Finally the end of the sixth week. I had very bright, slightly yellow leaves because i had given too much light and too little fertilizer. The lamp was then turned down to 80W and raised to 50cm height, so that the plant could calm down again. I also corrected the amount of fertilizer. Now she looks happier again ๐Ÿ˜‡ Thanks also to @Seedler, I "tucked" the leaves under the buds and it worked very well. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ Grow Hard. Go Pro.

12/02/22: The colas are heaving with heavy buds and more orange sites are springing up. On the full dose of nutrients now for the last few weeks. I had to use more cable ties today to keep the colas from falling over like in previous weeks. good strong smell. great environment for flower. defoliated again mostly near the bases.

Medium: Yep - still gonna beat on the DWC drum. It just gets better and easier every run. Almost religiously changed out the res. every week and this was definitely overkill. Couldโ€™ve easily gotten away with every 10 days to 2 weeks. Stuck with peroxide this run again instead of going with bennies via hydroguard or hygrozyme. The results speak for themselves on a 6 week veg. Thatโ€™s for sure. Still saveโ€™n them dolla bills on the nutes too. Minimal nute mixing (as well as simplistic regime) and for what weโ€™re using in each res. - gotta be easily a 50-60% savings on nute consumption vs. more traditional methods. Honestly makes one wonder why organic soil grows are seemingly all the rage. Iโ€™ve found terp. Profiles, structure, plant health and of course yields to all be just that much better in straight water. What more can I say, we love our DWC. Method ๐ŸŽš๏ธ๐ŸŽš๏ธ๐ŸŽš๏ธ The dueling methods were the whole point of this grow. Our best attempt to illustrate the differences between LST vs. LST/Topping ie. just how significant is the difference in terms of overall production? The truth of this test is a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand, topping does have a significant effect on overall yield. This fact is regardless of whether or not from seed or clone.That said and when it comes to clones, you still have to be mindful of the drawbacks of further dividing (and thus reducing nug size for) main branches. Our topped clone #2 is a perfect example of this. While the structure demonstrates significantly more branching, the nug sizes are also significantly smaller. As youโ€™ll see in the yield details it does somewhat make up for this through a higher overall weight but it was also a much less manageable plant than #1. Root mass on the topped plant was heavier and bulkier, drinking much more water than its counterpart. And in late flower half the plant was pretty much falling over. While some of this is attributable to the extremely hollow stems (and thus a carbon deficiency), making the most of the grow light proved difficult with the topped plant as bushy as it was. Basic summary - if ur cloning for profit or efficiency, stick with straight LST and grow a whole bunch of em. If I had to do it again I donโ€™t think i wouldโ€™ve bothered with topping - just for the sake of greater ease๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”. Then again, Iโ€™m greedy as fuck when it comes to my yields so I Could totally see myself trying to max everything out and go for broke๐Ÿค™๐Ÿค™. 3/5 volume bars for the rating - we accomplished what we were trying to. Yield/Harvest๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด Awwwwwe yeah - down to where it counts and these girls were champs๐Ÿ’ช. While internodal spacing was longer than necessary and overall bud size was smaller than average; these plants pushed out some solid weight๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘. Ran er through a 7 day dry and all jarred up on a slow cure. Final numbers: Total yield - clone #1: 5.14oz = 143.92g Total yield - clone #2: 6.01oz = 168.28g Approx. est. yield: 600g/m2 divides by 4.8, multiplied by 2 (approx. for 2/3 the cabinets sq/ft) = 250g per 0.41m2 Actual yield: 11.15oz. per 0.41m2 = 312.2g per 0.41m2. That is some seriously good production right there๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž. The high end avg. for this strain is 650g/m2. When you crush that out to my space and the numbers above, it works to about 270g per 0.41m2. Our actual yield still destroys the high end avg. by almost a zip and a half๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. The cree cob does it again. Fuckโ€™n jazz hands yโ€™all๐Ÿ™Œ! With results like these you could really give the whole grow a 9/10. Itโ€™s only an 8 in my book because itโ€™s not my preferred high. Otherwise, any time youโ€™re north of 5+ oz. per plant, itโ€™s a good day at the office๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. Props๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š No choice but to shoutout Humboldt genetics. These beans have treated me so well and I canโ€™t say enough Good things about the strains this organization puts out๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ. Other than that, thanks to everyone who dropped by for a look and a comment. The convos always good and of course - any questions or enlightened conversation are welcome. Every time I try to take a break from documenting a grow, I end up growing something worth documenting. If your as high as I am right now, you should still be trying to figure out that last sentence.... stay lit yโ€™all. See ya soon on the next one๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š.

