Ganja Farmer Grandaddy Black Indoor 4x4

MindFlowers68 Seedlings all growing at expected rate. Added soluble root zone to the seedlings again, and they got their first feeding. Some liquid kelp and cal-mag. They were only watered once for the whole week. The PPFD at the canopy level was set to around 250 with my my lights at 100 percent at the top of the tent.

MindFlowers68 One thing I noticed right away with her this week was the tiny thin leaves which has me intrigued this being know as a more indica plant. Puting out some fast new growth twards the end of the week. One feeding with liquid kelp and cal-mag.

MindFlowers68 Some of the plants showing more signs of yellowing from watering issues and ph issues. Luckily I was able to get a nice strong batch of Boogie Brew compost tea made and gave them all a nice soak and bath with it. Within two days all but one of the plants bounced back. Now that the plants are able to fend for themselves a little better was a good opportunity to try to harden them off the ones going outside to the elements outside. I did so by placing on a shaded part of my deck for a few hours. I was also able to get my tent inside ready and they were moved from the small cool grows tent to my 4x8 tent with my big lights. I adjusted the light to be around 500 PPFD at canopy.

MindFlowers68 Was fed with a nice drench and foliar of Bogie Brew tea. Still waiting to pinpoint the final home so they just have to hang out with my other plants for a little while.

MindFlowers68 End of last week was looking great and showing a 14 finger leaf. But this week shes deffs getting tired of the 1 gallon pot and was finally able to transplant into something bigger. The only thing i could do was to swueese it into my gorilla 4x8 in 20 gallon pot i used on my galaxy grow until i can get my other 4x8 setup. Gave a little haircut tucked some leaves and topped the main stem then transplanted into reused soil from another old grow i remanded. Added some dry boogie brew base and boost along with some insect frass and the usual gai green 4-4-4 neem seed meal and rock dusts.

MindFlowers68 It was a huge relief to get my other 4x8 tent set up this week. I was able to move her over to the new tent to start training it to fill the area. I'm not going to bother trying to transplant now and just see what I can do with the 20 gallon pot. I may just have to water a little more often towards the end and feed her a little more than the other plants. Got plain water early in the week and my cal-mag/ kelp solution at the end of the week. The plant is already shown a great improvement in size since transplanting last week. Going to get some compost tea going this week and a top dress i think too.

MindFlowers68 She seems to be doing good in the new tent but I'm getting some leaf twisting, maybe too much nitrogen, but not to sure what is causing it this plant has had a strange leaf growth from the start so maybe its just what it does. She's getting nice and bushy without any other training or defoliating other than the one little top i took off a few weeks ago. I top dressed with some BSF frass and neem seed meal and fed compost tea at 600 ppm early in week and cal-mag water later in the week.

MindFlowers68 Finally got her situated under a scrog net. Wont be long before shes ready to flip at the rate of growth. I top dressed with a mix of my dry amendments, and dry boogie brew boost and base. Along with frass Gia green 4-4-4, rock dust, fish bone meal. Watered in with some fish hydrolysate followed by my kelp and cal-mag solution. They also got some boogie brew later in the week.

MindFlowers68 East going week for her. Was able to get the other plant out of the tent and spent most the time which was not much just tucking a few shoots under the scrog net. I made compost tea and watered only once around 700ppm with the kelp and cal mag mixed in. I kind of inpulse bought some new lights for this tent. But they were original 0 lights I got for 0 each the Bestva Spirit-X. Has seperate dimmers for veg, bloom, ultraviolet, and far red. I have my original two lights I got for my 3x3 tents covering this cool grows 4x8 and is a little underpowered. I still managed over a pound and a half off that overdose that turned out to be a photoperiod not an under the two lights. With the new lights my setup will be a little be better to compare runs as well. And if i need to set up my 3x3 tents i can use these lights i have now to run some pheno hunt or grow some regular seeds for males, or maybe an autoflower tent. And I have my two viparspecta p1000 that i use as just swiss army knives for cloning and various tasks like helping veg my other plants in my studio.

MindFlowers68 Exciting week for my groworld tent. I upgraded from my 3x3 lights to new Bestva Spirit-x lights. I feel much better about having a matched pair of lights that are more than powerful enough for the space. I didn't know it had wifi control. They are selling them for 199 shipped which seems too good to be true their practically giving them away. A little over a year ago when i got my Bestva Bat600 lights the Spirit-x were listed at 700. I'm not sure how effective the UV and Far Red settings are or the kind of spectrum they put off. The rest of the board seems mostly populated with super bright white leds. The looks of the light is super clear and clean looking. The plants were lolli-poped and top dressed with 1 cup GG 4-4-4, 1 cup fish bone meal, 1/3 cup each of neem seed meal, insect frass, and GG glacial rock dust. Then added the compost tea grounds on top then water in with boogie brew. The plants got one other watering just cal mag to ph it down earlier in the week. I'm only going to veg 1 more week before I flip them to 12/12 light.

MindFlowers68 Got a little hotter and drier in the tent than I was aiming for but ended up not affecting the plants too bad. Some slight tip damage from low humidity . I did drive the lights harder to try and get one last push to fill the tents because it's last week of veg. I am also still trying to get used to these new lights so I am still testing a few things. Plant got 3 waterings. First was with added epsom salt and potassium sulphate. The second with liquid fish hydrolysate. And the last with boogie brew.

