I germinated the seeds which took two days. Used soil made for starting plants. The planted in seedling smaller pot that decomposes so when transplant easier. Day 5 moved to larger 12 gallon pots used Mother earth terracraft potting soil. Messed up was using wrong setting on light only had veg and needed both. Plants look fine but seemed to be growing slowly. Switch light and can already see difference. Hopefully things go well!!!!
Plants seem to being doing well more leafs growing. Just using water still will start adding nutrients next week. End of third week everything looking healthy and doing well. Can see growth daily getting exciting.
7/27 Started new week and plants looking great. Topped 4 of the five plants.
7/28 Starting using nutrients, using bat guano all organic. Only a day after topping can already see new top cola growth happening.
7/30 Did my first plant listing. Used wire to pull down some of the bud site and spread them out to increase yield. I keep researching and trying these technique and seem to be working. techniques. I also changed layout a little and made little cleaner grow room. Next going to try the sorg net.
7/31. Did more listing can't see results in hours. Plants growing strong and don't see and issues yet.
8/2. All the bud sites are growing nice with the listing.
I will take. Major defoliation twice. Once before the 12/12 flip and another in the third week of flower. Untill those times I only remove large fans that cover bud sites. 👊😉
8/4 the plants are looking great. Was able to use listing and get bunch on bud site to come out. No discoloration. Things going well. Might need flipped soon.
8/6 the second topped plant looking good. Did some defoliation. Think going to flip soon. They looking good with a nice top canopy forming, have lot of bud site at close the same height.
8/8 plants look great and ready to switch to flower. Did some more defoliation to get ready for flower. Setup scrog net and seems to be filling up nice. Going to do 36 hours of darkness to quicken the flower process (or so I read). Excited to start flowering.
Hey Growmie,
12-14 inches . You want plant to grow outwards and fill the screen, so growing it tall has no benefit.
Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
The space I am growing in has a max of 35 in that the plant can grow before get to close to the light. My plants are currently at 10 inches. When should I flip to flower?
If your strain is sativa dominant, it could triple in size so now would be the time. If it is an indica heavy strain, flip at around 15 inches as indicas tend to double in size. This will give you a lot of flexibility if they grow more than expected. Cheers!
8/8 flipped plants. Keep room dark 36 hours to make flowering process start faster.
8/10 plants on 12/12 light cycle now. Switch to the seagull guano which potassium rich. Plants look great no issues. Can see hair on some of the plants already. Can wait to watch the buds grow!!!
8/11 Everything seems to be going well. Getting smelly
8/13. Some browness on the tips of some leaves. Going to start checking pH levels on water and hold back on nurtriets for few days.
8/14 the brown tip seem to have stopped and looks like went into on some of the plants. Did little more defloation. Anything growing below the screen I removed. Researching they say should help make main colas bigger and better. I wish it was 4 weeks into the future lol.
8/15 Added some new nutrients frog grow to help with magnesium and calcium. Plants good and strong did some training to get nice canopy and it's fairly even. It is amazing how strong this plant is I can do anything and few hour later pops back. I have plant on the that isn't getting much light but still growing. Tried some advance supercropping this morning and plant already looking better.
8/17 everything going well. Have nice canopy. They plants are also stretching a lot. Got a pH soil tester and also test moisture so now when to water. Also got pH water tester.
8/20. Buds starting to form on every plant but one. Found my PH of soil is high so trying to bring it down.
8/23 last day of week 7. I think everything going well. They have stretched about 5 inches. I have been listing few and moving around scrog and grow out. No discoloration or any real issues. Well see how goes. I not sure if did to much defloation.
From looking at my picture does it look like I have defloated to much. I did clear anything below net cause looking for those big colas. Does my plant look to be on right track? Should I stop or continue defloating? If yes in what week of flowering should I stop
I wouldnt say you did too much at all. Looks good to me. I stripped up to 4-5 nodes this past grow and seen much improvement. With the lights I was running though i found the nodes at 5 from the top (post stretch) really werent worth my time. In the future i will lollipop up to 3 nodes remaining on smaller branches and 4 on all main stem colas for fat nugs. I personally hate trimming the larf yet havent invested in any kind of bowl or dry trimmer yet but love the tight manicured fat colas. Just look awesome. Looking good to me sir! I wouldnt strip nodes or tops after 3rd week of flower when the stretch is done. You can selectively defoliate fans that are blocking light to bud sites but beyond that I would let them be. My 2c. GL with the grow! Will be following
Start of week 8 they still stretching up to 18 in getting big and worrying about space. Thought four plants would be fine but growing so nice but will see, first grow so learning lots. Two plants look fat and bushy and two more taller. Added happy frog top dressing and then use tiger bloom. My thinking is tiger bloom will give it nutrients now and happy frog over time. Will see if works. Made a home made CO2 with yeast, suger and water, see if helps.
