My grow info is going to have the dates next to pic because I'm logging all my progress from the very beginning and the steps of germination but it will be logged in the Veg stage of grow.
* 9/9 I put 3 Orange Cookies, 2 Dream Cookies and 3 Misc seeds in shot glasses with 3ml of peroxide.
6:15PM started seed germination process. *No more than 24 hours in shot glass.
* 9/10 I moved seeds from glasses and set in paper towel in between 2 plates and and wet with Reverse Osmosis water and set in dark warm cabinet 2:30pm
*9/11(9:30PM) I put the seeds in jiffy pellets and set in propagation dome under 600 watt light about 3 feet away but turned ballast all the way down to minimize light output. (ballast 400 watt setting)
*9/14(9:30PM) I forgot and didn't take a pic yesterday but this is a good start so far. All but 1 has broke free from seed and has developed cotyledon leaves(yesterday they broke through). They're on their way to a healthy life cycle.
When I take my pics, the green background is because I take the picture before the lights turn on in morning. Best time to water is in morning. Ill be moving to bigger pots (5gallon) in a few more days. Still just using Reverse Osmosis Water and letting it sit out to acclimate to room temp before I water. I've been using a spray bottle to water plants and Ill spray undersides of leaves twice a week.
*10/5/20 Im going to experiment with one plant to see how bending, trimming and other techniques can work. The 5 gallon pots are on rollers with a water catcher sitting on the floor with light about 34 inches away.
*TOPPED PLANTS*
*10/11/20 Plants are all in 5 gallon pots and and set on rollers to help move plants a quarter turn everyday. I took 1 Dream Cookie plant and trimmed most the leaves off and I'm going to try some bending techniques after it shows signs of growth.
*I also think that one of my Misc strains is a male
*10/19/20
-Photos are from 10/18/20 and I had to throw one Misc strain because it was a male
-I started using my watering barrel system and everything is working with no leaks. I mixed my nutrient solution before I pour in the watering barrel to make watering plants easier as they get bigger. I may have to get a measuring cup to see exactly how much water they are consuming. Soil is drying out good between watering's.
*10/23/20
I mixed some Bloom Khaos up as a foliar spray in a pump action spray bottle (1/8 tsp in 32 fluid oz. of RO water) I used half the solution now and Ill wait 5 more days to apply the rest. (twice week)
7:00AM sprayed tops and bottom of leaves before lights turn on at 8:00AM
2:00PM Sprayed plant leaves tops and bottoms with regular water to wash away any residue that may be left behind from foliar spray
(Normally I would wait until lights get ready to turn off/on before I would spray leaves)
*10/27/20
Plants are looking good. I add my nutrients to 1 gallon of Reverse Osmosis Water at room temp. Mix well, 6.4 PH water and I set in my watering barrel for watering.
*11/1/20 Ill take better Pics next time. These are foggy
*So far everything has been looking good. The temps outside are dropping below 40*F at night so the space heater kicks on at night to keep the room 70*F.
*Ill drop the humidity levels by 5% or 10% in the next few days to 45% RH.
*I was defoliating (small amount, mostly bottom of plant near the soil area) I decided to start a clone from the Misc Strain that is showing signs of wanting to flower. I set clipping in container with water to see how long it will last.
* When I water the plants now that they are consuming more water, I will add 3 gallons of water to barrel with nutrients.
*I have doubled the nutrients and added to 3 gallons of room temp RO water with a PH of 6.3. I evenly water plants soil around the outer rim of the flower pots to promote roots to stretch out from base of plant.
*11-5-2020
-I decide to defoliate my plants some to create more light for the bottom branches and because I'm getting close to flowering so I don't want to stress plants to much before I flip them to 12/12.
-I decided to keep a clipping and start a clone for the hell of it. Its a Misc Strain I gathered from some dank.
*11-6-2020
-I mix my nutrients with 1 gallon of RO water the day before I water plants. I pour the nutrients in the watering barrel and I added 2 more gallons of RO water to dilute the nutrient solution. I turn on my pump in the barrel to keep the nutrients mixing so when I'm ready to water the next day the nutrients are mixed up really well.
