Day 0 - She's in a red solo cup, that has been cut in 1/2, and has 5 small holes in the bottom! The idea is that she's building a tight root ball, and will explode upon transplant! Can also slip a sandwich bag over top, as a humidity dome!
Day 7 - Thinking that she should have the small pot rooted by day 10.
Day 10 - Transplant day! When I transplant, I sometimes like to pre-moisten the growing media.
About 6 red-solo-cups of de-chlorinated tap water was hand-worked into the soilless medium, to moisten the area around and under where the root ball is going.
After transplanting, I watered about 2 red-solo-cups of water after neatly covering, and compressing the medium around the root ball.
Day 14 - She's starting to take off fast! Nutrients start on next watering day.
I feel like I can confirm that this girl was stunted by the small starting pot size.
She's throwing hairs from every node, already! She's going to be a small girl.
0.5 gallon dosage of the above listed nutrients, every 4 days (when the growing medium becomes 95% dry), since transplant (day 10).
Day 26 - LST and light defoliation.
Day 28 - Tucked the leaves, and noticed some perspiration between where two leaves were laying against each other.
1 gallon dosage of the above listed nutrients should last about 5 days before drying out, to be ready for the next dose.
LST'd the canopy out flat! She's about done stretching/stacking!
I will start with Bloom nutes next watering, at 1 gallon dosage. (1tsp of floranova bloom in 1 gallon of de-chlorinated tap water, PH'd to 6)
Day 35 - Light defoliation for this girl!
I'm thinking i'll put a bucket under her pot, to get the canopy closer to the light!
She's trained out nice and flat, and won't be getting much taller... I think she will benefit from being closer to the 1000PAR mark at this stage of flower!
Fed/watered with 1 gallon of the above listed nutrients, every 3 days. (when the growing medium becomes 95% dry)
Gave her a light selective de-leafing, to open up the inner bud-sites to more light.
The timelapse shows me why I won't be transplanting like this again. (Slow growth/lost time from constricted root mass)
Bulking fast, with barely any stretch! She's screaming towards the finish line!
The smell/thc production is amazing! I'm the worst at describing smell though..
Plucked a few leaves that were looking at me funny ;) Not much to do!
Smells of sweet berries, after a fresh rainfall.. Smells amazing!
Watered with 2.5 gallons of the above listed nutrients, every 5-6 days. (when the soil becomes 95% dry)
10% of the solution watered runs out the bottom of the pot, and is removed with a wet-vacuum.
Almost at the finish line! She's just been watered with de-chlorinated tap water, for this week!
Very strong smelling, I'm stoked to try a sample ;)
Harvest is this week!
Vegged for 3 weeks, then transitioned to flower with strong vigor of growth. Very potent - Foxtail buds.
Probably could have lolipopped her more, to reduce lowers, and promote better airflow throughout the canopy.
Yielded 116.4 grams (88 grams of Tops, and 28.4 grams of lowers).
Some super nice plants you grow my friend, amazing manoeuvres to keep them babies lowdown and tidy!!! 👍🌞
I'm very interested in the medium and nutrients you use bud because it seems so much easier than the Canna program I'm currently on!!! Mad mixing n Shit 😕
I only see 1 bottle of GHE for each stage....is that it??
Do you use Coco and perlite or add amendments?
Cheers man 😊
@Basementganja, Well I must say a big thank you for that and I'll definitely be looking into the GHE products and maybe a soil mix for my next grow!!! It makes complete sense as I've been using Coco but what with with the run off each time I'm wasting way too many nutrients!!!
Cheers bud and Happy Growing to you too 👍😊
@Bushbaby808, Thank you! Keep it simple, friend! Just GHE Floranova Grow, and Bloom(ph to 6) for my future grows: 1tsp/gal of floranova returns as 750ppm, which is perfect for all stages of growth!
Sometimes, If i think the plant wants more, i'll go to 2tsp/gal(1500ppm).
I feed every watering, after week 2 from seed, and primarily focus on good watering habits/dosage.
I avoid coco, because coco must remain wet. This complicates the process, compared to soil, where you allow the soil to dry out 95% between waterings.
I've been experimenting with different soilless/soil mixtures, and have found my results to be the same regardless. Only the style slightly changes.. all the mixtures i've used include perlite..
For example, the Wedding Cheesecake diary that is currently active on my page is using a soil mixture: Shultz Premium Potting mix(includes timed release in soil). This soil has a generic NPK value, and with the timed release, you will see in her diaries that she was only watered, with water, until mid flower! easy peasy :)

Happy growing!
Great work there man! Love that tester strain! Insane trichomes production on them! I know it's cookies genetics in her and probably some diesel. Keep it up looking good!
