Mysteryseed Grow1

Started my first grow from some seeds I got from some actually really good bud. Seeds A&B were much more vigorous from the jump. Seeds C&D pushed through soil with the seed shells still stuck on. Eventually had to take them off manually, hopefully they'll make it. Looks like 'D' definitely will. Humidity dome likely would've helped but oh well. Seedlings are also wayyy taller than they should be. Maybe could've put them a bit deeper in the soil but I think the main problem was that I started them in a window that didn't get too much light. Tent took a while to ship so not much I coulda done. We'll see how it goes! Potting Soil: 2 cup coco coir, 1 cup fox farm HF, 3/4 cup perlite

2nd week of veg. Looks like A B and D are running pretty similarly, I don't think C is going to make it but we'll leave her alone for now. AB & D all have 2 branches w/ 3 leaves on each. Plant A appears to have a weird development issue with the top leaf. Just going to let it play out. Overall plants look pretty good to me. 2 weeks in and no nutes yet, just the diluted happy frog potting soil Did have an issue with overwatering earlier in the week. Plants leaves were starting droop, not necessarily wilt, but droop. Soil was bone dry so tried giving them some water, exacerbating the problem much further. Also raised the light a few inches as I felt maybe the light was too strong. Left them alone after that, they perked back up +/- 24 hrs later. Haven't touched them sense and won't for a while

So I ran into some watering issues last week. Was able to get it sorted out.... This week presented a whole new batch of troubles as I will share with you all now! :) 11/6/20 - Plant leaves started to droop again. Hadn't watered in probably 4 days. Soil was again too dry. Realizing I need to water about a shot glass every other day in the solo cups. Gave them some water today, hopefully they'll perk back up tomorrow. Currently have 4 plants going. Plant 'C' is basically a lost cause but I'm going to keep her going for as long as she'll go! 11/7/20 - Plant leaves continued drooping, very confident I did not overwater them this time as I only gave about a shot glass each. Also noticed the first leaves on plant 'A' began to turn purple indicating nutrient deficiency. Unfortunately I don't have a pH or EC meter yet. Going to hang on for another day and see how they look. pH meter won't come in for a few days so I'd like to hold off on the first nute feed until it arrives 11/8/20 - Unfortunately I did not really take any pictures throughout the week. Starting today plants A, B, and C all have significant purpling of the leaves and the tips of plant 'A' are beginning to curl upward. Also noticed stems turning red. Note only applies to the lower level leaves on all plants, new growth up top still looks mighty green. Plants did perk back up a bit 11/9/20 - All 3 plants look an absolute mess. The lower leaves of all 3 plants are and cupping, curling and twisting all sorts of ways. Large portions of the leaf and especially leaf tips are turning necrotic. Most damage is purple in color w/ red stems. New growth at the top still looks "healthy". Definitely underestimated how quickly a nutrient deficiency would worsen lol. pH meter still not here so I'll have to do the first nute feed based on the feed chart and hope the pH isn't crazy high/low. -Grabbed 1 Gallon of water from the brook behind my house, let it come up to room temperature. Sure there might be some fish poo, pathogens, algae, etc., but I think I'm better off avoiding the tap due to the chlorine. Also like the idea of a natural source (as mother nature intended). Hoping I don't introduce any pests but my other houseplants have been drinking the stuff all year with no issue. Water should already have sufficient ca/mg due to the limestone rocks here in the northeast. TDS meter will hopefully be here soon to see where it's at -Using CX horticulture nutes from my local grow shop... Mixed the first gal at roughly 25% strength and avoided the "head masta" additive -Gave all 3 plants a shot glass worth 11/10/20 - damage to the lower leaves on all 3 plants continued to spread but definitely much slower and they've 'uncrinkled' a bit. Gave each another half a shot glass of nute mix 11/12/20 - Appears I've slowed down the damage considerably however large portions of the previously damaged leaves have died and turned crispy. Broke out the trimmers and tried to clean them up best as I could leaving as much leaf intact as possible. Plants are still growing strong up top and the purpling is still restricted to only the lower leaves. Planning on feeding another shot glass to each on 11/14/20 11/13/20 - lowered light to 24". Also notice slight yellowing around the ends of the leaves on plant A. Will continue to monitor

