Started popping seeds May 16th, put them in soil May 18th. I'm 6 days in now and everything is going great, this is my first grow so I'm still figuring out what is necessary equipment to grow efficiently and effectively. Right now I am not feeding nutrients as I assume the soil I'm using has adequate nutrients for a Seedling. I'm using my well water which pH is around 7, I'll start worrying about pH more when I get to the vegetation stage. I did however put some worm castings in my soil if that's considered a nutrient?
Everything is going good other than trying to keep my temp down I started noticing the leaves were curling a bit. Even with ventilation I think this problem will not be an issue once I move her to a larger tent. Temp is still with in range @ 82° f probably nothing to fret about. Current tent size is 18×30×36 which is my designated seedling tent. This week ill introduce the co2 my method being easy and cheap which is sugar water and yeast. Day 10 started seeing some red on the stems started feeding nutrients and it seems to be subsiding I'll keep a close eye on it the next step would be cal mag. She's really stating to put it on I'm transplanting on day 14 and plan on topping when she's recovered.
Day 15 transplanted to a 10 gal container and 3×3 tent. Day 30 transitioning to flower. She's measuring 24 inches across definitely bushy and stout. Plan on scrogging through the upcoming weeks.
This week was a bit of a struggle. Plant was moved to 5 gallon container and into a tent. It took me a few days to get the humidity under control but all is well now that I've got a little better ventilation. The only thing I'm very concerned with now is bringing the ph down to a 6.5 -7. I'm going to use distilled water instead of nutrient mix for the next week and likely will heavily dilute the nutrient mix before next feeding.
Starting flower, upping the nutes a bit and changed light cycle to 12/12. Fully recovered from the issues I incurred on week 3-4, installed the scrog net and stating to train the branches as it fills in. No for sure signs of sex yet...not that I'm really worried about it.
Started week 2 of flower with some defoliation to provide more light to some of the smaller branches/bud sites that are trying to penetrate the canopy. Started using some very low dose nutrients and have decided to use the more natural supplements for the plant..less is more I guess or, at least with this girl. I'm guessing the substrate (miracle gro performance organics) I'm using is providing plenty for her. Haven't seen any signs of deficiency so hence the reason for microbrew, kelp, big bloom, and earth pods by earthworm technologies....I've been using pods since the start. Trying to utilize all the nutrients out of the soil before adding artificially.
You want to have both spectrums. The ratio is more strain dependent, but red light should be used in conjunction with blue light to increase photosynthesis and plant size. Here is a good youtube video where he does an experiment using blue and red lights. Good luck and happy growing! 👊 www.youtube.com/watch
This week she started stacking bud sights and frosting up a bit, the smell is steadily getting more pungent. Still staying pretty much organic so no heavy feeding of supplemental nutrients just sticking with the basics and what the soil has to offer...seems to be working. Enviornmentals have been stable. She's really starting to take shape or the flowers are. Ice noticed more of the sativa traits come out more into flower than I did in veg pretty neat to watch it almost morph into another plant.
Fourth week of flower and she's really stretched up to this point I'm hoping that is done and she'll start packing it on. Feeding hasn't changed much other that I'm adding and a carbohydrate to the mix. Adding some supplemental lighting to some areas that dont seem to be getting adequate light since the canopy isn't exactly even...not sure the scrogging was applied correctly. Over all she is very healthy. I'm chomping at the bit to harvest, but patience is a virtue and will pay off with a superior smoke. Not sure how long flowering will take at this point just from what I can tell probably a little longer than expected..after all it is a sativa strain.
Started out the week with a timer malfunction..so ole girl went a full 24 with out light, thankfully no signs of stress that I can tell. Over all shes healthy and thriving. Feeding hasn't changed other than frequency and amount but no supplemental nutrients.
@MoGrow Hi mate quick fix is to get yourself an empty bottle chuck the lid away add about half full of water add some yeast and mix it up Now hang the bottle up somewhere in the tent And the flies will be attracted to the bottle and drown Works wonders in the orchards where I live they catch thousands apon thousands this way Hope this helps Mate
Still fattening up, no sign of tricomes cloudiness had a problem with phosphorus so we started with beastie bloomz and seems to be responding well. Shes really smelly with hints of fuel, pine, and citrusy sweet.
Started this week with her last feeding and flushing ole girl for 10 days or longer need be. Looking for a 30% amber and 70% cloudy tricome coloration. So far everytime is going as planned although I am seeing some of the plant still acting like it's not finishing out as fast so I've toyed with the idea of partial harvest if those colas dont finish out soon. Using straight water ph around 6.
This plant was an easy going gal. I ran in to some issues during flower that possibly led to a enough stress that she hermied and it wasn't until the last week that I noticed nanners and chopped it down the next Am so the flushing period was cut short. Very satisfied with the outcome of the strain, definitely happy I have clones.
