Since I'm playing catch up with documenting my first grow cycle, I'm going to combine weeks and just give updates. I mentioned in the last weekly comment about adding the wicking bases and how that can be potentially problematic. Well here's where I noticed the issue but mostly with the Orange Sherbet sativa. I started noticing changes in color and leaves that didn't look good to me. Fortunately, I have a couple of great friends who also grow and have been able to take advantage of their knowledge and experience along the way. I highly recommend doing this if you have friends who also grow. Anyway, I had one of my friends come over and it was determined that the issue was due mainly to overwatering. We decided that with the wicking bases in addition to the humidity level in the tent, that the plant was staying too wet. Catching this quickly and addressing it is huge with autos since they tend to be more delicate that regular plants (as I understand things anyway). To address the overwatering issue, I immediately stopped using the wicking bases and let the plants dry out for about a week. I did no watering at all for the week but kept the humidifier going. That really helped correct what was going on. I then decided that I was no longer going to use the wicking bases at all and only do top watering. You'll see as I move forward with documenting this grow cycle, that I changed my mind again on this once the plants went into flower. But hey, what do you expect, this was my first ever grow.

Purple 47 #1 Day 5 from seed. Both mixes contain nutrients for the first 2-3 weeks, so all Iโ€™ve been doing is watering with plain ph adjusted water. Purple 47 #2 sprouted yesterday ๐ŸŒฑ Edit; a third Purple 47 was just sowed

These Autos have grown like crazy but i've made a rookie mistake!!! I've been using Plant Magic Soil Supreme along with their Old Timers Organic Nutes and the recommened feeding chart. Week 1 i just gave the plants water, on week 2 i gave them 2ml per liter of nutes and as recommended this week i have given them 3ml per liter. The next day after watering with 3ml per liter i noticed slight nute burn marks on the FastBuds BlackBerry so i've flushed the pot with PH nuteral water and it has seemed to stopped the burning. I've dropped the nutes back down to 2ml per liter and they seem much happier! I've been planning on LSTing the plants next week but when i watered the plants today on day 19 i have noticed little pistills as shown in the photos above so i may LST sooner. As ive said this is my first grow so does anyone have any advice when it comes to LSTing my plants? Happy Growing!

8.3.25: I watered today. This time, I left out the Nitrogen as the plants don't need it right now. I watered each plant between 2 and 4 litres. I used dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients per 2ltr; โ™ก 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids โ™ก 1g Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients 9.3.25: The plants are still very thirsty, so I topped them up with 1-2ltrs per plant. I have cut out the Nitrogen for now as it is unnecessary. I am using Bloom nutrients only. Per 2ltrs contains; โ™ก 1g Mega Crop Part A โ™ก 1g Bud explosion PK booster Both by Greenleaf nutrients. 10.3.25: I have moved Bubble Kush into the back left corner, as she is a bit unhappy with the full lighting intensity. I moved Do-sรฌ-dos into the middle of the tent as she is looking phenomenal ๐Ÿ˜ the buds are most certainly stacking up to be huge! she will certainly be good with the higher intensity lighting. I can't say enough about her, very pleased with this plant! 12.3.25: Bubble Kush is looking much better and greener after I moved her into the corner away from the intense light in the middle of the tent. Getting about 3ltrs per day, just using Mega Crop Part A and Bud Explosion by Greenleaf nutrients. 14.3.25: The plants have switched to full bloom nutes, the only NPK 4-0-0 with the Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. Then Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster. I'm using double strength Cal-Mag as the petioles and stems of some leaves are going purple. I need to get some more. I've used nearly a whole 250ml this grow alone! I have been supplementing with Black Strap Molasses and will be feeding Bubble Kush ๐Ÿงก Do-sรฌ-dos ๐Ÿ’š I'll double check the rest of the plants and maybe give them a little bit. The Purple Lemonade ๐Ÿ’œ and Pink Mist are just really stacking on weight now, bulking up. Do-sรฌ-dos ๐Ÿ’š has absolutely unbelievable density and size. Watermelon ๐Ÿ‰ is finishing the lower bud sites as they were behind the others. I will keep for 1 more week in my estimation. Gorilla ๐Ÿฆ Cookies is looking good, definitely cutting the Nitrogen out on her as she's got an overabundance currently. Luckily, all my plants are at the same stage now relatively speaking, so I don't have to mix up separate mixtures for each plant just now. Which is a blessing ๐Ÿ™Œ Plant nutrients used per 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients: โ™ก 1g Bud explosion PK booster โ™ก 8ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. I water approximately between 2-4ltts per plant 3 times a week. No schedule, honestly. I'll judge it on the weight of pots and feel the top soil. Thanks for checking in

Soaked the seeds in distilled water for 15 minutes. After I put them on wet cotton pads and sealed those in Mylar bags. I placed those bags on top of my radiator. I made sure it is not running too hot. I don't really care about yield; I just want to do a little project inspired by a YouTuber called Weed in a Pot. I just want to see if I can bring it to the next level with this setup. I already switched out the light for the newer evo dimmable version since it was to strong. Also drilled a few more thicker holes in the bottom for better cold air intake.

