First Grow

Continuing to add pH 6.2-6.5 water every other day, no attentional amendments yet. I worked my way up to about a cup of water every other day. Lux is currently around 15k, and the light is at about 1/3 strength. Struggling to keep the temperatures regulated but its staying between 70-80. The amnesia is really slow to get going,. I've been using less water in the amnesia because it doesn't seem to need it yet.

Looks like they each put a few inches on this week. I'm up to 1.5 cups of water per plant every 2 days. Still no additional amendments past the first FFOF planting. I think next week I'll probably top dress with more FFOF mixed with Dr Earth. I am starting to see some light spots on one of the leaves. Check out the photo above. It's not very prominent, so I'm sure sure if there is a deficiency yet.

At the end of last week, I top amended about 1.5 tbs per 3 gallon pot and dramatically increased my watering. I water til minimal runoff now every 2 days and its pretty dry by then. I've gotten a lot more aggressive with my LST and the plants are taking off like crazy. I didn't think I was in the flowing phase yet, but when I took the photos for this post, it certainly looks that way. I do have a yellow leaf or two, but I'm currently thinking that this is a previous deficiency that I fixed with the top amend, not a current problem. In short - Started week with 1.5 tbs Dr Earth Life per 3gallon pot - Water until minimal runoff - LST as much as possible at this stage

So I think this is the week where I started to go a bit wrong. The Dr Earth I added on week 4 fixed my nutrient problem, however, I was impatient and added a bit more. As a result, I had 2-3 crispy, yellow leaves on the Quarter Pounder in the middle. Since then, I've upped my watering a bit and it seems to be fine. This week * Lights still at 15" * Giving about a gallon of water every other day, each. At this stage, I get barely any runoff, but stop when runoff is consistent. * Top dressed w/ more FFOF with some myco mixed in. See video for a better view of the nute burn.

Things are moving right along! We're definitely into flower now. All three plants are flowering strong and the Amnesia is starting to spread out. The other two are going to be very dense plants. I think perhaps I should have started LST a bit sooner on the Quarter Pounder. It's so dense I can't really separate it. They are taking a lot of water. I feel like I could be doing 1.5 gallons each and it barely goes to run off. Is that a good thing? * Watering a bit over 1 gallon each every 2 days * Top fed 1.5 tbs each 3 gal pot with Dr Earth Life. This is under the recommended amount but last time I got nute burn. * Top dressed with additional FFOF

I think this is the first week where I've started to have some issues on just about every plant. The buds still look awesome and healthy, but I'm being a bit paranoid that the rest is gonna go down quick. They all have leaves that are starting to yellow a bit. Temp: Trying to push the temp up. Its 70-80 but usually closer to 70. Humidity: Closer to 60, trying to get it down with a new dehumidifier soon. Critical Kush - Minor yellowing Quarter Pounder - Had some spots on this on Thursday and starting to yellow. I skipped the Dr Earth Life in the previous feeding because it looked like it had some burn, but now I think its suffering. Amnesia - On Sunday, after watering on Saturday, the Amnesia seemed to take a pretty big hit. A lot of the leaves dried up and got crispy and I'm not quite sure why. Check out the video for an overview of some of the issues and let me know if you have suggestions!

This week, I'm going to keep closer tabs on daily activities. All plants are showing signs of deficiencies. Monday 1/18 - "Flushed" all plants with Clearex. I did about 2.5 gallons per plant and I normally water about 1. I think in general, I'm going to up my watering from here on out if they survive. Tues 1/19 - No watering. Still got a good bit of moisture in the pots. All three plants look a bit healthier. Wed 1/20 - All plants healed by Biden lol. Just in case that fails, I top amended with FFOF mixed with like 2 tbs of Dr Earth, spread across soil for all 3 pots. I watered 3, 3gallon plants with 5 gallons total. Apx 1.5 gallons per plant and they all ran off. Plants looking healthier than they did pre-flush, but I think i'll need to go ahead feed the full amount of Dr Earth at the start of week 9. Thurs 1/21 - Plants are looking pretty good. Critical Kush leaves are turning a bit purple, could be phosphorus def. Friday 1/22 - Normally I would have watered, but the top 2 inches felt damp and the moisture meter shows 2-3 towards the bottom. Gonna give it another day Sat 1/23 - Feed and watering time! I went ahead and did 4 Tablespoons of Dr Earth Life in each 3 gallon pot. The most I've fed to date. This week seems to have been recovering fairly well. Check out the video for a decent tour. In the video I said I fed 4 teaspoons, but it was tablespoons. 😵

Mon - 1/25/21 The top feed + 5 Tbs of Dr Earth life per 3gallon pot seems to be doing pretty well. Today I'm just watering with 6.2 water. Tuesday - 1/26/21 Still looking good, no action Wed - 1/27/21 - Soil was still wet enough that I didn't need to water. Will resume tomorrow Thur - 1/28/21 - Watered 5 gallons across all 3 Fri - 1/29/21 - No water Sat - 1/30/21 - No water Sunday - 1/31/21 - Watered up! Overall, I'm pretty happy! The leaves have healed up a bit and the buds are super dense. Not quite as frosty as I'd like, but I plan to do some Fox Farm Big bloom next week.

2/1 - Mon - Nada 2/2 - Tues - Nada 2/3 - Wed - First feeding with Big Bloom. Bottle calls for 60ml per gallon and I used 4 gallons. I used apx 150ml this time around and they seem to have done well. 2/4 - Thur - Nada 2/5 - Fri - Watered with 3.5 gallons. 2/6 - 2/7 - Nada 2/8 - More big bloom. 140ML for all 3 pots.

Nothing too special at this point, just watering and the occasional big bloom. I think Im about ready to harvest and move to the next grow. The leaves are a bit thin.
