First Grow from local dispensary clones

Transplanted clones from Harvest Health into 1 gallon pots. One clone labeled HULK, the other BCG. I asked for indica so I guess we’ll see, lol. Light cycle 18on/6off. all of these pics were on an online album, so i'm gonna have to do my best to recover them topped both plants, hoping to do LST and train them both outwards when they reach the mesh netting.

repotted from 1 gal to 3 gal cloth pots. in 2 weeks or so i want to repot into 7 gallon. it is running at around 85 degrees with the lights on at the plants’ base and low 70’s with the lights off.

the girls are pretty much up to where i want to set the screen, so i went ahead and trimmed off some lower branches hoping to get them to dedicate more energy higher up the plants. probably need to water them tomorrow or day after, 4 or 5 days after a fresh transplant sounds about right, roots gotta establish and such before it can utilize the water as quickly as it did in smaller pot. GROW FASTER!!! I took this picture of growth. The humidity was still super low at all this point and I’m noticing it was a theme in pics throughout this grow.

lost power for a few hours while i was out of town over last weekend. i came home to the light on when they should have been off. i just left them on during the plant’s normal night time so they’d get more light rather than less. figure too much light won’t hurt a vegetating plant. i also pruned / defoliated some lower branches and am tying some of the branches of the BCG off to the sides of the pot hoping to better utilize the light and start training a bit better. i think i’ve learned a lot about training for next time, i want to utilize more LST from clone to start it spreading out. i feel like i’m behind on spread and should be ahead if i did more training. my water is basic af, like 8.6 (uncalibrated, but stil). you can just use vinegar, i’m gonna see what amount it takes to get a whole bottle (4L / 1Gal) down to between 6 and 7 1Tbsp - 5.49. this was way too much, lol. small t time 1tsp - 6.71. this is pretty much right on point. Winner says it doesn’t matter but I may just keep tossing a tsp into my water, can’t hurt i suppose? unless it does, lol. checked the water ph of the gallon i made yesterday and it’s still right in line, ~6.5. I saw on my Sohum bag that “For best results use water with pH between 6 and 7.” I checked my soil pH at root level: Hulk: 8.26 BCG: 7.7 I think that using pH balanced water should get these down to where i’d rather see them, between 6 and 7. Unsure if this will help my issues with nutrient uptake, i think it is, causing a bit of leaf yellowing. I think they’ll be ready for more water tomorrow when I get back from out of town, so i’ll be starting watering with pH corrected water then

i repotted to 7 gal pots today. i checked Hulk’s soil ph and it was down to 7.6. i am going to keep pH’ing my water and i’ll check in another week or so. they are just _drinking_ water, i am trying to give them a good soaking to make sure they fill out into the new soil and they’ve already drank 8 gallons total. i let the soil settle a bit more and it checked at 7.25. much better, still gonna keep pH’ing and check in a few days / week i also will note here that i only had to use one bag of Sohum for this whole grow. it did fill up both of the 7 gallon pots completely, but it got ‘er done. I also decided at this point that I wanted to go perpetual with it, and got a 4x4 mars hydro tent and a ts3000 to flower these girls under.

today was an exciting day, i finished setting up the new 4x4 Marshydro grow tent. i decided after i was done that it would be a shame not to put it to use so i went ahead and moved the girls over to it. i’m pretty proud of the fan situation, it should save me some space though i don’t need it so much for this grow, it should help for the next. i hope the bigger light will speed it up, and my seeds should arrive tomorrow so i can start my veg room right away so they’ll have plenty of time to grow up and give me clones in case i find a pheno i want. exciting times! oh, also my girls showed sex! girls all about, as expected with clones from the dispensary, but still nice to see and a pretty picture for my grow log.
