Strawberry mango haze super auto and Panama lime super auto. Both planted in 5 gallon cloth pots on 7/23. SMH sprouted on 7/27. The Panama lime never came up.
I'm growing indoors in a storage closet under my basement stairs. The space is about 4 x 8 with a sloping ceiling height ranging from 8 ft to 3 ft, give or take. Right now I have a 4 x 4 area or it setup, with around 5 ft of height to work with. I have 3 300 watt LED lights. 2 of them are Mars Hydro and 1 is galaxy hydro. So right around 420 actual wattage. I have a 6in carbon filter inline setup but not a whole lot for intake. I'm working on it though, right now I have 2 3inch vent holes cut behind my square fan. I'm the type who wants to constantly be doing or changing something. So I keep messing with my setup. I started with a t5 with 8 bulbs and the Galaxy hydro LED. But after the middle bulbs stopped working I decided to get the Mars lights. It's been a ton cooler in my room without the big t5. I'll probably end up putting it to use at a later time if I decide to use separate spaces for veg and flower.
I've been tinkering around with bag seed for a few months now with little success. Lots of newb shit going on around here. lol. I've had 3 out of 5 end up being male. I had one plant still battling it out until about a week ago. More newb shit. Anyways.... I'm doing this journal retrospectively for the strawberry mango haze that is currently 56 days old (from day the seedling emerged from soil) I also have a bagseed female growing that is 2 months old. The poor thing is doing a reveg though I think (pretty sure... Lowering finger count on leaves) ya know, newb shit. Lol! So, I think that just about covers it. Advice is very much welcome.
SMH at 17 days. I'm not sure what was wrong with the leaves. I put her outside at this point because I was putting 12/12 on some bagseed I had indoor to sex them. I fed her for the first time with FF grow big and micro bloom. 1 tsp per gallon of each
This is the lastest on my strawberry mango haze super auto. She is starting to look so pretty. I'm unsure about the flowering time on her. I've read between 75 and 110 days.
So I'm at day 77 on this super auto. I'm curious how long it will go. I've read 90-100 days. I'm trying to get the hang of looking at trichomes. So far I'm seeing a lot of cloudy but still a good amount that are clear ish.
I'm thinking of doing another big defoliation. I've done it once and it seemed to do good. I'm just terrified of mold or bud rot.
I have no idea what I'm doing or what to expect. Lol. Her leaves look a bit dark. And she has only grown three and one lobed leaves since she started flowering I believe. I'm not sure what that means.
I'm at day 95 on this pretty thing. I keep forgetting to update and check on this journal. Oops. But she seems to be doing okay. I don't think she will be done for another couple of weeks though. There's lots of new white still. I did take off two spots of the plant. I wanted to mess with drying and curing. Plus I'm getting a bit antsy about smoking my very own smoke. It's been a couple of days since I did that and she doesn't seem to care. She doesn't smell great though,which worries me some. But if I pinch a bud or something the smell is seriously so awesome! I hope it's normal. I hadn't fed any nutrients for about a week. Just flushed through a bunch of tap water twice. But since there's still so much new pistils coming in I decided to give some. The trichomes are about 85% cloudy, maybe more. I still suck at using my microscope though so I feel like I'm not very accurate. I think that I'm going to switch my lighting down to 12/12 and let my other plant flower while this one finishes.
So this thing is still just truckin away here. She is packing on more white hairs still and there isn't a whole lot of orange. Day 103. I've started feeding less often and I'm considering not feeding anything except the florablend until I flush.
I did chop off the top 4 or so inches of my main cola. I'm out of smoke and my husband requested that I don't buy anymore. So I hope this ends up being decent even though it isn't done. I can't just not smoke for my birthday or Thanksgiving. Right? Lol but my plant hasn't seemed to be too upset about it. I'm kind of hoping it will help trick her into putting energy into the other branches. I flipped light timers to 12/12 last night. After having switched it to 14/10 two nights prior. I read that will help them to finish up. So yeah. I guess I'll see how it works out.
She is still super white and going strong. I have an area between a couple of buds that I like to stick my finger between. It comes out all sticky and omg the smell is like heaven. This is my favorite part of this growing experience. I might love smelling it as much as I love smoking it. It's almost like a fruity menthol. I have had the lights switched for a week now to 12/12. I've noticed that she is getting a little bit more orange patches. I'm hoping that's a good thing. I haven't added any nutrients this week. I've watered twice. Yeah.. so I'll be waiting around hoping to see this beauty start to finish up. sniffing my finger and stuff. lol
Still watching and waiting. The leaves are starting to change colors so I'm taking that as a good sign. There's still some clear trichomes when I peek at them, but mainly cloudy. I'm thinking I'll do one final flush with water and then stop watering from there. I think she will be ready by the time she dries out again. Yum!
I'm sort of afraid that I'm about to screw everything up. I wanted to chop it so bad this morning. But I resisted. I'm kind of hoping for some advice. Should I be doing anything in particular right now to get her to finish up?
The strawberry mango haze super auto turned out to be a successful but long first grow. I'm sure I made plenty of newbie mistakes and probably overfed and over or under watered a few times. I got pretty freaked out at the end because I think that bud rot was starting. Which may have been paranoia.
She smelled amazing when I chopped her at first. Very sweet!
