******Coco is BUSHDOCTOR by Foxfarms! it is amended!******
Finally got all the pieces together and timeline right for a seed drop! Trying out Night Owl Seeds for the first time, these are from the Halloween 2020 drop! Was fun to buy seeds in a limited release fashion and I have big hopes for these ladys! As I set this up the seeds have been soaking for 12hrs. After around 24 I will drop into their new homes! Excited to use my new veg tent AND these new raintec bags! Looking forward to some neat photos!!!
____________________________________________
After a 24hr soak all seeds had cracked so into the coco they went! I strung up the space heater and am running it on low to keep tent around 80 degrees. I didn't have the humidity bags but i'm trying these Tupperware containers instead. Dunno if it will work, but the tent is like 90 RH anyway so it should be ok! These seeds just need to like the soil and they should take off! I'm careful and thoughtful this time. I hope for another success!!
____________________________________________
After another 24 hours they are all up outta the soil and soakin up some sun!!!! SOOOO HAPPYYYYYY!!!!!🙌🙌🙌
All systems grow!!! They happy, I'm happy!
Giving a little water daily! Took off humidity domes today
🥛🍪🥛🍪🥛🍪🥛🍪🥛🍪🥛🍪🥛🍪🥛🍪
Well. This hobby is never a sure thing. I'm pretty sure I either overwatered a bit or gave them to much supplements. I think in the future i'll skip calmag and rapidstart in bushdoctor. also water every other day. I think i got over anxious. Hoping they snap out of it!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Ha!!! I'm just a negative nilly! I was rushing things. These ladies are GREAT!!!! I think after that first set of leaves the plants takes a few days to grow that tap root THEN pushes that leaf growth!!!! Nearing the end of the week I couldn't be happier with things!!! I added a ghetto DIY humidifier to to get tent up till I can water plants a bit more, but this new tent is working out AWESOME! I'm hoping my time lapse is working now too so we will have a nice little treat when things are done!
A happy home and these girls are doing what nature intended! 🚀🚀🚀
______________________________________________________________
The time has gotten away from me! I was over here using a dropper on these ladies when i realized the needed a full-blown drain to waste FEED!!!!
I consulted the feed chart and stuck them on a week 2 regimen. I learned the 3gal pots hold 2 containers in veg and 3 in flower. good to know for measurements.
There was a little yelllowing of the leaf on 2 plants but i think its from the neglect! Lets see what a delicious meal brings about!!!
______________________________________________________________
They aren't 100% happy, but I'm hoping they grow out of it! Not sure why one plant has all they yellow spots when 3 others don't
They also arent drying out fast, i think it was a bit to early for a drain to waste. Struggling to decide when to water again
Little LST to start the week off!!!!
____________________________________________
So the pots are still pretty damp but its been like 4 day since i watered so I decided to do a drain to waste to get this weeks feed in.
Run off was good, roots were all through the bottom of the bag. I doubt I drowned them, but we will see in the coming days.
They really popped back nicely from the LST and I feel like I did a good job and see the vision! Lets see how much control I really have tho.....
______________________________________________
24hrs after the LST I went back for more!!! I took some of the fat fan leafs off and moved the ties out even more. REGULATING on these bitches!!!!
They took the abuse like a champ and now I have some nicely developing plants
______________________________________________
I pushed it to far and broke the main stem on the last plant I was adjusting! I really hope a little tape will help graph it back on! Gonna have to see how this plays out. But I think everything is fine!
______________________________________________
At the end of this week I got a nice watering off and have learned that a 3gal batch is perfect for veg cycle. I did some minor adjustments to LST and trimmed like 5 leafs. I even pushed the broken stem down a bit! I think I have done a much better LST than previous and I'm looking forward to seeing its results!
Well when i peeked in there I got super worried becuase they had BLOWN UP!!!! such big girls! But after learning lessons from The Defoliator I knew I could clean them up!!!
The result was very nice!! I even went in and did some minor LST. 1 plant is a bit bigger than the rest, but really I think this is definitly gonna be the most sculpted plants i have made!
Everything is going along just GREAT!!!!!
________________________________________________________________________
The week has gone by so fast!!! My flower tent is hogging all the glory with amazing buds, but these Night Owl seeds are EXPLODING!!!! There is a significant difference between the biggest plant and the smallest one, but I'm continuing to develop an even canopy and attempting to tame these bitches down!!! They are so ready for a bigger tent but I cant get them moved just yet... I'm really hopefull next week will be the move!
I supercropped the hell outta them! It was very nice to have a container of SCs and LST ties to pin everything down!!! Def invest in a 3D printer!!!
They got to get in the big tent because now THAT is the small tent lol!
My friend gave me a bigger tent for flower so now I no longer have to worry about Veg Space.
Its hard to tell but I made some big decisions here and went out and lollopped these girls hard!!!
I'm trying real hard no to get alot of LARF and REALLY concentrate all bud formation to the top of the canopy.
I should have done a better job documenting it, but i was so concentrated on beating these girls up!!!
___________________________________________
I did quite a bit of tucking and gave em a midweek water They seem like they are all a bit diffrent timeline. its annoying, but I hope everything is just great.
They are getting a heavy feed but as long as they dont get burn I'm not worried!
Did a bit of loli-popping and some defoliation on the little guys. They are moved into the new tent and adjusting nicely!
Next week my NEW MARS HYDRO LIGHT! should be here and I'm pumped for that!
I think theses are gonna be some big girls!!!
PH 6.1 and PPM was 1220/550 (yeah! got a ppm meter!)
