I soaked the seeds in water for 24 hours I didn’t use the paper towel method I just went straight into the fox farms ocean forest soil. The seeds popped out of the soil really quick I was super happy I know that’s kind of an old-school technique and people don’t like it but that’s kind of just the way I like to do it. Being in the oceans forest I won’t feed them for the first couple weeks until they start to get their legs but as of right now they look like they’re off to a healthy start

This is just at the end of the first week have just been running PH to water in the fox farms ocean forest soil still not using any nutrients at this point. The tent is running at a good consistent environment I’m pretty happy with everything so far.

So I was a little late to post this is the end of week to start of week three they have really blown up. The last watering I introduced a small run of Cal mag some veg nutrients and they seem to really respond. They are keeping a nice squatty stature and starting to Bush up good. I’m going to keep them on a water wait 48 hours feed wait 48 hours water and keep that alternation up for the next week or so. I want to slowly start to up the nutrients and of course start to introduce bloom nutrients over the next week and a half to two weeks. I think we will start some low stress training here soon as well once they get just a bit taller. Just edited this post the plants are getting to the end of the week three now really really growing good went ahead and up the nutrients and added a few things started a small amount terpinator They seem to really be loving the amounts I’m giving them so far like I said this is my first auto grow and I haven’t done much LST but I think we’re getting close to that time. Started lst and the plants are really responding to it and bushing our good lots of new tops shooting up looking like I am going to get a nice canopy. Things are moving fast at this point.

Week four is kicking off good!! Lst and defoliation are working great ready to start the stretch! One plant is showing signs of pre flower. So we will see 🤷‍♂️🏻 Upped the nutrients this week plants are drying out about every 36 hrs. I’m oh watering feeding and ph watering alternating right now and they seem to love it I’m going to start adding some fox farms soluables here shortly. I’ll update this week in a few peace! So an update it’s day 28 all are in pre flower and start of flower switched to the hps light still alternating feeding and watering about every two n half days. Started using open sesame on the last feeding will use it one more time and switch to beastie bloomz. Stay safe everyone!

Quick update its dat 31 32-ish these things are really getting big the LST worked great some of them are kind of thin in the middle but got lots of tops nice bushes the OG Kush just looks killer has a kind of open spread out look I love it it’s going to produce some big buds I can tell! It’s the end of the week I Defoliated again and tied a few more branches down one of the jacks still has a pretty low center but it’s starting to catch up all the plants seem to really be loving the feeling and are starting to really stack up the buds The next few weeks should be fun!

When I test my soil one of the four plants is a little closer to seven every time the others test at a perfect 65 should I worry about this much?? I personally don’t think it’s a big deal I just want everyone’s opinion any input would be great.

So if you are experiencing problems... Maybe look into your ph.. But if aint broke.. don't fix it.. You may create more problems then you solve.. Ie. Loading your soil up with Buffers that throw off the intake of your plants.

Everything looks good I haven’t had any or seen any issues and I an keeping a good eye on ph while feeding/watering etc. it’s only in one of the four plants I have going and it is a different strain so I have mentally chalked it up to that haha... I appreciate the input!

Well I’m pretty excited about this being my first auto grow. These things are really doing awesome I’m pretty impressed I don’t have any experience with them but I feel like they’re all pretty big for their size all of them are really starting to stack up bud. One of the jacks seems to be a few days behind the others in the flowering process. The jacks are both a lot Bashir and flatter the bubblegum and OG a really stretching out nice I love that shape of plant. Soil pH and everything keeps testing good no big issue so far I think one of the plants may have had some small nutrient lockout last week but I flushed it out good. I’ll update this week again soon or maybe not I don’t know thanks for stopping bye be safe ✌️.

All the plants are still doing good really starting to stack on buds the OG and bubblegum really looking nice stretching out and filling in the bud. The jacks were a little behind in flowering but really taking off now I had to cut off like a Walmart sack full leaves the other day they are really bushy. All the buds and leaves are starting to load up with crystals and sugar and the smell of the tent is awesome I’m starting to really get excited. Cut back on the Cal mag and the grow big this week to lower the nitrogen I had a little bit of a surplus of my soil samples and they were just getting to Bushy in general so I figured it wouldn’t hurt. Stay safe and thanks for stopping by ✌️