MindFlowers68 First week of 12/12. Stretching a little but not too much yet. I put another layer of net in because i found some a good price and I don't want to get stuck with buds flopping over. I also ordered some vivosun high cfm bars that should have already been i stalled but they got delayed. Getting some serious negative pressure i need to make more space for her to breath and stretch. I water twice this week no compost tea and topped the pots off with some more soil.

MindFlowers68 Finally got the high cfm bars installed and the top net attached to it. The plants are already stretching into it nicely with good spacing and not a ton of foliage blocking bud sites. The temps are hotter than I would like but the plants actually seem to be liking it. The lights running a little brighter and running the dehumidifier in the lung room at night is helping keep the humidity an vdp in check but at expense of being a little warmer. It should start to cool down though and j will adjust the lights after stretch. Got watered twice this week once just cal mag to ph water down and second a nice batch of compost tea.

MindFlowers68 This week was similar to last week. The main thin this week was just keeping up with watering. I never did lollipop on this going into flower because the lower branches are getting decent light. There were some crispy leaves on bottom I plucked and shes looking good. Still a little hot in the tent this week but tamping it down a little. She is stretching slowly still. She is already smelling funky too.

MindFlowers68 Just trying to keep things consistent in the tent this week. My thermostat in the house was sabotaging me. I thought I had it set right but apparently it was shutting off and ambient temp in the house for set to 77 so it was hard to control the tent. After getting that situated, I did decide to dim the lights a little bit because the Grandaddy black is looking slightly stressed from the heat and it's hard to keep up with the watering because the plant is getting so big. Watered three times this week. The last one was with Boogie brew, kelp Molasses and Cal Mag. Starting to get some dry crispies at the bottom and then plugging them off as I go. She smells really good already in getting pretty frosty. The buds are not too big yet but they are going to get there.

MindFlowers68 Although I don't have the tent dialed in right now the buds are really dense and frosty and compact. Looks like more of the old growth is suffering and the new growth looks pretty good so I think it was under watering and heat issue I think it's time to dial back the heat in the tent, even though I don't have the lights that high up. Delaying transplanting these plant in this tent didn't help one bit either so it's a good comparison at least of how the size of the pots can contribute to flowers size just look at my other tent with my 65 gallons.

MindFlowers68 She's getting really frosty it's changing the color of the flower I love it. It's super stinky and dense. But they're still not as big as I thought they would be but remind me at some of my other Indica plants, so should still turn out awesome and bud sizes and not always everything too. My lights have been a little frustrating though this week and a few other weeks in the past they keep forgetting my schedule and staying on longer than 12 hours. I've had a few day they got like 14 hours of light so I'm watching for nanners. I also noticed that the Rj11 connector for the light doesn't match up with the AC Infinity one. It's a bigger connector for some sort of bestva controller unit they have. I got it to remedy the Wi-Fi app glitching out so the only other option to control this light is the smart plugs or something similar which isn't ideal. I was hoping to be able to daisychain them. I guess I could use one as the trigger and then maybe daisychain the rest.

MindFlowers68 She's looking good this week after staying on top of the watering a little better. I've been checking for natters since the extra light and she seems to be doing fine although some of the top growth looks crazy like she almost try to re-veg. Buds are stacking slowly but surely still. I ramped up the UV a little bit and I'm gonna see if it makes her frosty or not, seems to be working. She's done with compost tea now. A chilled the water, a little bit down to 64. It went to also.

MindFlowers68 It was her last week of growth, and I harvested at the end of the week. She got water one time this week that I iced down to make a little cooler. End the last week I started eyeing to trichomes every day and they were looking 80% milky and was a little bit to amber. Looking at the plant from outside the tent while she was growing it was kind of hard to tell how big it was getting once I started digging into it, man, there are some really big buds in there. Luckily, I was able to get in there and pull the buds through without messing up my scrog nets or beating the buds up too much. Took about an hour and a half to take the last photos and get her cut down and hung up. She's sitting at 63°F 60% humidity. Last time I had to dry I had my 4 x 8 available and it was near winter time so I can pull it off but I had a lot to hers this time so I had to take the drums out of my studio and make a jungle gym for my plants to dry on lol. I had two racks I bought and I found another one in my shed and then I got thinking I could use the top reinforcements for my three by threes as extra hanging area and I made this little cube thing. I have my AC set to 60° and the dehumidifier set to 60% and a few fans in here they're pointing at the wall in the floor near the Buds.

MindFlowers68 She dried in about 13 days. It was the third plant out of four I had to trim. She trimmed up pretty easily. It was a pleasant surprise. Got 12 oz total. She has some nice chunky, dense, terpene rich buds. That are also covered in frost top to bottom. She took a little longer to dry because buds were so dense I had to let sit out overnight in trim bin before jarring. My test press went very well and she yielded a little over 15 percent. I still am curing the rosin but had a little test of it and was very nice. The terps are very thick and mouth coating. The flower is burning fine before any curing and the flavor is already shining I cant wait to see how it is after a little cure.
