I planted all 3 seeds directly into coco February 13.
February 17 - Peyote Critical sprouted
February 20 - Blue Dream sprouted
February 23 - Dr CBD sprouted
Will consider Monday February 22 the first day of veg for all the plants just for the purposes of this diary.
Barney's Farm Peyote Critical was first to pop after 4 days.
Garden of Green Blue dream popped 3 days later.
Seedsman Dr CBD popped 3 days after Blue Dream. (Took 10 days)
Will see how the staggered time to germinate will effect how they grow. So far just watering very lightly when the medium gets dry.
Recieved my Viparspectea XS1500 on the 28th and am loving the change from the purple lights so far. We will see how the girls like it!
Felt like running a bit of an experiment this week with a worm tea to hopefully introduce some benificial bacteria into the medium
1 cup Gaia Green Worm Castings
2 tbsp Molasses
1 tsp Gaia Green All Purpose
0.5 tsp Gaia Green Power Bloom
March 4 - Brewed in a 5gal bucket with air stone for ~30hrs and filled a water bottle to divide 500ml between the 3 plants
March 5th - think I may have slightly burned the plants? The new growth is very light and the lower tips of the peyote critical are turning light green
March 6 - the plants are still alive lol not sure if they got burnt. I can't see the recipe being too strong for them as it consists of only small amounts of WC, AP and PB.
Since I think I was over watering during the seedling/early veg of my first grow I'll try to keep a log of the plant weights. And water when I see they're relatively light. Last time I watered was when I fed them the worm tea March 4.
March 8 - nothing done
March 9 - nothing done
March 10 - nothing done (PC 125g, BD 145g, CBD 145g)

March 22 - nothing done
March 23 - watered (PC 100 + 150g, BD 107 + 143g, CBD 130 + 120g). Some of the lower growth looks sickly. I think they're experiencing some sort of deficiency.. maybe nitrogen. Will lower my pH to about 6.0 going forward and see how they react.

March 31 - transplanted into 5gal fabric pots. Added 2 tsp of GG 4-4-4 and 0.5 tsp of GG 2-8-4. Used Dynomyco for the first time, just sprinkled onto the roots when transplanting. Watered at 6.0 pH
April 1 - plants died :( lol jk
April 2 - nothing done
April 3 - nothing done
April 4 - watered at 6.0 pH. Tied down the plants a little in order to set them up to fully fill the grow space eventually
April 5 - watered at 6.0 pH ~ 20⁰C. Tried to keep the water away from the center of the plants, wetting where the roots would be extending to. Tied down the PC a little more and took off any lower/dying growth that was touching the medium.
April 6 - nothing done
April 7 - nothing done
Went on a ski trip this week, so unfortunately I wasnt able to take photos of the girls. Left the watering up to MamaKronicX and she crushed it for the time I was away... goes to show you how hassle free growing in organic amended coco can be 🙏
April 19 - nothing done. I came back from the ski trip and was surprised to see the girls this big. MamaKronic took care of them beautifully I'd say!
420 - topped the Blue Dream and CBD to hopefully get them as bushy as the Peyote Critical. Set up the ScrOG net. Increased the light to 50%.
April 21 - nothing done
April 22 - watered at 6.3 pH 17⁰C. Tied a couple tops of the PC down under the net.
April 23 - nothing done
April 24 - nothing done
April 25 - canopy maintenance. Kept tops below the net
Not sure if it's a nutrient deficiency/excess or water temps. Please refer to pics. 2/3 plants are showing light green and yellow tips. New growth seems light in colour as well.
pH - 5.9 to 6.1
Daytime temp - 75⁰ to 79⁰
Night temp - 67⁰ to 70⁰
Coco with Gaia Green 444 and 284
April 26 - watered at 6.5 and 19⁰C
April 27 - nothing done
April 28 - nothing done
April 29 - nothing done
April 30 - watered at 6.8 and 19⁰C. Top dressed with 2 tbsp/gal of medium. Cleared up some lower branches and leaves. Topped the CBD at one top to even out growth.
May 1 - nothing done
May 2 - nothing done
May 3 - added my smaller purple led (113W from wall). Now pulling 216W with the XS1500 at around 75%.
May 4 - watered at 6.6 pH and 19⁰C around 2 gallons between the 3. Had a significant amount of runoff so will have to water slightly less than this for slight runoff.
May 5 - nothing done
May 6 - nothing done
May 7 - topped one top of the PC that was getting up past the rest of the tops. Removed lower growth of the BD for better access for watering
May 8 - nothing done
May 9 - plants were really dry, wilting etc. Watered at 6.3 pH and 18⁰C. About 2 gallons with slight run off. Closed off the vent holes with furnace filters to block out light leakage. Will flip to flower May 10.
May 10 - flipped the girls into flower 12-12
May 11 - nothing done
May 12 - watered at 6.6 pH and 18⁰C til slight run off

May 19 - nothing done
May 20 - watered at 6.8pH and 18⁰C til slight run off. Top dressed lightly with bone meal.
May 21 - nothing done
May 22 - nothing done
May 23 - watered at 6.5pH and 21⁰C til slight run off. Mixed granular bone meal and epsom salts into water. Trimmed up the lower growth most and some of the larger fan leaves for better air circulation and light penetration.
Not much done, watering every 3 days at 6.5 pH and around 17-18⁰C. Final top dress done June 3 with about 1tbsp/gal of power bloom 2-8-4. Cleaned up some lower growth that wasn't getting much light. The ladies seem cool and happy 😎
Everything's basically on autopilot. Just watering when dry, at around 17-19⁰C and pH of 6.5-6.6. The buds are thickening up and really starting to smell nice
Went on little fishing trip on the 30th and thought the girls would be super dehydrated when I came back on the 3rd. To my surprise, they looked as good as when I left them. I read somewhere that they tend to take less water as they mature in late flower, so this makes sense.
The colors on the CBD and Peyote Critical are really beautiful, purples with splashes autumn colors here and there. The PC is showing signs that it's ready with the browning tips of her sugar leaves, and about 50/50 amber trics. Unfortunately the Blue Dream isn't as close, so I'll wait till they're all nice and ready before chopping them.
July 11 will be a full 8 weeks. Hopefully I'll pull the plug before then, but I'm okay with waiting as well.
We're almost there!! They're all smelling super dank. I can tell the buds aren't as dense or large as the previous grow but stunning nonetheless. Will chop sometime next week. Down to watering once every 5 to 6 days, 6.6pH and 18⁰C.
July 13.. harvest day yall! Just over 9 weeks of flower, and day 64 it all came down. Didn't water for 5-6 days to help them dry up before chop. What're peoples thoughts on this? I found it a little difficult to clean up the buds since the leaves were sort of droopy. So I did a light wet trim and will clean up any sugar leaves when the all dry up.
The smell is incredible. The whole house smelled like heaven once the process was done. Cant wait to see how they taste 🙏
