Hello everyone. This is my very first grow ever. I'm willing to try what some might deem crazy, such as. I put one tenth of a teaspoon in one quart of water on day 5. She seemed to respond well sprouting her 2nd set of leaves day 6.
I filled the pots with fresh ocean forest soil so the heght measurements are not consistent with last week's numbers. There was great leaf and stem production after feeding fish fertilizer and step 1( both Alaska nutrient products). So far so good.
Light foliage mist, every other day. Watering 1/2 gal every 3 days, alternating nutes and Epsom salt in water. 4th node started 5 finger fan leaves. Great node leaf growth as well. Gave first ponytail on day 19, plan is to keep it in ponytail for 6 hours every other day. Going up one node each day until I reach the "top" then repeat until height suggests a more drastic form of low stress training.
Day 22: tucked big leaves for two hours then ponytailed for 4.
Day 23: nutes feeding of 1/4 gal of 6.2 pH water with 3ml of fish fertilizer 3ml of step 1 and 3 ml of micronutrients from Alaska's naturals.
Day 24: ponytailed for 4.5 hrs
Day 25 : tucked big fan leaves for 4 hrs
Day 26: Martha is showing her V card... I think.
Day 27: Good growth ponytail for 2 hours.
Day 28: fed 1/4 gal of nute water. Tucked fan leaves for 2 hours.
Pistoles have sprung up all over. Growing about an inch a day. Taking half a gallon of water per feeding or watering, every 3-4 days. New lights are one their way. A king 1000w led and a taotronic led supplement light. Let there be light and may the force be with you....
Switched out lights, had 27 watts being pulled from the wall with little grow bulbs from Amazon. I put in a King led plus pulling 210 watts from the wall and two taotronic grow lights pulling 12 watts from the wall. Added more nitrogen back into feed, new growth seems a lot better not nearly as yellow. Finally got the nerve to tie her down, I just hope I'm not too late. Better late than never I suppose.
Day 42 Had some nute burn but 8 hrs later all looked good with no intervention... My own grow miracle. Lights seems amazing, and the smell is definitely getting stronger.
Day 43 I went against the autoflower grain, I was running out of space in the closet so I defoliated 25% of big solo fan leaves... I'm praying she doesn't get too upset.
Day 48: New Home. The 4'x4'x8' tent came today. Old home was a 24"x19"x45" aluminum closet lined with aluminum foil...
I have been defoliating a little bit everyday, including little "budsites" that aren't really going to produce anything... The smell of this strain is amazing, Everytime I touch it my fingers smell like heaven for 30 minutes. It will be a sad yet glorious day when I cut this baby down...😅😅😌
I'm cutting back on all nutes but molasses, because I'm figureing 3-4 more weeks max. I'm hoping/praying the yellow leaves are just Martha pulling energy from the fan leaves, there are so many...
I tied the lower branches down for 3 days, the bud sites on the end of the branches have doubled in size from the light exposure... I think... A buddy of mine gave me a 1000 watt hps light and dimmable ballast, so I of course threw it in the tent running it at 400 watts because of the heat it produces. Now I need to research ventilation systems... SMH but it's a good problem to have I suppose.
I have no idea when to pull her. I think she would benefit from another week or so... She is soaking up water now a half gallon of plain pH water every other day to flush.
No nutrients have been used for a week and a half. I've added exhaust and filter to the tent. I'm afraid it is all little tiny buds but they are covered in trichomes. Hopefully it still smokes well.
Looked great her whole life. She showed me from the start she was a special seed. In the end the yield was smaller than expected because of the trifoliate, but she taste great and felt amazing. I was not able to sleep after smoking...
