Watered the girls with 1/2 gallon each of RO water and 1/4 tsp per gallon. 6.5 PH out with 700 PPM'S. Transplanted the following day after watering into final pots. 5 gallon pots. LST on both plants throughout the week. The topping really slowed them down. It seems like they stopped growing for about a week. They are definitely taking off now.

Not a whole lot going on. Did one more major LST and defoliation before I put them into flower. Trying to get light and air to the smaller bud sites. I will give them a week and decide whether to switch the light cycle or wait. Depends on growth. Sprayed leaves with Neem Oil. Gnats are annoying. Watering on Day 47 with RO water at 6.5 PH and 1/2 tbsp of molasses.

Busy week. Heavy defoliation and LST to get the canopy ready for flower. Feeding on Day 52 RO water with 3 ml Calmag, 15 ml Big Bloom and 10 ml Grow Big. PH 6.4 and ppm's 860 going in. PH 6.4 and 1100 PPM's on run off. Transitioned to flower light cycle on Day 53. Plants are loving the 12-12 light cycle. Good stretch going on through the week. Feeding on Day 57 RO water with 3 ml Calmag, 15 ml Big Bloom, 5 ml Grow Big and 7 ml Tiger Bloom. PH 6.3 and ppm's 908 going in. 6.3 PH and 1380 ppm's on run off. Gnats are still annoying. Added some yellow sticky traps to tent. Hope it helps. Going to do another neem oil spray as well. 🤬

Not much going on this week. Feeding on Day 60 RO water with 3 ml Calmag, 15 ml Big Bloom, 5 ml Grow Big and 8 ml Tiger Bloom. 6.4 ph in and out. 1260 average PPM'S. One gallon of RO water with 1/2 tbsp Recharge on Day 63. Light defoliation middle of the week to open up lower bud sites. Plants are starting to stretch. 😁

Awful week. I over fed the plants and had to do a major flush. I bumped the nutrients up because I thought they could handle it. Apparently I had a little build up. My run off was horrible. My ph dropped to 5.6 and my ppm's went through the roof 4000. I did a major flush and got them back to somewhat normal. 5.9ph and 2000ppm's. Other than that major f-up, things are going peachy. They are stretching. I'm still doing light defoliation to the canopy to open it up. Nothing major. Just a light trimming. Happy growing! 😁

Not a whole lot going on this week. I watered the girls with RO water with 3 ml Calmag and I kept the PH at 6.9. I'm trying to get the run off back above 5.9 ph. Run off was at 6.0 ph and the ppm's have dropped. I will give them a very light feeding the next watering day. Plants look good considering last weekend's mess up. Glad I flushed them right away. It doesn't seem to have slowed them down. Cola's are really forming now. The smell has increased. I did clear out the lower canopy of leaves and tiny buds and did a light defoliation up top. Girls are looking and smelling good. Happy Growing! 👍🏼

Gave the girls a light feeding this week. I will up the nutrients on the next feeding. Run off was low with one girl 980ppm. The other girl was on point 1700ppm.

Watered the girls this week. Trying not to kill them with over feeding them. 😁 I did some more defoliation in the canopy. Trying to open it up a bit for light and air to movement. Not much else to report. Kind of a boring week.

This has been a hell of a week. 🤬 I gave them a feeding and a watering this week. I believe I have them back on track with nutrients and waterings. That's the good news. 😁 The bad news is I ran into white powdery mildew early in the week. I removed affected leaves and thought it would go away. Not so much. By the end of the week, my plants were covered. I've also been struggling with humidity. I can get it to 50% but it is a struggle. I did a hydrogen peroxide and water spray on them one day and I'm going to do a Banish and water spray two days later. The peroxide worked great. Hopefully the Banish will eliminate the rest. This was a good week for learning but I'm sure with all the hiccups, my harvest will suffer.

Very busy week with the girls. I did the Banish with water spray two days after the peroxide spray. Plants took it well. By the end of the week, the white powdery mildew starting coming back. Very lightly compared to last time so I gave them another Banish shower. I did get my RH to drop down to 45% so I believe this will help too. I scrubbed the tent and everything else inside of it. The girls got a watering with molasses and a feeding this week. With all the BS going on, they are taking it in stride. Pistols are turning brown and I believe I'm going to start there flush after one more feeding. Water only from then on.

Girls are swelling up and getting frosty for sure. They are strictly on a water diet from now on until harvest. Get those ppm's down to 0. White powdery mildew is back and it's definitely here to stay until harvest. I will be giving these girls a H2O2 bath when I harvest. Other than the WPM, I'm happy with the grow thus far. Happy Growing! 👍🏼

Not a bad grow. Not excited about the final outcome. I would expect more than 3 ounces for two plants. Still a beginner and I'm sure I will get better harvests as I gain more knowledge. Unfortunately, I can't give you taste or effects. I can't smoke due to my job. 🤬 My stash goes to family and friends. 😁
