Obiwan Grow

So these Jiffy peat moss pellets are the absolute worst!!! I usually use rock wool cubes but I ran out and decided to try these stupid things again. They just get so water logged or so rock hard dry. It’s hard to keep them in the middle. I had to remove them from my cloning machine because they where just to water logged compared to when I use rock wool or clones in it. 2 of the 3 seedlings came up no problem after they dried out a bit and the third one took another day longer and needed so help getting her shell off. For watering, I’ve just been dunking them halfway into my cloning reservoir and letting them soak up water for a second then pulling them out. This seems to get them wet enough but not soaked. 24hrs or so later they are almost completely dry and I repeat. I’m afraid to let them dry rite up cause they get so rock hard, I can’t see that being good at all for the newly developing, delicate roots being formed. I will update some more pics later in the week when I get my starter 3gal DWC buckets built and going. Cheers 💨

Off to a rough start be we got everything straightened out and there starting to come back around. I was mixing my first batch of nutrients for these girls when I moved them to there started 3gal buckets and it was at like 3am and I accidentally doubled the dose. So they got a hot start and the ph was almost 7 for a few days, so not the best conditions for them to start to say the least. I had a friend pass away earlier in the week so stuff kinda got put on the back burner for a few days. But we are back at it vigilant as always and hopefully we will see some growth this week on these girls. There flower tent wont be ready for them for about a month, so we still got some time. Cheers💨

Last week went good, had a bit of a heat issue early on in the week but I got that fixed up and we are sitting around 24c now in lights on and 18c or so in lights out. Humidity is a little low but there doing fine. Topped them yesterday on day 15 at there 3rd internode. Another 2-3 weeks before there flowering tent is ready so I will be adding some insulated tops to them this week with anchor points on them to begin there LST once there new top grow up enough in a week or so. Overall been a good week, got some decent roots now in the water and we will keep moving along. Cheers!💨

Had a cold, slow growing week this week. Night temps dropped down pretty low a few nights before I noticed, had a cold snap and I recently took my heating vent out of the tent, so I rerouted one of my AC exhausts trough this tent to heat it up again. I also had a bit to much nitrogen in my water mixture so this also slowed them down a bit, I diluted the nutrients in half but removing half of the water and adding strait water. There coming around now a few days later. Gonna be moving them to the big 4’x8’ tent soon(week or so prob till the tent is empty) with the RDWC 5gal bucket system and 1000w HPS for flowering. Gonna let them grow up a bit still before be start there LST, don’t wanna stress them yet after last week and there still staying low and bushy, not quite long enough shouts to pull over yet. Well that’s it for this week, cheers💨 #trusttheplant🌱

Got the girls into there flowering tent and there 5 gal RDWC system under a 1000w HPS on a light rail mover. We are flipping them now because these DWC systems produce massive plants. We are going to tuck through the stretch until they stop this time and try and keep them as low as possible. I’ve grown this strain before a few times and ran a couple clone runs of it as well, so I think I know what to expect hopefully. Lol this is a spectacular strain from an A+ breeder(Canuk Seeds) and I can’t wait to smoke her again! One of those tried tested and true strains for me...lol I will also be keeping the light at max height and punching them with 1000w rite from the get go instead of lowering the wattage and trying to get the light closer to try and conserve power. I get a better light spread at 1000w 3 feet away and don’t have to move my light as much to cover the roughly 4x6 foot space of the tent I will be flowing in. The last 2 feet of the tent are reservoir and air conditioner. I don’t want the cold air to close to my plants so I try to keep a buffer zone. I will be adding a cardboard wall I think across blocking the air conditioners direct air output and blow it across the tent with my oscillation fan instead. I also have my second water cooled thermoelectric reservoir water chiller built now and I will be installing it in this reservoir as soon as I get a chance. I’m making a how to DIY video for it so it’s taking a bit longer to build and install as I’m trying to document the entire process. So probably next week I will have it installed and running for the weekly update and I’ll post some links to the DIY video as well if I have it up yet. Couple weeks ago I over nute’d them and ended up with nitrogen abundance so I countered that last week with a very low EC at 0.2 and the rebounded quick, so quick they went the opposite and I had nitrogen deficiency within the week. Lol so they are now in there new homes and sitting in 0.75 EC water with 6.0ph and they are coming around now. Well that’s it for this week folks, Cheers! 💨

First week of flowering went good, had some trouble with my ph meter again, so I ordered a bunch of ph equipment and I’m gonna start fresh with everything new. Lol sick of second guessing my crappy pens. Plants are staying pretty compact so far, they have started to stretch a little bit but we have only done a few tucks on them. They are either gonna stay short or haven’t started there main stretch yet, but we are 10 days into flip so they should be stretching by now. Time will tell I guess. Lol I removed a few of the larger guard leaves up top to open up the middle of the plants more to the light. I have around 40000 lux at the top of the netting and they seem to be taking it fairly well. I’m yet to get my water chiller installed as I’ve been very busy this month and haven’t had time to finish my DIY video for it. Lol hopefully this week we will get it installed and get our water temps down a little lower. I got some more H2O2 coming soon too so can’t wait to get using that again, plants just haven’t been the same without it, but I haven’t been able to find it reasonably priced anywhere near me in a long time. I am using UC Roots now in its place to keep my res/water clean, but it’s not as good. H2O2 has extra oxygen on top of keeping things clean, so can’t wait! Well that’s it for this week, Cheers💨

