Grow #1: (WhiteGrape X FruitPunch)

I had to wait an extra 12 hours to put them in the auto pots but as nervous as I am I think its gonna be ok! 5 of the 8 Seeds popped and I am hoping for a couple more babies but I definilty have my 4 contenders! there are 4 more tiny pots but I dont think much is gonna happen with them.

Wish i had started feeding during week one. Turned on Auto-pots. Added a humidifier. I'm sad I didn't have one from the start. Halfway through the week I noticed a grey film on the coco. I read it is harmless mold/salt. I hand-turned the top soil in an attempt dry it a little. Will monitor and post a pic if it comes back

hopefully see a burst of growth with a buffed up diet! I'm concerned about light levels and humidity, But everyone keeps saying things are fine and to just enjoy the ride :) Halfway through I decided to top feed a bit, like 1/2 cup every other day Going to stop soon, just making sure. Saw negative effects from over watering towards end of week. so I stopped Messed with the Autopots, hope its cycling water quick enough. def gonna change this next grow.

Starting this week feeling strong. Was over watering a bit last week, but after 2 days of leaving the Autopots alone the plants seem to be flourishing. Added a bit stronger Nutrients and hoping it uses most of the resivor this week! Also hoping to get a water pump in there too. 1/2 through the week i decided to attempt a little LST. I hope this works! Day after LST they have snapped back. can hardly tell I did anything!!! In fact they have finally gotten to a much greener shade and I think the new higher nutrients have started to take effect! Also noticing the pre-filter was REALLY cutting airflow so decided to wash it. The air flow leaving the tent is MAX now. Prob gonna leave charcoal off till i notice a smell. After LST i noticed they looked more slanted than angled so I adjusted and now 3 days after LST they look GREAT! In fact the plants that looked overwatered are doing better than the original favored picks. I'm hoping by next feed they will all look about the same .

Well after asking some questions I discovered that all the autopots were 7 or more ph So I flushed plants down to 6.3ish and dumped entire autopot system. I had been checking reisvor but not the actual pots. They are freshly fed and phd down to 5.9. I hope that helps All the new growth looks green. i'm hoping things are better and just a bit stunted. Definitly FAR from where it should be though After a few days the res is 5.9 but the damn pots are fucking 7 again! I'm not gonna flush these bitches again. i dropped the res to 5.5 and mixxed in some of that in the autopots and the are now 6.2ish. Fuck it I hope that helps, they seem to be doing ok, so I think it was just on the edge of the spectrum. I hope dropping the PH gradually a bit works 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I have two plants that look good but small. 1 plant that looks small and fucked and one that looks big and fucked. I'm just looking for a game finish achievement Not much change over the last few days. more of the bottom leaves are yellowing and i can tell the plants are suffering but i think i just have to play this out. PH was 7 again in the res so i lowered it down to 6.2 and finally got a water pump in there. i'm hoping it circulates the water and helps keep the ph in check. The pots are higher again 6.6ish... This next feeding i will blast that down to 5.5 and try and hold it there a week. I got the tent camera going so i have a live feed up too. Its nice!

Things are not going well. I assume i fucked up the flush. I think my ph surged high again and is slowly being dropped back down. Its 6.5 at the start of the week in the pots and 5.5 in the res. The plants have stopped growing mostly and All are showing yellow leafs at the bottom of the plant. One plant is so puny I don't think it is worth keeping. I hope I am being super critical, but all that yellowing is very worrying. Things are not improving. The res is back to 7+ again 😑 so are the aquapots. I feel like i'm just DUMPING PH down into the res. Gonna try and lower it again tonight. But I think the plants have been locked out for to long. they are eating themselves from the bottom up now. So much yellowing and now browning. I plucked off sever all the worst ones, but its on all the plants with no end in sight. My top right plant is a joke at this point. pretty discouraging, but trying to see it through and learn to get the ph under control before i move on. Well i feel like there has been some movement over the past few days. i did some LST and it made me realize how much! I have the nuets down to acceptable levels, and will change tomorrow. I'm gonna cut the feed in half for a week and heavily monitor PH and see what happens. I think the back right plant is dead though. Ph is 5.8 in res and holding for past few days. pots are 6.4 ish. trying to get lower. plants still got yellow creep, but also showing lots of bud sites

