and down. Other than this the ladies seem to be rolling along well . Can't wait for the colas to fill ! Staked all the branches in preparation for some hopefully big buds

Johnnyb__blazin Mid week now and ladies are starting to bulk up a bit. Haven't seen much upward growth the last few days but buds are getting bigger and filling in the tops. Very thirsty this week!

Johnnyb__blazin Plants are moving along very nicely. Starting to see brown hairs here and there. I looked at trics under microscope and they look like there getting cloudy . Starting my flush in a few days. Going to give them 2 week of just pH RO water. Love the smell when I open the door. Some tops have a bit of light bleaching but not too many

Johnnyb__blazin Went with half nutrient feed this week. Tops are getting nice and solid! Smell is amazing! Near end of week many of the hairs are starting to turn brow and some purple coming out in the plants .

Johnnyb__blazin Started flush this week! Things are finishing up nicely. Some of the phenos are getting a purple fade and look amazing. The smell is getting very potent. Finnish line is in sight. Just being patient now.

Johnnyb__blazin Wahoo!!! Made it to the end of my first grow. So exciting! Trimming was a lot more tedious than expected but we'll worth it. Other than figuring out the ropes and controlling environment this strain grew very easy for me. It was winter here so bugs werent really on the list . The smell from these ladies is very potent!!!!! I am going to cure for a few weeks before I try some( say that now but..) I tried out making some bubble hash and the taste is just like the smell of the plant and the high was strong! I really hope that's what is to expect of the bud as well. The high from the bubble hash was very happy feeling, talkative but couch locking at the same time. Thanks everyone for your tips along the way. I feel like my harvest was pretty successful.
