Day 1 - 1/10/2020
Few days ago germinated 4 random autoseeds that got mixed up during an accident. Placed in a cup of water for 24 hours than places in a damp paper towl inside a Tupperware container in a warm dark place. 3 days later 2 seeds had grown a inch plus tap root while the other 2 never popped. Placed in starter pods and in a humidity dome and the next day these ladies popped up. Once they popped through I removed the humidity dome.
Day 2
Looking good. Transferred to permanent pot. 1 looking very good. 2 had a rough start that had me fearful it wouldn't survive, but looking much better today.
Day 3
We lost the small lady. I knew it was chance as she never looked good. Now down to one but shes looking happy for now.
Day 4 (1/13/20)
Looking good today. Added a heater to help regulate dark period temperature as I realized was getting sub 70.
Day 5
Ladys doing well. Some noticable growth over the last 24 hours after what appeared to the eye to be a few stagnant days. Heater seems to be doing wonders.
Day 6
Another great day for the lady. Noticable growth yet again. Havent watered since initial planting but plan to do a small watering later in the day. Been spraying down constantly with spray bottle to keep moisture up.
Day 7
Ending the week with another strong day. More noticable growth. Gave her light watering yesterday and will do again today before a couple of dry days.
Day 8 (1/17/20)
Starting off the week strong. Anither solid day of noticable growth. Light watering with ph balanced water and a hint of nutes just to make sure there is something in there after its reused soil from a previous grow.
Day 9
Looking good today. Will be watering later in the day a small feeding. Raised temperature a tad thus week as shes a little older and less temperamental hopefully.
Day 10
Seems to be enjoying yeaterdays small feeding. She seems to be having a solid 24 hours. Color looks better today.
Day 11
Great day for this gem. New set of leaves begining to come in strong. Another solid 24 hours
Day 12
Solid day. No crazy growth but looking good home the less. Dry day today.
Day 13/14
Growth seems to be progressing nicely. Unfortunately small orange spots showing on lower leaves. Doubled cal mag feeding hoping it's a simple calcium deficiency.
Day 15
Looking good today. Does not appear orange spots have spread. Added recharge, voodoo juice, piranha, and tarantula do get some good microbes and fungus in the soil. Came in just in time.
Day 16
Was a nice 24 hours if growth. Posted pics of orange spots. Seems to have severely slowed down. Will double calmag again next watering and hopefully totally resolve the issue.
Day 17
Hit her with some LST this morning. She may have a few new orange spots. I'm documenting them more closely to determine growth.
UPDATE - LST seems to be taking nicely already just 12 hours after doing it. Readjusted. Seems this lady will love LST
Day 18
Added a second budget LED lamp to the tent and the ladies seem to be enjoying the addition and diversified light. No movement on orange spots. Growth slow and steady.
Day 19
Another day some more new growth. Spotting has seemed to have severely slowed down for the most part. Still monitoring tocensure doesnt return. Think the tent in whole is benefiting from the additional and diversified led lighting
Day 20
Good 24 hours for the lady. Readjusted LST. Dry day today. No noticable spot spreading. All in all good day
Day 21
Ending week strong. Spots seemed to have stopped. She loves the lst
Orange spots developing on leaves. Starting at bottom and moving up. Thought was calmag deficiency. Added twice over last week and still spreading. Do I need to just wait longer? Add more? Or another issue?
Yah man you got it. Copper spotting is Cal and probably has a Mag deficiency right behind it (hand in hand I've come to learn). What you've done is what I would have done and I would continue to feed her the Cal/Mag. The symptoms may not get better on the leaves already affected but wait a little longer and all new growth should be healthy from here on. Only other thing I see that might be an issue is heat stress. They look a little droopy (not just from the foliar spray) and if you're able to drop the temp by 2 degrees or so, this may perk her up (even though this isn't a reason behind the copper spotting). Just 2 cents👍
Good luck in the coming days and I hope everything goes well. Drop me a line in PM if you need. Peace and happy trails👍😊
Day 22 (1-31-20)
Starting off the week looking strong. Watered last night. Readjusted the LST
Day 23
Really doubled down on the LST. Shes been such a thick bush I was starting to see some twisted growth from lack of space for the undergrowth. Hoping this will help spread her out some.
