Crown Royale

Dr_Frankenstank Started 3 of these Crown Royale fem seeds that I got from crop king. All 3 germinated and took well to planting. They were all above ground within 2 days of being planted into solo cups and off to the races. This is my first grow. I came across my equipment more by chance and decided to use it. I wasnt planning on keeping journals or notes but the more I read the more I realized what I was getting myself into. Being meticulous and consistent are keys to success. I have friends that grow and got some basic advice before i started but I didn't take things seriously until the girls were above ground. I have kids and wouldn't dare to compare their existence, but it was a similar experience. All of a sudden I had a bunch of girls to take care of I had no idea WTF I was doing. Since that day I've spent more time reading about and drooling over rooms like the ones I see on this site than I'm willing to admit. I figured since I was getting half of my information from grow diaries I might as well start a journal as well. Feel free to comment, correct or give advice wherever you can, please. Week 1 in the solo was spent under a fluorescent light. Week 2 they were transplanted into 4l containers and went under a 1000 watt mh bulb. After they had 5 nodes I topped the first 2 at the 3rd node. The third one I FIM'd on purpose. Having never grown before my curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to see the difference. It now has 4 stalks that all shoot out relatively close on the main trunk. It ended up slowing the vertical growth quite abit compared to her 2 sisters. Shes about 5cm shorter but she still looks pretty and is probably my most symmetrical plant. By the end of week 3 they were all nearly ready to transplant. Lots of roots showing on the bottom of all 3 girls. I was just waiting for them to dry up a little more before they moved on up.

Dr_Frankenstank Transplanted all 3 girls by the end of week 4. The all took their last feeding at their own pace. The one I FIM'd seemed to take her time the most. Surprisingly she had the biggest root system of them all though. With her being the shortest plant by far I decided not to top her again yet. The other 2 were topped right at the end of the week on their main 2 stems. I raised the nutes up to 3/4 strength. Next week I'll start with the lst. Wish me luck!

Dr_Frankenstank These girls are growing like champs. Took very well to their new homes and the training. I moved the nutes up to full strength. Cold weather and low RH are constant worries. Were supposed to have a -15 drop over the next couple days. I've added a heater and am spraying 3 times a day or more. Still cant keep the humidity above 30. Sealing this room will be a project I look forward to.

Dr_Frankenstank All three girls are taking shape. #2 has been behind the others by about a week the entire grow. Cold temps and extreme low RH were issues this week. I had to run a heater fill time and introduce humidity by boiling water. Which worked quite well actually. A few hours a day periodically enabled me to keep the lack of humidity in check. There was some minor signs of nute burn so feed was cut back to 3/4. The girls have stretched out close to where I want them. They'll be in the flower room by the end of the week.
