Just starting My first journal, catching flower before it starts to bloom. plants have had 60 days from seed to bush out and fill the 4x4 flower tent, I may have left them a little too long but keeping them trained and filing the canopy in nicely Today is day 5 Flower ( 03/30/19 )
Girlscout cookies from blimburn seeds is on the left and Gorilla zkittlez from barneys farm is on the right
I have a candy kush plant in week 4 of veg i may do a separate journal on
Next full journal will be A very special Genetic from Obsoul33t - It's Alien Orange Congolese Im excite to get it started shortly!
As well as Chemdawg from Humbolt Seeds
Anyways Im going to try to get this all updated and figured out before i start those seeds so stay tuned!
MONDAY: Plants seem to be getting happier, after working on nutrient build ups and low pH coco, growth is accelerating but tops still show some yellowing leading me to believe the light is too intense
Thursday: flushed with a lower ppm solution at higher ph to help increase ph of the media and let plant absorb most the water by reducing to 1 watering / 24 hours
Friday: been doing light defoliation, noticed overlapping leaves having water build up
Saturday: clean and fresh nutes in reservoir getting ready for week 3
Hand Mix 4 gallon week 2; 700-800 ppm 6.0ph
Well update rest of week tonight
Week 3 was crazy growth hopefully the buds start swelling up soon ! Ppms have been low since I ran out of nutrients
Watering 2 times a day, slow growth due to light leaks which will be seen in the next week's update
Lots of trouble shooting this week didn't get many photos light leaks slowed growth and reverted to veg, along with reservoir kept growing bad bacteria
Got some h202 and cleaned the shit outta every thing
Plants are making a come back, for some reason I feel like I'm on week flower but only have documentation to week 4 ? I'll have to look over everything
Reveg seems to be done with as buds begin to swell again, sucks that I don't have many big 7 finger leaves to uptake the light more effectively
Can't quite remember when I started flowering but I feel like I have a couple extra weeks to add on to these girls
Last week seemed to be recovery, this week should be swelling up, some weird looking leaves comming out of the buds from the reveg just hope there's no seeds
Lost Track Of the Grow, When I upload to instagram my Phone makes doubles, Which is why some may be duplicates, all organized and ready for the new grows
officially end of week 6, day one of week 7 as of 05/13/19 Start of Flower was March 23
Sorry for confusion, Also haven't updated nutrients Ran out at week 3 Flower, had to make low PPM nutrients different Every Time so no way of remembering exactly what I did asides from a top dress around week 5
Daily 3x Waterings In Coco, Automated ph typically 6.0, but has been high to above 7 and low to 5 just depends on if i get to check before automatic watering schedual
Thick ass root ball on these Girls Up taking Lots of water, And Transpiring just as much, needed to put a dehumidifier in tent to counter humidity increases
Grow is 4x4 and about 12 - 16 Inch thick Canopy
Finished up week 7 everything's starting to fade, haven't fed them all week but keeping them happy with microbes and keeping the microbes happy with molasses
Ph has been up and down usually 6.0 but sometimes 7+ and sometime 5 ish
Definitely stressing them out and reducing bud growth but working on the bluelab controller to keep a steady ph for next grow
Not much has changed besides the bud structure, lots of lower buds are popcorn a d useless on gorilla zkittlez, pretty good on girlscout cookies
Difference between the two is easy to tell as GSC is darker and frontier with less of a stretch, and GZ stretching lots and growing larfy buds
Also haven't had nutrients for the past 2-3 weeks and been mixing up organic biostimulants in my reservoir till they ran out just over a week ago
So close to the flush so didn't bother me too much sacraficed yeild already with the re veg during week 3 and 4 of flower so might aswell get every but of nutrients out for a clean smoke
Talking with my nutrient Rep about dialing my system in better! As I have been doing things a little but wrong with feedings. will be getting to the lab for proper testing and analysis!
Next grow going to utilize stepwell supersoil if feasible and see how it compares to coco along with costs and nutrients needed!
Took leaves on for analysis, results on next week
Been flushing for the past 2 weeks nothing but plain water, waiting on stock up and possibly changing base nutes to cyco 2 part... Unless Harley Smith signature 2 part comes out on market first but doubt full
Took leafs in on Friday for leaf analysis and results are in, surprised there is still so much PK in the coco
High manganese other metals due to dust in the air (air purifier wasn't running for a bit along with no filter on intake)
Sulfur and nitrogen difference is crazy tho considering they have been getting the exact same feedings
Perhaps over watered these plants and locked out some nutrients due to not enough oxygen, luckily watering plants till run off has kept nutrient build up to minimum
In the future I will not be adding any top dressings nor amending the coco for my photoperiod a
I will be using stepwell soil for my future auto flowers and cyco 2 part with NPK bio stimulants in coco possibly working into hydroton
Some minor adjustments to do for next grow but candy kush mother plant and her clone are both ready for flower, following alien Orange Congolese from obsol33t genetics and Jack hererr from seedman seed
Final week for these girls, still just giving them plain water
Amber trichomes starting to pop on gorilla zkittlez so probably harvest Saturday
Smells real song in the tent 💪 citrus, candy, and skunky
Gorilla zkittlez Came out with some chunky buds little fluffy but enough weight to pull the plant down to the ground, all trimmed up as of June 10th will be letting her dry a little faster then she should since I'm low on my stash
Girlscout cookies continues to go with lots of clear and cloudy trichs, waiting for the buds to develop to harvest her
Both plants smell unreal right now! My best grow by far
This grow looks a lot larger then what it is, gorilla zkittlez came out light and fluffy but still a solid 9.1 oz yeild in a 4x4 tent sharing the space with girlscout cookies
She grew a little rough at the start during veg but once she got back to health she really took off
Heavy feeder she would always drink more and be lighter green then the girlscout cookies
Had a reveg mishapp around week 3 and 4 in flower which caused her to stretch a lot, none the less she still stacked up on some colas
Due to heat and too much light the buds turned out really fluffy compared to girlacout cookies
Buds are nice and frosty with lots of orange hairs tho
Smelling like lemon peels and gummy Candy with a hint of that earthy smell
Harvested on day 77 she was at the end of week 10, hunger her up in the basement where temps were about 70-73 and humidity around 55% stable for 5 days
Trimmed off all the fan leaves and some sugar leaves to aid in the drying process
Was low on stash and wanted to harvest instead of buying more
Finally have enough to keep me stocked up will next harvest! Just from one plant
Still have the girlscout cookies to weigh up aswell and she had better buds
None the less easy grow specially for the last 3-4 weeks as I ran out of nutrients I just gave them the odd watering ph to 6.0 but she got waterings as low as 5.5 and High as 7.1 and didn't effect the growth
Although I could of gotten a larger yeild or denser buds with nutrients up untill the last week
She didn't die nor slow down during the last few weeks and doubled in bud size
pressing out nicely im sure ill be doing a lot of it with this bud
This grow went extremely easy, I believe I held off on harvest till week 13
She dried for 7 days around 55-60 RH and 72-75° F could have been better but not the worst
Good moisture level still inside the buds been burping the jars and reloading them letting the RH slowly decrease inside the buds
This stuff gave me 1 gram of rosin off a 3.5 gram press at 205°f
Great returns overall and awesome smell!
