My first grow. It's been a long time coming. This grow is 4 plants, 4 strains in a 90x90x200 with a 440w LED. Bruce Banner #3 Gorilla Zskittles Amnesia Haze Blue Gelato 41 The Banner and Skittles broke the soil successfully this week but unfortunately the Amnesia and Gelato didn't cut the mustard. Successfully germinated on second attempt however this means they are a little behind the the other 2 for now. I have the light dimmed to around 20% as the ladies were showing signs of having too much light, a slight yellowing to the ends of the leaves on the Skittles? This was with the light at around 50%. Will ramp this up slowly over the next couple of week once the other 2 break soil. UPDATE The Blue Gelato and the Amnesia Haze broke the soil a couple of days ago so they shouldn't be massively behind the other 2. Looking forward to seeing these ladies grow!

So the second week begins for this lady. She is growing well and has been moved to her penultimate pot and has exploded since being transplanted! She was fed a half dose of Big Bloom to see how she would respond and seemed to have no issues with it. Im hoping she starts to catch up with the others soon!

It's been a rough 10 days in the garden if I'm honest. Problems with all the ladies but nothing that can't be fixed. We were plagued with really cold weather and high winds and it's shocked them pretty bad. Got the heater in the tent to hopefully resolve that issue. She also doesn't seem to take water as well as the others and is generally sensitive to everything. She looks over watered? I've abandoned any additional nutes for now as all the ladies came out with some minor burn and what I think was nitrogen toxicity. The Bio Bizz all mix must be supper potent because I gave 1 feed at half dose and the plants definitely have suffered since. Things look to be on the up now.... Hopefully. Would appreciate some input into the possible over watering issue? Her growth definitely seems stunted. Growing in a 46l fabric smart pot, with bio bizz all mix. Finding it difficult to diagnose the issue. The lower leaves seems clawed? UPDATE She seems on the mend now. Looking a lot better!

I call this the Indica Droops... They look fine maybe a bit too much water but dont act on that. Seems the issue started with the transplant and from what I see it was not a simple "plop-the-cloth-pot-into-a-bigger-cloth-pot-no-stress-transplant"? (yeah that's the ticket) Transplant shock might account for some droppys for a few days but unless there is a problem in the new pot then not the cause. Get your nuets back on, just dilute them down to like 1/4 strength and increase as you feel right, as far as I know Bio-Grow contains no salts so it should not be any problem never had any real issues except deficiencies with the Bio-Bizz line, no toxicity. That said I am guessing 😏 You are the man, good luck

Boy has this girl bounced back. I've topped her twice as I don't think I'll have time to train her before having to switch everyone over to flower. We will see. Really large fan leaves and a really short bushy structure.

This girl has been topped twice. She has responded really well. The plants look like they could take a feed so I'm going to start introducing nutrients again and a quarter the recommended dose and raise this gradually before flipping them all to flower in a weeks time.

This girl is phat. Real thick stalk and massive leaves. I topped her twice, which I had reservations in doing given her weak start. She bounced back incredibly so she also got some LST to open up the canopy. It's flower time for this lady and I'm excited to see her stretch and fatten up!

This girl has been topped twice and is loving life. Really strong growth. She wants to stretch. She isn't far behind the amnesia. Tapering up the ferts gently as I've read she can be a bit sensitive. Hard to believe she was incredibly stressed as a young 'un.

She is trying hard to keep up with the amnesia but I think she is also destined to be short and fat. The tops look primed to develop into lovely fat buds, a lot broader than the others. She is starting to get a nice minty scent to her.

Not much to say about this lady. She has a lovely structure and has a great canopy for only being topped twice. Her buds look fatter and wider than the others. Can't wait to see her develop.

Such an amazing smell of this lady and its only going to get better. Nice stacking going on and the colas appear fatter than the other strains in the tent. Nice and frosty too. She got little to no training, instead she was topped twice. The smell though! Droool!

This lovely lady is suffering from a little bit of what appears to be a calcium deficiency which is being remedied now with some calmag. Other than that she is doing great. The buds are fattening up real good. She is starting to develop some minty notes and is frosting up nicely.

This girls tops are super fat and dense. The mint aroma continues to develop. The calmag issue still exist. I've been upping the dosage but thinking it's more likely lockout. She is on just water for now. Apart from that she is looking spot on!

Not much to be said for this lady. Her calmag issue seems to be still present and I'm suspecting lockout. She's on pHd water and calmag for now. Her aroma is amazing. So minty but cheesy at the same time. Amazing. She is fattening up good regardless of any issues. Not long to go for this girl!

This burd is nice and phat! She also smells absolutely amazing. She is close to being my favourite in the tent. She is still suffering from some calmag issues. Either than or it's something I can't identify or possible rust. She is so close to the end that I'm not overly worried about rectifying it. She is covered in trichomes and looks to be developing well.

All is looking good for this lady. She will be chopped in 1 week. She is fat and is smelling amazing! It's unlike anything I've smelled before. Bring on harvest time!

I was super disappointed that this girl wasn't ready. Only because she smells insane, is super phat and is looking crazy frosty. A real strong mint smell with slight gas and pine. I just wanna smoke her, I can already tell she is going to be some top quality smoke. She wasn't ready half way through week 11 so will see what she is like come end of the week! Fingers crossed!

End of week 11 and this lady was chopped. Thank you for your sacrifice. She smells amazing. Her colas are real fat. It's off to the tent for her for around 10 days before being jarred. I still can't quite believe how well she has done given the issues she had in veg. I'll post a harvest entry once u have dry weights.
