CBD Mango Haze

I have two CBD Mango Haze and two GG4. 100% germination rate and I managed not to drown the seeds and had them protected so outisde animals couldn't eat them. I may have lost a previous try to a bird. Either that or I wasn't gentle enough taking off the seed shell and the top broke off. I figured with my second try at my first grow I would get my nephew his birthday present the GG4. I am growing outside and have bought a small greenhouse because I started super late in the season so I am hoping I can finish them. Plus it will help get them started next season. I wish I could find some 6inch pots with humidity domes for that reason. This season mostly started out of trying to figure out a hobby I could do that I would enjoy and hopefully stick with. I plan on doing some minor breeding experiements with time. Picture 1 is Gorrila Glue 4. These seeds germinated and broke ground about a week before the CBD Mango Haze. This one has been the fastest growing so far. Picture 2 is CBD Mango Haze. I removed the seed shell this am after it had been stuck since it broke ground (5 days I think). I waited to see if the first set of leaves were going to come out so I didn't cut them. Once I cut the seed shell what I call the sun leaves opened right up and as you can see it looks good. I am still waiting a few days before I say it's not going to die because I wasn't awake enough, my hands weren't steady and there was a little to much lift on the plant so I may have damaged it along the stem or at the root ball. I thought I was going to have to cut the sun leaves but I fgured out how not too. Picture 3 is another GG4 (Original Glue I guess is it's new name) Picture 4 is CBD Mango Haze. This one didn't need surgery.

A little bit more growth nothing to crazy. I did give each a half ounce of compost tea five days before the pictures were taken. I am glad they are alive! I am looking into grow lights as I seriously doubt I will be able to finish any fo them before the season is done. Any input there would be much appreciated! I won't have a tent so I am thinking I will something a bit stronger as I won't have reflective walls. If I can figure out how to get them inside where my cats won't eat them I will put them in a white walled corner. I could also throw something together with boxes and poster board or something. I may get a tent at some point but I don't have any sort of timeline on that because while I live in Cali I can veg inside and flip outside. I will be getting a light that can veg and flower obv as I serioulsy doubt I'll be able to finish this season outside and when/if I get a tent I will flower in that.

Pic 1 is of one of my CBD Mango Haze plants. I feel it should be bigger than this at this point but I also know I've made mistakes. I should have transplanted MUCH faster than I did and probably used smaller containers. I am assuming the droopy leaves, the spots of death and te general plant stress you see are... well I have three ideas: 1) nutrients - to many, not enough or the plant sucked up a lot because the seedling dirt was malnurished. 2) Transplant shock, but that should be over and 3) Heat stress. I am leaning mostly towards the first one.

My two CBD Mango haze plants are coming along. One faster than the other and I only transplanted them four or five days apart. The only differences I can think of are one pot has a lot of worm castings while the other only has what came in the dirt and peralite, there will be some minor amount differences as I didn't weigh it. I removed the yellowing/dying leaves on mine, I am not sure what was causing it and I sprayed with spinosad in case it was bugs. I will also try neem if I notice it comes back. One or the other not both. But the newer growth looks better for sure, the bottom leaves have some brown/dead tips that I am watching. I am thinking nitrogen burn rather than bugs but I could be wrong. It could also be root damage from the transplant. I used larger containers than I should have and when I transplanted the dirt just fell apart and the plants went sideways. I thought I killed it for sure! I was ready to just throw it in the compost bin but I took a deep breath, told myself I have to try, finished the transplant and listened to mantras for inner peace. Now it's the biggest plant. The Gorilla Glue is my nephews. We talked about it at length, I told him it was for his birthday and to make sure he wanted that strain and he would take care of the plants. I later learned that he had no idea how to water plants so I taught him how and he now knows how to transplant a plant also. I had him remove whatever leaves he wanted from his plants. I transplanted one for him - its the bigger one. I am assuming it's just because it got transplanted to dirt with nutrition faster than the other that it looks different. Overall I am learning from my own mistakes and having fun now that they are growing. Next grow will be smaller germination/seedling containers and a faster transplant. I will start them under a T5 and nothing covering it once I put it in the sun(something ate my last one or I was to rough when removing the seed covering so I covered them and I think that played with the sun rays along with the greenhouse, I sent that back because it was partial shade and made the light very green) though I have a grow light now so I may use it depending on if I have figured out where to put it by then.

I am not sure if the CBD Mango Haze is flowering but I am pretty sure it is. The red circles while hard to see are marking what I think are the pistils. There are a couple more in the cluster at the top but you can't see them in the picture. I am 99.9% sure the GG4 is flowering as the pistils are more prevalent and are at each bud site. It's super small height wise so I am hoping stretch makes it taller(bushier would be cool too but I don't think stretch includes to much bush). I will be happy with whatever it gives me though. I am not sure I will buy Ethos again. I have some Expert GG on the way, not sure when I will start that one.
