Early in the week, transplanted Inzane and Glittlez to 5-gallon fabric grow bags, and GDr2-v2 to 1-gallon bag. Soil used is about 75% Fox Farm Ocean Forest, 25% Fox Farm Happy Frog (was the other way around for young vegetation stage, as FFOF is known to burn young plants). Added a good amount of pearlite to the soil mix as well. Coated roots with MYCO+ as usual.
Topped Inzane and Glittlez mid-week
Started LST on Inzane and Glittlez so they're about level with the other plants height-wise.
Turned on the bloom settings on my lights - some people have both on through the entire grow, but I waited a bit since the plants were having issues at first. Still on 24h light, so it's basically just adding more light spectrum. Shouldn't hurt anything, but might speed growth a bit.
Transplanted Orange Harambe to 5-gallon fabric grow bag toward the end of the week
Topped Orange Harambe right at the end of the week
GDr2-v2 is being fussy again; some of the higher leaves turning orange despite the same care as the other plants. She may get left behind if she's not in decent shape when all of the others are ready for the flower stage, but not a big deal - it was an extra plant that I started a couple days later in Week 1 because I thought I had damaged the original GDr2 seed during germination. I'm happy with 4 out of 5 good plants on my first grow, but I'll see how she does over the next week or so.
Good luck man. I’m really coming to love the Ethos seeds, really nice looking girls once they’re on their way, get ready for the greatest smells imaginable.✌️🏻🤤✌️🏻
How long was the Grape Diamonds Flowering phase? My first broke soil today at 48 hrs and wondering if there are any key things I should be aware of when growing this gorgeous lil lady? Anything would help and thanks for your diary bro. cheers
@WickedBastid, I appreciate that bro, I am excited to say the least the first two that came out were Diamonds and Daddy and those are the two strains Im running in DWC tubs...I wanted the cycles to be about the same with the plant structure as well so I can run one of each in the tubs I have. Doing a grow comparison with the microbes I am using. I didnt want to stick each strain in the same tub if the cycles are really off and they structure off differently, But Imma go with it and keep updating. Cheers bro
@BruceyBanger, I'm just in the 4th week of flowering, so not sure yet. Keep an eye on my diary 😉
A little tough to tell how long it should have taken to get as big as it is, because I had my lights too close at first (didn't go according to the light's manual), so in the 2nd/3rd week the plants were a little sick until I corrected it. But Grape Diamonds had taken it the worst, and took longer to recover than the others, so I ended up waiting an extra couple of weeks to switch to flower so that she could catch up and have sturdier stems. I switched to flower after week 10, so it probably would have been week 8 or so without the early issues. I also just used nutrient-rich soil all the way through the veg stage (no nutes until flower), so yours might grow a bit faster. Good luck with your grow, man!
@WickedBastid, I agree fully if something is worth doing its worth doing well. I invested in something similar a ready to go grow tent with all the essentials i also went for the dutch pro nutes and after now sampling my first harvest i can say it was worth every penny.
@Merchant_Lord, Thanks! Yep, it's my first grow. A bit ambitious for the first one, but I'm following tips from a few experienced growers (plus all the stuff I'm seeing on this site and YouTube), so hoping for good results as long as I stick with their advice.
