First Ever Grow Journal

[Emilya Green]

lots of people deal with hard water... you just pH it down. You are over thinking this... let the nutes work... lets see what happens. For every system there is a correct way to run it... we just have to find yours. Next grow, change some things up and do it differently based on what you learn here. Right now, center in on the issues you are having and change only one thing at a time so you can see what is working and what isn't.

So just an update. So last night I desided that my plants were looking so bad because they were hungry After all I’ve only been feeding them a half strangth mix every 10 days or so.

So I mixed a batch at full strangth and gave them each a cup. After about an hour my lady’s were starting to look way better And today there almost back to normal with the exception of some yellowing on the leaves If I had to guess the yellowing is from giving them so much water. 3 1/2 each total in such a short time. I did not get much runoff when I gave them each a cup of food.



On a side note I ordered a 1000w led light and it came in today

Day 45. As you can see my lady’s are doing quite well. I have stoped overwatering and it’s made quite a difference lol. As you can also see I have a small lady growing. This is a clone I took when I did some trimming. It was quite small when I cut it off and was not sure it would make it but she seems to be doing well

 

[Slim6969]

Day 55 and my lady’s are still doing well just waiting for them to grow some more then I’m going to re-pot them.

 

[Magicdvdfarm]

They are looking great.

 

[Slim6969]

So a quick update today is day 54. My plants were watered today with just plain ph water. It seems to me my plants don’t seem to like just getting water they always end up looking like there starving

So I think what I’m going to do it give them full feedings and then flush them out and fallow up with a half dose feeding


They seems to be using every bit of food I give them. I’m going to Jeep them in veg for a total of 60 days then send them into flower I hope my little clone catches up lol

 

[Slim6969]

Day57. 3 of my lady’s were moved to there forever home. I ran out of soil so my clone will have to wait

 

[Slim6969]

So I have not done an update in a while so here it is lol. I’ve sent my lady’s into flower there still quite small compared to other pix I’ve seen but that’s my fault lol

Sorry about the pic I know everyone hates the grow light pix lol

 

[Slim6969]

So time for an update.

My lady’s are doing quite well as you can see from the pix. They are still quite small so my yeld is not going to be too shelf but for my first grow with no losses I’m Happy with how things have gone.

I wanted to use this grow as a learning experience and that’s exactly what it has been.

I took some pix of a bud site on each plant as you can see there starting to grow there little hairs.

The toothpick looking lady is my clone I planted. Honestly did not expect it to grow but it has.

 

[Slim6969]

Time for an update. We are on day 18 of flower. My lady’s are doing well stunted but still alive so I’m happy lol. They have quite a few bud sites. And the buds are coming along nicely. Here are some pix. Can’t wait until there ready.


Some how my label for my blue dream did not make it to the pot after re-potting them so now I’m confused on witch one she is. I’m thinking she is the second pic as the buds on all the others look about at the same stage the second pic seems to have a bit bigger buds But not sure lol. Any thought ??

 

[Slim6969]

So here’s another update. My lady’s are doing really well. Here are some bud pix

One of my lady’s is showing some issues only a few leaves have it I have yet to give my plants just straight water because they seem to hate it. Maybe next feed I’ll cut back of just give them straight water and see how they do I’m sure by now there’s some build up.

 

[Slim6969]

Well here’s a bit of a update my lady’s are still doing well. I’m going to cut them down soon just gotta run some more water through them. Here’s some pix.

 

[Emilya Green]

Looking good, but are you sure they are done? I ask that looking at the large amount of white pistils still left on the buds, knowing that when mature, most of the time all the pistils have turned colors and pulled back. Be sure to check your thrichomes to see how they look... most people try to harvest as they just start to turn amber.

Hey @Slim6969, i'm with @Emilya on this one - i would definitely give it more time your buds can fill out more

 

[Slim6969]

Well I’ll let them go a bit longer and see what happens. I don’t have anything to look at the thrichomes. I look in to ordering something and see if I can get it here in time. Thanks for your input and advice

 

[Slim6969]

So I got these two things in the mail today

( see pic ).

So because I’m new what am I looking for

I know I need to be looking at the trichomes

But am I looking for them all to be amber in colour ?

From what I read I’m looking for cloudy and amber

And from what I see. Most are still clear but there’s a mix of cloudy and amber in there as well



So that leads me to this question at what point should I start the flush

 

[Emilya Green]

at what point should I start the flush

My rule was when I saw the very first amber... everyone has their own opinions on this and it differs between strains too.

 

[Slim6969]

Well my lady’s came down today. This was a great learning experience and I can use what I’ve learnt from this grow on my next one.


My harvest was not the best it could have been By the time its all dry there might be an oz or two there from 4 plants.

I put these plants through a lot in the first month of there lives. Lol.

Once it’s dry and trimmed I’ll post up a total weight.

 

[Slim6969]

Well here it is. Just under 2 oz.

To most it does not seem like a lot and honestly it could have been a lot better in another growers hands. That being said. From the beginning I said it did not matter how much I got off them ( sure the more the better lol ) it was about learning and the experience And for my first grow I have learned a ton I’m grateful for the help and Guidance I’ve gotten from the forum.

So most all the buds were small. Popcorn buds. The ones that were bigger were dense. But they have a great flavour and smell. I don’t smoke a lot because the thc