The plant grow with very little internodal spacing and that made the branches nice and full. The stems were strong and held the weight of the buds well. It didn't seem to be too fussy about nutrients or anything.
Overall, I think this grow turned out pretty well. Considering all of the stuff I probably did wrong. I learned alot in the last 4 months with her and feel more confident in my growing abilities. I had no idea when I planted my first seeds that there was so much that goes into this. I spend way too many nights lost in research about the growing process or nutrients. But that is probably a good thing. I'm glad that this strain was super resilient and made it a whole 130 days to harvest. I wish I was better prepared for the drying process, that's probably my biggest mistake. I just hope that i end up with "pretty good" smoke when it's all said and done.
Update
After curing for 3 weeks I still don't have a whole lot of great smells happening. It smells amazing once ground up. This girl tastes just like FRUIT LOOPS! So sweet and yummy! When I smoke it I get an overall sense of well being and a nice, slightly energetic high. It's a good day time smoke for me. I have a jar with a boveda 62% pack stashed away for a few more weeks. Hoping to get a more full flavor. It's cold in the basement, like 58-63F. So maybe it's just lengthening the process a bit. (A girl can hope, right?)
@Ping420, lol yeah I know how that goes....... it always seems like it takes forever when you have some great bud growing that you are just dying to smoke
@@Tryhard, I'm needing a little help. What should my hygrometer read inside of curing jars? I have a 62% boveda 2 way pack in there and it's reading 65% does that mean more "burping" is still required? Or should I just let it be and let the boveda do its job?
@@Tryhard, we are cold mountain/desert climate. Cold and dry. I've done 2 test dries and they both have been a fail. I need to come up with a good plan for my drying space. Is warmer better than cold? It's all so complicated. Lol
@Ping420,when you cut her and hang her has she’s drying she will create moisture keep your intake fan on and a rotating fan on and it will dry it nicely for you are you in a hot climate
@CaliGrown, haha thanks. I'm trying. I actually got a bit white girl wasted on my bday a couple of days ago and cut off one of the lower buds just to sniff on and omg that one little clip had my whole upstairs smelling delicious! Lol
@Ping420,and sorry i forgot to say nearly every one i know whos grew haze its normally a 12 week strain 10 weeks of growing 2 week flush your in week 7 of flpwer
@@Tryhard, hey thanks. I fed her foxfarms grow big, big bloom and tiger bloom. Just started adding in a bit of GH's FloraBlend a couple of weeks ago after ordering of for the hydro setup I've been drinking around with. Lol. I only fed her heavy maybe 3 times. Idk why she has done so well though, honestly. Idk if it's stuff I've done or just really good genetics. I haven't been able to find a whole lot on this strawberry mango haze super auto. So I will just have to compare on the next one. I have one seed left but I want to give her a shot outdoors next year. I bet it will kick some major ass.
@@Tryhard, that orange gets brighter by the day. I now want to grow something of the purple variety and see about getting some super colorful stuff happening.
Great looking plant man. That strain looks delicious. Never heard of the breeder but might have to order a couple of beans. Looks like you're going to get a good weight too. Well done.
@Ping420, certainly a beautiful plant. The breeder/strain could get negative feedback if it's not very stable. Could be that if you grew the seed again it would be a very different plant. Give that one another few weeks and those buds are going to look amazing.
@Ping420,bro you can do anything you put your mind to but i got to say shes huge im definetly impresse also i have to agree with @barns theres still lot of white pistol when do you plan on chopping i would say give her another 14 days you get to a point where you dont notice much change but it is you cant tell you want it to mature i. cut a blue mystic down 2 week early no fault of my own but she got a nasty taste and gives me a head ake wait them extra 2 weeks theres a nute from shogun called dragon force if you can get a bottle i would advice it trick the plant in thinking it coming to the end of its cycle and it gives. it a mad dash to fatten them and mature them
@ForestGreen, thank you. I hadn't done the proper research before ordering these seeds as it was my first time. If I had I probably wouldn't have bought them. Which would have been a shame because I'm rather impressed with this girl. There is a bunch of not great things around forms about the breeder and complications they had and that would have scared me away for sure. I'm kind of expecting to start seeing more favorable things being said in reviews now though. If a super newb like me can grow a pretty plant then it must be pretty darn good genetics right? Lol
This is a KILLER looking grow. I see some experience shining through here. Nice job! I am attempting my first "topless" SCROG (trying to bend instead) with 6 different strains right now. It would be cool if you would follow along and make a suggestion or two on the grow. - Zannabis7
@Ping420, Thanks for the support. Seems you and I are fairly new to growing, but we have both done our fair share of google research. That can go a long way. Thanks again..
@Zannabis7, thanks dude! Not a whole lot of experience here, honestly. Just many nights on Google. Reading and trying to figure out the basics. I'll totally check out your grow. I'm still very much a newb and may not have a whole lot of educated suggestions though. lol.
@Ping420,really quick check every day my stardawg looked like it had another 2 weeks but shes eating her leaves shes at about 15. percent 2 water feeds she getting cut she was full of white pistols but i checked before there turning orange fast so keep checking can happen over night
@@Tryhard, I have a jewlers loop and a mini microscope. I took a peek yesterday and still see a little bit of clear. Idk how fast they can cloud up. But I hope it's quick. lol
