DWC Trio

After 3 days of germination, two seeds had sprouted out of their shell... Hopefully a sign of the growth to come... First Week only added Rapid Start. Starting Week 2 with full CaliMagic n Hydroguard and 1/2 Flora Trio... Growing in 5 Gal. Buckets... Grow space is 3'x3'x6'...

End of Week 2 Entering Week 3... Royal Critical and Strawberry Mango Haze are Developing Nicely... Topped both on Day 14... I know it's Frowned upon to Top Autos but I Follow a Grower on Instagram that Tops n Mainlines all His Autos with Great Results... I won't be Mainlining but decided to Top them. I Topped a Blueberry Bliss I have Growing in Soil and it responded Wonderfully... The Pineapple Express is Significantly behind the other Two so chances are it won't get Topped... Root Development isn't near the other Two so I Added more RapidStart to the Pineapple at Water Change... All Plants got 1/2 Notes and Full CaliMagic and Hydroguard...

End of Week 3 Entering Week 4... Royal Critical n SMH are Growing Nicely... Good Root Structures Developing... Royal Critical looking to be quite Bushy... Defoliated Largest Fan Leaves and Light LST for more Light Penetration... Defoliated SMH but no need for LST... Pineapple Express is still Growing although much Slower than Her Two Sisters... Root Structure is well behind the others but Hoping for a "Growth Spurt"... Nutrients still at 1/2 Dosage...

End of Week 4 into Week 5. SMH n Critical are Developing Nicely. Critical Auto is Growing quite Bushy. Did some Light Defoliation for Light Penetration. Pineapple Express is still Significantly Behind but coming along. Fed SMH n Critical at 1/2 Dosage for Aggressive Vegetation Phase. Fed Pineapple at 1/2 Mild Vegetation Phase. Expecting/Hoping for First Signs of Flowering any Day.

End Week 5 into Week 6. The Wife Mentioned the House Smelling when She came Home Last Week so I Kicked on the Carbon Filter which accounts for the Lower Temp. All the Ladies are Growing Steadily. Pineapple Express is still Lagging Behind but She's continuing to Develop Her Root Structure. Critical Auto is Taking Off. SMH is Growing Fine but She's Growing OUT from where I Topped Her instead of UP. Like a Natural Mainline. Hopefully She begins to Grow Up before She gets too Wide. Still Waiting on the First Pistils to Show. Fed all 3 Girls at 1/2 Nute Dosage with Full CaliMagic n Hydroguard. Did some Major Defoliation on the 2 Big Sisters for Light n Air Penetration n Hopes of Focusing Growth to Upper Nodes. I Basically Clipped every Leaf the had a Significant Shoot Growing from it n anything I felt was too Low to Produce Substantial Buds. Also did some Light LST on the Critical. With Expectations for Flowering soon I'm Switching the Lights to 20 On/4 Off.

End of Week 6 into Week 7. Still no Pistils to be Seen. I'm Starting to think I may have been Mistaken about the Autoflower on the Critical. It was a Freebie with an Order. I was Understood them to be Autos but could Easily have been Mistaken. The other 2 I KNOW to be Autoflowers so no Idea why they haven't Started to Flower. Maybe One of the Grow Masters Here can Provide some Insight. @ClubRiot, @B4rns, @Cannasim, @Ted, @BigDaddyK, @DabCrab? Until then they're Growing Healthy so I'll remain Patient.

End of Week 7 into Week 8. Still no Action on the Critical or Strawberry Mango Haze. Pineapple Express Showed Her First Pistils. At this Point I'm Convinced the Critical is a Freebie Photo that I Misunderstood to be an Auto. The SMH is said to be a Late Flowering Auto so We'll see. The Lack of Root Structure has Left the Pineapple Express looking Puny in Comparison to Her Sisters. This is My 5th Time Growing Her. The First was DWC n had the same Root Structure Issue. Yielded 1G Dry. Second was Started Outside n got Eaten as a Seedling. The Third never Sprouted. The Fourth was a Puny Soil Grow. 5G I believe. Not Expecting much from the Last Girl. She's been Treated the same as Her Sisters so I'm Chalking it Up to Inferior Seeds/Breeder. SMH n Critical both Received Aggressive Veg Nutes. Fed Pineapple Express Transition Dosage. All Nutes at 1/2 Dosage with Full CaliMagic n Hydroguard.

Start of Week 8. I made the Decision to Flip the Tent to 12/12 to see if the Critical would Start to Flower and Indeed She has. The Strawberry Mango Haze as well. Either I was Mistaken about Her Autoflower Status or it was some Ironic Timing. Either way the Tent's Flipped n Flowering is Underway. Hopefully the Flip won't effect Yield for the SMH. Started Transition Nutrients at Full Dosage.

