Welcome to the first diary in my new home,Gotta Grow😏 Started 4 plants,White Widow photo, Gelato photo, Lambs Breath auto and an Early Miss auto. after soaking each seed in water for 16 hours on oct 4th, on the 5th I rolled each seed in great white and put it in a wet paper towel. On the 7th I had the longest taps so far and planted them in the two cup solo cup method. On oct 8th the gelato,lambs breath and early miss sprouted, the white widow sprouted the next day oct.9th. Oct 10th I have a 100% germination, day #1 Transplanted all plants on oct 16th, all plants had roots to the bottom of the cup except the w.widow, down to three plants😶 Dusted the transplant holes with black pearl, placed the seedlings in the hole and watered in. Today oct 18th mixed 1.5L water with 1mL molasses and gave each plant .5 L, their first little feed Hope all is well! See you in a week👊 Grow Big!!

Hey everyone,hope all is well👊 Been a busy week, My lambs breath looks like a little ruderalis, not much hope left😕 It's not growing and the leaves look small and pale, not sure why? Guess you can't get good seeds all the time. I'm going to give it a little while longer to see if it comes back to life or not. The E. miss and the Gelato are doing well, might have overwatered a little😵Patience!!! Trying something new again,the two autos got a little Great white(mycorrhizae) after ten days and a bit of cali-magic every 3 days and the Gelato got a little bio-fuse(beneficial bacteria) after ten days and a bit of sensi-cal-mag-xtra every 3 days All plants got a little molasses and kelp me kelp you(fox farm). Thanks for stopping by👊 Grow Big!!

Hey everyone, it's been an O.K. week. Did my first manifold on the Gelato on day 21,today, waited for the fifth node, then chopped everything off except the third node😵 It seems to be doing O.K.😶 Topped the E. Miss. and a little lst. she bounced right back after about an hour or so. Then fed them both a bit of kelp me kelp you 2 ml/L, and a bit of cali-magic 1ml/L, .5L/ plant The lambs breath didn't make it😢 not sure why?, It stayed really small and yellowish, chopped it and started another diary, L. breath and W. widow😛autos. Hope all is well, stay healthy stay medicated👊 Grow Big!!

A little early I know,today is day 23 and both plants are doing well. Trying not to overwater, still have the urge to be in the tent doing something all the time, have to keep it simple. Top fed both plants with gaia green 4-4-4, so just water in small amounts for now. The E.miss is growing like crazy, still can't believe how fast these plants can grow😵 The Gelato seems to be doing fine, bouncing back after the chop. thanks for stopping by, see you in a week👊 Grow Big!! Update- day 26, top dressed both plants with 1ml great white each. Mixed 2L water and .5ml bio-fuse(gro-tek) gave each plant 1L each

Hey everbody, hope all is well👊 It's been a great week, had almost 20c for two days in a row. This doesn't happen very often in Nov. Got to take the bikes out for a couple of rides before putting them away for the winter😎 Thoght I'd post a couple of pics,the red one is mine, the blue one is my wifes. OH Yeah,😁 the plants are doing great, day 29, did a bunch of defoliation on both plants a couple of days ago they seemed to take it in stride, didn' skip a beat, fed both right away with kelp and cali-magic. The early miss is showing signs of flowering (already, crazy fast) and is starting to smell a little. Thanks for stopping by, Grow Big!!

northernMikestarted grow question 4 years ago
Just wondering, when would be a good time to flip my photoperiod plant(gelato) after I made a manifold out of it, plant is 35 days old today and still kind of small. will it stretch much after the light is switched to 12/12? should you put the plant in darkness before the flip?

You can expect the plant to increase in size by 40-50% after you flip to flower. So a good time to flip is once you have your base training done and she's about half the size that you would like her to be. Happy growing.

Hey everybody, hope all is well👊, plant are 36 days old today Nov.15 It's been a good week, not to much happening,plants are growing strong. Flushed the early miss yesterday with 4L water, then 1Lwater and 4mL purpinator. Added a little bat guano and 1 scoop 2-8-4 and .5 scoop 4-4-4 this morning and watered in with .5L plain water. This plant is eating everything I give it(amazing) The Gelato is doing well considering it's my first attempt at a manifold,seems to growing a little slow but I am growing it beside an auto which is racing to the finish line, patience is the key😏. Thinking about flipping to 12-12 pretty soon, maybe 1 more week. Did a little moving around and I put all the autos together in the 4x4 tent and the gelato photoperiod gets the 2x4 gorilla tent. I made two Co2 generators, 1 for each tent, they last approx. a week to 10 days and cost about a dollar to make, if that. 6 cups warm water, 3/4 - 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon bread machine yeast, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, You need two airtight containers 1 big 1 small some flexible tubing, like from an aerator and you are making Co2👍 Thanks for stopping by!!

Hey everybody, How grows it? It' been a week already, day 42 for both plants(time keeps on tickin,tickin,tickin, into the future) Flipped the gelato the other day(12-12) and it started to stretch right away, filled the whole top of the pot in two days. Flushed it, then fed sm. amount of bloom nutes right away, so far so good👍 A little more training, then just let it grow. The E. Miss is just finishing the stretch(I hope), just over 22'' tall and starting to smell, super healthy and starting to show signs of flowering😀. Scratched a little bit of worm castings into each plant and a straight water day today, Gelato-.5L, E.Miss-2L Have a great week👊 Grow Big!!

