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
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.
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
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!
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.
Today I gave my plants a watering with half the recommended feeding and in was 760ppm and I got 2800 ppm in the runoff???? No burnt tips and they seem to be growing
It's common in coco with mineral food , as coco require feeding at each watering so you'r gonna experiment some salt build-up if she's eating less than what you give , I had that issue with my coco attempt. I would low my nutrient input until the runoff value get lower ( 50% for the 2 next watering ) and then feed as usual or just a bit less than usual and if It's ok then increase the level and check the runoff to correct the input 😊
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
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
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!
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.
I noticed some white growth in middle of buds and am wondering if it is bleaching? I posted a couple pictures of the buds. I did move the light up. Was at 28" but some that have the white are over 30" away. MFG says 30-42 away from plants. I can't go any farther and I'm at 30
Icant see anything that is concerning in your Grow, and yes the Girls got a little Lightburn, bur you rised already your Light.Look for good airflow during the Flowering and watch the RH, and you will have a very Nice Harvest
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
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!
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
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 .
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.
Found this strain fairly easy to grow . I bought 5 seeds and 6 plants grew. One i cloned off the twin plant and flowered with these ladies. She was a bit smaller but still had a good amount of quality buds. I was amazed that the twin plants were so different from each other. One faded yellow the other purple. The structure of the buds was also different and one had way more frost! Would definitely recommend this strain and will grow again!
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.
Good to know they wont get much much taller, mine are just starting their second week of 12/12. They really do explode with bushiness, I'm just barely fitting 2 of these girls and a frisian dew in a 2X4X8 closet space.
Will be following this, closest setup to mine I could find anyways, cheers👍.
Ok during the reading of your diary i found why they are burnt... kind xl 1000 W Led,, this is 650 true Watt,,this are very good and Powerful Led, and they are slightly burned, you noticed that very fast. The Viparspectra 600 got only 300 true Watts, its a biig difference, but the Viparspectra is very good to rise the next seedlings!!

My god they got fat quick on you, this strain looks like it might hold true to it's advertised 56 day flowering period, has held up on trich production and girth anyhow.
@Johnnyb__blazin,your girls are 3-4 weeks from harvestt..... if you stop feeding one week before its good in coco,,, and start flushing. After curing the buds for 3 weeks they are "clean".
@Mrs_Larimar, what about in the plant itself? Will there be nutrients left in end product if I do short flush. Will take the advice tho and continue feed for now
@Johnnyb__blazin,in my opinion its way to early to flush, and for coc a few days up to a week is enough, because coco does not tend to get buildups its way"cleaner" than. i would wait until all trichs are cloudy and then start flushing
@Lazuli, I've also found a product called purecrop 1 to control mold. I had very bad pm on my outdoor, used the pure crop twice and it pretty much went away
@Lazuli, did use. Dehumidifier as it was making room way too hot but it was winter and very dry outside the grow room so I cranked the exhaust and that really helped
@Stickyfingers420, I was using co2, had no issue during veg but once in flower I had some issues with bleaching on the tops. I was about 26" at that point but ran out of room to raise light
I was wondering if you used a different soil for the twin plant? Or anything else? Genotypes in action!
Anyway well done on this bountiful harvest!
Enjoy!
@Eauderay, everything was the exact same , they were even side by side in the room. Only thing that happened different now that I'm thinking about it....I tried to top all the plants and I ended up fiming all them except the one twin I actually topped it.
Woah, just looked up your Kind LED, that thing is a beast! I'm running on a Mars 720 +100W bulb to supplement missing coverage, gonna be interested to see how our two grows match up in the end.
Yours are looking great! I love the Glueberry genetics, hope to see how they finish
@KommanderKeen, I have one of the plants under a 600 viparspecra and there is a noticeable difference. Not as much frost and seems a bit behind the others. Getting near the end now! Smell very strong! A fruity/sweet smell.
I'm curious, what are you using to de-humidify your room right now? Mine likes to jump to 55% for a couple days after feeding, usually just counteract by leaving room door open and venting more air
@KommanderKeen, I have my intake set up in my garage and I have a dehumidifier in there that I keep at 40 . It does raise in there to about 47 after watering. I make sure to vacuum my runoff so there's no unwanted humidity too. I tried dehumidifier in room but got too hot
@teddaykgb, the stretch has slowed finally but got way bigger than expected. Originally I had them in a 3x4 room and thought they would fit fine.....they are now in a 6x4 and it's full .it's an indica dominant and was told this strain would likely grow 1.5x during stretch.. they grew 3x
Nice looking grow, especially for your first time. I know people that have spent years to get the understanding around plants that you seem to have.
Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to seeing your harvest! :D
@Tried_and_Tested, thanks ! Been asking lots of questions along the way. Trying to be patient. And I out a lot of focus into my environment. The local hydroponics store has been big help and the community on here.
@BigDaddyK, I hear you on that. I had them crammed into 4'x3' area but the room I built is 4'x6'. Rearranged and added another light now I have then spread over 5x4 area still fills it up
I'm in the ending stretches of of veg with my first indoor photo grow (2 years of indoor & outdoor with autos, 1 outdoor grow photos) - looking at the way your girls bushed out in week 5-6-7 there -- holy Crow! I maybe should've skipped the middle transplant and have gone straight to 5 gallons..
.
GREAT work!!! Seriously - you are crushing this. Keep it up!!
@Benji, thanks! Been soaking up all the tips and getting lots of help from the guys at local hydroponics store. Having a ton of fun watching these ladies grow.
@MaryJaneUSA, thanks yeah I've been a bit worried about that. I do have some space to spread out a bit but the got pretty bushy fast. I topped them one week ago today and was told I should wait two weeks before flipping. I don't think I should have topped when I did but too late now
Love the grow! Im just on my second myself, soaking up all the tips and tricks.
You could probably put some Mylar reflective film on your interior walls to get more out of your lights. You can get it from most home improvement stores.
@@Schnarlz, thanks! I did look into mylar but there's lots of information supporting that the white plastic is just as if not more reflective. I did move light up a bit to get more spread and part of problem is I don't have it secured well
