Day 106, 8/22, Day 36 of flowering: What I hope to be my last defoliation took place. Sticky! Took 4-5 scrubs to get my hands and arms clean and I'm still trying to clean the shears!
Buds seems to be filling out more, in comparison to today's side shot and last week's day 102 side shot. According to breeder there is a 50-55 day flowering period, so we are just shy of 2 or 3 weeks of that. The smell in our house is intense, instead of in tents 😏
Day 107, 8/23: I don't believe she is getting any more vertical height, so I have moved the lights back down a bit, I'm about 16"-18" in most areas, 15" at the very closest. She is 22" tall at the highest point now, about 26-27" across and pushing the boundaries of my poor 2 foot wide tent. My wife took a moment to remind me that I foolishly thought "I can probably get 3 or 4 plants in this tent when I know what I'm doing!" at the top of this little adventure.
Watered at night with filtered water, 6.6pH, 645ppm, 1.5 tsp of Blackstrap Molasses, 1.5 tsp of FFBB, 1 tsp of FFTB. Retired AN B-52 & FFGB for the rest of the grow.
Day 108: Really starting to bulk up now. I think the defoliation helped direct the energy and with the past 2 feedings relatively clean and just Tiger Bloom this time I think the results are amplified. Using some paper clips to secure stems leaning opposite directions in a buddy system of sorts.
Day 109: Not much to report. Oh, all my clones are gone for sure. Clonex helped the lone survivor for a bit, but likely too little too late. I guess I should take heart in knowing this strain is reportedly difficult to clone. Next grow I'm going to try my hand at CBD Crack by FastBuds and Northern Lights by RQS, both autos, but after that I'll give a go at another photoperiod (This, Kosher, or GG4) and re-attempt cloning.
Day 110: Didn't water :(
Day 111: Ended up getting home late last night and wasn't feeling the greatest, so I forgot to water. She is a little wilty this morning, but safe I believe. We put in 2L of pH'd water this morning and I will likely water again in 2 days instead of the usual 3.
Day 112, 8/28, Day 42 of flowering: Felt considerably light, so to not take chances watered with a full watering. 1/2 tsp FFTB and 1.5 tsp of FFBB, 6.6pH, 304 ppm. Last FF nutrient dosage. Next watering to be Molasses and AN Seniszym, then flush

Smokin_Joestarted grow question 4 years ago
Topping Question: When Topping, tutorials state to wait til you have 4-6 nodes. Does this count the cotyledon leaves, or for that matter the first single serrated leaf? Where do you begin counting nodes?
Thanks in advance!

The first true leaf! not the cotyledon leafs. Hope this helps! Happy growing!
Smokin_Joestarted grow question 4 years ago
Sorry - Another topping / training question: When is the best time to "Top" your plants in regards to time of the day, e.g. morning/midday/night in terms of light schedule?
In short: do you cuts your plants when the lights come on, before they go off, or somewhere in between?

I don't think it makes a difference really. Whatever time is most suitable for yourself. For me it is in the morning before lights go off or sometimes in the evening when the just come on. What I will say though, is make sure she's well fed and healthy looking before doing and most strains bounce back very, very quickly. 👍🌱
Smokin_Joestarted grow question 4 years ago
I'm looking to rest my concerns that these removed fan leaves from lower/center canopy are not simply just appearing so due to lack of light and prior plant tie damage.
Focus on the yellow/brown discoloration, actual physical damage is accounted for.
More details in main post.

After reading the main post and checking out the leaves that you removed, I would have to say it is from lack of light and prior tie damage. Everything else seems fine.
Smokin_Joestarted grow question 4 years ago
Getting ready to install carbon filter; found myself wondering if growers typically leave their filters/exhaust/fans on during dark periods?
Up to this point, I've had everything on one power-strip/timer: circulation fan, exhaust fans, and lights. Should I keep anything on 24/7?

Most definitely need to run fans always. Humid stagnant air Is molds best friend. Cutting the fans off is inviting mould to germinate and take over. U always want air exchange and airflow in ur tent. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

I'm not sure if this is nutrient burn or some sort of deficiency. Burnt tips were from possible previous nutrient burn, but now I'm seeing Brown spots and some discoloration. Please check my week to see full details.

I'm still not sure if this is a deficiency or some sort of burn. It's definitely spreading a bit more, and I'm unsure if there's time left to address it in the grow. Video of full plant in week.

looks like a magnesium deficiency. I checked your nutrient feed. I would have had you up the cal mag but you are so close to harvest. Having issues with this during the flush is not unusual. Your strain sat 50-55 days and you are in week 8 of flower I would recommend you flush / leach your plants of nutrients and chop very soon.