This week I decided that I have over feed them and let the PH get all out of whack... Most of the nuets were left in the res so i added 2.5 Gallons to cut it. The feed should have been about halved. I have closely monitored the PH and it has stayed on track most of the week and the pots have dropped to a 6.2ish Leaves continue to yellow and fall off. New growth is happening though and besides the third plant I would really like to stick things out. I think PH is under control. I think yellowing is slowing. I've been pulling about 5-6 yellow leaves off a day. The bottom 2 plants look pretty good, but the top two might need to retire. Hoping a fresh dose of feed will put some pep in their step... i dont know if i can expect much more growth at this point, just budding. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Ok I have decided my PH meter is garbage. I am doing test drops for the rest of the grow. I think the pots are running to low in ph now 🙄 I'm probably gonna retire the small shrimpy plant its pretty dead. I'm still trying to rehab the other 3. It'll be interesting to see what another week brings. I put the exhaust to vent back in. it makes the temp go up to 86 but the humidity also jumped to 80%! So if it can take the heat the RH might help alot! 48 hours of 80% RH is doing WONDERS!!!! pots are 6.5 ph, i am gonna try and drop them a bit. There is nice new green growth and not much new yellow! I'm feeling good. one plant is a loss, one is a winner and 2 are hanging in there. For my first grow i'm not mad :) Pots are good. Res is good. need to try and cool that down somehow. RH is good. gonna have to regulate that some though. Yellow is slowly fading or the leaves are coming off! Bud formation is good and the 2nd and 3rd place plant are trying to catch up! I see where a lot of people are in their yield and i will be half that.... but i cant wait to smoke it! even if its only a bowl! it's gonna be AMAZING! And I will just appreciate a successful grow even more!

So I'm pretty happy this week. We added a 10 gal humidifier and an exhaust that goes to the attic! The result is a MUCH cooler tent around 78F and room with a 65% RH! I retired the dead plant. The soil/roots smelled so foul! Major sulfur. After reading I think it had root rot. The pots are 6.0 and the res is about there. The best plant is looking so beautiful, and the other 2 are trying to catch up. I'm still unsure about this feeding together, that have separated progression by a few weeks I feel, but its not that different So I'm just gonna forge ahead. Still a decent amount of yellow, but I think alot of dmg has been done and I just have to keep playing. Think I'm getting around 55RH and 78F. Pots and Res are coming in at 6.0. Think things are going well. I can see why you would throw the smaller 2 away, even the best plant isnt gonna produce half of what it should, but as long as I have room I'm gonna keep growing em!

PRETTY ASS SMALL SHORTIES Buds have formed nicely on best boi. other 2 are a week behind but getting danker every day! I'm not sad. I do worry about bud rot, i ran 70 RH for a bit, but now its mostly in the 50s. I didnt change the res this week, i just added a bit more bloom and we'll see what it all looks like in a week. about ready to flush and smoke first harvest i'm thinking??? I smoked the 4th plant today. it dried for about 3 weeks. FUCKING AWESOME MAN! it tasted pretty damn good, smelled great, was sticky and got me a very nice high! And that was the FAIL plant! I'm so excited to harvest but after looking at alot of tricome shots I think i'm a little bit always, but glad I can take pics and study them! The res flooded my tent, but lucky there was only like 3 g in there so it didn't do much! Gave em a fresh feed and now i think we are just finishing up Got a pi running some digital data! more Spec. Got a Blue PH pen and realized my PH was still off. It should be fine now, but its to late to do much good for these little guys.

I'm going to let them continue to develop off the res I have then pull them. I have the PH right now, but I think these puppies ran 7.5 almost the entire run through. Tricomes are about ready and I could pull 2 and be happy, but I'm trying to let the 3rd plant develop a bit.

This was my first attempt. I learn sooo much! I know i got a very low harvest b/c my buddy grew 2 of the seedlings and his plants are literally picture perfect. He pulled 5.2 oz of one plant! But he is the ideal setup. This was my first time, and what I dialed alot of my variables in on! 5 day dry, and will cure for a couple weeks THIS won 3rd place in first grow i'm so excited. Also been smoking the best boi for a few weeks and after a month cure its some REALLY REALLY good weed. I couldnt be more encouraged! my other grows are going well now, although i still starved another plant a bit. I cant wait to continue my journy and I will grow this plant again!