Day 24-26
Looking great. No new spotting. Explosive growth. She loves LST. Been adjusting and adding every day. Watered on day 25 with small amount of recharge and piranha
Day 27
Another great day. She will be hopefully be moving to the flowering tent this weekend ince the upgrades are done.
Day 28
Another strong week for this lady ending well. Probably doubled in size just this week. She loves LSt. Wish I knew who to credit for these great genetics.
Day 29 (2/7/20)
Solid start to the week. Moved to a new home the flowering tent even though she isn't in flower yet she was starting to get to big and needed more room. Seems to be enjoying it 12 hours in. Dimmed lights to hopefully cause her to stretch out a bit as she is quite short and getting overly bushy at this point.
Day 30
Anither good looking day for this lady. Put a heater outside the tent to bring temps up slightly. She seems to be loving life.
Day 31
Closing out her first official month of life a string note. A big thick bush seems to be loving life.
Day 32
Removed all LST in hope that she will stretch a bit more. Than re apply LSt with some more room to work. Looking good 12 hours since.
Day 33
She spaced out pretty quickly. Within 12 hours or removing LST I was able to reapply with much more space to work. Looking great 12 hours since than.
Day 34
Pretty heavy defoliation. Started to see bite Mark's and believe micro climates in the bushy undergrowth caused it. Removed most massive fan leaves. Pics 12 hours post
Day 35
Ending week on another strong note. Pest issues slow but still there.
Day 36 (2/14)
Starting off the week looking great yet again. Half strength watering with only microbes, bacteria, fungi, and enzymes. Very light bloom feeding.
Day 37
Another nice day for the lady. Dry day today.
Day 38/39
Really on top of LST and defoliation last 2 days. Removed giant fan leaves blocking bud sites and small inner growth to increase airflow and give more space. Watering this evening.
Day 40
Looking good after watering.
Day 41
Fan leaves growing back out after defoliation. Looking good.
Day 42
Ending another week on a strong note.

Day 50 (2/28)
Looking good to start another week even if the flowering process is beyond slow with this lady. Are her younger sisters are much further into flower. But she is still the biggest healthiest bush in the tent so no worries.
Day 51/52
Same as shes been. Healthy lady. Slow to flower.
Day 53/54
Dont want to jinx it but it looks like flower may be actually getting going. Great 48 hours. Liggt watering early this morning.
Day 55
Another solid day. More signs of slow flowering but flowering none the less
Day 56
More pistles shooting out but not as many as I'd like to see. Still slow to flower ending the week.
Should I be concerned about the lack of bud development this late in? Shes been healthy from start but flowering is taking forever. I saw the first signs 2-3 weeks back but still no bud growth. Heavily defoliated a few times because of overly vegitative growth. Ideas?
Hello DenzelFreegreen,
There are two issues why your buds stay small;
1. you feed way too less than you should.
In this period of time you should over feed proportionally to fix the problem.
Look at this formal chart by GHE it shows amounts of those who did not fed properly. THIS IS NOT THE REGULAR CHART - USE IT ONLY WHEN LEFT BEHIND
https://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-REC_03216am.pdf
1a. Advanced nutritions should be 2ml per litter. You should stop feeding Tarantula, Pirahna and Voodoo Juice from week 3 of flowering till harvest.
You shouldn’t have begun with Sensizym by this week.
2. Please specify the exact lighting in use. I do not know many if any 120W lights producing enough microlux therefore your plant doesn’t get the required DLI (daily light integral). Most likely your lights are way to far from plants. Can you measure it with PAR? if not specify as much about your light and I will calculate the exact distance you should have it.
Regards.
Hans Gruße
P.s
My answers relay on that information mentioned on your diary so I do hope its accurate.
