9/1: Day 1! soaked seeds overnight
9/2: In the dirt they go. Amended Organic Roots potting soil (3 part) with earthworm castings (1 part) and Mr B's Green Trees Growth and Bloom organic amendments (70/30 ~0.35 cup/3gal pot). I made too much soil so Amnesia gets a 5 gal pot. Since I will not transplant the babes, coco/perlite (70/30) is used to buffer between the “hot” soil and the youngsters.
9/5: Out of the ground and looking strong.
May have been a little heavy on the watering for the first week but they are looking pretty good now. I was using a turkey baster and applying 1/2 oz of water everyday. Backed off watering when I noticed some green algae on the perlite and aimed the fans more directly on the plants.
Day 9: Both plants showing second set of leaves coming out. The light will stay at 3ft for a couple more days.
Day 10: Watered at 6.5 pH and mixed top soil over coco around base of plants.
Day 12: Lowered light to 2ft.
Day 13: Watered ~ 800mL- 1000mL each. I must of directed the fan on the plants too much because the white widow was on her side today, hope she pulls through!
Day 18: Watered ~1200mL each. I hope to LST at the end of the week. The Amnesia XXL is the biggest so far.
Day 18: Installed Spider Farmer SF 4000 @ 24 inches and 200W (40%).
Day 21: Leaves look slightly burnt, moved fan to 30 inches.
Day 22: LST’d WW, FB, and AMNESIA and defoliated leaves touching the soil and covering bud sites, The amnesia was also topped. Shout out to @basementganja for the LST tie down technique!
Day 24: Watered 1200mL at 6.5 pH. I also turned up the sf4000 to 295W (60% on the dimmer) 😎. The light is about 30 inches from the plants. Soil will be top dressed before next week’s watering with a 50/50 grow/bloom mix.
Day 28: Top dressed soil (I used 1/4 cup grow and 1/4 cup bloom in each pot) with Mr. B’s Green Trees Organic Amendments and watered 1200mL @ 6.5pH. LST for WW and FB.
Day 29: LST’d Amnesia for the second time and adjusted hooks on Fb and WW, also defoliated all. Plants are starting to show signs of flowering! Adjusting the humidity to 45-50% for this week.
Day 33: Watered ~1200 mL each and added some Mammoth P to help the transition into bloom. Also lollipopped Amnesia, and WW, and continuing to LST all. Looking good though a little smaller than I would have expected them to be at this point. Maybe I have been too hard on the training. Hope they respond to the watering.
Day 34: All plants showing flowers at this point! Lolipopped WW, adjusted LST hooks on all, and defoliated FB. Ready for the stretch!!
Day 36: Defoliated a bunch of leaves and lower bud sites from the WW and FB. I may have gotten carried away but have a feeling after their drink tomorrow it’s gonna be poppin! Amnesia is next on the chopping block, maybe. Stay tuned.
Day 37: Watered each about 1200mL at 6.5 PH. Lollipopped Amnesia today, I’m probably done taking leaves off for a bit. I will continue to move LST hooks to maintain an even canopy and expose bud sites.
Day 39: Lowered light to 24” (It was at 28” prior to moving). The SF 4000 is still set to 60% on the dimmer, mine pulls 295W at this setting. Both WW and FB seem a little stunted from the massive leave removal but are still looking healthy, FB is “reaching” for the light the most. I used a clip to tie down the FB main cola to expose lower bud sites. Amnesia was the biggest to begin with and she is taking off! She got the lightest defoliation compared to the other two. I will practice this lighter defoliation on future autoflowers, lesson learned.
Day 40: Watered WW and FB 1500mL @ 6.5 pH
Day 42: It’s starting to smell stronger inside the tent! Watered Amnesia 1700mL at 6.5 pH + a few drops of mammoth p. Amnesia needs a little LST to even out the canopy, the other two will also get some adjustments throughout the week.
Day 43: LST adjustments for all, Amnesia got some leaves removed also.
Day 45: Top dressed soil with ~0.4 cup of Mr. B’s Green Trees Bloom mix, a handful of earthworm castings, and a couple handfuls of coco and perlite. Light defoliation on Amnesia. Watered FB and WW 1800mL at 6.5 pH. Watered Amnesia 2000mL at 6.5 pH.
Day 46: Tied down main cola on FB and WW to even the canopy.
Day 48: All looking good! WW still seems to be a tad behind the other two. On to week 8!
Day 49: Defoliated Amnesia and adjusted LST hooks on all. The WW looks stunted still, her new leaves are growing curled and the buds are still slim and stringy. I will check runoff water and see if there was a pH swing after amending the soil.
Day 50: Watered FB and WW 1500mL at 6.5 pH. The runoff of the WW was 5.7 pH, I think the stunted growth and curled leaves may be due to this acidic soil. Next time I water her I will aim for 6.8 pH. Watered Amnesia 200mL at 6.6 pH.
Day 52: Both WW and Amnesia look a bit shocked and maybe overwatered (droppy/skinny/twisting new leaves). I
will dial back the amount of water each gets for the next watering. I could also be paranoid about my baby girls...
Day 53: Defoliated all. FB is starting to smell nice and fruity, yummy!
Day 54: Watered WW ~1200mL @ 6.6 pH. Also did more LST on WW. She has grown quite a bit and looks as if she has recovered from last week. Still some twisting leaves but new growth looks good.
Day 56: Plants look good but I’m having problems with low humidity. I changed my humidifier and the new one couldn't keep the room over 35%. The humidity has been hovering from 30-35% for the last 4 days. I moved the old setup back in and everything is under control and staying at 40-45%.
