9/15 She popped her head out of the riot 2 days ago. Will be inside the nursery for a couple weeks before going out into the So Cal sun. I am running several strains this batch with a fall outdoor auto flower experiment.
9/21 placed in a 7 gal pot with about 5 gal worth of canna coco (all that I had left on hand). Placed in the sun and will receive about 8 hours of direct sun.
9/22 fed first meal
Day 9 she is growing out weird and twisted. I've experienced this before and seems to correct itself after a week or two. Weather has been great and sunny. Going to fabricate a polycarbonate roof to place over top of the plants. They are getting direct sunlight currently from 1030am to 615pm with overall sun up hours from 620am to 645pm
Day 12 fed homebrewed tea. (4 gal RO water, 2 cups EWC, 3 scoops great white, 3 tbsp of back strap molasses brewed 48 hours at 72°F) also fed my hydroponic lettuce, herbs, and soil tomatoes.
Day 14 Treated the plants with wet table micronized sulfur (high-yield brand) at sun up. Where the sulfur spray droplets dried, it concentrated the sulfur. Humidity swings galore with 40 day to 80% at night that even with sulfur preventative treatments, I'm probably going to be screwed. Treating once a week so new growth stays protected. Setting up a new room in my attic space. Temps stay 65 to 80 with RH 40 to 55%. Have a few beans dropped for the room. 2 HLG 288 v2 Rspec panels and a meanwell h320 1750a driver in route. Building modular dutch bucket system for the new tent. Going in a 2x4x7
Day 22 treated with weekly sulfur spray for WPM prevention (spots on leaves is where the sulfur pooled and dried). Stems started to fatten up a little this week. Watering to runoff about every three days right now.
Day 24 preflowers appeared, stretch starting.
Day 26 Santa Ana winds coming thru, humidity plummeted to 7% this morning. Watered plants at sunrise to try and raise their local humidity
Day 27 fed hydro tea
Day 28 humidity returned to normal ranges
Day 29 Gave weekly sulfur treatment, which I will change application methods once flowering begins. She really started stretching last few days and thus LST has begun. Want to ensure plant stays below balcony wall height.
They really seem to be enjoying the warm sun, no signs of any deficiency at the moment. Minor pest damage, found a small caterpillar and may pick up some BT, but I need to further research to make sure applying on dried sulfur will not burn the plant.
Day 30 fee hydro tea
Day 32 happy and healthy minus a little Caterpillar damage.
Day 33 Flowering has started
Day 36 stretch is full steam ahead, vigorous branching, looks to be a winner. Having another dry weather spell and potential 90s next few days. Keeping an eye on weight of the pots for watering.
Day 37 @ 1PM its currently 92°F with 20% RH
Day 38 watered. Its 86F and 27% RH today. Switched to tap water with base of 330ppm. Switched to TNB naturals dry pH down. Measurements list for TNB are grams/gal not ml/gal.
Day 39 another hot dry day again. 92F 10%RH
Day 40 another 91F 16%RH day. Added and adjusted LST points. She is going to take up a lot of real estate.
Day 41 88F 19%
Day 42 71F 47%RH much cooler today but it will be short lived and back to 80s tomorrow.
Day 43 should have milder weather this week with a 75 to 80F high temp range with RH 10 to 30%. Growth coming along nicely flower production slowly coming online.
Day 45 74F 7%rh. The dry weather spell continues. Added Armor Si for silica.
Day 47 night temps dropping to 51°F humidity still sub 35%
Day 49 weather has been milder. Mid 70s day low 50s nights. Rh avg 20% day 45% night. Lots of budding sites and sturdy branches on her, looking like some nice genetics even with a short day grow cycle. Would love to see some more from Cream of the Crop. Responding great to current feed schedule with no signs of def or excess.
Day 50 growing out nicely, no nute def or excess signs. Drinking a little over 3 gals every couple days.
Day 55 pots were extra lite today. Fed to extra runoff
Day 57 Sun up is about 10.5 hours right now with about 6.75 hours of direct sunlight exposure. Flowering slowly but probably due to the short window of direct sun exposure.
Day 59 rain possibility looms over head but have idea for temp cover during rain.
Day 64 popup tunnel arriving for rain cover. Rain is on the forecast for next couple days.
Day 66 placed cover over plants, rain is inevitable.
Day 67 raining 57°F
Day 68 rain stopped, 65° outside. Removed cover, but rain is in the forecast for next week.
Day 71 rain predicted 100% for 2 days this week. Cover going over plants tomorrow. Will be cold in the low 60s high and mid 40s lows. It's been dry last few days with sub 30% rh.
Day 77 cool rainy week. Plants are staying in the hoop house for the next few days and then should be in the clear. Trich production increasing and her scent is a medium piney citrus.
Day 78 sun up just about 10 hours daily. Winter temps are creeping in. Plants in a small hoop house make for difficult photos.
Day 80 no pics today, 59F and pouring rain
Day 81 fuck me, I knew this grow was probably going to lose something to the elements but I had hope it would finish but I lost a big cola to bud rot. Walked out noticed a leaf that died within 24 hours and pulled the cola back and the grey fuzz was there. Cut that cola and area around it out, bagged it up and tossed it out. Didnt photo the rot as I was on a mission to get it out of the area. Harvest may come a little earlier than I want.
Day 82 had to put her down, rot in lots of the buds
