Not much to report, they are just trying to figure out what is going on. They seem stalled, which is either the tragic result of the heatwave, or they are putting all of their energy into roots and my gamble will pay off down the line for using a 7 gallon pot with an autoflower.
Same Nute schedule as last week, beginning of 3rd week they move onto 1/2 early veg nute strength. Foliar feeding with distilled water since sprout. That will end after next big feeding.
Auto speed bud number 3 has 3 first leaves instead of 2. I hear she might yield 1/3 more because of this mutation. She started the biggest, and had the smallest seed of the Speed Buds, followed closely by Speed bud #1, who had the largest seed of the 3.
Sleepy Yoda lost one of its coats in a seed head, and had some odd looking first leaves, very dagobah-ish, but otherwise seems unharmed
NLxBB is one to watch. This is obvious.
I chose this place for my grow because of problems with other places I lurked. I would have preferred to use a forum so that I could get advice, but one place wouldn't allow me to post a journal because my lights weren't made by a sponsor of their site. Another wouldn't let me start a post and another had a broken captcha.
I have already gotten comments here, which I didn't realize was possible, which is why I didn't try joining here in the first place.
In other words, I would love critiques, advice, and experiences so I do not have to reinvent the wheel. I may not take your advice or even agree with you, but I thrive on information. If you have anything to add or ask, please do!
I want to do a journal to give back. I know that so many other people made mistakes and then wrote them down so I wouldn't have to make those mistakes. They prepared me so well that so far there have been very few surprises and they will be partly responsible if I pull off a successful harvest, so i think I owe it to pay back those who helped my by paying it forward to those people who my experiences might help one day.
Thanks for reading. I am writing this on July 19th, and a lot has happened in week 3. Stay tuned!
Thanks, I am actually on day 19 today. Been trying to decide where to do a journal. This place won. I got some cool stuff including the time lapse video that will start showing up in week 3.
@Mr_Matics, have you grown any of these strains yourself? At this point, Mango Cream, Seemango, and Reek'N are very far behind the rest. I am wondering if the heat is too much for them or they are longer to get moving than the other strains. Thanks!
EDIT: never mind, at lights on they decided to sneak up and come to life overnight, it seems. All 3 of them a little behind but now hot on the trail.
@ennui,that's good π I've grown barneys but heard good things about others. You've got a good set up and a good base to start so u don't need to worry to much have faith my friend ππ»π
Fantastic grow! You have done extremely well for a first timer. Way better than me. ha ha.. If I was to make a suggestion, I would recommend you try a mono grow of your most successful strain next time. you will learn how to finesse the ripening process more easily . Right now your beautiful buds are showing wonderful trichome development but its not clear that your plant is going to mature correctly to deliver you optimal results because your nitrogen levels are still too high and I doubt these levels will be in range by the time your trics mature. Watch out for diminishing smell in your garden also, another sign you are over cooking things. Finishing perfectly is hard and most of us, myself included, are always working on its nuances. Either way, you have done well enough already to say you have knocked it out of the ball park. Congrats.
Not sure if I understand. Does the watts per sq' change for breeders, Barnes? Curious to know your thoughts.
Interesting to hear about your super skunk. My Skunk Afghan cross (Green Crack) is running late, I believe, Hard to be sure because in the dark past I have erred on the side of running a strain too long and ending up with hay, Hopefully Mulch will not leave it that long. lol. I am running the exact same plant for a 2nd time now. Its structure and appearance is completely different this time because of change in nute schedule and lower lighting. I am hoping to be on schedule this time but based on what you are saying, I shouldn't be too optimistic.
@biggreens420, I wish i knew, lol. I am anxious for many reasons to get these ladies in jars, and oddly enough, getting high on them is the last of those. I am monitoring trichs, but they are still going. Buds keep leaning over which I assume means more weight, so if they have more in them, they have more in them. I would rather sooner as that is why I used Dry Koolbloom last week, but we don't seem to be there yet on their clock
@@Tryhard, ty!. All 6 smell at the moment so I am not quite sure in isolation what the Auto Seemango smells like. I did rub my finger up the stem toi check for you, and it was fruity. Good luck with your grow!
This grow looks beautiful mate. Fantastic job you have done here in this massive room you've made.
I cannot wait to see more grows from you!!!!
Keep it up :D
@mulch, Don't mention it buddy. It's always great to have more growers on this site who are about being friendly and helpful. I can't wait till you are the one giving kind words to future growers. Keep it up because you are well on your way :D
@DabCrab, thank you!
Staying the course hoping to cruise to 1st harvest with no problems. Crossing my fingers.
And I am ALSO looking forward to more grows from me!
π
Thanks for the kind words!
@@GrowThings, i accidentally put my dry weight in the wet weight on this site, i just corrected that. i didnt weigh it before drying or trimming, so i got 280 grams dry trimmed, including popcorn but not sugar leaf.
@ItsLegalInMyHouse, thanks a lot. My 2nd grow didn't start as strong, so wish me luck on the finish. Also, the jars of weed in my cupboard are thanks enough, lolololol!
Dude! I am a victim of speed bud too! One of them was an auto and finished in time. Other one... Not so much. I couldn't kill him. Now she has her own tent. You can check out from my diaries she is huge but very troubled. ^^ happy growing
@growmcnoob,There is something wrong with that auto, I think. I had 3 Speed Buds and 2 didn't turn. They were certainly healthy and vigorous and the one who is growing at 20/4 has beautiful buds, nothing like yours tho!. Good luck, gonna keep an eye on your grow!
@Dtrain, They are out of control. I am afraid I am going to have to get rid of 2 if it keeps up. I think the stretch is mostly over, but wow, I got very overwhelmed very fast. How did your stretch go and what size pots? Coco as well?
Start a diary, brotha!
For your first grow... you did GREAT!! Heck if you finish your first grow with 50% of your plants you did well π
But you did great happy for ya ππ»