End Week 9 into Week 10. Still Growing Beautifully. Upped their Feedings to Full Dosage and Added Liquid Kool Bloom. Pineapple Express will CLEARLY be the Lowest Yielder. She's as Tall as the Critical but few Bud Sites.

Steadily Flowering. Pineapple Express is the Furthest along but CLEARLY the Smallest. Hoping for at least 7G but not Expecting much from Her. Strawberry Mango Haze has Finally Started Reaching UP instead of OUT. By Her Growing Out so Oddly Her Canopy is at all Different Heights. Royal Critical the Star of this Grow. She's Huge in comparison to Her Sisters with Bud Sites everywhere. She could use the entire 3 sq. ft. on Her own. Did what I Suspect to be the Last Major Defoliation for all the Girls. SMH had a lot of Branches I don't think would Produce Significant Quality Buds bc of Lack of Light so I Defoliated a LOT... Hopefully not too much Stress.

End of Week 11 into Week 12. Ladies are still Growing Nicely. Pineapple Express is till Lagging but Trichomes have Started Developing. SMH is Growing Nicely but not very Uniformed. I Rotate Positions and the Buckets themselves to Help Ensure even Lighting but She's still Grown Lopsided. The Critical is the Star of the Bunch. Largest Plant. Most Uniformity. I'm Expecting BIG Time Results from Her. She's about as Wide as She is Tall with Bud Sites all over. All 3 Girls seem to be Experiencing some Nute Burn so I took the Feeding Dosages back to 1/2 with Full CalMag Plus and Hydroguard. Suspecting less than 5 more Weeks for the Lot.

Everyone's in Full Flower Mode now. Pineapple Express should be Ready in 3 Weeks or so. Another 4-6 for the other 2. I'll be Happy with 7G Dry from the Pineapple Express. Hoping for significantly more from Her Sisters.

End of Week 12 into Week 13. Pineapple Express should be Coming Down in the Next Week or 2. Dropping Expectations Down to 3G Dry... She won't Produce much but Boy is She Smelly. Critical and SMH I Estimate anywhere from 3-5 more Weeks. They're both Flowering Nicely. Critical doesn't really have any Aroma but She's Quite Frosty. Strawberry Mango Haze isn't nearly as Frosty but has a Pleasantly Fruity Smell to Her. Did One Last Major Defoliation on all 3 Girls. All 3 look to have some Potential Nutrient Burn so I won't be Changing their Water this Week only Topping Levels Off n PH Balancing.

End of Week 14 into Week 15. Ladies are still Flowering. All I need is for the Critical n Strawberry Mango Haze to Plump Up. The Nutrient Burn still looks Present in all 3 Girls so I'm Running Critical and SMH on PH'd only Water for a few Days. Pineapple Express will be Ready within the Week so She'll Flush for a few Days before the Chop.

*Sigh* She came Down. Didn't Waste Time Trimming Her. Dried for a few Days. Dried from 9G to 1.3G. A MAJOR Disappointment Yield-wise but I Loved the Smell n Taste. No Curing just went ahead n Smoked Her. She was Destined for Disappointment early on.

Growing along. Ladies are Flowering Nicely. Hoping for more Bulking in the coming Weeks. Suspect the Critical to be Ready in about 2 or 3 Weeks. 3 or 4 for Weeks for the Strawberry Mango Haze. Ran them in PH'd Water for 4 Days then Refilled with only Cal-Mag Plus, Hydroguard and Liquid Kool Bloom. Next Water Change they'll be getting 1/4 Dosage of Nutrients with Full Cal-Mag Plus, Hydroguard and Liquid Kool Bloom

And then there was One... She's almost Ready. I'll be Flushing Her for 3-5 Days before Chopping Her Down. Hoping for a little more Bulking before then.

She Grows really Lanky. Pure Sativa. She Grew real uneven after Topping n I ran into what I think was a Toxicity Issue near Harvest. Next time I Grow Her I will NOT Top Her. Drying for a few Days then Curing the Larger Buds n making My First Attempt at making Keef with the Rest. Will Update Dry Weight before Curing. Until We Grow Again...

She was the Star of the Grow and My Best Yield yet. She was Easy to Grow but I'd suggest taking Care to not overdo the Nutrients. Ran into some early Signs of Burn but She was Fine once I went back to 1/2 Dosage. I Cut the 4 Main Colas to Hang n Clipped the rest at the Buds to Lay Out n Dry. I Barely have Room in My Drying Box. If I've found My Grower's Stride like I Hope I have I'll need to Construct a New Larger Box. By my Calculations She should Dry Out to about 60 Grams. I consider Her My First Successful Grow AND She'll be ready in Time for some Holiday Celebration. Hoping for more to come. Take a Moment to Check My Holiday Video Submission. Happy Growing n Happy Holidays... *Update* After 3 Days of Drying Weight's Down to 75g with a few more Days to Dry.00
