For the first time I have finally found my way. This whole endeavor has been a great learning experience going from growing clones to trying seeds. I have three strains all purple fruity strains so I’m in heaven. 100% success by soaking seeds for an extended period of time and leaving them in the paper towel in a warm place until they had completely sprouted leafs and all. They were yellow but the next day after planting them they were perkey and green. I’m finally happy with my grow and feel like iv learned a lot but I paid dearly in lost seeds that’s for sure

On day 1 the reservoirs PH is 6.3. The rez is 483 ppm. The girls are looking good and nitrogen toxicity seems to have stopped. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.1 to 6.3. The rez is 477 ppm. Trichomes seem to be 10% cloudy so I still have a bit to go i'm thinking 9 weeks should be a good bet! On day 3 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.1. The rez is 500 ppm. On day 4 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 503 ppm. I lowered the ppfd so my tallest received 900 ppfd and an average of 543 ppfd. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 519 ppm. I removed some of the extra fan leaves blocking bud sites. On day 6 I changed out the reservoir with only tap water and adjusted the PH from 6.7 to 6.1 with a ppm of 249. The trichomes are maturing and I plan on harvesting on week 8 day 4 of flower. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.5 to 6.0. The rez ppm is 250.

She'll be the 1st to harvest. She looks to only have a week left if that?...

Germination was successful in 24 hours!

Welcome to the next week of great adventure with young gorillas. The beginning of the week I started with a small flush with tap water at pH 6.3. I intend to change the 150W HPS lamp to brand new 250w plantstar this week. In next few days gonna use pk 13/14 One love for everyone 🌱🐒🌱🐒🌱🐒 P.S: mobile application is terrible, it is very difficult to update something, it always gets stuck during the upload of photo, no upload percentage. Already twice made me mess up the whole week EDIT: Additional HPS mounted 250w plantastar. Unfortunately, after purchasing the wattmeter, I discovered that my LED consumes only 220w of guaranteed 350w. I'm thinking about giving it back for a guarantee. The current energy consumption of the entire project is 810w / h

June 11: First week exposed to the full elements. Plants took a beating from the wind but othwise look strong and healthy albeit a bit small. No rain this past week, but soil moisture at 10cm is decent. Preflowers are showing already.

This week I noticed the buds got more bigger but also the calcium deficiency has gotten worse and so to battle that I added gypsum to the medium and gave them two waterings with banana peels 🍌in the water ( I read banana peels give off Potassium, Phosphorus, Calcium, and magnesium) hopefully they bounce back and my yield isn’t affected too bad.

This is week two of flowering. It looks happy and has stretched 👍🎃👌a lot

Just on autopilot now, have only had to water once a week since transplanting to 7 gallon pots, but I expect that to ramp up soon as I crank the lights up to 100% on week 5 of flower. I was using the standard 12/12 but watched a video where Kevin Jodrey mentioned an 11/13 on/off cycle works out a little better for some strains. We're going to see what happens with that over the next two weeks and will likely finish it out on that cycle. I topdressed a little today with some supersoil and plan to incorporate molasses with my next watering just for a nice last boost for the next few weeks of flower before the fade. Thanks for reading!

It was fun growing Critical+ 2.0 and really recommend it for any new grower who would love to experience his first smoke from his personal garden

Chemdawg is just taking off beating everything I have right now didn’t know 7 gallons would make that much of a difference but it does it’s almost half a foot taller than my other plants..this is also my first half soil/half coco run so she’s been a little slow flowering but finally looks to have got it going! The smell is a combination of mild sour diesel and really potent OG Kush..possibly my favorite aroma.

Arrosage à l’engrais de croissance le jour 70. Tuteurage des plants. Les plants ne vont pas tarder à passer en floraison. Je pulvérise au purin d’orties le jour 73.

Again, a week has passed. I repotted the plants into their final 15L/4 gallons shoes with Plagron All-Mix. Plants are looking fine, not perfect, but okay. It feels like they are a bit overwatered and/or very slightly overfed because of the All-Mix. For now, I reduce the watering by 50%. Furthermore, I did a FIM on another Jack Herer (#3). The first FIM I did on JH#1 is looking to work out perfectly, as I can see the development of four new stems (check out the pictures). Great! The SP 3000's intensity was increased to full power, it's very bright. I am happy with the quality of the light. It does what it was built for and does it very well. Temperature and humidity stats are looking perfectly so far. I hope it stays like that, the days are getting warmer as summer comes our way. But my ventilation is currently running on intensity level 1/5, so we still have some room for maneuver. In addition, I will get a second oscillating clipfan soon. Next week I plan to FIM plants that have not been FIMed yet and let them recover. By then, most of the stress for the plants should be over and I can let them grow in peace. Stay tuned!

First week of flowering. Girls are super happy. And drink a lot. I very much prefer the lower plant count with 8 plants. And I’m probably not going to go back to more than 9 plants. Perhaps will even try 6 or 7. 12 or 16 was a bit of overkill. Maybe with super short veg it has its place. 26.01 first day of flower.
