So far so good. 3 plants all m39xgdp photo periods. All in Pro Mix HP under 240w quantum boards 3500k. Middle one was actually from a seed that popped 2 plants it was growing slow at first but is now catching up nice. I took clones from all 3 a week ago. All topped and some lst. The one on the right I damaged the roots on it transplanting but it seems to be bouncing back well these last 2 weeks. Plant on the left has been great had slight nute burn early but corrected it. Also the b52 I swap every other feeding woth cal mag. Will be feeding big bud in 2 weeks and also will use overdrive in the last 2 weeks. Day 7 of 12/12 decided to strip the lowers off the plants , branches that will never make it to the top. May strip again in week 3. I just hacked it all in 1 shot to give them stress in 1 go rather then over multiple days . Hopfully this has a positive impact.

Started big bud in week 2 along with some cal max, all the girls are looking healthy and the stretch seems to be slowing may defoliate again this week coming up. This is actually the end of week 2 was fairly busy and not able to update earlier. Going a lot smoother then my first grow /crosses fingers.

Week is going well so far. Gave another trim yesterday, mostly just trimmed off bottom leaves and branches that are not going to make it to the top. Could of trimmed a little more but do not want to vause to much stress at this point. Girls are almost done stretching I hope may have to rerig the lights to get some extra height if not.

Start of week 4 . Everything is still growing strong. Deciding on removing a few more fan leaves. Getting fairly crowded. Buds are stacking nice. Hopfully they get nice and dense with some purple hues. Temps I am keeping fairly low between 67-70f but I can not get humidty under control it ranges from 65 to 70% , hopfully there is enough air flow to avoid any mold issues with the 2 fans. Mid-late week 4 update... This week I started seeing some leaf problems only on a few leafs. But I had this same thing happen first grow and it spread very fast as i couldnt figure it out. Im thinking it is phosphorus defiency as this ph perfect seems to ph my water to about 6.3. Anyway all 3 got a flush 2 days ago along with a feeding of cal mag only . Next watering going to feed as normal only ph it down to 5.8 and hope this fixes my issues before they get out of hand. I also defoliated a few more leafs today and yesterday. As you can see its fairly crowded. I was only expecting to grow 2 plants never thought that middle girl would grow into something so beutiful.

Buds seem kinda small for 5 weeks in? They seem to be still fattening . I flushed them early last week and gave some cal mag due to some leaf issues I was having mentioned in week 4. I also ended up phing this "perfect ph" down to 5.8 last 2 waterings since it seems to ph my water to 6.3. May up the feed of the 3 part since I have been running at 1/4 to half dose most of the grow and see how that does there is minor burning on the tips but may it be caused by lack of nutes, I am not sure , I have been running big bud at full strength as well as b52 while in flower . This is my 2nd grow always learning and oddly enough I do not even smoke it I grow it for my wife who has colitus and it helps her with cramps and appetite. May grow a 1:1 or a 20:1 cbd strain next.

3 days into week 6 since flip. Buds are looking small compare to last grow , overall plants seem healthy. Figured out finally why the small buds. Basically I messed up, last grow my plants got to tall and close to the lights so I dimmed them to 50% or so. Still really bright bit decided to test my lights today with a lux meter and something wasnt right. Anyway out comes the screw driver adjust the ballast and now there so much brighter , what a fail on my part. Still a few weeks left here is to hoping they will fatten up now that my qb's are running max again.

Not much has changed. Buds still not really bulking up to much. Judging by the amount of orange hairs I think they are within 2-3 weeks of being ready at least the top buds. I have some nutrient burn going on now as well after upping the feed. So just have been watering with plain ph water the last 2 waterings. Ordered up some Barney's farm Pineapple Express autos and a Canuck's Cheese auto this week as well for next grow.

Not much changing really. Raised the lights abit since the runt(middle plant) seems to be foxtailing a bit. Her nugs are so dense now though even though there not huge. Right plant is doing the worse , I bent a lot of branches down to make more room and light for the main colas and she has hated me for it. She got stunted pretty bad oh well live and learn. Overall happy to be getting something , it smells amazing , kinda fruity and not overwhelming at all, you dont really even need a carbon filter with this strain. Suppose to be a 7 week strain , Ill be letting them go another week or 2 then start checking trics.

Well made the decision to chop that middle girl , she was doing the nest and seemed the furthest along and really wanted room to spread out the other 2 plants. Her triches were mostly cloudy/clear with a few amber when chopped. Nugs seem fairly dense though I been fooled before after drying. Ill give a dry weight of her in a week or 2 , maybe an ounce or 2 if I had to guess but will see. Will let the other 2 plants keep going for at least 2 weeks , if that left plant will dense up further down the branches she maybe a real winner. Possibbly stagger harvest her. The right plant not expecting to much out of her but hopfully she suprises me in the next few weeks.

Ended up with 58.5g of dried bud off that first plant and about 2oz of trim/fluffy bud. All jared up today and put into a jar for curing. The other 2 plants are still going. They have a fair bit of amber now on the top buds so thinking I am going to partial harvest them possibly this week. Also found the left plant shooting a few bananas. I plucked them off. Hopfully doesnt effect the bud to much. Edit ... ended up doing a partial harvest about a week later and harvested the rest 2 weeks ago. Ended up getting a few seeds in that first plant but not enough to ruin it. Overall I got maybe 5 oz, 2 oz of nice dense buds and maybe 3 of fluffier buds. Did not have time to get pics or weigh it all had a lot going on.
