After the last grow, I cleaned out the closet to get rid off the problems from last grow. Today I transplanted 4 seeds, which germinated between coffee filters, into 11 liter pots and put them under the grow light. I germinated 4 seeds out of a seedstockers feminized mixpack. It will be my first photoperiod grow! I plan to do some lst, lollypopping and maybe topping ... Hope I learn a lot out of this!

Everything 's going fine. Not much to do in the closet, just watering and feeding the ladies, and watch them grow ☺️

They do just fine without interfering, so I don't. Just gave water and nutrients and checked twice a day. They doing good, the smaller one (#4) is going forward and is recovered from it's bad start. #1 fell a litlle, but cause she's so young, I did nothing and let her recover by herself. She good now. Hope you all had a good week. So long!

It was really a fun week. Plants seem to like my environment and looking very healthy. So I'm a happy man. Cause the plants look healthy and I did not run into any problem so far, I decided to top Photo #2, because she was a little bigger. So I topped the first plant in my life ... I was very excited 😀 Everything went well and the plant seems to recover very good. I will keep nursing them the same way. Up to the next! Happy growing.

Got a few taco leaves. So I took the light further away. Therefore I decided on the 39 th. day to put the ladies on 12/12. They gonna strech and I have to see that I got enough space till the end. A lot of new growth on day 42. Especiallly Photo #4 (the one with fluffy coco soil) is allmost visibaly growing 😀 Gonna start to add a little flowering nutrients next time feeding, and gonna build that up the next weeks. Happy growing, till next week!

Week started good, the ladies are streching. On day 47 I noticed that Photo #4 got ahead of the rest, it got 10 cm above the rest. So I lst'd her and now they can grow more equal. I defoliated a little bit to let the light penetrate better. I removed some branches that woudn't get the chance to grow tall. Everything fine further on, so up to the first bloomhairs ☺️ See you!

Day 50 I noticed the first pistils. On day 51, I got them out of the closet and took some leaves and branches away. Reorganized them in the closet afterwards and switched the led-panel from veg-mode into bloom-mode, so the ladies get more red light for flowering. Level grow nutrients will decrease and the level flowering nutrients will increase in the following weeks. Planning to lollypop again in week 10 or so. Best wishes, and hope to see you all again in 2020. Greenz!

Got a nice week. Had some spare time this week, so had time to take'em out of the closet. Result, lot of photo's ... My favourite plants are Photo #2 and Photo #3. They took a good start of flowering and seem healthy. They seem to have no problem with their diet. Photo #1 had a slower start. But now at the end of the week, she is back with the rest and seems to be loving her threatment. Photo #4 is fiving me some problems. She's not getting on with flowering. Seems her hole live allready paler green then the rest. And shows signs for some deficience at her leaves since I rearanged the plants in their closet ... first thought were some grow-nute related issues, so i gave her a grow nutrient threatment 😀 I also turned her growing pot around, so she's (again) in an other position. If it all doesn't help and she shows no signs of recovery after the weekend, she goes out! Hope you all had a nice end and a goed new beginning. Greenz.

Had not so much time this week ... Photo #4 was not flowering, and gave signs of overfeeding. I took her out off the closet and see what I can do. The other three are doing their job and go on flowering, buds forming day by day. I will be care full with nutrients to avoid problems, I'm glad their soil is better for nutrient buffering. I also raised the lights a bit to avoid tops getting paler. See you soon!

Gave my plants a cure this week. While Photo #4 was suffering to recover from overfeeding (still is), I try to go slow with the other three in the closet. So I tried to let the soil dry out well every time. Gave them plain tap water a few times and gonna give them some water with just alg-a-mic to let them further recover. Later on I will add the other nutrients as well. Till next week everyone!

I gave my plants tap water this week. In the middle I gave them once a shot of alg-a-mic. Next week I'm gonna do the same with the nutrients. For now everything still good with three out of Four 🙂 Photo #4 still sits out of the closet, rook out most of the bad leaves and let her do ... Ciao!

Again I had it wrong ... Last week I thought I was overfeeding and overwatering them. Turns out I was drying them out. I saw little signs of deficiencies too, so the menu went also back to normal. They recovered quick so hopefully we're back on track. Photo #2 will be ready a lot sooner than the others. Photo #4 is suffering from deficiencies by bad PH and is dying.

This week I'm feeding Photo #1 & Photo #3 quiet well. They are doing good and we go on like we did with them. Photo #2 is much ahead and going towards harvest time. I hadn't had time for the data along with the pictures, I'll fill that out later.

Gave Photo #2 for the last time a nutrient shot and started flushing after that. Think I'm gonna harvest her in two times. The smell is gorgeous and the buds are looking great. Photo #1 also getting in the last weeks. Photo #3 gonna take a little longer. See you.

On day 108 I cutted out the four tops of Photo #2 for harvest. So the other buds of the plant can develop wel. Photo #2 is getting plain tap water. The other two are getting the amounts of nutrients as described above. On the last day of the week I putted Photo #4 back in the closet, because she developed some flowers. She looks very stunning, but survived. We see how this goes. I gave her a feeding along with Photo #1 & Photo #3.

Normal week, everything going fine. Photo #2 is allmost ready for harvest. At the end of the week I'll chop her down I think. Photo #1 will be the next to harvest then, she's doing great and has a huge cola. Photo #3 will follow a bit later. Photo #4 is doing just fine back in the closet. She is flowering nice and will give me some bud after all 😁

Updated the data and pictures of the first week. Photo #4 is a bit behind, she struggled a little to got rid of her hood ... The soils she's in also contains more cocos then th other three, but I keep that in mind. The other three ladies look healthy and fine ☺️ Up to the next week!
