Day 9 - These plants are growing immaculately. Dark green, thick, healthy leaves, no stretching, they're growing like an absolute dream.
Since removing them from the run-off catching orange cups, they have happily air pruned themselves and are continuing to beast out. ๐ช
I've only watered them once on day 5 so far. I've been warned by other growers that M3 is very easy to accidentally over water, so I am keeping that on my mind with every check.
Day 10 - Noticed some pale spots on one of my seedlings. It's only on the second true leaves of one plant. Gave them a watering with 6.5 pH water
Day 11 - Spots on one of my plants still there, taking up a little more space on the leaves. Still only present on the second true leaves of this plant. The plant appears otherwise happy and healthy. All three others are green and mean. ๐ช
Day 12 - Transplanted these little lovies into 1 gallon pots. Gave a light watering to just the outer ring of the pot with 6.5 pH water. My Step-Veg program for my California Lightworks Solar System 550 has been gradually increased to R80 W80 B99.
First time transplanting anything outside of a seedling before, I was embarrassingly nervous. Made sure to get a ton of pictures of each one because I'm Mom af. ๐
Anyway - excited to see how many ladies I can score this round! Please give me at least one! ๐๐๐
Day 14 - Closing out a beautiful week. I'm still unsure of what is causing the spots on one of my plants. I've gotten many suggestions of pests, but I've spent at LEAST a cumulative 4 hours over the past 2 days with her under the microscope, combing the leaves like an overprotective mother, and I have seen zero suspicious microscopic gang activity.
As a precaution, I mixed some neem oil and dish soap and sprayed all the plants at lights out.
Storytime was a big hit with the kids. ๐คฃ๐
@CRiSPrGrow, Thank you!!! I was really happy with the artist who took my awkward as hell concept sketch and made it look like this! I got slaps, I would totally send one your way ๐.
@CRiSPrGrow, I think it is some luck. I grow by the seat of my pants. All I do is ph balance ferts. and water. No soil or runoff tests. I only use base ferts. and cal-Mag. I see diaries using 8-10 different chemicals. For me itโs keep it simple stupid. I could never figure out problems if I had all those variables. Thank for the compliment.
Nice. I donโt have anyone developing new strains specially for me. If they did It would be call Lucky shit dumb grower OG. Lol good luck. Iโve seen your grow. I think luck has very little to do with your grows.
I like your defoliation technique I am going to be more aggressive on my next grow to avoid all that lower larf. as always your highness your diaries are informative and well documented.
Cheers
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, I use my sous vide to infuse mine! I follow the instructions over on sousweed.com. I've done butter before but prefer coconut oil! โ๏ธ
@DrewbieDoobieNoobie, Thanks, growmie! Yeah I used to not care about keeping the extra popcorn bud because I make oil. But at this point, I have more than enough popcorn stash for oil.... So while I have so far always grown from the standpoint of "waste not" when growing my plants, it's time to try something different. This time I'm only targeting the quality bud for smoking enjoyment ๐๐จ
off to the races๐
I am using the california lightworks 500 solar extreme,
not adjustable like yours,but I love the full spectrum it
gives right out of the box๐๐ plants seem to love it๐ช
Grow Big๐
@northernMike, Nice! I grew with mine for two full very satisfying runs before I emptied my wallet some more for the spectrum control. Jury's still out as to whether or not I really notice an improvement, but this will be my first time using it in an environment that isn't giving me issues so this will be its time to shine! (dorky pun absolutely intended)
Nice job, plants look really happy๐
I picked up another CLW xtreme 500, plants love the extra light, zero dark corners.๐
Now I'm battling the heat, trying to keep the temp at 22c in the day, nighttime 17-18c.
Luck and Grow Big!!
Looking healthy, I think your spot on with your sexing 2F and 2M the males will usually get taller faster as well so they can dump there pollen on the shorter females. you still have time before the males swell with pollen but the small spade is a good indicator that they are dudes. Sexing can take up to 6 weeks between 4-6 they should start showing signs then you can send the males to the Sarlacc pit. good video.
Lady looking great! Happy and healthy lady (hopefully). Always wanted to cross my own strain. Looks like you did quite well. Nice work. Keep doing what your doing and best of luck moving forward growmie.
P.s you got these fire genetics for sale somewhere? What about that sticker? I need that one on my stoner sticker collage