Day 57: Watered Amnesia 1700 mL and FB 1200 mL at 6.7 pH + calmag (1mL/1L) and mammoth P. I've noticed some brown spot on Amnesia's leaves, looks like pictures of calcium deficiency online so I added the calmag to this week's water. I also snapped a bigger branch on the WW while adjusting the LST hooks. The branch didn't break completely off so I adjusted the hook to hold it in place.
Day 59: Watered WW 1500mL @ 6.5 pH + 1.5 mL calmag.
Day 60: Watered FB 1500mL @ 6.5 pH + 1.5 mL calmag. Based on advice from my grow question I redirected the fans in the tent. I hope this solves the problem.
Day 61: Top dressed Amnesia 0.25 cup of Mr B’s bloom 2-8-6 + 0.25 cup earthworm castings and watered 2000 mL at 6.5 pH w/2mL calmag. Turned up the SF4000 to 70% on the dimmer 😎.
Day 62: Top dressed WW with 0.25 cup Mr. B’s Bloom 2-8-6 + 0.25 cup earthworm casting and watered 2000mL. I would have only watered 1500mL but realized after watering that I never pH’ed the water. I then added another 500mL of water at 6.3 pH in hopes that it evens out. I believe the bloom mix I topped dressed with is on the acidic side so fingers crossed everything works out. WW sure has been through the ringer. Living and learning, what it’s all about!
Week 10 here we come.
Day 63: Top dressed FB with 0.25 cup Mr. B’s 2-8-6 and 0.25 cup earthworm castings and watered 1700 mL +2 ml calmag and a few drops of mammoth P. Looks like tips of new leaves on FB are starting to turn purple. WW still behind both plants in the flower stage and has no smell. Both amnesia and FB have a nice fruity smell. Amnesia smells like juicy fruit chewing gum.
Day 64: Watered Amnesia 1800 mL @ 6.5 pH + 2 mL calmag. She is still developing more brown spots but growing fine. Defoliated WW and FB.
Day 65: Defoliated Amnesia
Day 66: Watered WW about 3000 mL @ 6.5 pH. I haven't been watering to the point of runoff until this point. I believe salt build up may be the culprit of the new brown spots on Amnesia and now some are showing on the FB. Buds are looking good. WW is finally starting to produce some trichomes and developing a smell. Amnesia is getting really frosty ❄️❄️❄️.
Day 68: Watered Amnesia 4000mL @ 6.5 pH + 4.5 mL of calmag + few drops of mammoth p. Colors are changing on Amnesia and FB, should look like autumn colors in the next couple days 🍁🍁. I’m excited!
Day 69: Watered FB 2000 mL @ 6.5 pH + 2 mL calmag.
Day 70: Defoliation for amnesia and WW. Raised light to 24” in hopes that the WW burnt tips could be light damage.
Day 71 : Watered WW 2000mL at 6.5 pH. Probably should have flushed her but will do that next watering.
Day 73: Watered FB and Amnesia ~3500 mL @ 6.5 pH. FB is really popping off with the colors, really cool to see! The tent smells amazing also!
How much longer do you think? First picture with no purple is Amnesia. Second picture with purple is FB. Thanks so much for the input and stopping by. Happy growing.
24-42 days. That's when I believe you'll be in your harvest window. Amnesia usually goes around 12 weeks into flowering so I would guess the later side of this estimate.
Whats wrong with these leaves? I rotated the plant because these leaves were under the strongest part of the light. I also raised the light. Thanks for the help!
Judging from the burnt tips of the leaf and discolouration I would say that’s over feeding with the nutrients.
Also looks like the leaves look a little prickly and almost turning up so could be a slight heat problem starting although I see your temp is about 26 which should be ok. If you have not already try and have a fan blowing in between the light and plants etc.
I have also seen the leaves almost mimic slight heat stress from going too high with the EC/ppms.
My first move would be to drop the feed strength and also try and drop the temp a touch to rule that out too.
Hope that helps pal👍
Day 77: This may be the last week for FB and Amnesia. Amnesia’s fan leaves are not looking the greatest but the buds are looking bomb so I’m just gonna let it ride out. It is my first time working with dry amendments and I think I got a little carried away and used too much.
Day 78: Couldn't stand looking at the brown leaves on Amnesia so I defoliated her and WW.
Day 80: Top dressed WW ~1/8 cup Mr. B’s Green Trees Bloom and watered 2500mL @ 6.5 pH. Last feeding for her until the chop.
Day 81: Watered Amnesia and FB ~2000mL @ 6.5 pH + 4 mL flawless finish. They have about a week left.
Day 82: FB has nannners and is coming down today.
She grew short and not too much of a yield and was way smaller than the other time I grew this strain. I would say this time though the buds are more dense and look waaay more dank 😍. I also found one seed when trimming, she lives on! This was the last seed of FB I had ordered so I’m def gonna grow it. I will update when everything is weighed and cured. Thanks for stopping by!
Sorry for lack of updates this week. Just smooth sailing, watering when dry
Day 108: About 10-15% amber trichomes.
Day 109: Last day of light. Tomorrow will be the start of 48 hrs of darkness. I decided not to flush either plant this time. WW really blew up this last week!
She was a little finicky for a couple weeks. Still not sure if that was due to over feeding or heat/light stress. either way, she pulled through in the last few weeks and really packed on the weight. Nice, classic Inidica diesel smell with a fruity finish. Will cure for a couple months and will report back with a smoke report.
