What's up all?
This is my very first grow Ever ! ! Super excited, and glad to be on here with such Great growers! Doing this diary to record my progress and maybe help some other newbies in the process. I know I studied these diaries for weeks before I got the nerve up to start. Thanks for any comment /suggestions or whatever. I'll take it.
Peace Out ! !
LET'S PUT ONE IN THE AIR ! !

LET'S PUT ONE IN THE AIR ! !
Plants are progressing well, started 1/4 strength nutes this week due to nutes in Happy Frog soil. Transplanted 5 of six plants into 1 gal. spring pots. (24hrs. of darkness for roots to recover) Sprinkled mycorrhizae in hole first.
1 plant appears to have spider mites, left in solo cup and separated from other plants, which show no signs of infestation. Started (sprayed) 1:1 mix of alcohol/water on leaves. Seems to have worked. (we will see).
Plants are growing well, all plants look healthy. 5 of 6 plants were topped, the last plant, the runt, is no longer infected with spider mites and growing well. 4th node, (on the runt, GG#2) is starting. Gorilla Glue #1 was cut using the manifold style, will tie down two new Main colas when they're longer. All plants seem to be recovering nicely from Topping. BB#3 progressing well, 1st set of colas are peeking out. 1/2 strength of the nutes until the end of the week, then will go full strength.

Peace ! ! !
Moved all plants to the large chamber with HID light. Set to 650w of 1000w, 30 inches from plants.
All plants progressing well, responding well to full strength nutrients. Plants are recovering from LST and reaching for the light.
All plants progressing well. They continue to reach for the light and are responding well to the LST'ing. They are loving the nutrients and are being fed every three days.
BB #3 is growing fast, started her on nutes earlier than the others & repotted her in a 1 gal spring pot. She showed no stress from the move to her new pot.
All plants are progressing well. I repotted them in 5 gal spring pots. I began using Pro-Mix HP w/mycorrhizae soil, I was using FF Happy Frog, it's too hot when you're using Nutes. I will give them a couple of days to recover. I installed the fan and ducting for smell control and help with ventilation. Purchased two smaller fans to replace big one in the corner, will install today. Each plant took 6 cups of water after replant, will feed again tomorrow. Will increase light intensity in the nxt few day now that I have the ducting blowing heat out.
BB # 3 is also progressing well, will add him to large side with HID light soon.
All plants progressing well, repotted plants in 5 gal spring pots & watered thoroughly. Humidity is still kinda high, will be buying a dehumidifier this week. Continue to do light pruning and defoliation to remove larger fan leaves that block the light of some of the smaller middle stems.
BB#3 growing rapidly and she seems to love the nutes, will go from 1/2 strength to 3/4 this week. (Day 34)
Started GSC #1 this week, tail has sprouted and was placed in soil.
Plants growing and progressing well. Watering with quarter strength nutrients, will use only water and compost tea for the next two waters, preparing for flower.
GSC #1 breaking thru & starting to grow.
All plants growing well, last time watering with half strength Veg nutes, then watered with compost tea and sensizym, preparing for flush for flowering. Installed scrog net, plants are responding well to scrog training. Will start with quarter strength flowering nutes, will feed nutes every other watering.
IMO, I kept the girls in veg too long, they've gotten very tall & will probably stretch alot at the beginning of Flower. I was trying to get as many colas as possible. Hopefully the scrog net will help keep the top even and not too tall. We'll see!
Nxt. time I will flip to flower earlier and install the net before they are at net level. Lesson learned...
All plants progressing well! Switched lights over to flowering lamp. One week of flush with compost tea and pH'd water. Preparing for quarter strength flowering nutrients. Will begin defoliation of fan leaves, and will begin to clean up the bottom half of the plant for Unnecessary foliage.
All plants progressing well! 1/4 strength nutes this week. Defoliation will continue, clear the bottom of useless branches and leaves, large fan leaves to go.
All plants progressing well, continue to defoliate, and trim bottom 1/3 of plants. Watering at 1/2 strength on nutes. Started Sonic Bloom at 1/2 strength this week.
All plants progressing well, pistils are forming. Watering at full strength nutes, plants are responding well to nutes. Smell is starting to get strong.
All plants progressing well, they are taller than I wanted, will remember for nxt grow to switch to flower sooner. Pistils are growing and connecting. Plants are looking Frosty!!! Responding well to full strength nutrients.
Plants are progressing well! GDP is touching the light, burned top tip of plant. Continue to tie it to the side to prevent touching of light. Very very Frosty, buds are getting fatter and longer. Looking good, will start flush soon.
Plants are progressing well! Tricomes are blowing up all over. Pistils are getting colorful and growing. Buds are dense and growing also. Looking Good!
Clones from Grand Daddy Purple are sprouting roots and moved to Solo cups.
2nd Gen. seeds have sprouted and have broken ground.

Will start flush nxt. week!
Plants are progressing well! Started Flush this week, PH'd water & Compost tea. Tricomes are looking Frosty and pistils are producing fat, long buds. Tricomes are clear under microscope. Very happy this far!!
Plants continue to progress Well! Continued with flush of PH'd water and compost tea. Tricomes are mostly cloudy with specks of amber starting. They look Very Sticky and the smell is Fabulous!!! Can't wait to harvest!
Plants continue to progress Well! Pistils are curling and changing colors. Buds are thick. Frost is abundant!!! Tricomes are mostly cloudy & some amber. Last water of PH'd water and compost tea. Will start 48 hours of darkness and begin harvest.
For my very first grow Ever!! It was a Blast!! With regular attention and care the three stains I grew were fantastic! Bruce Banner, Gorilla Glue #4 & Grand Daddy Purple.
The Bruce Banner was the strongest with an almost immediate head rush and a very mello body high to follow. All who hit it did a double take when looking at the blunt.
The Grand Daddy Purple had the best taste, fruity and lite, smooth and inviting with a high that slowly takes over your body until you are content.
Gorilla Glue was also powerful and quick with a more earthly taste with a mix of head high and body high equally. All in all I would /will do them again. I have taken clones from each and purchased another larger tent with all the goodies. I'm officially hooked on growing. Thanks for the kind words & advice.
Peace until next time!! ✌️🏿
