1st Grow ever, Find it out side

TheChillGrow I found her outside just as she was starting to flower, so I brought her back in and managed to get her back into veg. Not entirely sure how well it's going, but she doesn't look too bad. I’ve been having some issues with my setup since I didn’t have everything I needed at the start

TheChillGrow Just finished a flush, the buffer pH was way off. Not sure if I’m fully on the right track yet, but we’ll see how it goes over the next week. After the flush, my runoff pH was 7.14 with a PPM of 475. I brought the pH down to 5.97, then buffered with the following mix in 5 L of water: EHG CalMag – 2 ml EHG Micro – 4 ml EHG Grow – 8 ml EHG Bloom – 4 ml After buffering, my runoff PPM came to 442 Let's see how it goes

TheChillGrow I'm just letting her grow a bit to get ready for flowering. I've mainlined her a few times, I think she has around 16 to 32 colas, can't remember exactly. I want her to fill out a bit more so I can start tucking her in, and then I plan to flip next week.

TheChillGrow Flowering starts today, let’s see where this journey goes.

TheChillGrow Heading into week 9 now, not much new to report. I’m mainly focusing on keeping the canopy open and even, making sure all the tops stay at the same height. The plant is looking healthy and continues to grow nicely.

TheChillGrow The plants are settling nicely into flower now, with pistils showing on all bud sites and the stretch starting to slow down. I did a light defoliation and removed about a third of the lower growth to improve airflow and focus energy on the top buds. Canopy is looking even and filling the net well. PH has been steady between 5.6–5.8, and EC is sitting at 1.8. Plants seem happy with the feed so far, no signs of deficiencies or excess. Light is currently at 80% and about 35.5 cm from the top of the canopy, which seems to be the sweet spot for now. Overall, everything is on track. Bud development is just beginning, and the structure is looking promising.

TheChillGrow Did a little defoliation today and tucked everything neatly under the net. This week I’ll be introducing PK into the feed and watching how the plant starts to handle it. I’m pretty sure this week will mark the end of the stretch. Main stem is sitting at 27 cm (just over an inch thick), and so far, everything looks healthy with no issues. Not bad progress at all for my first grow!

TheChillGrow Today I removed a lot of leaves, hoping the plant is finally done stretching. She’s now standing at 800mm from the pot and filling almost the entire 1m x 1m tent. Water uptake is heavy – around 40L over 6 days (≈6.7L per day). Currently running at EC 1.9 with a pH of 5.8. By the end of this coming week, the light will be at 100% intensity and the feed pushed up to EC 2.1.
