I began growing marajuana at 15, i only ever grew outdoors, with plants that required a full season, this is very new to me, and im blown away at how far things have come, back then all i had was the marajuana grow guide, black gold and my own little notes and creations, i wanted to grow professionally but was told id never see it legalized in my lifetime! I stopped growing at 20 but continued to imbide, after years of being ripped off and smoking dirt weed, ive decided to pick it back up, unable to find good seeds on the street i ordered from a seed bank in sweden, took 5 weeks but they arrived, i purchased 5 of the O.G kush autoflower and 5 white rhino feminized, i only started 3 of the 5 o.g just as a test run, i hope it goes well any advice you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated,

Im really hoping the growth is right on par with where they should be, i ordered off amazon and recieved yesterday a set of stage specific fertilizer/nutrient system by "Big Blooms & Buds" i used the N-P-K 5-4-2 growth stage per the directions i diluted the amount it called for, by less dilution of the directed amount each time , i could slowly introduce this to them in hopes of preventing any form of stress. They remain in my greenhouse with supplemented LCD full spectrum grow lights which run 12 hours a day the plants leaves have this slight upwards point during the day . I also keep 2 fans on high 12 hours as well as 10 open windows in the greenhouse, temps run from 60 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit the lesser being night time temps. I only water when the top inch or 2 of soil is dry and when my plants show a slight droop in there leaves, when i do water everything drains perfectly and im sure to use a very small watering can. I only began using fertilizer when my plants reached 15 days old to which i used "Alaska" brand step one for vegetation, leaf, stem and root, this i also diluted to prevent any burn or shock. I am really dedicated to these girls and hope it pays off in the long run.

So its been roughly 27 to 29 days, each plant seems just a smidge ahead of the other, they remain outside in my greenhouse, we decided to change out the supplemented lighting and add 4 10 watt led full spectrum grow bars with a small 150 watt led full spectrum panal, i keep them rather close so in hopes of avoiding issues i keep a small fan on high aimed at the plants, to keep cool air circulating around them, I have watered in big blooms and buds stage 1 diluted by 1/2 the recommended direction amount twice now, once then 4 days later. Ive noticed significant improvements since the first feeding

Though its not actually 5 weeks, i wanted to post pics and talk a little about the transplanting, though oober stressful!! I believe was totally worth it and had to be done anyway, the plants have stretched and bushed out a lil. I have used the big blooms and buds stage 2 as a foliar spray (crazy diluted) and its noticeable results! Im thinking my 3 girls will be a success! I hope so anyway

You can put garlic in water, but don't boil it, let it sit in the water for 24h and then strain and spray the plant. You can use copper wire all around the pot to prevent slugs and snails from getting there since it reacts with their nervous system and they won't go over it. Or coffee grounds or egg shells or all of the options. You can spray some neem oil dilluted in water too.

Its been just 5 days since my last weekly entry, in those days these chigger lookin and tiny white worms bugs have spread to the others and it looks like i have ants now as well, if i disturb the top soil in the black planter about 2 inches down against the side i maybe find 1 to 3 ants crawling around. Then there are lil tracks and tiny holes of transparency on the leaves, among a few showing actual chunks of leaf chewed n missing, I also noticed some leafs tips look to be singed? And curled down? 2 days ago I attempted a homemade diluted solution of vegetable oil and Dawn to mist the leaves, and i sprinkled lots of cinnamon around the pots along the stand, all along any possible entrance into the greenhouse. But i spotted lil redish orange chigger looking bugs just a day after, i also saw 2 tiny tiny white spiders attempting to drop down from the lighting by web? along with tiny whitish worm looking things and them D*☆khead ants although ive seen a significant amount less of, are still there too! So petrified of losing my girls i waited till early evening and began a overall sanitization of there area and tried to reinforce any ways in, i then slowly and gently rinsed each plant off by hand and mister then i pinched off each damaged leaf then let em chill over night. This morning before light i sprayed them back down with a organic insecticide by "Garden Safe" for indoor outdoor use it kills on contact and has a residual affect, i made sure to avoid directly spraying the forming buds Then i went as far as removing the 1st inch of soil from each pot so this organic insecticide shit doesn't make its way to the roots. So long story short the mood for my week 7 diary contribution is worrisome yet hopeful. Im pissed off with myself because I was so sure id covered all aspects of pest prevention that id been overly lax with leaving the greenhouse door open, leaving organic material on the ground, not immediately sealing off ways bugs are finding ways in, but I hope i caught this early and in time? And i hope what i did to control and get rid of the bugs will work. Its really gonna break my heart to lose any of my girls, any tricks or advice and help anyone has to offer would be awesome! Thanks Guys

Hey Joe, how is it Mate✌️? For sure the weed is different than 20 years ago..🤔😅 Seems that you shouted out to every damn bug at your site..😅 I'm doing my first outdoor grow atm, i planted a punch of companions around my diesel to get food and defence against bugs. Coriander, Dill, Lemon balm... Works well 👍... For this run I would get some yellow stickers and neem oil to get rid of the pests.. Idk if you know that there is a chat room were you can send and receive pm's? Via Android it's the arrow sign on the right corner of the screen. If ya wanna have a chat, shoot sone words and I'll answer when I can.. Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞 Servus OimRausch

Hello. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. I don't really know what to say, other than, "I've been there". Your plants are in shock right now, they need to be nursed back. Do you have rain water? Water twice before half strength food please. Good Luck. Chuck.

Going into week 8 and i dunno if my girls are gonna make it to full maturity? It began with the bugs! I sprayed em with homemade soap spray with full lights, the sun and the greenhouse about 90 degrees! Super huge mistake and i hope i caught on to the severity of the situation i created in time? 2 seem to be growing out if it, like maybe they didnt get the full effect of the spray? But the 1 who was front and center seems it may be beyond repair? I dunno? Like its new growth is mutated? If anyone who mightve seen this kinda reaction and knows how i can treat it, please let me know? Im at a loss, ive searched everything trying to figure out how i can fix this

So week 9 and the singy rusty burning to the leaf edges has ceased! Following a lil advice i tested the p.h i found it ran high, and the pottasium was super low, not to mention a case of thrips, with proper application i seem to have gotten rid of the bugs, fixed ph and applied the nutrients they were lacking, and they immediately began to get better ever since! Fingers crossed they make it 3 more weeks without issues! Whoo hoo

So 11 wks down, hopefully the stunting due to bugs and phytotoxicity didnt completely wreck my end yeild?? Its okay if there a little on the light side, this was to be a sort of reintroduction for me, a opportunity to learn more about the strides that have been made in the Technologies of Cannabis Cultivation in the last 20 years or so This grow introduced me to Autoflowering strains and Stage specific nutrients, how unforgiving autoflowers can be, oh yeah and what fox tailing is and I learned by the time I see a bug its probably to late! Prevention is so so important! Things can go so bad so quickly!!!

Week 12 and the girls seem to be maturing nicely, The plant foxtailing produces new calyxs and hairs like over night! This has to be due to genetics, my other 2 are growing regular buds, but this plants buds are foxtailed from the bottom to the top. I even attempted to move her further from the light but the foxtailing has continued. I hope theyll be ready to harvest maybe in the next week or so?? Im kinda anxious to try these foxtailed buds.