*11-7-2020
-I water my plants this morning before lights come on and the room modifications I added before the grow started, has eliminated any light breaching. Room is nice and cool when lights are off (no lower than 68*F at night)
*11/10/20
- Decided to take more leaves off plants before I go into 12/12. I want to minimize on the trimming when its time (harvest time) and hope to promote bigger growth in the higher areas of the plants.
- I'm happy with room temps, air flow and humidity
- Getting closer to flowering so I'm getting my CO2 tank setup ready. (need to fill tank)
*11/11/20
- I mixed up nutrients in the 1 gallon of RO water and poured in watering barrel. I added 2.5 more gallons of RO water and set my pump to circulate water all night until I water in the morning before lights turn on.
- I'm getting my dehumidifier cleaned up and ready to use when needed since I need to lower humidity levels in flowering stage.
**Thanks for the likes everyone. I've tried to like the comments but I haven't received email confirmation to do so.😫hahaha😁 far greater tragedies in life, ill survive. 😂
*11/14/20
- I put babies into flowering. I changed light bulb and gave 36 hours of total darkness and lights will turn on at 8:00AM and turnoff at 8:00PM.
*11/19/20
- I emptied watering barrel, cleaned and disinfected. I also cleaned out the pump and the hoses to make sure everything stays clean . Let everything air dry.
*11/20/20
- I mixed nutrients to 3 gallons of RO water and PH to 6.4
- I've been watering every 2-3 days and try not to bother the room to much.
*11/23/20
- I was flushing the plants and taking a closer look at everything and noticed one of the Dream Cookies Strain was developing ball sacks. This is a female plant garden only so I had to toss it as much as I didn't want to.
- FLUSH *3 gallons of RO water*
60ml Aphrodite's Extraction
105ml Herculean Harvest
Added PH UP
6.4 pH
*11/30/20
-Watered plants as normal, except the Misc Strain. (7:00AM) . I used about 3 gallons of RO water with the 1 gallon mixture of nutrients in barrel. Going to adjust nutrients for the flowering stage some more on next watering.
*12/ 01/20
- Did a slurry test on Misc Strain, PH levels low. 5.7
- The Misc Strain is showing signs of Manganese deficiency. I did a flush with 35ml Herculean Harvest and 20ml Aphrodite's Extraction (light color water), PH to 6.4 with 2 gallons of RO water seem to be enough water to flush out any salt build up (Drainage water was dark)
- Room has a good smell to it. Nothing strong...yet.😤😄
*12/07/20 (7:15AM watering, lights turn on at 8:00AM)
- I have been tripling my nutrient mix across the board and adding 4 more gallons of RO water to watering barrel. Some nutrients I'm adding more because of the flowering stage needs more Phosphorus and Potassium.
- I added some steeped banana juice I made from scratch (real bananas) to the Misc Strain because of the potassium deficiency. I poured the water with chopped up peels and buried about 2 inches in soil around the edge of the flower pot. I chopped up the banana peel into small pieces and set in boiling water. I let the water set for a week and stirred daily before I used it.
*12/11/20 (7:20AM watering)
- I am noticing the Misc Strain has improved since I added more potassium. I'm keeping an eye on the soil to make sure the peels wont start a mold problem so I aerate the soil every 2 days or so.
*12/15/20 (7:00AM watering)
- Increased a few more nutrients
- I adjusted my fans angle so it doesn't blow so hard on the plants closest to it and it seems to move air around room better and I have no dead air spots. Ill try this out for a week.
*12/20/20
- I was working in the room with the lights off and wanted to take a couple of pictures. I took the pictures with all the lights off and some with the green lights on.😏
- I think I'm going to harvest the Misc Strain very soon. Has many signs of being ready.
- I'm building a "tent" so I can set Misc Strain in to finish its life cycle.
*12/29/20
- (8:00PM) I moved the Misc Strain in total darkness and will leave for 36 hours and than will be ready to be chopped. I have a small fan oscillating (blowing towards the ground) in the tent to keep air moving.
- The 4 left in the big room are 3 Oranges Cookies and 1 Dream Cookies.