the suitcase was redone, I redid the activated carbon filter to the top of the bag, which helped reduce the temperature to 27ยฐ during the day:) girl, this will make you feel a lot better:) everything looks really good, I don't want to rejoice too early, but the first 2 weeks passed smoothly:) Day 14 I made a cut of the main ring for the girl :) which will reduce her height, I think it's only for the good :).

At the end of the 12th week I decided to chop. The plant grown a lot filling my entire tent, il she gives to me about 500g (or more) of wet harvest. The smell is very intense and the buds are sticky a lot. I put the branches into the tent with the dehumidifier, fan and extractor 24 hours on. Update: two weeks after the first harvest I've decided that it is time to harvest the second plant that I transferred outdoor when I discovered that she was showing signs of illness. It's buds are not so fat as the ones of the other plant, but they are rich of trichomes. Harvest today, light trimming and put the branches into a box.

I decided not to flush her, since I mixed her last food too strong and ended up with lots of leftover. She's also my only plant blooming at the moment, so I'll just keep using the leftover prepared water to top her buckets until she's done. ;) ----- The leaves turning yellow tell me I need to get ready to harvest her, probably this weekend. I'm sure I could do it already, but I'm really pushing for a couchlock...

4/1/2023 Week 7- Day 1 of Veg (Day 59 overall) Water Change Day!!! Water was really low it was just above the hump in the Res cutting it close to not having enough water in the system to keep it going. They drank a lot making it close going the full 14 days. I am still going with the previous grows and adding 36 Gallons but even looking at the root I think the SILICA is working and the roots are further along at this point than in previous grows. This next two weeks will watch how much they drink and how low my Res starts getting, and will make a decision on changing the water weekly from here on out or still keep on the plan of every other week until Week 4 of Flower. Added 36 Gallons Mammoth SILICA= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil CALMAG= .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil Root Drip= 1Mil/Gal = 36Mil FloraMicro = 5.4Mil/Gal = 194Mil FloraGrow = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil FloraBloom = 4.6Mil/Gal = 166Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil PPM= 536 PH=5.84 PPFD=500 Tent Temp= 76.5 Water Temp= 71.4 Humidity= 58% 4/2/2023 Week 7- Day 2 of Veg (Day 60 overall) Not much today, PH was at 5.81, I brought that back up to 5.90. I took care of some badly needed defoliation in each of the back sides .. I was able to see some really good clone material to use on the lower backside of each of the plants. I will be taking two clones from each to breed over the next few weeks depending on when I am going to flip them. 4/3/2023 Week 7- Day 3 of Veg (Day 61 overall) A little FIMing, A little Topping, and a Little bit of defoliation. Might have to take my clones during the week this week, I am trying to wait until Saturday to hit week 8 but again they are getting all over the place and I need to trim some of the sides and lower areas. 4/4/2023 Week 7- Day 4 of Veg (Day 62 overall) I decided to take my clones and clean up the lower half of the plants. I took 2 clones from each plant to go into the cloning machine. 4/5/2023 Week 7- Day 5 of Veg (Day 63 overall) Water Temp is sitting at 73. Right in my ideal range for my setup. Ideal range 70-74 My Temp Tent is my ideal zone75.6 Ideal for this grow 70-78 The lights are still waiting the switch to flower to get maxed out... The Humidity is coming in right at 60% I love it.. I took so much off yesterday I figure it was a good day to let them rest. 4/6/2023 Week 7- Day 6 of Veg (Day 64 overall) I needed to Defoliate some and I topped a little. The plants might force me to flip them soon. Next Wed is the 10 week mark half way through the 20 weeks. The net is Bingo... Which means that If/when the plants hit the net I will have to flip them. The Net is set to the max height that I can let them get based on the Breeders Stretch report 75%. 4/7/2023 Week 7- Day 7 of Veg (Day 65 overall) #3 is 22 inches Tall, #2 is 19 Inches Tall. Net is set at 24 inches. Net is also set as my Bingo point, if they hit the net then I have to flip no matter what to account for the Breeders recommended 75% Stretch allowance. I think I am going to have to flip right at the 10 week mark of the Competition which is Wed 12 Apr. I topped a little, I de-foliated a lot to start getting it ready for the anticipated Flip.

