I'm retrospectively creating journals for my first 3 grows. This is my 3rd grow. I blew through 1 amnesia and the 1 freebie photo that came in this 4 seed packet. Before that I blew through 3 cherry bomb from that 5 seed packet. This website sucks again. Found out duh, I can plug my phone in and drag pictures right to website on pc. Other than that moment of stupidity, I can't do more than one grow at a time in one diary or at least until I figure it out. Lots of other issues with this website. I'm too invested now. Taking on another complaint about this website. When I say I use nutrients of xx ml/ l it is really just xx ml of the nutrient. I don't know the concentrate and for that's a stupid question because it would be impossible to calculate.
Oops again, I hate this website. I put comments on each picture. Using misting distilled water. Buried the compostable container 2 inches deep. She grew back those 2 inches immediately. Too far from the light. I got nervous about the seed getting stuck in the shell. Had to perform surgery. Again this was 4 months ago, from memory. Forever pot about 1.5 gallon size. Next grow, I'm going to do 4 gallons and it will be the final amnesia seed, not sure. I got new seeds coming tomorrow (November 2). Switiching to 3 ml compost tea after this week I think?
Hard to remember water amounts. I've got a standard, no tent basement. 5 grow lights as described. Temps are standard humidity and temp. A little cooler in basement say 68 instead of 72 upstairs, winter or summer it is the same. I've got a humidifier on the furnace so not too dry in winter. And a dehumidifier for summer in the basement. I make my own compost tea. Take rain water and let it steep with compost for 3 days. You have to strain it through a coffee filter to put it in a spray bottle to prevent clogs. She stayed in her forever 1.5 gallon pot for that height. Also have clover growing. That adds nitrogen. Picked pictures from July 8 to represent this week. One of my lights is a blurple. I take all photos under it and I see no issues.
Week 3 finally. This is painful working this website. Wasting so much time. No smell ok? I took one photo that week. Next week drama hits. No grow techniques. Get outta town dumb website. Once again comments here and on photo. Marijuana is supposed to be 1 leafelet, then 3 leaflets, then 5.
Had to do some major propping. She fell over. Too far from light. I use a timer, 14 hours, 6 am to 8 pm. Let's say I went up 8 inches closer. Also moved up to 5 ml. So feeding all the time. The soil is 50% top soil 25% home made compost 25% perlite.
Getting tedious remembering the changes going on. I keep my water on a warm stereo so it is also about 68 degrees. For some reason I notice water cools down in a house to like 60 degrees just guessing. Guess what I never got 5 leaves!
Going with week 6 and 6 inches. I know I took a picture a week. I know I was disappointed that it wasn't getting 5 leaves only 3 leaves. Already on 6th set of leaves, hard to count that high. Next week she flowers unexpectedly to me. I'm still too far from light, and I didn't know it.
She grew so slow I decided not to crop the top off. My thinking is 30% or less you can prune. I was too scared. Next thing I notice she's splitting on her own. And flowering. Well pre-flower. So I took more pictures. i decided to move her up even closer to the light. I remember maybe doing it again, but not worth hurting my brain on this one.
Started switching to every other day of compost tea and every other day of rain water. Going into the 5th month now, Nov 1 is 4 months. Hard to count and even harder to use this website. This is the new spot where the plant is in the middle of the light area. She's still leaning and that is fine with me. The smell is strong. I've decided Nov 2 - Nov 8 is Week 18. So that means all the pictures I took today including the one here really belong to the next week. Trust me this is how the plant looked last week too.
Week 20 is Nov 16 to Nov 22
Week 21 is Nov 23 to Nov 29
I got a new scope at the grow show for $11. Now I want to buy a scale. Currently 2 different samples are curing. One on Nov 13 and one on Nov 20. The sample you see dried in about 3 days. The one on Nov 13 dried for a whole week.
Week 21 was Nov 23 to Nov 29
Week 22 is Nov 30 to Dec 6
There is a weird sap spot.
I got a new scale online and it came on Dec 6. I added up the weight measurements since I've been curing in separate bottles each of the different ages of weed. That 2 gram bud only took 3 days to dry out. One of the ball jars was cured Nov 13, one Nov 20, and one Nov 24. The big bud was cured starting Dec 7. So that means after a month on Dec 13 which is in 2 days I can try some of this because it will have been a whole month. The plant is now 6 inches tall and thus 28 inches from the light.
Week 26 is Dec 28 to Jan 3. Between Jan 1 and Dec 5 no real change, because most of the plant has cured already. One more cure started on December 12. The 2 gram bud with the 6 inch stem started curing Dec 4. I'm finding no real difference between a 21 day cure and a 1 month cure. Today is Jan 3. Moved some clover in from the Grow 2 Sour Diesel Auto Fem that was 8 months old. This one is 6 months old. So far harvested an 1/8. Probably this last part is about 1 gram. A close up shot of the embryo leaves shows new growth. A close up shot also using my microscope shows the trichomes.
I should have joined diary of the month yesterday when there were only 10 people. Now there are almost 100. It will be another 3 days before I can start to cure the last bud. I might check the weight to see if it lost much in the drying process or in the curing process. It was hard to grow because when others wanted to do LST mine was doing it on its own by falling over.
Week 26 is Dec 28 to Jan 3. I'll probably record this as my 3rd harvest that I enter into the diary of the month contest.
7th from the bottom for Grow 1 Sour Diesel Fem Auto for November
Grow 2 Sour Diesel Fem Auto for December is about 182 out of 197 and only 2 days left. So I'm improving. That makes me 15 from the bottom.
Edit
Finished 197 out of 213 Dec diary of the month
Grow 4 Lemon Haze x Chem Dog didn't make it, still trying another seed that probably dried out. Grow 2 Sour Diesel Fem Auto had 1 baby seed and that is doing really well in Grow 4 Sour Diesel Fem? Auto?
I've removed the extra strain from the grow, just kept it in the comments, in hopes of the diary contest. I only ever plan 1 plant at a time. More on that later.