*12/31/20 (I started cutting around Noon)
- About 40 hours of darkness with temperature at 66*F and humidity levels are at 35%. I like these levels for the buds
- Chopped down the Misc Strain and I hope I find a seed or 2 when I trim her up. I really like how fast the strain grows through each stage from seed to harvest.
- The buds are heavy and the smell is strong so I think this will be a nice harvest from this one plant.
- I acquired the seed from dank buds I got 2 years ago from a buddy so I don't know the name of the Strain but it is an easy Strain to grow.
- Ill be making bud butter with the trim hanging in the basket.
*1/1/2021
-Everything is the same as the week before
*1/5/2021
- Im noticing some yellowing of leaves on one of the plants indicating its getting close to harvest time.😁
*1-9-21
- I did a flush on the plants to experiment with and see what the difference will be for harvest results, if any difference
-150ml Herculean Harvest
-60ml Aphrodite's Extraction
-PH up
-PH level 6.4
*1-11-21 (Watering)
- I lowered a few of the nutrients because I'm getting closer to harvest
*1-14-21
- I decided to take a few pics of the trichomes from clippings of the plants and noticed some purple and slightly milky trichomes on the samples.
- There is some amber stems starting to turn but no trichome has an amber bulb yet so Ill keep an eye on these babies because harvest time is near.
*1-15-21
- Took some more small clippings to see the purple that is showing and I'm keeping an eye on the Trichomes for more of the milky to amber color.
-I watered the babies around 3:45pm because they consuming a lot of water.
-I'm on the later stage of flowering so a lot of the nutrients got cut in half or take smaller doses to get through the flowering stage.
-Cleaned out watering barrel, hoses and water pump
*1-19-21
-I did a flush on all the plants and aeriated the soil after I watered. I used 2 gallons of water per plant. (PH level 6.4)
-Herculean 60ml
-Extraction 30ml
*1-23-21
-I decided to put the babies in 24 hours of darkness starting at 8:00PM when the lights normally shutoff. I haven't feed or watered the plants since the 19th when I did the flush to help eliminate those salts and metals left behind in the root system. When I do the flush I used about 2 gallons per plants
*1-24-21
- Plants will be in total darkness until 8:00PM than I will cut the plants and hang them in the grow room because the temps and humidity levels are good for drying. I have one oscillating fan on the floor to help move air around and I turned the wall fan off because it was blowing to much air on the lowest level setting
- I have some conflicting issues because the KC Chiefs play the Bills to go to Super Bowl so my babies might have to spend little more than 24hours in darkness...maybe.😁 Have to support Chiefs since they practice in my home town.. Go Chiefs!!
- I chopped the babies down and managed to hang them in the grow room without any problems. I trimmed the rest of the big leaves off and trimmed down some of the bigger sugar leaves. 67*F and 31% RH
*1-27-21
- I went ahead and manicured the buds better and separated branches from the whole plant. I still have 1 orange cookie and 1 Dream Cookie left, I will get to those tomorrow.
- I raised the humidity levels to 40% and the temperature is 67*F.
*1-28-21
- Manicured the rest of the plants and hung the branches to dry more.
- I felt the other buds hanging from yesterday and they feel spongy so I'm going to keep a close eye on them to make sure I don't dry them out to much. Maybe another day or 2 of line drying
- Humidity levels are 41% and temps are 66*F.
It has a short height and and buds are very frosty. Not a lot of limbs because I topped it and maybe I shouldn't have..ooopps. No pest problems because I'm a proactive cleaner. The taste of the buds are fruity taste that give off a sweet pungent smell of fruity goodness
The plants reacted good to the NFTG regiment and other goodies I added in through the grow process. Add more CO2 next round. Used a lot of water during Flowering
I didn't have any issue with pest and the plants reacted well to the NFTG regiment I used along with a few other nutrients. Topping the plants was a good thing and aeriated soil regularly. I like how tall they grew, not to tall but tall. They like a flush every now and again.
@GuerrillaNo_4, I use it from beginning of Vegetative Stage all the way until its ready to harvest. I start off with 10ml per gallon of RO water and progressively add more as I get farther along in the grow. The most I've added was 40ml per gallon in the mid flowering stage. It works great flushing out salt build ups.