The ladies are Still doing really well. All are really starting to fatten up the bud. Really cut the veg nutrients back this week and up my beastie bloomz plant seem to be handling it really well the beastie bloomz is working awesome. As soon as you open up the doors to the tent you get hit in the face with the sweet smell of the bubblegum plant it’s really pungent right now. The OG Kush is kind of the opposite it has that kind of earthy gas smell to it but the buds are getting this really nice dark color to them and they’re beautiful. Add a few pistols on the bubble gum start to turn brown but they’re already shooting their ones out I think I’ve got at least another 3-4 weeks on the bubble gum and OG And probably a week longer than that on the jacks but who knows. Doing this update on day 52. The plants are drinking about 2 gallons of water every two days I am feeding every other watering I am using 2 teaspoons of grow big 5 teaspoons of big Bloom, four teaspoons of Tiger bloom, 6 teaspoons of terpinator, and 1/2 teaspoon of Beastie Bloomz each plant getting about a half gallon of water per plant this is giving me good runoff and good results so far

This is day 61 and everything is still on track. I’m really impressed with the swell of the buds the last week n half the bestie bloomz really seemed to do the trick. Switched to cha Ching this weekend. Lots of pistols browning and curling but buds keep shooting new ones and thickening up daily. All the trichs are still really clear so still a few weeks out I’d say. But keeping a close eye on them. Not really doing anymore lst or defoliation at this point I am going to have to tie up the OG kush tops tho the buds are just getting to heavy 😊😊. The smells are off the chart! The bubblegum smells so sweet and fruity the og has that nice bitter gas smell and the jack here smells well kinda like licorice it’s an interesting but good smell! Can wait to finish these girls off! Thanks anyone for stopping by!

Still just stacking on weight this week the jacks are really starting to catch up now. I will probably start flushing the bubblegum end of next week she is starting to get close. All the others still need some more time. I had to tie up the og kush branches the buds are just way to heavy. All smell so good and getting better daily. Getting excited to reap the rewards soon!

So we’re getting really close to the end of this journey I am going to harvest the bubblegum plant probably end of this weekend first of the coming week trichrome‘s all look really good and she’s just ready to come down all the buds are really fat super happy with that plant! The Jacks are pretty bushy and huge and Have been stacking on bud I’m excited to see the yield off of these they’re getting really close as well but would like to try to push them another week and a half I want to feed one more time and then start to flush. The OG Kush seems to kind of stalled a little the last week still has tons of white pistols and the budz are huge like I said last week I had to tie all the stocks up because they were folding over. I gave her a good flush at the beginning of the week and skip the feeding so I’m hoping maybe it just had a little bit a lock out or something and get back on track just haven’t seen much of a change in her. Hopefully next week I’ll have some harvest pictures of the bubblegum thanks for stopping by! stay safe!

Hey! You can't really do much else here. Those white pistils look like it's new growth on top of the buds. This could be from stress. If you notice theres more and more white pistils coming up then you'll have to make a decision to harvest or keep waiting.. I would wait a bit more and examine her daily to see if more white pistils come out.. Harvest window opens when you start getting amber pistils(hairs). Normally when there's 70% amber and 30% white pistils they're ready to start flushing but that's not always the case. The best way to check is looking at the trichomes with a 60x magnifying loupe. Clear trichomes haven't reached their full potency, cloudy ones are full of THC and amber are losing THC while gaining CBN. So depending on your preference whether you want more of a head high or body high. I normally start to look at trichomes when there are about 50/50% white and amber pistils. I harvest when after examining and finding 70% cloudy trichomes and 30% amber trichomes. For me that's a prefect combination, depending on the strain as well. Have in mind if you use nutrients you'll need to flush the roots, watering only with PHed water or a flushing product for at least a week. As for the difference between CLOUDY or CLEAR.. Clear trichomes look like shiny glass while cloudy ones look like more like plastic. Good luck and Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

It hasn't stalled. Hang in there. Dosing with carbs can give a boost and you can flush while doing so. You don't have to wait for amber trichomes if you don't want to. I need to be awake and alert and not lethargic, so I harvest at peak milky trichomes. Amber is way overrated to me. At the absolute most, I'd allow not more than 10% amber, but I shoot for almost zero.

The two jacks and the og are still cooking along one jack is close the other is still got really clear trichs. The jacks look awesome really have those fall vibes reall pretty. I’m flushing all three at this point and everything looks good! The og was a pain last week but seems to have snapped out of it. Hopefully they will all join the bubblegum hanging soon! Stay safe and thanks for Coming by ! Went ahead and fed the big Jack again the trichromes were clear enough still it has a good week plus. The og and the smaller jack are both within a week mostly cloudy trichs just flushing and letting them fatten up as much as I can going to push them as long as possible. I also cut the light back a little bit week giving them eight hours of darkness seems to really be helping with the frost production!

This is the first jack herer to come Down. Buds are dense and have a really fruity smell almost a root beer Smell as well. I was really happy with this strain it was by far the strongest of th three I grew this run. Both plants were twice the size of the og kush and bubblegum. This was the smaller of the two but was full of bud!
