Blue Dream/Gelato (CKS) - Coco/LED/4*4

teabee All good so far, just sprouted

teabee All good so far, ones a little weird looking but seems to be growing still. feeding at half strength right now. Planning on mainlining/Manifolding for first time this grow

teabee This is my first attempt mainlining.

teabee Topping and cutting them up hardly slowed them down, they are growing well

teabee Everything seems good so far, left for a few days and when I got back they were ready to be topped again. I topped to the 3rd node on each branch and cut out the 2nd growth nodes, going for 8 mains on the 3 plants, and gonna be 12 mains on the triple branch gelato

teabee Moved the plants into the bigger tent and hooked up the watering manifold, have it set to water 4x a day for 2 minutes each time, will adjust the length of time it runs or maybe add a 5th watering if necessary. I'll continue with the LST, they have been growing great so far

teabee Just been bending them away from center of plant, keeping them even. Been plucking off the bigger fan leaves blocking light and lower on plant. Going to start letting them go more vertical now and hopefully be able to flower them soon

teabee I was away for a few days this week, The pots were dry when i got home but they seem pretty happy overall. I did some defoliation and swapped the timer to 12/12 on July 22, So the night of July 22-23 is first night of 12 hours darkness. Changed the water pump timer, Have it to run for 2 minutes every 2 hours from Noon (lights on) until 10PM (lights out at midnight) Ill adjust the length of watering or frequency as required.

teabee Just showing early signs of flowering as of July 31, they grew a lot the past week, definitely into their stretch.

teabee Everything looking good so far, they stretched quite a bit already. Been about 2 weeks since 12/12 one week since I considered flowering. I am going to defoliate again in a few days before I have to leave them alone for a few days/week. So it'll be about 2.5-3 weeks from 12/12 when I do another defoliation. They seem to be drinking more, I added 2 more minutes run time to my watering schedule for next week so it works out to be 7.5 liters a plant instead of 6.5. I'll keep adjusting as needed. Haven't really got run off this past week

teabee Growing well, I did a major defoliation just shy of 3 weeks from 12/12 switch. pictures are from before and after it, Did it over a 3 day period.

teabee So far so good, Ive been Ph'ing the res to 6.0-6.2 and letting it run low, the ph has been lowering to about 5.6 over the few days/week before i top up res again to 6.0-6.2, A lot of grows i would get what i believe to be calcium issues showing around week 3-5 in flowering, I also usually stuck with right around 5.8ph the entire grow. This grow everything has been looking great other than a tiny bit of light burn, but the lights have been risen since than. Plants have been flowering for 3 weeks and 2 days in photos, 4 weeks and 2 days since 12/12 switch. Humidity has been higher than ideal but its been very humid outside, I don't wanna buy/run a dehumidifier so ill just have to deal with it for now, the issue shouldn't last much longer with temps outside going to be dropping now.

teabee So far so good, changed the fan in the tent, Gotta make a better mount for it before i have it oscillating. Not sure if im gonna get those long dense colas yet or not, Its starting to fill in pretty nice so far tho

teabee Everything looking good so far, was hoping those main colas were gonna be more of a one long thick cola but still looking like it's gonna be a decent yeild, the pistils are starting to change over to orange.

teabee When I swapped out fans I accidentally plugged it into the wrong power bar so it has been turning off with the lights.... humidity has still been high..I found 2 colas on a blue dream with budrot, I cut off the colas effected, fixed the fan so it'll run 24/7 again and hoping I get lucky and they are the only 2 I'll have to throw away. One blue dream is fox tailing...I'm not sure if it's heat/light stress, even the lower colas and ones not directly under the light are. It's only on the one plant, the other blue dream has colas closer to light and aren't fox tailing at all.

teabee Found more mold/budrot, just been cutting off the sections effected. Been 8 weeks flowering, going to be keeping a close eye on trichomes but should be harvesting soon to 2 weeks now max

teabee harvested one blue dream this week, leaving the rest of the plants go one more week. lost a few colas to mold cause the humidity has been high but the rest of the plant seemed good.

teabee harvested the other 3 plants at 11 weeks from 12/12 and 10 weeks of flowering. Have them drying currently, Will update with harvest posts once i have everything in jars and an idea of total yield. The first blue dream was about 5-6oz and thats with chopping off a few colas due to mold.

teabee Overall pretty happy with the grow, had a little mold issues but humidity was way to high for a while.

teabee Nice place over all, been a nice vape so far also, definitely grow this strain out again
