Cap'n style is the style of grow I choose with this grow. OG kush from ILGM is the strain I choose. Irrigating will be done daily by hand until bud cycle. Then irrigating will be done with a self built self irrigating system on a timer. The PH of the Water will be 5.8-6.2. Nutrients will be Dyna Gro grow and bloom. Also will be using recharge. The lights will be 50w flo during seedling, 120w LED during veg and a combo of 400w hps and 1200w LED growstar that draws 250w from the wall for flower. The OG kush in soil is going to be a gift for my best friend. Will grow her for about a month. 3/10/21 put 2 OG Kush in rockwool 3/14/21 seedlings poking through 3/15/21 roots poking through bottom of rockwool. 3/16/21 transplanted both kush one in soil, one is staying in rockwool. Havnt got my rockwool croutons yet so I broke up some that I have.

3/31/21 Beginning week 3 of veg I'm very pleased with growth. Will continue to irrigate 1 gallon per day for now. I'm planning on once a week for now with recharge, so tonight will get another dose. Realized plant grew to light so moved back to 20 inches. 4/2/21 little oggie went to her new home. Friend was delighted. 4/3/21 roots already showing in bottom. Very white. 4/5/21 second topping. 4/6/21 thank goodness I didn't FIM it!! 😁

4/7/21 week 4 of veg, 5 of life. Last weeks topping I thought I fim my plant but didn't. Topped 2 more times this morning and re-potted to #2 nursery pot. Plant seems to rebound from topping pretty well. Will get dose of recharge later this evening. Roots looking beautiful. 4/8/21 topped the next 2 branches. Plant is growing very well. 4/9/21 I figured topping plant so much would slow it down some. But it's grown 4 inches in 2 days. 4/10/21 first sign of roots in number 2 nursery pot.

4/21/21 Week 6 of veg 7 of life. Re-potted to #5 nursery pot. Gave first trim to remove underneath growth. Old leaves had small brown spots. Added 1/8 tsp/gal calmag. Plant seems to be growing very well. Will increase irrigation to 2 gallons per day. Most likely will be putting her on her self feeder soon. Will give weekly dose of recharge later this evening. 4/22/21 topped 4 more sites. This will hopefully be my last topping. 4/24/21 roots showing in bottom of pot. Plant is 27 inches across and 15 inches high. I lost count of the tops, I'm guessing around 40-50. 4/27/21 discontinued calmag in midweek. Did top in 2 more spots yesterday.

4/28/21 week 7 of veg 8 of life. Plant is getting to be a beast. Last week ended up topping more then I planned, and from the looks of things I will probably top at least one more time. I am going to up the nutrients to 550 ppm this week. I am also planning on giving recharge 2x per week. I am increasing irrigation to 4 gallons per. She is drinking about a gallon every 2.5 days. 4/29/21 gave final trim under canopy before flower cycle. Plant looks like a table 😃 4/30/21 I topped 4 more spots to keep my canopy even. I harvested my Super Skunk (you really need to try this strain) so now big Oggie has her own tent. For now she is under 1200w Growstar (250w actual) LED. She looks like she will engulf my tent. 5/1/21 gave 2 quarts recharge 5/2/21 backed nutrients down to 450ppm plant showing a little nute burn on a leaf. 5/3/21 set up self irrigating system. 8 gallons (holds max 14 gallons) water ph 6.01. With nutrients at 470ppm. Plant is now irrigating itself 2x per day 15 minutes each watering. Will be doing daily checks on ph/nutrients.

5/19/21 week 2 of flower. Plant continues to grow. Hopefully stretch will be done soon. Will recieve 2 quarts Recharge later today. She's drinking about a gallon of water per day. Trimmed a few leaves and shoots off the bottom to increase airflow. After serious consideration, I've decided to add a scrog net to help keep canopy lower. Also help with air flow and some smaller branches to reach the canopy. I hope and I think she will endure the stress. She seems like a very strong plant. She will also get a foliar feeding tonight at lights out. 5/20/21 fluid check PH 5.98 tds 650 plant rebounded from scrog quite well. 5/21/21 fluid check PH 5.98 TDS 600. Water in reserves is depleted by half. Will need to top off later this afternoon. 5/22/21 PH 5.95 tds 685 plant continues to grow. I see little budlets now. Gave 2 quarts recharge and foliar feeding at lights out. 5/23/21 PH 5.9 tds 653 I will trim up under the canopy today, also need to change water. Changed water ph 6.01 tds 735. 5/24/21 ph 6.03 tds 678 5/25/21 ph 6.1 tds 640 plant is drinking more now. Reserves are depleted by half (approximately 4 gallons). she is taking over my 4x4 tent. Will top off the reserves later this afternoon. Added 4 gallons nutrient water ph 5.93 tds 740. I was off on water intake. Plant is drinking 2 gallons per day not 1 gallon. I'm running out of room in my tent. My LED is almost touching the ceiling, and the HPS is about 6 inches away. This is getting serious 😳

Holy friggen crap! I DID IT!!! A 1 POUND PLANT!!This grow was tough. It wasn't easy and I don't recommend it for a beginner. This plant grew out of control. I'm suprised I didn't end up with any mold. The Temps got out of hand for awhile along with the extreme humidity! I seriously needed a taller tent. But I learned. This grow was also educational for me. I got 20 ounces of good bud, 60 grams of hash leaves to make my brownies, and 89grams of small larf that will be turned into bubble hash. This plant went through 2 quarts bloom nutrients. The actual wattage for lights were 650w the 1200w LED only draws 250w. **2 week dry/cure update** So I dried plant for 3 and 4 days. Yes I had to speed up the dry process as I was in middle of moving. So it took 2 days to trim. Curing has been 2 weeks now in Mason jars with 62% Bavida packs. Flavor is of hash and lemons. The smell smells like weed.. The buzz is very couch lock. After the cure and numerous samples, I'm still at 18.75 ounces. I have found a couple seeds which I'm surprised not alot of seeds. Looks like I'll be using OG Kush for the rest of the year. Thank you all who followed and commented and liked, I greatly appreciate it! 🙏

Trim bud wet and hang to dry. When it feels dry enough to smoke but it wont smoke properly I get a cooler or a box and throw all the bud in together, and shut the lid for about half and hour, give or take a few. The weed will rehydrate, but it is important you dont leave the lid shut longer than it takes to rehydrate the bud. Once it is rehydrated, then you open the lid up and let the top start to dry. Then move the bottom to the top and let that start to dry. Repeat this until your bud is dry enough to smoke, then jar and burp when you feel the bud is or if its starting to rehydrate again. This method is called sweating. A lot of big grows dry this way, and it's the best way for my large harvests. Smoke tastes and smells great after this., but like I say, it's important you get the box or cooler open as soon as it rehydrates. If you leave to long it will take on a hay smell....
the end.
