ThatsNotMe I think I'm slightly behind compared to where I was hoping to be at the end of week 3. I've repotted one to see how it reacts and it seems to be liking it. I've also switched the flower lamps on (reds) as before I was only using blue lights (which I believe might have caused the delay).

ThatsNotMe Day 1 (of week 4): Repotted the second girl this morning and dissected the twisted one. Lowered the lights a bit and watered them slightly with some rainwater (of hopefully lower pH) Pleased with progress today. They seem to have started moving finally. Day 3: Bought ph meter and ph down solution. Tap water at 7.5 which probably didn't help the plants. Watered them with ph 6.2 water and topped them. Day 4: Girls seem to be recovering nicely after topping. Two new tops are forming on each plant. There's some loss of colour on plant 2's leaves which I'll have to keep an eye on. I'm pretty certain I had pH issues that are now resolved so we'll see.

ThatsNotMe Week 6. The plants are growing much faster than they did last week. I started some training towards the end of last week with a plan to put it under the scrog, but I am now upgrading the 100cm tall tent to 200cm, so I might just let them grow. I have topped the plants again and defoliated few days later. Dealing with fungus gnats and some house renovations after which the girls are getting a new home (probably end of next week).

ThatsNotMe Finally finished redecorating and the girls now have a new bigger (60 x 60 x 200cm) home. Today is girls' last day on 18/6 schedule. Starting 12/12 from tomorrow. In case anyone is wondering why I'm using Canna Aqua with Canna Terra Professional Plus potting mix, it's because I'm planning to switch to a bubbler pot for my next grow

ThatsNotMe Nice growth in the last couple of days. Since it's been taking 5-6 days for the pots to dry out between feeds I've switched to heavy feeding schedule (from Canna's Grow Guide site). My automatic fire extinguisher has also arrived so will be installing it in the tent when I get a minute. One funny thing I've noticed is that with my current 12/12 schedule between 8am and 8pm I don't get much time when I can actually open the tent and enjoy looking at the plants.

ThatsNotMe The girls are no longer aligned when it comes to the watering schedule. One has shown some burnt tips so I backed off nutes slightly for this watering round. One is also growing much faster than the other one and I'm not really sure what to do with it. The upgrades are coming! ... and they're here.

ThatsNotMestarted grow question 6y ago
I've just impulsively purchased 2 x 120w Quantum Board from Alibaba and it should arrive within the next 18 days. When that happens, the girls will be a good few weeks into flower. Should I upgrade the lights in the tent as soon as they arrive or wait until the next grow? Ta

Looks like a 2x2? I recommend hanging them immediately and not using the full 240w from the QBs but dimming to max 200w. (Assuming they use HLG-120H-XX drivers). Watt for watt, any QB, knockoff or not, will already absolutely wipe the floor with that purple fixture. Handle with care.

ThatsNotMe Another week. The upgrades are here and apart from switching over to DWC which I might do at some point, my tent is completed. Looking forward to seeing how much of a difference the new lights will make. Defoliated/lollipopped the girls a little too. Exciting weeks ahead.

ThatsNotMe Roll on week 11. I think the girls are looking very pretty but also quite different from each other. One is short but thick and bulky and smells great. The other one is quite a bit more stretched with different looking buds and no smell. Watering every 2 days with 8 litres of water between them two.

ThatsNotMe I think I stunted them last week by defoliating slightly with every watering, so will try to not touch them anymore. I'm also struggling to keep the colas straight as they're getting heavier and fighting high humidity after smelling some stale air in the morning after watering day. Got a dehumidifier since as well. Started giving them PK 13/14 as I've not seen much vertical growth in flowers recently. Day 82: Watered with pH'd water only due to suspected nute lockout on the stretched girl.

ThatsNotMe It's been raining a lot and I've been struggling to keep the humidity down in the tent. Especially with how ineffective my dehumidifier is in lower temps. Getting there slowly. Some yellowing at the bottom of one of the plants and some slight nute burn on the other. I think it's all due to the pH lockout as I've measured runoff at 5.0. Probably due to the salt build-up. Plain pH water for the last two waterings.

I think it's the right moment to start giving them PK 13/14. The usually the plants need to start receiving those supplements the last 3 to 4 weeks of flower and Blue Dream usually takes between 7 to 9 weeks to get ready so I believe it's a good moment to start! Good luck! 👍

ThatsNotMe I've not fed any nutes for the last 4 waterings. Just plain pH'd water and recently some Cannazym and CannaBoost. The yellowing and burning seems to have stopped on the girl on the right but yellowing continues on the one on the left and colas are light and wobbly. I should have probably flushed both a week ago or so, now they're all tied up and not sure if I can get them out for a flush, so I might need to attempt to do it in the tent and instead of pH water flush them with light solution. Pretty clear at this point that I've got no idea what I'm doing. But I'm definitely only doing 1 plant next time. 28/08: I've flushed one and semi flushed the other girl today. Hopefully my setup can keep the humidity in check as I had to do it just before the lights off.

ThatsNotMe 02/09 Looks like few more weeks. I flushed both last week and managed to bring the runoff EC to acceptable levels, by flushing with light nute solution. Also started watering both separately as it makes it a lot easier to control the humidity. Will water one of the girls tomorrow with either 1/2 or 1/4 strength feed. 03/09 Actually I think I'm going to start wrapping it up. 1 of the girls got pH'd water with Cannazym and CannaBoost and the other one is going to get the same tomorrow. I can see some amber trichomes appearing on lower buds and I'm keen to move to the next grow. 04/09 Watered the other girl with pH'd water with Cannazym and CannaBoost. Runoff higher than I would like at 1300ppm and a lot of white pistils still on buds (lots of orange ones too but somehow not visible in pictures) 06/09 Another watering for girl #1. Just pH'd water this time. Runoff at 800ppm. 07/09 Last day of week 15. Watered girl #2 with just pH'd water. Runoff also at 800ppm.

ThatsNotMe No more feeding. Now just need to ride it out on pH'd water until harvest. I'd like to get the runoff PPM down significantly before the chop, but looking at the girls I think I've got plenty of time. I think I'm going to chop on Tuesday. I'm struggling to capture that on camera but most of the pistils are no longer white.

ThatsNotMe First grow so made a lot of mistakes, but hey. Would have preferred to wait another 2 weeks but I've already been flushing for 3 weeks and the girls have gone all yellow. The nute lockout towards the end of flower was the biggest cause of issues, but not the only one. From the beginning the plants seemed stunted so maybe it was the medium. Anyhow, no one really cares and I don't either. Lessons learned and off to a next one. Drying now so will update numbers when dried.
