Hi everyone, This is my first grow. I'm using Walmart and Home Depot for my supplies , a few fellow growers told me you can not grow this way. and you cant grow in miracle Gro Soil. I guess, i will be needing lots of luck. i'm trying to grow on a budget. i just hope that it will work. thank you everyone. i place the seeds in the pots today 3-19-20. 😍😎Seeds just popped to day. All 6 of them!! Will upload later today 3-22-20😊 😵😢😨.3-22 1 Bcn Critical Lxx this seedling is not doing well. the other are growing nicely. should i throw this one out and plant a new seed? or give it a few days and see what happens??

Hi everyone😃, today is day 8 (3-27-20) the start of my 2nd week., The first 1bcn critical seedling looked as if she was going to die. but she started growing. Im happy she did. i was about to rip her out and plant a new seed. Most of my seedling are about an inch to two inches tall. But two look a little tall leggy. ( sourD and purple kush) not sure why?? 😵😵the lights are the same. The other two SourD and Purple Kush didnt get tall and leggy. Do you think?? that i mixed up the seed or pot ? that is why two are long leggy? Are they too small sized for 8 days old?? I hope this is normal.😎 ill pretend everything normal and going as plan.

Diatomaceous earth, neem, and the main one : yellow stick paper! If you can, put glue on the border of the pot also.

Hi Growers 😡1ST the war with Springtails bugs is still going on !! with the help of Captain Jack spray, I have slowed them down 👿. I think I like this spray.😀 I give away two of my babies. to the nice cat old lady. she gardens outdoors. 😢 I Have a small tent its 2X4 I Am not sure how many girls, I can keep in this tent. Or how big my girls will get? next grow I will be better prepared, still learn. how many autos can I keep in a 2x4 tent? The girls are now 4-6 inches tall so I started LST on them. I can't believe how fast they came back. they turned to face the light. If I did not do The LST right? please let me know. I will be watering tomorrow. 6.5ph. 22 days in, sour diesel 1 growing great she is 5 inches BCN Critical lxx is starting to bush out. 5 inches purple glam rush she is growing well to 4.5 inches day 15 BCN Critical lxx #2 is growing better and improving day 22 sour diesel #2 still growing super slow😢 I will be giving this one to the cat lady too. springtails bugs in this pot. Thank you, everyone !! For the help and support with grow !!😁 next update 4-13-20 😊Day 25 !!!😎 did some light defoliation about 12 leaves only to help let the light in. and Adjusted the LST. it helps get more light to the inner branch. trying😻 to get them all bushy🙌👏I think its working. I will be watering tomorrow 4/14/20 about 75 to 100 ml, I will try to ph it to 6.5. thank you every1 !

😎WoW !! Great week !! 😁 the Girls are growing fast !! and strong 💪and they are starting to smell 😷😂 Week 6 will include DayS 36-42 Will Be doing my next update on day 39 All I did was water them at a PH of 6.4 Super easy week. I hope it stays this week. Sour Diesel 1 give her 250 Ml BCN Critical Kush XXL 250ML Purple Kush 200ML Sour Diesel 2 and BCN Critical Kush XXL they got 150ML still doing super lite LST, Just to help get light to the intersite. I order LST YoYo pully. to help make my life easier if anyone has any ideas to help me along. Please comment, any and all help welcome. Thank You Grower team Hi Growers today is day 40, I did some more LST, and lite Defoliation and bending leaves that are blocking sites. water them at a PH of 6.5 Super easy week. 😎They are drying out faster now!! 😎 Sour Diesel 1 give her 350 Ml BCN Critical Kush XXL 300ML Purple Kush 300ML Sour Diesel 2 and BCN Critical Kush XXL @ they got 150ML 😁I think that this is getting easier 😊 Thanks!!!! to everyone that is helping me along !! The next update will be day 42 to close out the week !! I will be giving away the sour Deisel 2 plant to the cat lady !! the real sun works better than the grow light. Last up of this weel 41 almost 42 day😂😂 The girls just keep growing. 😕I thinking of getting a better grow light. I am not sure that my homemade br30 light bulbs at 130 watts, in a 2x4 tent will give off the required light to get thru flowering?? How can I tell if more light is needed?? 😟😟 I now have to water every 3 days. I give the Sour Deisel to the cat lady to grow in her outdoor garden. it's crazy how fast they grow out in the sun. I will be starting a next on day 43 May 1 2020 I hope everyone is doing well !! 🙏 and happy growing !! 😀

Hello Growers !! today is the start of week 8. day 50. This week we will be covering day 50-57, last week went well. hope for a great and easy week 8 as well. Day 50 they seem to have stopped stretching, and starting to stack buds, 🙏hoping for huge buds. and a great harvest 👏 I have noticed that the pots are no longer hold water like before. When I water I have to do it slowly. the water comes out the bottom of the pot.and its not staying in the soil, I have to give time to the plants to suck up the water. water was ph to 6.4, I gave the girls 30 oz each, and I have to water every other day now. 😟or they dry out and start looking sad, 😦 Maybe I need to use a bigger pot next time, I should from a 3Gal to a 5Gal. update for day 56 😱my ph in the soil is creeping up!! it's at 6.8 -7.1,😕 I am not sure why its move up?? I watered my girls with water ph to 6.3 hoping to help bring down the ph to around 6.4-6.6ph😕 if anyone knows what is causing the problem. please comment below or message me. Im still watering every other day, I see no problem yet, I will be starting the 9th week on Sunday5-17-20. thank you!!😀 everyone that following along, and help me grow !!😀 😁All my Girls are budding up and stacking up real nice!!😁 and the girls are starting to fill up the tent, 😊 🙏I was hoping for maybe 2oz🙏just to break even on supplies and electric🙏now i think i may get 3oz out of it !! feeling positive 😇😊 thinking of upgrading to a real grow light maybe the Mars Hydro Mars TSW 2000 for $300 and a 4x4 tent or a 5x5 tent, 🙏Hope everyone is well, AND HAPPY GROWING👊👍

😎Hi Growers !! 😎 week 9 day 58-63, hoping to get to week nine with no problems, the girls are still on autopilot, there doing their own thing, growing nicely. 😊The only thing I had to do was water them and ph the water.😊 I am trying to get the ph in the soil back to around 6.4-6.6, but it is at 6.9-7.2😰 which I think its too high. so I have been watering at 6.3-6.4 hoping to lower the ph in the soil. if anyone has any ideas or can help me, it will be much helpful and needed. thank you in advance!! for all the help everyone. is it ok to top-dress my pots this far into flower?? 🤔i have a problem this week😆 and I know I crate it !! I think i have a cal-mag problem, but I am not sure. maybe its that I lower the ph to 6.3, I am going to try and get it up to 6.5- 6.7. I just hope it will correct my problem. lesson learn, do not make problems, and try to fix something that's not broken. I will be updating on day 61, May 20.2020 😀thank you for following !!😀