@Bootymissles,
I'll have to look into it. Really hoping to find some steady 1:1 genetics - or even better 2:3 ala Harle Tsu, Harlequin or Orange Herijuana strains.
My fear is that the 2-3 folk who have tested this strain by this breeder (Reviews here &@ Seedsman) reported no CBD. I've no way of testing as the regulations in my area only allow craft testing and none for medical home grows yet despite legality.
I note that Garden of Green is the breeder of both of our grows. If you end up getting a sample tested of the KnC CBD, would be very interested in the results!

Wow good job bro for first time. Only gets better. How often do you use your calmag? I use 1ml per liter in every watering. Even with the fertilizer. Even though advanced nutrients says it has calmag added. There is something about LED lights and calmag deficiency. I use the 3 part ph perfect and I don't have problems anymore. My last grow I had the cotyldons turn yellow after 3-4 days and the leaves starting turning yellow a few days after. But once my fertilizer and calmag came it fixed it within a week and they took off. I used it on my new grow diary and watered my seedlings before they even popped out of the soil. I mixed it really weak. I used 1ml per.liter and they have been green since they popped up. Starting 4th set of leaves and the cotyldons are still green. Good job buddy 🤜🤛

@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, you know what - I didn't really use a lot this grow, and kinda introduced it late on I believe, I'd have to go back through the weeks to see, but the bottle I have is still super full.
Got me wondering if the auto's I have now might need some.
And thanks for the props!

Looking really good! You seem to be doing very well for ur first time? Cannabis is like kids... ur super nervous with the first one because everything is new. But by the time you have a second, third, fourth, etc... ur like an old pro. You figure out what’s really important, what’s worry worthy and you realize that you can relax and enjoy the experience before it’s all over and you are on to the next grow! Enjoy these early days, learn as much as you can and have fun. 🇨🇦

@Momgrowsthechronic,
Nope, down here in the US, my state approved indoor grow for medical patients at the top of the year.
That's exactly why I want to try to the autos. Mainly worried about light leak in my space, even with blackout curtains and the Apollo tent. So far so good 🤞
I think with heat and light what it is in my area, I should stick to auto's in the summer, and in the fall/winter get the photo's I want in. I've seen people piggyback the two off another and switch the lights to 12/12 after the auto's flower, I think I can manage that.

@Smokin_Joe, auto’s are a lot easier to grow and it’s seed to harvest in just 8-12 weeks (on average). It’s a great way to master growing healthy plants without the worry of switching them over to flower, light when they shouldn’t have light, length of grow, etc. They don’t usually yield as much as a photoperiod grow done right but I’ve come pretty close. And you have the opportunity to grow and sample multiple strains per year! Congrats on ur country going legal, are you in Canada too?

Plant looks good. How’s the smell developing?
My SCB started getting a very sweet fruity smell at that stage. Of the 4 varieties I grew in the first run the SCB cured bud has the best smell and flavour.

@RockyRidger, I did... the newest ones were put out by the window since I also have the one tent. So they are no longer in the most humid environment. I guess I can try to rig something up to keep it humid longer. Right now I have 2 in solo cups in soil/coir not doing so hot - they were great until transplant - and 2 in water still that look ok. If I could just keep 1 I'll be happy, so I'll keep at it. 4 more seeds of this in the box too :)
Clones are roughly 4 weeks old at this point I believe.
Your autos are looking good by the way! Lots of good strains in there!

@Smokin_Joe, No I dont have the space to have a separate veg room for clones. Have a run of autoflowers going in my 4x4 tent(box) right now. Are you keeping the clones in a humid environment? How old are the clones?

Smokin_Joecommented4 years ago
@RockyRidger, the smell right now is definitely growing stronger day by day. It's got a heavy/musky sweet scent to it, maybe a slight diesel aroma if you really get in there or like after the last defoliation. It's seems most noticeable before and after watering - maybe only before since I'm carrying her near my face to the tub 😂
Did you get any clones off your run? I've heard she's hard to clone, but I had thought I nailed it anyway; now even the healthiest of the clones are struggling though.

Joe topping can be done anytime but I prefer early into days light cycle. I feel the warmth and light help dry and help heal the cut wound. I won’t mist for two days either. Moisture helps breed infection.

Lovely grow man. Try not to push so much water/feeds through your plant. You are flushing out all the enzymes when you get run-off. No run-off with soil. Unless you are hard flushing and even then it's always recommend to grab a cup and mix it with your new mix to quickly promote good bactria/enzyme production. Good luck bro.
