I put a single seed in a damp paper towel and ziploc, left it on the cable box and within 48hrs she popped! Super excited to get going! I'm gonna be documenting this grow to learn as much as I can. The medium I'm using is pro-mix organic, which is apparently classified as soilless. After precisely 48hrs, I lightly pre-watered her new home and put her under. Another 60 hours later and she's nearly emerged! Less than 5 days from germ to sprout, these autos are crazy fast. She's under 28w 5000k currently... one 15w (100lumen/w) led and a 13w cfl to keep the heat up. I never thought my problem would be my case being too cold lol, must be the high cfm fan and led combo. These screw in leds are the future and I have to say I won't miss cfl. The 15w led is cooler to the touch and is putting out twice the light!!

Fish emulsion 0.1 mll

Sprinkled top layer with 1 tsp bone meal day 8. Started very light nutes day 10: 2 drops of fish emulsion and 2 drops of blackstrap molasses added to 0.5L of water. Getting new growth everyday but leaf tips are curling up and its not heat so I am worried that fungus gnats are eating my roots, going to let her dry out for a few days.

Temps are stable at 24C under 30w LED for transition into flowering, 15w soft white and 15w daylight. The daylight bulb is keeping her so short I may not need to LST, probably best to let an auto do its thing anyways.

The frost is piling up... Winter is coming 🙌 Around day 38 she started putting out a constant stink, would not recommend this strain for absolute stealth growers! On a side note, the heatsink I ordered has finally arrived, so I'm looking into a running a single vero29 3500K at roughly 37W for next time 😁 Also managed to get the humidity down to 30-35%, which I'm thrilled about! Was reading that dry conditions stimulate resin production 😱

Witnessing her swell up this week 😲 The smell is transitioning from that traditional skunk smell to more of a sweet-sour pungent aroma. Planning to harvest around day 65 😵

Harvest any day now 😁 would recommend this strain to anyone, the buds actually smell like pineapple 😍 considering myself very lucky to have had this grow go off as smoothly as it did .. no lights falling, no temp issues, and the humidity was too low for any bud rot or insects! Will have harvest report with dry weight posted as soon as I can! Thank you to anyone who took the time to check out this diary and best of luck in your own endeavours 😄

Waiting to smoke the bud until at least 2 weeks cured! Although I can say the scissor hash was potent, so I'm expecting some strong smoke for Christmas time! Once again, thank you to anyone who checked out the grow and happy holidays 😁

Showed sex rather early, at around 14 days. Very stable genetics, extremely frosty and no hermie even using only 50 watts. She was very forgiving of my novice gardening skills. Nothing but good things to say, will be growing this strain again.

Hi your plant looks unhappy it could be Molybdenum Deficiency - Problem: The initial symptoms may appear similar to a nitrogen deficiency (yellowing of older, lower leaves). Leaves may become mottled or spotted. However, the tell-tale sign of a molybdenum deficiency is the leaves may start to display a unique orange, red or pink color around the edges which will start to move toward the center of the leaf. Sometimes the color appears in the middle of the leaves as opposed to the edges. Solution: A real molybdenum deficiency in cannabis is rare, and even scientists did not realize this mineral is needed by most plants because it is often present in low concentrations all the time. For cannabis plants, molybdenum tends gets locked out at lower pH ranges. Your cannabis plant may show signs of a molybdenum deficiency if the pH at the roots is too low, although it is likely that molybdenum is there. That is because when the pH of your root zone is off, your cannabis cannot properly absorb molybdenum through its roots. Therefore the first step is to ensure that you have the correct pH for your growth medium. note: After a molyndenum deficiency is cleared up, the problem (pink coloring and yellowing leaves) will stop appearing on other parts of the plant, usually within a week. Please note that leaves which have been damaged by a molybdenum deficiency will probably not recover or turn green, so you want to pay attention to other growth for signs of recovery. I hope this helps! I’m gonna follow and see how you get on!

Also don't water with fridge temp water that will be too cold they need room temp water, if your water with cold water that will slow growth also👍🏼

I need to pull about 18g (0.36gpw) out of this PC for a 100% ROI. Staying hopeful and going to estimate a 14g yield!!! Let me know your guess!

Looks cool the PC case👍🏼 I can tell you the reason the plant is so small though, it's most likely because your using a shallow pot, if you had used a taller thinner pot you could have easily LSTd the plant all the way to the base of the case then let it grow from the base up, if you get my drift. You need to pick up some food for her too she looks like she's needs some bloom nutes. Good luck fella😀

@moarpheus, I've tried both they were both bad IMO use tap water sat outside for 24 hours you will be fine with organic ferts don't have to PH water then 👍🏼
moarpheus
moarpheuscommented7 years ago
@PharmaZ, I was using bottled water at first, then switched to brita filtered tap water. The water is in the fridge for at least a day before using, but I don't check pH.
PharmaZ
PharmaZcommented7 years ago
@moarpheus, the go box is really good especially if you don't have the ideal setup like you or I. I've never had to PH the soil once and up until last week my leaves were dark green, and healthy. Do you PH adjust your water? Do you let your water sit in sunlight for 24hr before using it?

Love the mini grow box!! I have a 5 inch flowering bag seed clone that would fit perfectly in that.🤘

@moarpheus, no LST just broke it off while defoliating and stuck it in a small starter pot and kept it in flower. I cant believe it survived and is budding up.Haha first clone ever too.
moarpheus
moarpheuscommented8 years ago
@Bigpun, Thank you! Can't imagine the LST you did to keep it at 5 inches lol! I've got nearly a foot of vertical space to work with in here so I'm hoping to have it fill out! :D