Bud wet weight : 168,1g of trimmed medium to big sized buds 25,4g of tiny tiny buds/larfs = 193.5 grams of trimmed wet buds. Details on genetics and smoke report above. This, as my first grow, is way more than I ever expected it to be. I havenยดt had that much fun and enthusiasm in a very very long time. I canยดt even explain the feeling it is to harvest your own cannabis, but I know most of you know what Iยดm talking about haha. It was really nice to practice LST, even tho it was SO HARD, ยดcause I didnยดt had barely any space to work since I used a hard pot and did not fill nearly half the size of it and the walls of the pot were really high. It was even difficult to water without dropping water on the lower buds. I havenยดt learnt much about defoliation tho, I feel I need to study a little more about the phases you should or should not do it. Also, I discovered thrips are a pain in the ass. I had 2 tough weeks dealing with thrips, but in the end it was alright. I donยดt have any humidity control device, which I intend to buy for the next grows. Growdiaries was really helpful for me, it kept me motivated everyday (not that I wouldnยดt have had it anyways), the Grow Questions are REALLY useful and all the community is awesome. Thanks to all people that helped me here on GD during this first grow! To conclude it: I am really happy and satisfied with how the grow turned out. They look incredible, it almost feels like I canยดt believe it still. Peace. UPDATES: 07/10 : The buds are now dry and already in curing jars, one of them with a Boveda 58% humidity pack. The total grams of the dry buds are: 41.4g (medium to big sized buds) 4.1g (tiny buds) = 45.5 grams! Iยดm really happy with the results, I thought it would be around 30g so yeah, thatยดs a really good surprise! In 2 weeks Iยดll be back to update the smoke report. Thanks so much for reading! Peace. 09/10 : I managed to fit everything in the same container with some space between them, so now every bud is with the Boveda pack. 14/10: Itยดs been a week and the smell improved, it still smells a little like hay/plant ( even tho itยดs not too dry neither too wet ). 21/10: Now itยดs been two weeks and even tho the smell isnยดt anymore hay, itยดs a lot herbal. I really think the aroma can get better, but the taste is already good enough for me. The smoke report has been done and in case I have something to add, Iยดll report here. Thank you so much for reading! Peace.

D50 - The start of week three of flower and all is well. There isn't much to do at this point since the training is mostly done, and the watering is automated. D54 - The girls were home alone while I was gone on a trip. I'm sure they didn't miss me as everything was running automatically, but the differences between the two girls were more noticeable upon my return. The first is taller and more stretchy, with smaller, less developed buds, while the second is squatter, with much longer, fatter buds. I suspect that the second girl will finish sooner, but we'll see with time. The first girl stretched in my absence, and the canopy is now somewhat slanted, but I will try to even it out tomorrow. D56 - The last day of week three of flower. I was able to even out the canopy a bit, although there is still a bit of slant. There is only so much you can do when you're in a confined space.

Hello all and welcome back to my grow. First and foremost it would be awesome if you would please hit that like and follow button and feel free to leave a comment. Much appreciated ๐Ÿ™! I hoping for some good growth this week and planning on topping all the plants for the first time. I'll also be adding a air intake fan and filter this week. This will help maintain levels of CO2 in the tent as well as bring in warm air to help maintain Temps. Also once it's not below zero degrees lol ill connect the intake to draw air from outside which will be cooler. The air intake is coming into the tent from the bottom and then exhausted back out. The air intake will also allow me to turn up my outtake without the issue of negative pressure. I'll also be adding all organic organacide prevention measures this week. The ladies are still coming out of a week where they were over watered. Most of them are looking good, one has dry leaves and not looking hot. I'm thinking she will pull through as there is still new growth daily. Day 15 Feb 15th- No water today. Topped Tahoe OG today. I miss counted nodes and wished I would have waited one more node, but oh well. Day 16 Feb 16th- No water Day 17 Feb 17th- All plants received 30 ML of water directed at the stem as well as a foliar spraying to wet the top of the soil. Added air intake. Humidity set back to 65. Gently bent leaves down to expose undergrowth Day 18 Feb 18th- plants had explosive growth over night ๐Ÿ˜. All plants recieved 90 ML of water. Water had Mykos. Gently bent leaves down to expose undergrowth. Day 19 Feb 19th- all plants recieved 1 solo cup full of water. Only one plant had a tiny bit of run off. Plants looking healthy. Day 20 Feb 20th- No water today. Turned on air intake. Turned off humidifier. Day 21 Feb 21st- No water today. Upon inspection at end of light cycle from yesterday saw fungus gnats. I assume it'd from the previous overwater and never letting soil completely dry. Drying soil.. have neem oil ready to go if need. Upon inspection if lights on same or less gnats. Only about 5. Trimmed first leaves and singles from all plants.

Halfway through flush run off at 150ppm. Temps dropped down to a range of 65-73. Things are getting purple but had to trim a bud of cause of mould. Humidity has stayed 50-70% due to my poor exhaust but overall looking dank !

So, things are going great. The RO water change left me with a nice sterile clean res. The plants are loving the lighter feeding and it shows. The trolmaster has my light schedule dialled in with the sunrise and sunset setting Make sure you follow my YouTube and Instagram accounts linked on my profile page.

Omg... OMG.... O MY GOD MASSIVE litteraly massive size plants. You think they done getting taller and your wrong. I super cropped 1 branch cause was over the light, then the next few days 4 more shoots take off to the light few inches off the light to be exact! So lets see what happens with this light at 100% with buds that close if will bleach or what... if they grow past will prolly have to super cropp. But that is just 1 that is a damn tree the other 2 are about the same both medium tall height and have started to put on a resin coat already even down to the lower buds. Witb the help of a little defoliation i did to get more light down in the canopy!! Still same canna nutrients at the heavy side at ph of 5.6-5.7 about 3 L every 2 days. Have dropped off the rhy and picked up more everything else no pk yet. Love