_______________________________________________________________________
I got my new Marshydro light installed! Its fantastic and after work the first night it was AMAZING to see how the plants had perked up for it!!! Its a very nice study light and totally makes me feel better about having a bigger light!!!
The ladies are having a bit of trouble but I still think things are gonna be just fine. I'll put some pics up of the trouble next week
__________________________________________________________________________
I took em out for a water and realized how much sparkly they are getting! There are some ugly leaves and the plants are a shade lighter green than i want, but really things are going nicely!
I gave the small plant a little booster stand and its canopy is now level with the others but its like 2 weeks behind I feel like. definitely frustrating having 1 plant lag behind the others but it is what it is!
I'm struggling with maintaining a regular humidity level
The new light is working out great!
The plants are growing at much different rates. If they were all as good as the best plant I'd be happier
It's gonna be interesting to see how things finish!
___________________________________________________________________
So I made an attempt to save them/balance them. I fed them with just ph'd water to give them some time and incase they needed to chill a bit
The runoff wasnt over 6.5 so I dont think they are locked up. I'll be back to feeding them again, but the difference in each plant has me concerned!
Well the plant in flower is DANK AF!!!! Then theres 1 lagging behind it and then the shorty and tall boi are both just now starting to flower.
I feed then the same feed as last week, I might kick up bloom a bit later this week, but I think the plants are happy and really besides the lag and yellow leaves they are
some gorgeous looking plants!!!! great node formation! lots of tricomes and lots of flower!!!!!
I think this bud is gonna be RICH!!!!
____________________________________________________
Defoliated the little guy, it should help.
I'm just sorta holding in this "flower" feed.
Still sticking to the same "flower" feed I've been holding in.
I will probably chop these in different times.
But they are all starting to look GREAT!
You can tell my friend the defoliator stopped by! He really got em looking good!
____________________________________________________________
Ok up until now I've been a bit pessimistic about this grow. But they are all finally well in bloom and looking at them one-on-one its impossible not to love them.
They are all VERY individual grows, but they have BEAUTIFUL nugs forming up on ALL plants!!!
As a bonus, I checked the top dog and she's ready for the chop!
I gave her a bit of RIPEN with this feed and I'll probably take her down this weekend and wait for the others to finish.
___________________________________________________________
These plants are finishing very nicely! I'm getting pretty happy as they near the finish line. Def gonna take down 1 plant in a day or two, possibly two!
_____________________________________________________________
Really I feel like things are ahead of schedule. I never intended to be done on week 9. I decided to do one more feed as the ripen seems to be giving them a very nice fade! The slow pokes are gaining on the finished plants and i'm hoping they are only about a week behind. But again there isnt a rush to finish. One benifit to this big flower tent is i think I can still continue to cycle the tents even if a couple plants need to chill a bit longer. We'll see what happens next week
Paitence is a virture!
I got so far as to set up for the chop but decided to finish the week with a Ripen Flush.
Its already Wed, just a few more days to see what happens, then maybe 10 days on the 2nd.
The other 2 need maybe this week and next week then a flush week i'm thinking.
Theres no rush but i'm anxious to chop em soon!
___________________________________________________
Fuck it! I harvested the finished plant. The colas were epic! Its gonna be a nice yield, I'm pretty confident its close to 4oz. Will Chop other plant sooner than later I think.
We coast on down the mountain. I'm ripen/flushing the 2 small girls this week and letting them finish and taking down the 2nd plant tonight!
They probably could have gone a bit longer but I'm ready to move on and they are still gonna be a great smoke!
______________________________________________________________
Another feed of ripen. The trichomes on the short plant are about there the tall one isn't tho.
I'm frustrated b/c i need the grow bags!
______________________________________________________
Flushing and getting there! Leaves are fading and tricomes are changing! I have the next gen crowded in there too... these girls need to finish!
Also hoping I'm almost done drying the first plant too.
___________________________________________________
Dry isnt quite ready a week into it. i can wait 10 days. I did chop of a little bud to try and ooo baby! it singed my nose when I opened the grinder! So delicious! I'm way excited now!
Just waiting out the last 2 although at this point I think I can pull em. Just finishing the week
Well it was frustrating that they all grew at different rates and different sizes, but that wont stop me from getting NightOwl again! The buds are the best looking I have seen! Very excited to see what cure brings!
These plants earned my respect! I wasnt that thrilled with em, but a bit of curing and holy shit!!!!!
I smoked a morning bowl and took a shower.... I washed my hair 3 times!!!!! lol space cadet!
I love the firm dense buds with the vibrant orange hairs! And again while its not the prettiest bud it REALY packs a wallop!
I gave some to a friend and they called me right back and got twice as much!
Looking forward to my next Nightowl grow!!!!
Looking good brother.
Your stuff always looks frosty as s**t tho, so no surprise.
How do you get away with such high PPM and still look healthy, I always seem to nute burn around 1000?
@GuerrillaNo_4, i'm not sure either lol. I was worried to so I bought a PPM meter and while I havent changed anything... seeing how high the water is makes me nervous!
But so far my issues have stemmed from not enough! verse to much!
I read through diaires and see some run way hotter and some run WAY lesser!
Im about to attempt a Megacrop grow and those PPMs will be WAAAAAAAAY less! But my friends are having REALLY good results!
@MrHightimes, Getting steep! I know how that one goes... getting bit by the bud bug can make us spend a whole lot of $ on this hobby of ours! Good luck, everything is looking awesome!! 🔥🔥🔥
@SuggaShane, i'm a little concerned on this grow, but i'm learning not to stress things too much... i'm doing all i can and if thats not enough its ok lol
