Was getting too hot during day, so they'll be sleeping during the day. Had to add in the humidifier for temps and dryness

Started off the week with the first full nutrient feeding for all the plants and for the next feeding I gave them only a pH adjusted feeding so some lower leafs yellowed. Transplanted to 5 gallon pots sprinkling great white onto the root bounding and breaking up the root ball a small bit. So far they look healthy but are a bit small, I would like to think they'll get nice and healthy once they're roots start to spread and as the nutes get bumped up this coming week. March 24, 2019

Started the week off giving the first nute mix at 1/4 strength and with the slight clawing in plants F and D next watering will be plain

All of the plants are looking healthy, took the clones as well as their first defoliation and they responded well to it and seem to be bouncing back. Watered with a 1/2 strength nutrient mix before cutting the clones and defoliation. Plant C is turning out to be a runt and I will most likely be flowering it with the others but not growing out the clones.

Getting solid growth in all, starting to fill up the whole space, hoping the clones root soon so I can move out the dome while they finish vegging for maybe another week or two

Noticed aphids, mixed a spray of 2 teaspoons of Spinosad per liter of water and sprayed during dark period 3 days in a row. No signs of more since. Got the first 10 clones put into solo cups and starting to veg out. A few more have popped roots out by the end of the week but I'll hold off unless I need to get them growing. Decided to cull plant C because it was too small and I'm running out of veg space. Going to let the rest veg for another week and then put them in the flower room, starting to drop off the nitrogen nutes.

Got the last week of vegging done for the plants and switched to flowering. Clones are under the veg light but I have it turned down a bit so their growth isn't so rapid.

First week of flowering started. Plants A, D and F are females Plants B and C are males They are growing really nicely and stretching out a bit. They are just over a foot from the glass. Starting to dial down the micro grow to get a little less nitrogen in there as well as bumping up the tiger bloom for the phosphorus and potassium. Overall they look really healthy and transitioning nicely to flower.

Week 2 of flower and the pistils are starting to shoot out. I've been watering pretty consistent every other day, F drinks a lot and gets thirsty the quickest. Clones are pretty big and the light is dimmed down a bit, I'll transplant them up to I think 3 gallon pots soon Lollipped a good 6 inches off the bottom of the plants over the 2 cuttings and they look good and healthy, in the next coue weeks they will start getting into their full development.

Week 3 of flowering and they are looking good. Nice development of pistils, but I noticed a bit of leaf curling so been putting a little less Nitrogen in the mix. Clones got transplanted to 3 gallon pots and I think that I'll run with them from now on for how they fit in my space. About to bump up the P and K in the mix to and hope to see some growth from it. Otherwise all is well on to the end of the first month.

Week 4 of flower growing strong getting close to the light and eating a lot. Notice small N burn on A, gave one feed no Grow Big in the mix. F is putting on the biggest size buds, while D is already putting on a lot of frost. Clones happy in the three gal pots, going to top and defoliate them soon, also need to give them a bit more soil.

Week 5 and more good growth, coming into the week D was the only one with trichomes and now at the end of week 5 they all are getting frosty. They are drinking a lot of water and may start watering every day and see how they respond. A is showing some nutrient burn and is a bit dark, while D and F are both lighting up and getting a yellow tint to them, I'll keep a close eye but I may need to create different mixes for each plant. Clones got chopped down a bit and defoliated as well as getting some more soil to come a little closer to topping them off.

Good week of growth definitely starting to see some fattening of the buds, D is still the widest Bit of underwatering due to my scheduling so there were a bit of yellow leaves throughout and many dead or dying leaves too which are removed and with some extra feeding seem pretty happy. Clones are looking good after trimming widening up a lot going some from the FIMming but they'll grow out nicely.

Getting pretty dense throughout and developing some nice frost. Alot of yellowing and some dead leaves. About to start the decline of nutes for flush. Sprayed the clones with a Spinosad mix

Week 8 and all is going well, trichomes are showing throughout and getting frosty, still mostly clear, tons of pistils throughout also. A is growing the widest and seems to have the most trichomes at this point, also has the least yellowing so may be a light feeder. D is growing the biggest and probably the most dense buds that are real round. Many pistols and they are the first to start browning. Slightly more yellowing than A but not bad. F is definitely the tallest also it has the most pistils by far but the least trichomes at this point, it has yellowed more than the others and is growing long banana shaped buds. Vegging clone are healthy and with the clones I got from them I went and put a heavy defoliation to them for this last stretch before their flowering and then the clones will be ready to go in veg soon after.

Week 9 and they are packing on just a bit more and filling in trichomes. Lots of yellowing from the flush also some curled up dead leaves. Trichomes pretty much all cloudy almost none clear, so the amber should start coming in this week, going for about 20% amber before cutting the lights for a day and then chopping.

After having my first plant that I gave hose water and sunlight be cut in half by a caterpillar, and my first indoor plant to get botrytis. This has been my first fully successful harvest and I couldn't be happier. Been listing to all of the GFYH podcast with Rasta Jeff and learned most of the steps through listening on repeat at work. This plant is very fun to grow, it will naturally fill it's canopy without much LST and occasionally topping. I have no complaints about the nutrients, mostly using FoxFarm items, the trio is nice and I can see the difference when I pushed to far either way with them, the plants would respond pretty quickly and I could fix and possibly compensate for the mistake and they would bounce back like nothing. Not having experience with other brands I'll say that I am happy enough to keep it as a constant variable for my personal refinement in becoming a better grower. I plan to continue growing this strain for a while so that I can have a way to see my improvement, and I will likely make another journal after at least a couple harvests.
