saturday - Week has been fine. Harvested my super OG kush auto by pyramid seeds. All good, is drying in my bathroom currently. The GG ladies look way better than it ever did though, amazing what a difference COBS for flowering makes. They arnt even good COBS, they are rubbish bodged together Chinese chips that cost like 2.50 per chip but such a vast improvement for flowering. they are oozing trich's now.
This will probably be the last week of giving notes for these plants then a 2 week flush. From previous GG grows iv seen it's about an 8-9 week flowerer so I'm hoping 8 weeks will do it coz I have to move flats soon! Luckily where I'm going has a perfect grow room that's bigger than what I'm using atm. Will probably just section it into 1 large area and one small, one flower room, one veg. Looking forward to that for sure.
Will keep updating as things come up but less comes up now really. Just waiting for it to finish now really.
Update - tuesday
Was just hanging out with the ladies and i realised. I'm seriously impressed with the 4 x 50w cheap chinese COB LED's. Having harvested the auto i grew mainly under a CFL, the difference between that plant and these is just night and day. Considering i spent no more than £12 on my lights, it is pretty incredible. Now im not saying these cheap cobs are as efficient as the more expensive samsung and cree cobs BUT the trich production on these is beautiful. Even if these lights all conked out and died after this rounds harvest and i have to pay another £12 for another set i w ould still be winning ( that hopefully wont happen.)
Im looking forward to expanding a little bit in my new flat and am glad i can atleast go one run with cheap lighting and use that harvest to invest in some better more efficient cob chips. :)
Incredible really...
Update- Wednesday
So if just been hanging out with the ladies and I noticed that plant 2's ( middle plant) pistols have gone orange. Looks beautiful. Nice to see its coming towards the end I must say. Still waiting for my jewellers loupe to check for trich development but I'm pretty certain I'm going to start flushing as next week starts and aim to have be harvesting around week 12
Update - Sunday
Am waiting for my lights to come on so I can do my weekly update along with photos.
I'm really excited as I plucked a popcorn bud early, around the time I harvested the auto and dried it. I tested it in my vaporiser over the past few days and I'm seriously impressed.
I was quite worried when I harvested the auto and it wasnt very good. Its amazing how different this small immature bud tasted compared to the auto.
I made butter from the auto instead. It was ok just weak so I added it to some other bette bud and made coconut oil.
Good luck on this grow adventure! Hopefully it will help you save the money you need for your desired setup 😊 I got a grow tent kit from Amazon which came with 600w HPS, 1.2m x 1.2m grow tent, carbon filter, extraction fan and that saved me a whole load of money than buying each part individually!
May be the best solution for you to save some dollar! Have a look around as there are some pretty good deals for HPS especially for beginner growers! Best of luck!
Iv been brewing some compost tea over the past few days. It’s Absolutely incredible how fast they have grown in the short amount of time it’s been since I gave them some some. Really happy with that! Trying to add photos but I’m on my phone and can’t figure out how on the mobile version of the site! I’ll do it later though
Anyone got any ideas whats wrong with my kush auto? Iv increased feed from 2ml/l to 3ml/l over the past couple of days and it doesnt seem to be lessening massively. I also fed it dilute epsom salts once which didnt hurt but didnt help.
Do i need to increase my veg nutes even more than i already have? Is it that simple? Iv already plucked the first 1 finger leaves, should i pluck them and then i know if there is any more yellow its new growth? That would make sense to me actually, i may have just worked out the solkution by typing to myself.
Iv increased feed but didnt pluck the old yellow leaves so i doknt actually know if either of the things i did worked.
Please chime in anyway if u cab help!
Thanks for the kind words. Yeh 5 girls would be ace. That would stretch me to maximum capacity...atleast. Am imorre liky to get herms growing bagseeds? Iv only done it once. Got some. Eautifuk fruity bud but it had some seeds. Have a feeling these might br the same , hope not.
