Bubba Kush/Blueberry/True OG

Week 1 down and they are already transplanted into the 1 gallon nursery pots. Nothing exciting to note, normal growth rate so far.

Day 14 in the books and we are seeing some improvements. I'm especially happy that the Bubba Kush is the biggest (one of my favorite strains). I gave the first Nature's Pride Veg top dressing at 1 tbsp per gallon and topped them today. Pretty uneventful at this stage but exciting nonetheless.

Week 3 went by on cruise control. I removed some large fan leaves blocking lower bud sites and I topped all 3 plants to encourage them to grow wider, rather than taller. The Bubba Kush is the biggest girl in the tent, and I am super happy about that. The second largest is the Blueberry and the runt is the True OG.

Week 4 down for these photoperiods under the TS600. The Bubba Kush is outgrowing the other others in shape, height and fan leaf production. Healthy happy growth. Blueberry showed signs of wilting, after closing inspection noticed a single spider mite under the lowest fan leaf. Increased air flow by adding a fan blowing directly on the plants, crushed the spider and removed the single web that was hanging. Watching and waiting for signs of more spider mites but nothing yet after increasing the air flow.

Beginning week 5 for the Photoperiods, and their doing alright. Growth is slow in these 1 gallon pots - I'm preparing to transplant them soon once I have the room. I might have to set up the 2x4 and the TSL2000 shortly... I moved the Bubba Kush and the Blueberry under the TS1000 temporarily because I wanted to see if they liked it more than the TS600. Of course they did, because they exploded with growth and they started rapidly pushing out new fan leaves. Heavy defoliation again for these girls while the True OG stayed in the TS600 tent... she is growing so slowly.. might just toss her, but i'm not entirely convinced to do so.

Beginning week 6 for these photoperiods from Canuk seeds. They have spent the last 6 weeks growing in a 1 gallon pot and they are in desperate need of a transplant. Now that the next round of seedlings have sprouted, and the Fastbuds tent is 2-3 weeks away from harvesting - I'll try to get these girls transplanted by the end of the week. Also, I found these LST clips on Etsy and I thought I'd give them a try. I was so intrigued that I bought myself a 3D printer so I could start making my own growing accessories! Definitely won't be buying them again, I'll be making my own. Pics 3 and 4 are only 24 hours apart after initial bending. Unreal!

These poor girls still aren't transplanted but I've made an effort to purchase more soil and pick it up. I have a plan in the works for my permanent set up, since I just wasn't happy with this one. Details coming soon! They are in desperate need of transplanting! And showing signs of deficiencies. Any guesses? I top dressed again and then realized something was wrong. My guess was a cal-mag issue.. so I purchased some Fox Farm 'bushdoctor' organic certified cal-mag and dosed at 1 tbsp per 4L of water, removed all dead, diseased or dying leaves - will upgrade pot size and step up my love for these girls

Finally back with a proper update. Thanks for tuning back in if you've been following along! My apologies for the lack of updates. Some changes to the veg area include a new light - I swapped out the Mars Hydro TS600 for an Optic 1XL LED 100w non-dimmable version. I'm super pumped about this! The girls love the light and are even happier after transplanting to 2 gallon pots. Will transplant once more before flowering in the OTHER new set up. I fed these girls a nice 50+ hour brewed compost tea. The tea consisted of 1 cup Bokashi Pro-Gro fermented fertilizer, 1 cup Worm Castings, 1 tbsp Kelp and 2 tbsp Organic molasses. Growth exploded and I'll prepare to take my first ever cuttings for clones before flip because the Bubba Kush and Blueberry were my last Feminzed seeds and I'd like to keep them in rotation if they turn out to be keeper phenotypes. The entire grow has changed substantially. Everything is completely under the stairs... from seed starting to drying. I can fit it all! This was super important in my attempt to keep things minimal but perpetual and I think I've achieved that. Left side is the 2x2x4.5 veg tent with the Optic 1XL. Beside it on the right is the new flowering set up. 2x3x4.5 Flower tent with the divider removed and an Optic 2 Gen 3 205w LED. On-top of both tents is the P90 Propagation tent that's 2x3x2 with dual 24" Sunblaster T5 Fluorescent lights. So, what do you think?
