First Grow - C Kush, W Cake, P Punch

RichBud5 Critical Kush reaching for the sky!!! Towering over the rest- could be a good sign? Mimosa evo died so going to stick with these three. Got a little mould grow on topsoil so added a fan to circulate air. Growing conditions quite closed off from free flowing air so interested to see if there’s enough circulation to enable healthy growth.

RichBud5 Slow growth- no nutrients yet so made the purchase. Got Remo nutrients coming soon- spent hours watch John Burfelo on YouTube- love that bloke he’s a great guy to watch. Total passion! Anyway- topped them, maybe a little too keen but really want these to bush out and fill space. Understand patience is key. I’ll move these into a bigger tent once I get it sorted. Limited height so need to squeeze in my tent- hoping I don’t have to cut into my ceiling 🤣 such a good tent I can’t justify buying a new smaller one.

RichBud5 Tried to use this metal thing to pin Critical down from growing too high too quick. But she’s looking ok. Wedding cake bushing out, massive first fan leaves. Purple not looking so great, showing some unhealthy leaves, tried more water, tried less water. The ph indicator is useless so bought some phdown just as a feeling she’s too acidic. Who knows- winging it as usual 😉

RichBud5 Critical - lost the metal ring way too faffy. Decided to pin down via wire instead. Again she’s growing way quicker than the other two, not doing anything different either. Wedding cake looking good, bushing out even more. Punch still tiny- looks like I stunted her growth early on as I see the development so much smaller than the other two. Nutes now going in with every water- once a week. Tuesdays 😎 Amazing to see the different characteristics so early on. The green thumb is back.

RichBud5 More LST and pushing more growth til I flip into flower. Just started a new batch in the smaller tent to keep a cycle going to thought if I flip into flower next week they’ll be almost ready to cut down when the others are too big for Tiny tent. Critical still smashing it. She just wants to go up! Wedding bush cake loves it too. Can’t complain. Purple the runt baby is looking healthier but just tiny in comparison. Bless her, you gotta feel for her!

RichBud5 Not too much to show, just sat back and let Em have it. Pretty sure this is 14 days after I flipped into flower, missed a few days here and there. Nutes all going in now with biobizz bloom as a bell why not? Chuck it in and see how she goes. Plucked a few leaves - but leaving purple as is- don’t want to stress it anymore. Looking healthy- as they’re looking like this I haven’t decided to do anything different. Purple still small and looks like it’ll always be the runt. Happy days.

RichBud5 Looking good!!! You can see by the Birdseye shot how dominant that critical kush really is. Wedding is doing well and super healthy but my gosh when I look at this pic it really shows. Bought another vipaspecter 2000 light and added that to the mix- just seemed one wasn’t enough. Man they’re beautiful! Amazing To see how different they all are. Purple now coming into show now too. Albeit tiny !

RichBud5 Boom! More growth- still looking happy right??? Mad I looked under the pots and the roots have smashed through the fabric pots and are sucking up all the water left over from feeding! Damn the girls are drinking now. 1 gallon between every few days. Still adding nutes into every feed- going to start getting expensive nute bills! I did leave wedding to do her thing and LSTd more critical to stop her growing so high but today I pulled back weddings colas to allow more light through. Stripped her back a bit too. I’ve left purple punch to be. Some people say defoliate, some don’t, so I’ll put it to the test.

RichBud5 Still some solid growth with 2/3 the babies... Didn't defoliate too much on the underside of them, I don't know, when I kept picking at them each time thinking 'oh ill just get that little bit' I thought I'd just be shocking them.... I defoliated CK and WC WAY more than purple, she was so tiny I barely touched her. Wedding cake as sticky and frosty as ever, can see why it's called it! Gorgeous !

RichBud5 Really getting there now... Gonna pop a question out soon to see when it looks like I need to harvest... Was a little too heavy handed on the purple Punch and split her right where I first topped her.... Taped her up but she doesn't seem fazed, always has been small lol, poor little thing. Critical Kush leaves turning yellow, could have been a calmag deficiency from what I read but I also read it can be like that towards the end of flower. Anyway - it's gonna be time to start flushing soon I think! Will be topping up the co2 enhancer this week. When these are cut down, they're gonna be replaced with some Tropicana Banana and Laughing Buddha that have been in veg for 8 weeks already! Needs to be soon else they'll outgrow their tiny tent. !!

RichBud5 Realising it’s time to start thinking about the flush. And infact during this week I gave them their last feed and decided to flush them with flawless finish a few days after. Gonna pop a question out regarding the set up but I think I know the answer. I bought a job lot grow kit from an abandoned storage container, it came with three set ups, two big and one small (I.e. 6 inch fans and rhino pros and 1 4 inch etc....) the 4 inch rhino was doing a great job at expelling the smell but now I’m moved that into a smaller tent the big 6 in her has gone in this. And it smells. Tried using the other 6 inch rhino filter and it still smells. Looks Time to buy a new one! Also need a dehumidifier as I’m not just starting to get condensation!?!? What’s that about!! Expensive hobby this old game if you wanna be good 😂hope the goes is worth it! Anyway hope you enjoy these last pics. They’re all filling out nicely and tris are - Mixed on Critical Kush Cloudy on Purple Punch Clear on Wedding cake. Gonna leave them all another 2 days then chop all at once. ✌️🏽 peace!

RichBud5 Would have loved to keep them on for longer. But had an issue with a new grow that we’re getting too big. All in all- first grow happy!

RichBud5 Man I loved how this one came out. Smaller than the CK but overall much more beautiful. Fatter nugs and covered with Crystals. Not as dense as I’d like but will alter next time. Smokes like a dream baby !!!!!!

RichBud5 Holy fuck I smoked this after a bottle of wine and went into another dimension. First time ever on some Ganj. Jesus. Wish I could recreate that. Runt of the group but by no means a crap smoke. Small and cute- you did so well PP. I just started another 4 to keep the strain going and give her another chance!!!! Small but mighty.