I need to dry the buds in the dark at 19 degrees Celsius and 50% humidity. I hope the effect will be good, The only thing I don't like is that she has too many leaves and I get very tired when trimming the buds, but that's the fault of the strain and genetics and that's how it should be!

SUMMARY: - I killed my first to tap-root seeds, I waited for them to grow "by the book" 0.5cm and I should have just planted, I saw them get worse and said "I must of messed up with something, lets wait another night until they bounce back" and instead they died. The next germination was super easy but my lights were too high, and the humidity was too low. All the fixes were done for the next weeks. Nov. 3 21:30 - dropped seeds into water 14:30 - get seeds into paper towel nov. 4 1:00 - seeds moved to damp paper towel nov. 5 18:00 - both seeds crack tap root emerging nov. 6 7:45 - both seeds tap root growing very long and thin, - third seed still not cracked 8:30 - both seeds placed into soil and watered lightly - placed into grow tent and LEDs turned on - 24H for the first day - 18/6 for the rest nov. 8 6:45 - first seedling spouted cotyledons leaves 13:00 - seedling (cotyledons leaves) looks droopy 19:00 - light moved down to 30โ€ 23:00 - second seedling has reach the surface and started to sprout cotyledons - first seedling still getting taller - third seed still not cracked nov. 9 15:00 - both seedlings given 50ml of water - watered around the outside of pot - pH of water = 7.81 - pH of runoff = 6.31 nov. 10 - second seedling has created serrated second set of leaves and stretched up to same height, but much smaller than first seedling. Specifications:๐Ÿ˜Ž Seeds: - 2x White Widow feminized seeds from Crop King Seed Tent: - 4x4x6 Mammoth Grow tent LED: - 2x Spider Farmer SF1000 LED (default 100 watt draw for seedling but will be bumped up to 125 Watt for flowering if not sooner) Pots: - 2x 0.5 L starter pots - 2x 5 gal smart pots after transplant Soil: - Pro-mix containing mycorrhizae and perlite, used for starter pots and mixed at roughly 1:3 ratio with Ocean Forest - Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, used in the 5 gallon pots and mixed with roughly 3:1 ratio with pro-mix - note: pro mix was mixed thoroughly with ocean forest in the 5 gal pot, then pro-mix was used on the top layer, in and around where the transplant will be to help the early veg stage avoid getting too "hot" via nutrients. Nutrients: - Fox Farm Big Bloom - Fox Farm Big Grow - Fox Farm Tiger Bloom Inline Fans: - AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6 6" (exhaust) - AC infinity CLOUDLINE S6 6" (active intake) - AC infinity 6" ducting Oscillating fans: - 2x Wind Devil 6" fans Carbon Filter: - 2x iPower Carbon Filter on both inline fans - note: carbon filter on intake fan as basement had mold issues in furnace room far removed but same floor, some mold issue in other room, cat litter in basement, thus, avoiding all risks and sleeping sound at night :) all mold was killed, scrubbed, cleaned, sprayed, painted, and sprayed again before setting up. Humidifier: - TaoTronics Cool Mist Humidifier Timers: - 2x Kuman 15A/1800W 24-Hour Digital Timer Overall: Good start to the grow, germinated 2/3 seeds, both growing and healthy. Both seedlings have developed their cotyledons and although they initially were quite droopy, they often bounce back to a decent upright/natural position. Third seed is undergoing "emergency germination" for the next 2 days as it experienced identical conditions to the other healthy seeds yet failed to germinate, likely due to its unviable nature. Waiting for extension cords to lower the lights further and a humidifier to hold rH steady in the next day or so. The seedlings appear to be reaching up for the light, stretching, but it appears to be within the acceptable range as they are upright and sturdy. The seedlings often get a little droopy, it is likely that this and even the stretching can be blamed on low humidity, temperature swings between low 60's up to 81 F. Nov. 2 - I killed 2 germinated seeds by waiting for tap root to grow to 0.5cm. - note: tap root looked great but was quite short so I waited another day for it to grow as instructed, the next day it looked like it had suffered, I assumed it was something I did like too damp, or too dry, but it really just needed to be planted before tap root grew to 0.5cm. So i waited another day to see the bounce back this time carefully ensuring right amount of dampness but when i looked it was clearly dead. RIP ๐Ÿ˜ญ Nov. 3 21:30 - dropped seeds into water 14:30 - get seeds into paper towel nov. 4 1:00 - seeds moved to damp paper towel nov. 5 18:00 - both seeds crack tap root emerging nov. 6 7:45 - both seeds tap root growing very long and thin, - third seed still not cracked 8:30 - both seeds placed into soil and watered lightly - placed into grow tent and LEDs turned on - 24H for the first day - 18/6 for the rest nov. 8 6:45 - first seedling spouted cotyledons leaves 13:00 - seedling (cotyledons leaves) looks droopy 19:00 - light moved down to 30โ€ 23:00 - second seedling has reach the surface and started to sprout cotyledons - first seedling still getting taller - third seed still not cracked nov. 9 15:00 - both seedlings given 50ml of water - watered around the outside of pot - pH of water = 7.81 - pH of runoff = 6.31 nov. 10 - second seedling has created serrated second set of leaves and stretched up to same height, but much smaller than first seedling. Summary of week: - A rocky but good start has resulted in 2 healthy seedlings with a decent set of serrated leaves. - MY growing pains and on the fly adjusting of grow tent climate likely resulted in a little bit of a tough week for the seedlings. LED hanging too high likely off the start (started at 60" and got as low as 30"), low rH (going down to as low as 40% and never really getting <60%), and poor temperature fluctuations (going as low as 61F early in the morning when the lights go off for 8H and as high as 81F when the lights are on for some time). - Luckily these factors did not do much damage but in all likelihood just resulted in a slower growth rate. - After initially planted into damp soil, I only watered once, with only 50ml for each plant and mostly watered around the edges of the pot.

