Its clear at this point that Big Lemon is root bound bc i did not transfer her into 7gal w/One Shot. So, this week she is recovering from a calcium deficiency because my (now former) hydro store completely lagged on my 5 gal of Herc. Damn you , ZenHydro!!!! Hence, lots of sacrificed and cooked leaves, but of course the buds are fine 😎.

Clawing can have alot of Reasons, overwatering, underwatering, and Nitrogen excess. for not knowing how much nutes you use, i cant say no more to you. If you add pictures in natural light and your feeding schedule ican say more

@Bossy_Marmalade You know how to grow! It seems crazy that no one has commented yet on what may be @growdiaries biggest indoor plant ever! Maybe because blurple light pictures are hard to look at. Add white light when taking pics and people will love this!! Kudos to you and @philosopherseeds! Makes me want to buy those seeds, and I haven’t bought seeds in years cuz I breed my own.

Thanks for checking up on her, @growdoctordc. I remember you were the first to comment on her glory. Her buds are very very dense, and the smoke is top quality. I miss seeing her in my tent every day. Can you believe I didnt win one of GD's grow of the month give away competition?!?! Im tempted to repeat the experiment since I still have that custom tent installation. 😎

I use nftg liquid bone meal... great source of p and ca. My bottle smells like a combination of old piss and pepto bismol, what does yours smell like?

Oh you definitely should consider BK, its really unbelievable especially as a foliar. Get ready for them to put on some height too; foliar in veg makes em bushy less space bw flower sites as well as a bunch more flower sites; then, root drench in flower makes em stretch to enlongate dem bud sites. However, you always want to go like 6:1 of Herc and BK for drench to begin and then bump up from there. Also, your soil is huge when using BK, bc if their isnt enough Calcium the plant gets really sad real quick. I reccomend adding some One Shot in their to keep things good. Never use BK with a slurry test of below 200ppms.

@Bossy_Marmalade, not running bloom chaos, but it isn’t too late for me to start. Please tell me your findings.

Oh hell yea! Big ups to my #NFTG fam, @800peace!I use Herculean Harvest too, and a ton of it! There is nothing else out there like it. the piss smell is something ive heard people report. I believe it is starting to react with air and stuff bc its been around for a bit. At least thats what ive heard people say. I get the pepto tho lol! Are you running Bloom Khaos!?!?!

Great growing! Great use of side lighting... I might start using that idea. Looking forward to following your grow. Oh, what nutes are you using?

NFTG liquid bone meal. From my understanding, molasses feeds the microbes in the soil, not necessarily the plant. I amended the soil with myco and bacteria, and feed in twice per month.

@800peace, I saw your nutes, What liquid bone meal do you use? is it hydrolyzed? fyi the molasses molecule is super super huge rock to the stomata of the root system, thus your soil will take like 3 weeks to break it down. However, by introducing Microbe Life Photosynthesis Plus and/or SLF-100 you can break down large molecules. That said, I recommend ditching the molasses all together as it doesnt work. Thats an old growers trick from the 70s. In chemistry, we have moved beyond these techniques that simply plump up plants with sugar/carb weight that is lost in drying process.Instead, it is wiser to build up the plant cell walls (ie every part of the plant structure including buds) with an element like calicum which is not mobile within the plant and contributes to denser, more potent bud bc the plant can actually use calcium to build cell walls. Sugar does nothing.

its a nice Girl, icant see big issues....but its difficult in the purple light, to see anything. atm she looks pretty good

Thanks for taking a peak, @Mrs_Larimar! Yea with that light its hard to tell by the leaf tips that the plant is eating itself 😩 She took some damage since then, lots of necrosis so gave her a good trim. Things are looking better now, ill post an update vid soon, hopefully with more white light

Amazing grow man. The buds look lovely! I think I’m gonna gets some lemon og candy seeds myself for the next grow. Keep up the good work man

Hey Bossy_Marmalade, great grow! Awesome outcome! The 'cut grass' or hay smell, did that completely leave with proper drying and curing? I'm thinking of using a my herbs now dryer, but don't want to get that hay smell from drying it to fast...thought?

My guess is 8 zips for the two plants... I will def be checking results.

“one indoor plant producing a pound is almost unheard of” I’ve never heard of it. I grew 7’ Christmas trees outdoors and got 10-12 oz per plant. That Big lemon was beautiful

Breeding is easy. And you don’t have to give up all of your seedless bud to do it. ID a male who looks robust. Remove him to another room and wait a few days for his sacs to open. Collect pollen on a swab. Turn off fans in the flower tent so the air is still. Selectively, carefully pollinate one branch of a girl by gently dabbing her pistils with pollen. Wrap it loosely in a light weight, white fabric to minimize further pollination. Twist tie where the fabric gathers. Turn fans back on Allow her to finish. Really finish. Pick the other flowers as you wish, remove the fabric and let this branch continue. When she has dried up and looks about dead, your seeds are ready. I get about 200 seeds from a pollinated cola using this method. Spray the tent wet before starting the next grow. An outdoor plant left to be completely pollinated delivers on average 3000 seeds.

Thanks @Elysian_gardens710! Im very proud of my big lemon. I mean, one indoor plant producing a pound is almost unheard of. What a grow. Regarding that grassy chlorophyll smell, its always gonna happen after the plant is cut; however, this is the first time I did a slow whole plant dry in a dark space at 50%rh, and the hay smell was not nearly as pronounced nor did it last as long as opposed wet trimming. The good weed smell came back after about 2 or 3 days after cutting her down. I fell like wet trimming messes with the plants natural drying process, which throws off the breakdown of chlorophyll and carb/sugars etc. at a very important stage at the end of the plants life. So keep it low and slow bro 😎 Im unfamiliar with that particular dryer, but in any case you certainly dont want to rush it if youre looking to preserve the true smells. What is more, controlling your temp and humidity is the way to go to keep those terps.

Hey thanks @800peace! appreciate the comments, and the side lighting is super great for getting through the canopy from all angles. Bc this, I got big ol' buds way deep down in the canopy. Well, I'm a bit cagey about the nutrients i use, bc most people never heard of em, thus think its bunck and therefore wont understand how and why they are radically different and far superior to all other salt based nutrient lines (FF, GH, etc.). Its called Nectar for the Gods, a real small company out of Oregon, the line is more labor intensive bc requires frequent but smaller feedings bc this line is completely hydrolyzed, so you feed the plant directly instead of feeding the soil, which breaks down nutrients salts which then feed the plant. In addition to this organic line, I actively monitor my microbial colonies to maintain constant health and nutrient uptake. If you would like, i can break down my line in more detail bcs its quite a bit.

Hey thanks for taking a look @growdoctordc, and for leaving a super positive comment. I just joined this community and i'm real excited to share my progress and hard work. Youre right about the light tho, ill look into that. I have only been growing for 3 or 4 years now, but what I lack in experience I make up for in research abilities. Learning about cannabis is awesome, and breeding seems like the logical next step. Thurns out, Big Lemon up there ate up everything in her little 5gal pot, so its basically a soilless medium and she's eating me out of house and home! lol but I love her and she will definitely be worth it. Still a month and a half to go! isnt it weird that the smallest plant in the video is the same seed and breeder, and was planted on the very same day as Big Lemon.