Wow, day 50, hope everyone is good, all is good up north, starting to get cold -14c tonight😀should be fishing on the hard water soon😛 Some nuts are already on the ice😵,only 4-5 inches thick, I like at least a FOOT!!! Plants are growing like crazy, the E.Miss is still stretching, 29'', almost an inch a day(amazing), lots of bud sites, should produce a nice harvest🙏 The gelato is growing slowly but looks real healthy, stretching a bit and showing signs of flowering, I released all the pins except two and I'm just going to let her grow, maybe a little defoe here and there, snapped one branch during training, it healed itself fairly quick and is growing strong. Overall happy with my first attempt at a manifold, couple things I will do different next time, nothing to drastic, it was a great learning experience😏 Thanks for stopping by👊 see you in a week!

Hey everyone👊 hope all is well It's been a quiet week, day 58 today and both plants are growing extremely well.😀 The E.Miss is over 38'' tall and still growing, takes up half the 2x4 tent(biggest auto so far💪) had to rearrange the exhaust fan and the carbon filter so I could gain some height for the light, another bonus, the tent is not quite as hot as the light is a lot closer to the filter, 23-24c at the canopy, 19-20c at the top of the pot. Both plants seem to be loving life. The Gelato started stretching quite a bit so I tied it down again and spread it out , once it started to stretch the branches got really easy to bend and the plant really likes all the extra light, not that tall yet(10-11'') but she's growing and looks great👍 Todays food Mixed 2L water,8mL purpintor, 4mL big bud and .25mL monster bloom. E.Miss- 1.5L Gelato- .5L Thanks for stopping by👊 Grow Big!! P.S the ice was about 5-6'' thick, solid clear ice, fishing in 4' of water right close to shore, could see those little specs swimming around your hook😍FUN!!

Hey everybody, are you ready for Christmas?😵 The Early Miss is still growing (day 65, over 48'') might just decorate the miss instead of a tree😂 Put the light right to the top of the tent and the pot right on the floor inside the tent and I had to raise the gelato about 6'' so I can keep them in the tent at the same time. You can see in the pics(sorry poor quality) that I had to bend the top few inches over with some pipe cleaners just to let the other bud sites catch up.This E. miss is huge💪 and just won't quit, can't wait to see the end results😋 Both plants are super healthy and doing their own thing, I'm just along for the ride😀 Thanks for stopping by👊 Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Merry Christmas everybody👊 Hope all is well. It's been a great week, day 72, the E.miss finally stopped growing vertically and is starting to fill out very nicely,smells a little too.This plant is still drinking 1.5-2L everyday, top fed last week (2-8-4 gaia green) last time, added some overdrive💪 to the feed schedule. It's still the biggest auto that I've grown and I can't wait to see the end results😋. The Gelato is growing like crazy, I think it has stopped stretching and is starting to put the bud on👌 This is a little finicky, needs about .5L water and food everyday, if I feed more it just stays in the bot. of the pot. Can't believe It's the beginning of week 11,so in the next couple of weeks I will be able to try the U.V.B light that I bought, Only supposed to use it the last 3-4 weeks of flower, we'll see if it makes a difference or not, let's hope. Everyone stay safe in these crazy times 👊 Grow BIg!!

Happy New Years👊 All plants 78 days old today,week 6 of flowering Moved both plants out of the tent into a spare room in the basement. changed the light to two viparspectra's(V450, V 600), the plants seem to love the wide open spaces and a little cooler temps.The gelato is concentrating strictly on growing big buds,really dense super sticky and the aroma is something else, like the old double bubble chewing gum. The E.Miss is still drinking 1.5-2L everyday and starting to fill out, the buds are sticky and very sweet smelling😛 The Gelato is drinking .5-.75L everyday and the buds are getting bigger everyday💪 Can't say that this grow is organic, I've used monster grow pro,monster bloom, sensi calmag-xtra and overdrive all other ferts and boosters have been organic. Thanks for stopping by👊 see you in a week!!

Happy New Years everyone👊 It's been a good week, both plants are super happy and slowing on their uptake of water(the end is near)😛 The E. Miss finally made up her mind and is concentrating on filling out, a little while to go yet(2-3 weeks)😵 The Gelato is not doing to much, buds are getting a little bigger, super dense(hard!) super sticky and the smell, well, kind of sweet and sour. It probably needs a couple weeks as well. No amber trichomes yet, but lots of milky ones and still some clear ones. This plant is not going to produce a very big harvest, but the quality should be there. Overall pretty happy for my first attempt at manifold😄Next one will be much better😏 Stay healthy Stay Safe!! thanks for stopping by👊

Hey everyone, Hope all is well👊 It's been a good week or so, the Gelato is showing some amber trichs, so I started flushing. Two 8L flushes with gro-tek final flush(2mL/L) and two 8L flushes with just water. The nuggets are super dense, super sticky and I can't wait to try😵. The Early Miss is still putting on some weight, no signs of amber trichs. yet, lots of milky ones so I'll probably start to flush in a week or so. Thanks for stopping by👊 see you in a week.

Hey everyone, hope all is well👊 Had to sneak a puff(WOW) sat me back in my chair😋, really impressed with the quality👌 However, the quantity was just not there. I stunted the roots when the plant was young(not sure😶) The roots were approx. 6-7'' deep and maybe 10'' in diameter in a 7 gal pot😵. Always thought that the pot was staying heavy it never seemed to get light or dry up. Overall happy😬 with my first attempt at manifold and a photo inside the tent👍, still learning! Next one coming right up!!! Grow Big!!

Not real happy😒 buds looked large, very airy with a little sugar. Kept 200 grams(wet) of buds and I'm going to make bubble hash from the rest. Not sure what happened to this plant,chalk it up to a learning experience and move on😑 Hope all is well!! Grow Big!!
