1st Indoor Grow

Day 5 Thanks for visiting. Pics and quick status update today. Milky trichs are arriving and there are even a handful of amber ones towards the top of the main cola. Flush may have to start sooner than I anticipated. Will likely shed the last of the bigger leaves after feed this evening, although there are very few left. Plant does not appear to have been adversely affected by a series of mini defols over the last 10 days despite my anxieties. Moving the fan around as much as possible as it's getting tricky keeping the clusters of colas apart and i want to keep air moving between them where possible. Continually tweaking my low stress ties to try and maximise light and air circulation but it's not always possible with stiffer branches to contend with and limited space to pull colas into. Feed tonight will likely be close to full strength just to give those buds as much help as they can get. Expect maybe only 2 or 3 more feeds before flush....we'll see. Some pretty chunky buds in there I must say. Intrigued to see how much they put on over the next couple of weeks. Cheers and be as kind to yourself as you are to your plants. Little life tip for you there. Xxx Day 4 Just some pics tonight and a quick note to say thank you to those who answered my defolitation question re fan leaves. I'm actually going to sit tight for a few days as there has been some pretty consistent snipping over the last week or so. Like maybe 3 or 4 fairly busy sessions, so I might have lost track of how much I've taken. I wanna check it's still gonna grow at the same rate it's been going at over the weeks and it does seem to have slowed down a little after all the haircuts. I'm hoping reintroducing some of those nutes will give it a boost and I'm probably going to feed again tomorrow night. So towards the end of the week I'll have a better feel for it. Some of the leaves around the top of the tallest cola were curling up a bit and a teeny bit yellow so I lifted the light again. Been snooping some other GC diaries trying to figure out my timeline and moves for the end game. To no avail..very little consistency to harvest windows out there I'm GD land. Fk it ..I'm in no rush right now. My government says I can't even leave the house so ima let this one run and run... Thanks for stopping by. Xxx Day 3 Thanks for stopping by. Pleasr don't hold back with comments and advice. It's been super helpful so far. Pheweee...getting pretty stinky in there now. Took it out for a feed and water in the bath...and yeah.... that lingers! Another light feed today. Will monitor over the next few days. Feeding at about 60% the recommended bio bizz programme, except for top max and bloom since those have only recently been introduced into the programme. Figure at this stage better to just be cautious. Don't want to fk this up now. Not sure what I was expecting yield wise but suffice to say, this is going much better than i thought it would. Some of these colas, i mean, you can't really tell from the pics but like one is as long as my hand almost. Interested to see how they chunk up over the coming weeks. And to see how the lower ends come on now there is so much more light getting through. Must get the nutes right next time along with the rh. And the ph too. Ima nail that. (Weird...I cannot stop thinking about the next grow. It's compelling stuff this homebound horticulture. I'm a serial optimiser and this stuff....well, if you are wired that way it's great fun, right?) Some of the growth totally snook up on me as I checked my lamp height and it was pretty low, like less than 8 inches from the top of the tallest cola. I bought the light up a bit. Ima post a question on the defoliation. No doubt it has been super effective...but how far do you go? Not much else to say tonight. Look after yourselves out there. Day 1 Pretty happy right now. Went easy on the nutes again last week. Only two feeds and the second one 3 litre RO 4ml bloom, 2ml top, 2ml heaven, 4ml alg and 4ml acti. Will step up again on the next feed as everything seems to be stable. (Am too lazy to recalculate my weekly feed stats including these two numbers). Last week was a lot about defoliation. Had some great advice as ever from the community - thanks c2 farms - and indeed the plant is looking all the chunkier for it. I'm still not sure whether I could/should do another round. Will revisit next week. Temps are stable but RH is low and dropped even to 29% shortly after the second defoliation. I've got some water bowls in the tent now and we're back into the low 30s. But it still seems a bit low. Not sure if we are about half way through flower or not. Colas are getting frosty and pistils are very amber but no milky trichs. I'm thinking at least another two weeks before I even think about flushing. Maybe more.... GC seems to be 8-9 weeks flower so I guess there's a way to go yet. I'm enjoying this so much and already preparing for the next grow. Yay. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for all the encouragement. It really makes a difference. So bad with the virus where I am in the world right now. So much suffering. This beautiful specimen really helps me to be patient, stay focussed but also look forwards with a positive mindset. I hope your grows bring you the same dear friends.