Plants again look happy this week. Feeding nutes 1-2 times per week depending on how plants look. Otherwise just using spring water. Plant 'C' did not make it. On the plus side I was able to tear her apart to check on roots Had issues with humidity throughout the week. Edges of plant leaves started to curl up a bit, almost look more serrated. rH was as low as 25% which I think is the source of the problem (high of 49% but it was consistently low 30's all week). Nothing I can do about it for now 11-21-20: Transplanted to 3 gal pots. Used happy frog soil with splash of extra perlite. Set the plants in the new soil and gave a decent watering. Was able to add a cheap HD moisture meter I had laying around. Also began running the second LED light as 1 was not really enough to cover the plants with the new spacing. Also set up a small 6" clip on fan as well. Temps quickly shot up to the 80's. Opened every vent in the tent and left the door open to get the temps down. Might have to finally start the exhaust fan if heat continues to be an issue. Going to have to pay close attention to temps and humidity this week, find out when the spikes are, and adjust accordingly

Plants very much enjoy the larger pots, starting to finally branch out. Moved them to the larger part of the tent to keep heat down and humidity up and seems to hold right where I want it. I topped A, FIM D and left C alone. 12-5-20 I chose to top a couple of the branches on plant A just to see what happens. Still need a while longer to veg, no signs of any preflowering or anything yet. D is certainly the tallest, A right behind it, and C following behind but it does hold a quite nice shape. Feeding once a week (this morning) plants seems to be fine.

plants beginning to take form after last weeks treatment. Trimmed a few leaves to prepare for flower. Started removing 2 hrs of light per day on 12-11-20....12/12 cycle will start 12-18-20

Plants growing slowly. 12 hr light cycle started on 12-18-20. Started removing light hours on 12-11-20. Feeding 1 water bottle of nutrients per plant per week

Plants stretching out like crazy. Several inches in a week! First bud sites starting to show up at the tops of the plants

—

Plants done stretching. Buds starting to fill out. Plant D which I FIM'd clearly has the most bud sites and growth followed by plant A which I topped and plant C which I haven't even trimmed a leaf to this point Power outtage this week for several hours. Lights came on, went off, then came back on again while I was at work. Hoping they don't mind

Buds still filling out. Pleased with development since last week. Hoping to see the trend continue. Still feeding 1 water bottle of nutrients per plant per week. Giving plants water +/- every other day Have found a couple pollen sacs and banana's on all 3 plants. Done my best to carefully remove. Selective removal of small bud sites at bas of plant Accidentally cut off a nug while trimming. Not a big deal, was kind of an unimportant one XD. Will dry it out and see how it tastes!

Bud development has slowed down. They seems to be getting a bit denser but I could be more pleased with the size. Pistils are just starting to change color. Didn't take as many pictures as I'd have liked but Figuring a few more weeks left. Last nute feek will be tomorrow 2-6-21

Just about ready for harvest. Middle of this week will be 9 weeks of flower. I think they still need just a few more days. I had a chance to sample some nuggage I've trimmed in the past week or two and it's really got my excitement through the roof Happy with the way they look overall. Buds could be a bit bigger but can't really complain for my first grow. Have had issues with humidity and temp all winter. Apartment is too drafty for hvac to keep up. Not to mention the issue with the power loss a few weeks ago. Really just happy that it worked lol... looking forward to spring / summer If I'm being completely honest, the tent smells like literal dogshit when I unzip it. But if i rub a sugar leaf between two fingers it smells like DANK. Very strong piney smell which I'm pleased with lol. The smell has emanated from the tent the past two weeks or so. Carbon filter has had trouble the scent is kind of overpowering Can't keep my eyes off plant C; literally dripping in trichomes. It might be the smallest but it's the prettiest for sure. Check out the video. Plant D has the most bud mass. Over the past few weeks I've been trimming away some of the lower bud sites and fan leaves along with some of the dying fan leaves. This is plants second week without nutes so as expected leaves are starting to turn darker in color. Likely will cut out water for a couple days right before cutting

Week 16 All photos are through 60x magnifier These are taking forever. All trichomes cloudy. No amber. Still a couple clear trichomes kn plants D and A. Maybe 5% Likely going to havest plant C this week and let the other two go another week or so. Just to experiment with different harvest times