Everything looking normal so far, had some ph issues a bit and 1 plant took it a bit harder and seems to have looked out. Got a lot of its guard leaves spotting but it’s nothing to worry about really, plants aren’t always perfect looking... corrected it quick I think so she should be fine in a few days. Cheers 💨

A month in now to flowering and all is still good. Stretch has stopped and the 2nd net is on about 1 foot above the first. I would have liked to have done a bit more defoliation earlier on in flowering but it was a busy few week. Still kept her on the lower side for nutrients and notice the one plant that got locked out earlier in the month was not as pretty as the rest and showing signs of deficiency still on her leaves but the buds are developing normal like the others, bigger even maybe...lol all in all it’s still looking good at this point. Cheers 💨

Still going amazing for these girls. Got some big buds forming now at the end of week 5 in flowering. Canopy is a bit crowded now and really wish I did some more defoliation in the beginning of flowering on these girls. Aww well, next time round on this strain we will know. Lol there definitely will be another round of these girls that’s for sure, it’s kinda my go too strain but this is the first time I did them in my newer big tents. Loving the results so far. I upped the nutrients slightly and they seem to take it well, gonna hold at half strength now for the rest of the flowering until we flush the last week. Cheers 💨

End of week 6 and things are really ramping up now! First couple pics on this week where taken 4 days after the middle of week 5 pics on the previous week and there is a huge difference and I also got in just before the HPS came on to snap these pics and video so you can see them much better then under my HPS pics taken on day 40 into flowering also in this weeks diary. These girls are not messing around, giant buds everywhere and no signs of them slowing down anytime soon...lol we might be looking at more then 8-9 weeks of flowering I’m thinking at this point. Still got 1 ugly plant eating her leaves but I’m thinking now it’s just my lower nutrient doses making this happen. It’s a really slow progression so far, but I’m loosing a lot of guard leaves up top on the one, but she is still got the biggest buds....hmmmm just gonna let her go and see what happens. So far so good! Lol Cheers 💨

So far so good! Everything is moving along nicely, halfway through week 7 and we are starting to see the first signs of them slowing down, got a few red hairs now and things look like we might see a harvest at week 9-10 I’m thinking. Hopefully be a couple pounds in here this time...lol it’s looking promising anyway, we are on day 45...ish and these girls are packin on the buds and if we push them to 10 weeks we still got another 25 days for them to grow and develop. There all starting to show signs of pk deficiency’s now, I upped the nutrient dose slightly but still progressing slowly through the older leaves. Plants are also nearing there end of life so they are expected to do this. I’ve been trying to go the “less is more” method with this tent this time as I always tend to push them hard nutrient wise, and this time I wanted to see what I got doing the opposite and giving them just what they need and not to much, seems to be going good so far anyway, we will see in a few weeks time I guess. Cheers 💨

Coming along nicely at this point, we got one smaller plant of the 3 x Obi-Wan that was the runt and finished up at 8 weeks a bit earlier then the other 2, so she was pulled this week and is drying. 2 to go, both much larger and still got another week or so at least. We could have run all three longer as well but we are running low on supply as well. Cheers 💨

Going great on these last 2 girls. Got some wind burn on the one when my oscillation decided to stick on my fan for awhile before I noticed what was going on. No biggy, live and learn. Lol still got a lot of giant buds here. There starting to look ready soon. one still needs some time but the smaller one was cut and is drying with her sister. Only one to go, she still needs a few more days and I have left it in dark for a few days to see if there will be any noticeable difference. Cheers 💨

Last Obi-Wan girl was left in dark for 3 days and then chopped on day 66 and is now drying. She was definitely the largest of all 4 plants in the tent. Cant wait to see the dry weight on this girl! Next update will be when all the bud is dry and we have a final weight for all 3 together. The first one we chopped only gave us just over 4oz dried but she was half the size as the other 3 girls and kinda lower in the corner. Pulled 7.4oz off the Wedding Cake in the same tent/setup and these last 2 Obi-Wan’s that are still drying are bigger then she was by a lot I think. Cheers 💨

This strain is one of my favourites! I have grown it a few times over the years and it never disappoints. Grows fast and bushy and produces massive colas in the end. Always seems to keep on trucking no matter what I throw at them. I harvested the 3 plants at 3 different times. I had 1 that finished up at the 8 week mark and I harvested her and got just under 4oz, and the other 2 I left another week and harvested one at 9 weeks and got just over 4oz, and the last plant I left sit for 3 more days in darkness to try that out. Harvested her with just over 5oz. It’s all very potent and tasty buds even before curing. That’s it! Another diary down...Next! Lmao Cheers 💨
