Pulling out the little one and transplanting the other three to their own 5 gallon bucket in a rdwc set up (Day 13). Knocked a leaf off one... ooops.

The girls got their own buckets. Started lst on day 16. Topped at 6th node day 17. Everything is going smoothly, no signs of flower. Pretty optimistic about these, first time growing Garden of Green seed.

Nothing exciting for day 22. Added sensizym and cal-mag xtra after changing out the water (RO). No preflowers, but starting to smell more than just green. Day 23. Removed some of the fan leaves. Day 27, thinned out the larger one, still no preflowers

Preflowers showing on all three plants this morning, day 29. I'll swap the water over on day 31 and put them in a 2x4ft tent. All is good with the swap. I decided to take em out of the rdwc and put them all in just dwc. Ran out of time in the morning (day 32) and had to lst one of em after work. Pretty happy so far. I may have jumped the gun in calling this a flower week, but they all are showing sex. Day 34. Lots of leaves and tiny branches removed. Started applying colloidal silver to two lower shoots to make some pollen.

Using advanced nutrients 3/4 strength Switched to general hydroponics full strength on day 40. So this strain is also known as Cookie Monster Auto, and although the flowering times is listed as 55-63 days, the only full grow i can find the guy says it took 90 days and he got a huge yield from one plant. These three girls are prolly going to outgrow this tent, but that's not a bad thing :)

Safe to say we're heading into flower. I'm pretty close to full strength on the nutrients at this point. Still defoliating and filling in the screen. Plant on the right is slightly behind as far as kicking into flower. Some yellowing browning just starting a tips. I'll change out the water tomorrow (on day 49). Averaging water changes every 12 days. Day 49: Did not change water today, will on day 52 or 53 instead. Decided it could just be the light being too close. Moved it up and did a little lst above the screen. All done removing branches and leaves. Great end to the first week of flower.

Heading into the third week of flower. Everything has gone well so far. I have an average of 15" growth above the screen. Raised the tent 15" to the tops of the rdwc buckets.

Day 63 I cut out the bottom of my tent to raise it to the top of the rdwc buckets giving me another 15" of space. It was getting tight and i don't want to keep dimming my light. Had to remove my screen, I'll build in another one if the buds get too heavy. Starting week four in flower for the two on the left (few days seperation) starting week 2ish for the girl on far right.

Never really noticed this before, but it's also been a long time since I've grown inside. The tips of each jagged leaf edge is pointing up. Just curious about it.

If you have no humidity issue , no heat issue , no problems on your roots & no light distance issue then what you describing is not a symptoms. It is neither an indication of a future excess or deficiency. I feel like the problem is one of those listed . If not I also feel that only the time will be abble to five you an answer as you have not enough symptoms to make a diagnosis.

Close to the end of week 5 of for the two on the left. Starting to fatten up and fill the top 10 inches of most stalks. Pretty happy so far. The girl on the far right is just starting to form resin glands, hopefully she packs em in because she's on track to have some nice nugs. Looks like she's a little darker green this week. I should just cut her out of the rdwc and fix her. Day 77 moved the three girls to a bigger tent with a couple other autos. Decided to keep them all in rdwc vs dwc because i'm lazy. I did clean everything pretty good though

The girls are coming along nicely. Really starting to smell good, and look good. So far I've only noticed a calcium def and then the leaf envelopes pointing up. Hopefully just a few more weeks. Ending the week with a few leaves beginning to fade out on the girl that's the furthest along. Couple more weeks I'm guessing. At least four on the girl that's lagging. Not a lot of resin on her yet, looks like she'll have the biggest buds so i hope that changes.

Hopefully taking down two of the girls this week. Day 94. Moving the middle plant to dark a d flushing. It's too tight and i'm paranoid about mold. Sh's the smallest of the three. I'll defoliate the other two later. Day 97. Middle plant got the chop. Started flush on one of the bigger ones. Maybe a couple weeks for the last girl. She's still on General Hydroponics Flora series at almost full strength. She's not as frosty, but she'll have the fattest buds. Maybe I can give it to the guy that cuts my grass this year.

Flushing one, running ghe flora line on the other for another week or two Day 100 Noticed a leaf turning poopy green on the slowest girl... which usually means mold in the bud. Cut it off. Adding another fan. Day 100. Flushed girl is almost all taken down, filled the herbs now and a screen with at least another tray and a half for the herbs now.

Well, this is my first grow here. I'm glad to have a place like this to document all this stuff. I'm sure I'll become more detailed the longer I'm I'll be updating the info here as I can. Sorry, no wet weights. The smallest plant was taken down and turned to hash (butane). I didn't weight the plant at all, but I did get 26g of really nice hash with some left overs. Night 100. Next plant taken down. Filled the Herbs Now and a screen, plus a little left, which i'll finish taking off and turn to hash. Will update last plant when she's ready. I thought i saw signs of mold on one of the buds so i cut it off and tossed it. I had a humidity spike when i had to seal everything up for a birthday party we threw. It's got the fattest buds, but it's my least favorite of the three. I'll most likely donate a lot of it. Day 102. Mold in two buds of slowest plant. Chopped her down.
