Apple Straws

Bobby_b everything's been going great this week. started this week with an aggressive defoliation before flipping to flower. photos are from 6 days after switching to 12 hour of light. as far as nutrients go, we'll be dialing back on rhizotonic and bumping up the cannaboost. I'll likely start pushing 3.5 ml per liter. definitely didn't think we'd be filling up the tent this much first go around ! ( this is my first grow ever). I did start noticing that without a dehumidifier keeping humidity below 65% was going to be almost impossible as where I live is very humid. purchase the spider farmer dehumidifier and so far have no complaints.

Bobby_b I started off this week by bumping up the cannaboost to 3 ml/l and keeping the rest of my nutrient mix the same. With work being hectic I completley forgot to adjust the pH of my solution before feeding for 3 days. luckily I realized before any real issues popped up. there is a singular branch pictured above that may have been affected by the incorrect pH but with it being so localized I'm not sure. other than that shes looking great a growing fast! Posting on day 15 and she seems to have a few more days of stretching to do. I plan on doing a heavy defoliation again around day 21 so I'll likely post some before and after pics for the week then. Happy growing everyone. Don't forget to buy some extra seeds if you're in the US before nov 12th!

Bobby_b plant was definitely off to a terrible start. seed did not come up properly and have been fighting with nutrients and chasing issues ever since. finally getting to a place where things look to be going good. will be documenting every few days from now till harvest

Bobby_b OK, so a lot has happened since my last post. everything was going well and then I came out one morning to check over her and she had hermed ?🔫. with it being so early in flower, and this being my first grow attempt, I was really kind of torn with whether I should keep throwing the expensive nutrients at it or go ahead and call it a loss. After doing some research on the Internet and getting absolutely no comfort in either decision, I decided that it would be better for a learning experience to finish out the first grow and see how bad it got. If It got too seedy I planned on letting it go but figure I had nothing to lose by trying to tough it out. I initially only noticed seeded buds. I never noticed any bananas or any signs of stress that would lead to herming, but with how thick the canopy is, I’m not shocked that something was able to pop up. I do, however, have questions if it has something to do with the genetics. As I wasn’t able to find one thing pointing towards stress herming. I kept her chugging and developed some nitrogen toxicity and drooping leaves along the way after not being able to water for a day. as of today she still pushing strong and starting to smell really gassy and strong akin to permanent marker maybe a little sweeter. Lots of bud development this week so I’m interested to see how much bud mass I’m actually able to walk away from with this.

Bobby_b final week before flipping the flower. cleaned up the lower part of the plant in prep for the flip. also added a SCROG net to help even out canopy.