Update from last week that I forgot: I gave her a final feed at 75%... WEEK 25 DAY 1 ... omg... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ It really took me half a year to finish this one... unbelievable... ๐Ÿ˜… Well, so far I'm still super happy. Everything seems to go just fine but I'll never do this again..haha.. (vegging under a 50W bulb xD)... Soooo... looking at the trichs, I think the harvest window has just opened. There's still a lot of clear but the cloudy ones are starting to come and there's already a little amber on the leaves. I suppose I'm really close to harvest now. I'll be flushing her next time for sure. First, I'll feed her a low nutrient solution, maybe around 25% and half of the usual water quantity because I'm not that sure about when she really finishes so she dries out more quickly. Next, I'll use Grotek Final Flush right before I'll chop her down. I don't want to use this right away because last time my plants were dying a bit too fast so.. not to be repeated ;) Getting impatient now. Hopefully it will be a White Christmas...haha! DAY 2 Gave her one last feed at 25%. Poured only half of the usual water quantity. Left the BloomComplex totally aside because she seems like she's doing a little 'clawing'. Maybe there's too much Nitrogene? Trichs are beginning to get cloudy, with a little amber in between. I'll flush her with plain ph'd water tomorrow probably or should I wait some more days? What do you think? I'm never sure when the time is right... :/ DAY 3 I just took some more pictures with a macro lens attached to my iPhone. Seems like the buds in the middle do have way more amber than the other ones around which have swollen more compared to the ones in the middle but have less amber. The last days, I didn't check the ones in the middle so I changed my mind. I just flushed her with Grotek Final Flush. I'll wait for some hours for the solution to break down the salts and then I'll flush again to get rid of the flushing solution. I'm also gonna switch the timetable to 8/16. (16 hours of dark) and I'll drop the temperatures some 2 more degrees.
