hi everyone!
im so exited to post my new grow since this is my first grow ever ,never even had a plant to water !!
Thanks to youtube and google iv manage to not kill it LOL!
I was learning as I was going so on that notes lets start to grow !!!
I pick up some og bubblegum from zambeza seed ,main reason I whent for those is time ,yield and price !
Basicly they were the cheapest ,producing the the biggest yields in less time possible.
iv skip the seedling stage since I unfortunately didn't record at that stage (didn't know I was gonna make a diarie and find this amazing sites LOL!!)
seedling stage:
-soak some jiffy pellets in straight tap water (my water come out at 8.2ph)
-put the seed in , not even a finger nail deep and cover it back lightly
-put the pellet in a plastic Tupperware with the lid on ,to keep moisture but to make sure it didn't develop any mold,
it was in the dark at 16 degrees Celsius ,was lucky it work I guess ,after 2 days it pop
-on days 4 I transplant it in a mini pot ..size of a solo cup
-POT SIZES:- seedling stage - jiffy pellet
- veg stage - solo cup ,1.5 gal air pot , 6 gal air pot
- flower stage - 6 gal air pot
-LIGHT: 19/5 veg
12/12 flower
used a cheap (again trying to keep my cost as low as possible) amazon light at round 80$can called oneo 1000w
definitely not strong enuff to cover my 4x2 tent size canopy
-TENT: vivosun 4x2x60
Zambeza seed ,og bubble gum grew fast, I took more time ,(2 month)
with my inexperienced iv only started 2 seed for a 4x2 ,soooo took more time to make sure I fill up the 2x2 space she add (other seed was a freebie blue dream and stay small so the OGBG end up having to be bigger then 2x2 feet since she was growing at a faster rate...definitely a fast grow !!!
She took all the training ,defoliation I throw at her ,very impressive...compare to the other plant she was recovering in matter of hours after some bending and LST, amazing!
FEEDING:
iv fed her organic gaia green amendment ,she loved it ,never show sign of deficiency what so ever ,was very easy to grow .
adjusting the ph with food grade citric acid at 6.5 and molasses to feed the microbial life of the coco medium (canna coco)maybe once a week in veg and almost every watering in flower (75%) . also added 1 tbs here and there of cal/mag
amended 4 tbs/gal, good for 5 week at first (root r not big yet) transplant 4 week and 2tbs top dress every 3-4 week after that
I would fo sure recommend her ,I was so happy I made 2 clones ( next diarie) and still have 4 seed unpop.
hope you enjoy my grow and please remember its my first grow ever
so unfortunately I lost some picture of last week and the beginning of this week where I transplant her into a 1.5 gallon pot
but expect from that she basically grew untouch ,increase the amount of water but still only every 2days
This week I transplant her into her last pot ,a 6 gallon air pot,
as some top grew taller ,I top them and fim them depending of the space needed to be fill with some more tighting it down but she grew strong and took everything I did flawlessly
She really benefits and love defoliation ,never seem to stop her grow and enabling me to expose more tops to the lights ..all those lil shout u see in the middle end up being top colas as I keep bringing higher top down to level out the canopy
trying to keep these low budget as possible ,I didn't bother getting a scrog net so instead of putting it on at this point in the grow I just kept using lil pipe cleaner bought in the craft section at the dollarstore
she really started to grow faster as she went into flowering so I kept the canopy level and installing a electric cable around my tent (remember cheap as possible) and using the pipe cleaner
after her stretching done she started to make buds , as the week progress she started and kept making buds ,every day I could see them growing ,was crazy
Shes on the last strech ..suppose to be 55 days dat would give her around 10 more days ..the buds are getting significantly bigger and bigger every day but will see wat the trichomes says might go longer then 55 days of flower
I just upgraded to a spiderfarm light soooo happy it came in before the end of the grow.
might only been a week but she sure do look like she benefit from the extra light.
just put her in 2 days of darkness to get a smother smoke also increase the thc but mainly to get a smoother snoke since thc wont go up by much ,be good for a dispensary that need to hit 20% thc to get in the shop and lets say have only 18,5% ,with the darkness they could get 20%
hi every one!
I rated just ok since its my first grow everrrr ,its probly my lack of skills . the smell is amazing , I get orange like crazy and very skunky ,no bubble gum smell what so ever
I wet trim only big fan leaves and leave and the rest on it for later dry trim ,I like to have a very slow dry time . I keep my humidity at around 60% the first 3 days then lower it to 50 the rest of the time ,this one took 10 days to dry
she gave very pungent buds ,a lil fluffy but dats expected for a first grow ever ,as I m learning how to keep control on the environnement .
ORANGE FLAVOR WITH A VERY PUNGENT SKUNK ODOR wit a lil pine smell , smell so good makes me wanna smoke it all !!!
53.1gr of dry buds , and 7g of trim
@hansherbert3,just got a honeywell humidifier on amazon for 40 buck and I don't have a ventilation system so I just close the top vent so I don't loose too much and let the side smaller vent simply half open so I still get air circulation but still get to keep most of my humidity. I made some test prior to grow to be able to know what level I should adjust my humidifier to get what level of %, at like half capacity it gave me round 70%-80% ,if I kept it fullblast was giving me 99% and water was perling on the wall lol not recommended do as fo sure will get u fungus gnat ...my next grow I will keep it at 60% max to avoid any issue with fungus gnat ...have some seedling in 30% right now and they do just as fine maybe take a lil longer but dats fine for me
@XII_XII_MRGreen,ahah thanks ,there not huge but theres a lot of tops ,62 in a 2.5x2 space to be exact
think next time ill go for less tops so maybe they can get bigger ...its my first grow so im still learning !
