Another big week for me I think as a first time grower. (I guess they're all big weeks when it's your first grow 😃) I put up a scrog net at the beginning of the week...and removed it by the end of the week. I decided that I was adding yet another layer of complexity that I wasn't ready for yet.
The young ladies drank down 1 gallon of nutes each on Monday, June 10 and Wed, June 12.
Also on the 12th there was some serious fan leaf removal, more FIMming, and since I could now see from the leaf removal more staples added or moved around for LST.
Friday the 14th the ladies drank 2/3 of a gallon of nutes each. I wanted to make sure that they're gonna be thirsty on Sunday before the light switch happens.
I'm pretty happy with how the girls are shaping up (or OUT as it were) and how thick the structure is getting. If I've absorbed the information I've been reading correctly. They look really good and I see A LOT of potential bud sights.
I'm still terrified of killing them somewhere along the way, but my paranoia aside, the plan is to switch them over to 12/12 lights on Sunday night to kick off the Flowering cycle for Week 8. I'm a little worried about possibly jumping the gun a little but I don't know how much they're going to shoot up and continue to grow the rest of the way.
You live and you learn, right? Every grow environment is different and what works for 1 person may not work for another. You grow, you adapt to the changing circumstances of the variables thrown at you.
Hi @@Pseudo, Thanks for checking out my diary. No, the plan I was following from YouTube channel GrowPotCheaply had me using Bloom for the first (roughly) 3 weeks. I actually got the length of use wrong (along with a lot of other things) during my first grow. I should have only been using Bloom for the first 10 days during the seedling stage. The author of the plan states that the nutrients found in the Bloom formula do a better job of promoting root growth in the early stage of growth.
If you read through the rest of this diary and my next you'll see all the lovely mistakes I made. hahaha
Peu d'évolution sur les 4 premier semaine de Flo, tu a récolter trop tôt elle on prit du retard pour je ne sais quel raison mais c'est domage trop peu de rendement, les tête ont l'air très légère et aéré
@@Pseudo, yea I had a lot of environment issues during my first grow. If I am remembering correctly, I believe the week you are referencing I had to run out twice that particular week. Once to buy a portable air conditioner and again to buy a dehumidifier. It was a rough ride through the first grow but I managed not to kill them...which was just about my only goal (besides a little bud to smoke).
Now the 2nd grow which I just finished not too long ago...that was seriously disappointing. I had much higher hopes...but I am in week 3 now of Grow 3 (will start posting that diary soon) and I do believe that I have figured out what my biggest issue was...and I had absolutely no clue!
Stay tuned for diary 3 for the answer.
@BIGBUDZ450, I think I might have been a little over zealous this first grow and it may have hurt my bud size. With the current grow I'm trying a little more "less is more", or at the very least trying not to do too much. I'm still learning, or trying to learn. I've seen videos of plants in so many different states that it's hard to judge what's the right amount. I did do a big defol almost 2 weeks ago. My current diary is about to be 2 weeks behind. I've been stupid busy and update it when I can. I'm going to try and get it up to date this weekend.
@Puffer_Bill, Thanks for the comments & props Bill. 👊 I'm still back-filling the diary and I don't want to give away too much 😜 but I will say that the girls are doing OK. I haven't killed them yet. haha