9/2 been feeding little tiger bloom and plants looking good. Still not showing any defecencies as far as I can tell. Three are nice and bushy but one is tall like too tall. Tried supercropping and looks like it's went well, it was like 4 inches taller than all other plants was worried about light burn and didn't want to raise light so felt was only option.
9/5. End week 4 of flower and everything seems to be looking nice. Buds getting bigger and cake in frost already.
5th week of flower everything still looking good. Nugs getting bigger.
9/8 Middle of week 5 some of the buds are starting to flower and just thc everywhere. Will have plenty of trimmings for concentrates. Still wondering about the yield??? But see a little burn on edges of leaves. Probably go water only anyway cause still have organic toil soils working. Smells so good!!
Last day of week 5 looks amazing so much THC everywhere. Looking forward to them fattening up in next week or two.
Day 67 buds getting bigger and bigger. One plants is definitely can see nugs swelling and other starting to also. Prob has another two weeks I like a couch like high so wanna harvest little later.but have my jeweler loop to check teicroms. The smell is crazy a sweet and skunky smell.when you touch the nugs smell fruity sweet aroma.
Day 71 end of week 6. Everything seems to be going well. I know one plants will be ready before others just when is the questions. Got some good answers on grow questions so thinking at least a week. But I will keep checking trichromes. The look kind milky but not Ambers yet. Going to start flushing here on out.
First off it looks amazing, but it does still have some time to go, still seeing quite a few white pistils, you want to wait until those have all changed and when the trichomes are all milky/cloudy this is when the THC is the highest. As far as agues on the yield I could see close to 2 oz. dry coming off her. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
Hey Growmie,
First, off nice looking plant and the best view to tell is picture one, it shows that the trichomes are at the stage where they are turning from clear to milky, So I would say harvest is around the corner. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
Week 7 flowering. Nugs looking so pretty and getting fatter everyday. Smell is amazing. I am working from home and my office like right next to grow room and smells so nice. Have to stop myself for looking to much during work lol. Never thought this could happen. I think going to give them full 8 weeks. I like the couch lock high so think that be perfect window. Also to give more time for weight. I am staying strong and holding out to harvest and can see the results. The are caked too.
In last two weeks of flowering and been seeing info on light spectrums. I have a led with veg and bloom switchs. So to mimic sunset I turn on on bloom only for 1 hour before lights off. What you think good idea or bad?
It's a bad idea because it doesnt simulate the emerson effect at all, not even close, you'll need much more sophisticated rigs. The best you can do is keep the bloom spectrum on . Next lights you buy try to get the white LEDs with infrared bars, even there you cant really do the emerson effect, but it's better than blurple. You have the right idea but you're missing 20 thousand dollars worth of equipment , so it's not your fault. Hope this helps ! 🚀
First day of week 8 flowering day 79. It has been a great and hard week. The nugs keep getting fatter and just beautiful. Have some really nice colas forming. Some of the flower so heavy have to hold up by strings. I am glad I have waited this long the front two plants look close to being down but checked trichromes and still not many ambers. The back two plants I can tell need little longer to fill out the pistils still sticking out. Been flushing for 5 days now.l figure harvest by next weekend at lastest.
Day 82 they are looking ready going to harvest this weekend. See little ember and all milky. Going to harvest two plant tomorrow and then give the two in back a little more time don't look ready yet. Took few nugs off and dried and smoke little and it's fire can't wait to try it when properly cured.
The nugs have some many trichromes and when grinds so much keef. Ended up with 6 ounces. I was hopping for more but the bud is amazing. I read online that my light has higher blue than red and that blue is better for terpines but the yeild is lower. Got a nug smasher and getting 30 percent yield back. Overall great experience already starting next grow and will be posting soon.
