2/21/20 Welcome to Day 1. Today the seeds sprouted through the soil. Super excited to grown these plants and have a nice sativa ready in time for summer.
Plants are coming along. I'm leaving to NYC on day 11 for a week so I'll be excited to see how they are doing when I get back on day 19. This was a easy week. Watered plain PH'd water when the soil dried out. My roommate will water them in my absence.
Plant 1 started having this brown dot show up on its leaf. Not quite sure what its from yet.
I returned from a 1 week trip midway through week 3. The plants sure have grown! Plant #1 especially. She is getting big. Although she does have some brown spots on her bottom leaves that I'm not sure what they are from. I don't see any pests on the leaves. Ive had similar spots on past plants and thought it was a fungus or something. I will keep an eye on it.
Plant #2 has been stunted from starting off in a solo cup. I started one in a solo cup and transplanted in my last grow and the plant did great but I tried it again this round and it isn't going as great as last time. The plant is literally half the size as plant #1. I will not be starting any autos in solo cups anymore. I just transplanted it to a 3gal pot yesterday. Hopefully it starts to grow more now that its in a 3gal pot.
Week 4 has been a crazy one. This whole Corona Virus Pandemic is going on but that's ok. We will survive and I've had a lot of time spent at home with the garden. So at the end of week 3 I transplanted Plant #2. Well, it took her a while to recover from the transplant and is looking stunted. She has finally started showing some progress the last few days of this week so hopefully she will grow bigger next week. I also started LST on her.
Plant #1 has been doing great! So much growth on the side branches and has been doing really well with the LST. Oh yeah, plant 1 has also started showing pistils here and there.
I started adding nutrients into the feedings also. 1/4 strength Grow Big and Big Bloom by Fox Farms, and some Cal-Mag.
Plant #2 is growing. Im happy that it survived the shock from transplanting and seems to be on its way. Plant #1 continues to get bigger and bigger. I keep tying down the main top and have started tying down the other tops too. Continued feeding quarter strength nutrients.
This week went smoothly. Plant #1 continued to get bushier and Plant #2 showed good growth this week. Plant #1 looks like its on the verge of stretching up. Same Nutrient Schedule as last week.
Well my computer decided to die on me this week so that sucks. I set my camera up to send files directly to my phone now so that’ll do for now. Anyways,
Plant #1 has started to flower. Plant #2 is still vegging pretty hard and has blown up this week! I think she’ll be the bigger of the two. I was worried the transplant stunted her but she has bounced back and is thriving!
Plant 1 is working on building buds and plant 2 is just finishing stretching! Plant 2 is taller than plant 1 now and kinda squished in the corner lol. The tent is basically filled side to side.
Plant 2 has stretched up to 22in tall. Plant 1 is putting on weight. I wish I had a bigger tent so plant 2 could really stretch out. She seems a bit squished.
Took some pictures of the girls in the sun. Plant 1 is starting to fatten up. Plant 2 is still forming buds. They are getting quite thirsty. I’m watering every other day now.
I wish I had a bigger tent for them. Plant 2 is getting pretty squished and some branches on the backside are suffering from not getting enough light :( maybe one day I’ll have more room
Another week of flowering. Plant 1 is getting fatter everyday and #2 is about to start packing on the weight. Plant 2 is 25” tall now! She’s going to have some big buds.
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
Loving the grow and its inspiring me to set my own up for the first time. I'm setting up my first 2x4 grow tent in the coming weeks. Im worried about temperature control in the tent how do you deal with that?. Also, do you mind sharing your tips for ventilation? Specifically where do you run you vent out to. Is it dangerous to vent the air from the tent into an apartment room? Does it need to go outside the apartment the be safe? Thanks again
@kaneownz, I use tap water. I used to fill up gallon jugs and leave them with the lids off for 24 hours to dechlorinate the water but I've even stopped doing that. I just use tap water, add my nutrients then PH balance it to around 6.5
@Gorfgrows, Thanks for the info and tips. Youre the man! Question on watering with tap water.. being in the city and an apartment I dont believe I cant create or get RO water (dont know much about the benefits yet but most youtubers use it). Any tips on that area for a beginner?
@kaneownz, Thank you!
temp control hasn't really been an issue for me. It's only gotten into the low 80's a few times. My tents are outside and I live by the coast so it doesn't get too hot here. Since they are outside I vent straight outside. Its not dangerous to vent the air into an apartment room. but if you do that you could run into the temps in that room rising and then sucking hot air back into your tent causing high temps.
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and ask the growing ganja gods to protect your women until the growth is over.
