Winter 2017/18 grow

Popping seeds in rapid rooters. Day 1

Not much to report

Ladies are looking good. No nutrients yet. Only a little great white. It’s so slow at the beginning boring. Humidifier broke I’ve got a new one expected in the mail tomorrow.

Going well except for the cbd critical cure. Few brown spots. It should rebound with nutes added at 1/8 strength.

Going great. Just topped, transplanting by Saturday into final 5 gallon smart pots. 1/4 nutes. Probably fire up the MH after transplant.

Going slooooowww as always. Everything is healthy.

Everything is going great. I transplanted to final pots. 5 gallons. Turned on the 400w mh and getting excited. No complaints, no problems.

Chugging along, everything is going great. A little bit of veragation on the cbd critical cure. I’ll add the scrog net (the plants have to be higher than my tower fan)

December 30th. (Why doesn’t grow diaries keep track of dates?) Put in my DIY scrog netting last Wednesday. Everything is healthy and happy. Can’t wait to see budlets in a few weeks. I’ll start feeding 2-3 times a day this coming week.

Just did a defoliation, some really huge leaves on the purple kush plants. Just sort of waiting for the net to fill out before switch. I’m thinking 2-3 weeks. I’ve got a new reverse osmosis system coming in the mail and a 55 gallon tank so it’ll make watering 2-3 times a Day much easier than going to the water store with 5 gallons jugs. Also it’ll help the plants grow that much faster with more feedings. Cannot wait.

January 8th 2018 Growing out well, everything is stable and good. Planning on flipping to flower on Sunday. Can’t wait to see buds.

Screen filled, perhaps a bit too filled. Stretch is gonna mostly be up. But 85% of the screen is filled with tops.

I’m going to call today Jan 18th 2018 officially the first day of flower. I’ve got two solid budlets.

Chugging along. Seeing stretch but it’s not an issue. Budlets everywhere. Gonna do another small defoliation here in the next couple of days.

Everything going great. Five plants all female. But they should be with feminized seeds. No issues or problems. Just the slow wait.

Everything is going great. The dative plant in the center of the scrog is stretching a lot. Buds coming in hard and heavy. Especially the purple kush which looks amazing.

Pft. Watch the video.

Everything is looking great. Except one pheno of the purple kush. Flowers aren’t stacking, still quite small especially in comparison and it’s not at all purple. Hopefully it’ll catch up during p/k week. which starts in a few days. Most of my leaves are praying everything is healthy and happy.

Just making a quick update today to document adding pk 13/14 at 5.8ml/g This is the only nutrient I feed at full strength. Everything else is approx half recommended.

Going great. Really seeing the p/k boost kicking in. Flowers stacking and growing in girth. This is far more important than length, ask my wife. It’s true. Really. Anyway it’s good.

Going great. Smell has become an issue this week with all the rain storms were receiving. The high humidity has my carbon filter pretty much useless. I’m in California so I’m not worried about legality. That said I live in a townhome so I’m not exactly trying to upset or advertise to my neighbors. Not too much I can do though. Getting excited and also not looking forward to trim. Looks to be about 2-3 weeks out...maybe 4-5 on the Sativa plant...or more.

The smell is amazing. And amazingly strong. It’s been really humid here and my carbon filter isn’t working well. Few more weeks for the kush. Maybe 3-4 for the cbd Sativa. Getting excited. But as always not looking forward to trim.

So my plan was to harvest the purple kush this weekend. But it’s not quite ready. Now I have to let it go two weeks because I’m busy next weekend. Such is life. So I’ll start flush on Wednesday. So not next weekend the weekend after that. Plus one of the phenotypes of the purple Cush is a must save. So here’s my plan. I’m taking some cuttings from the lower side, placing them in the cloner on 24h light. Hope and pray they root. I’m sure at least one will. Then keep it growing in my garden outside for the summer. Then in the fall I’ll take clones from that and use them for next years indoor grow. I tend not to grow indoors during the summer because my AC already breaks the bank. So a bit of monster cropping/mother plant. Experiment. Cross your fingers.

So, I’m excited. New lights today. Horticultural grow lights quantum boards built for me by growerslights.com I don’t have to time or knowledge to build one but I wanted one. Growerslights builds and tests for you for $50. Money well spent. This light is the shit. Full stop. So bright, so efficient. I’m getting a lot more light for 80w less per hour and that’s on full power. I’m going to start at 1/3 and slide up a little over the next few days. It’s the hlg-650h ok commercial done. I cannot wait to do a full grow under this monster. As far as the current plants. They’ll do their last week and a half under it. I’ll move the mars hydros to a small cloner I got. Flushing now until harvest on the weekend of the 30th-31st
