TheDude1337 First Grow In Soil: 5 Strains

[TheDude1337]

Day 34 Update
Looks like I mis-numbered my days along the way. The Auto plant is really starting to stretch out a bit. Lots of room between leaves now, as just a few days ago it was very bunched up. A few pre-flowers in spots, but they are not coming in force yet. My other plants seemed to respond well to a minor defoliation yesterday. I'll be leaving them alone for the most part today. I will be giving them water though as the soil seems dry and light all around.

Lookin Great my friend. And the way that are growing now they probably took all the energy going to the new growth that got pulled and exploded somewhere else. Lol. Brushed their shoulder off and kept going. That’s one thing I try to keep in my mind when I’m removing leaves or pulling stems in certain directions....the flow of energy.

Day 35 Update
Where did the time go, 35 days ago I had these girls germinating on my shelf, and today I'm struggling with LST because they are all so bushy. The Amnesia Auto plant has clearly gone into full on stretch mode. The distance between nodes is increasing every day and she is really spreading out nice. I'll be putting my SCROG in tomorrow and finding her a permanent place in the tent as I have been moving the gals around. I am thinking I'll put her in the front near the door because she will likely be the first to be harvested. I did another topping on the White Widow and the Critical plants because it was easy to find the tops. The Pineapple Kush is so dense it is just a mess up top, so I won't bother topping her again. The Euphoria has had enough damage from myself with scissors that I think i'll leave her alone.

Let them grow out a bit and they will start to open up soon.

Day 36 update
Another day of growth and changes in my plants. The Pineapple Kush is like putting my hands through a nest. The density of the leaves and stems under the canopy is intense. The top of the plant is really strange. The overall spacing between branches is very small. I can't wait to see what she does when I put her into stretch next week. I hope that those small branches really grow out and put some nice spacing. The Euphoria and Critical plants are coming along nicely. The White Widow had a great night of growth and is starting to fill out underneath and take up some space in the pot. The Amnesia Auto is stretching and looking like a real lady. Her pistols have become pronounced and you can visually see the flowers starting. I will be installing my SCROG tomorrow. I also noticed that the Pineapple Kush has some nutrient burn on the tips, she is the only plant showing any issues so I will dial it back when I feed her tomorrow.

Day 37 Update
Gave the girls some water today. The Euphoria and Critical plants got some nutes, the Pineapple Kush and White Widow only got the calmag. The Amnesia got some bloom. I only got 2 pictures today that turned out and I don't want to open the tent again until tomorrow. I did some more LST to the Pineapple Kush. That is about it for the day. I said I was going to put in the SCROG today, but I got groceries and picked up a few books instead. Oddly enough just the girls from Canuk seeds had their photos turn out today. I'm guessing that the RQS genetics are naturally blurry.

Looking good Dude!

Day 38 Update
I was on the fence about flipping the girls next week into flower. After today, I am 100% steadfast in the decision to do so. My little tent might explode with all of these girls stretching at the same time. I will have to be on top of LST in order to make this work. I did some defoliation on the Pineapple Kush today. Took off the large fan leaves in hopes that she will start to expand a bit in the middle. She has gone form being my star player to being my redheaded stepchild. A very finicky plant that is incredibly misshapen. Short branches with tons of foliage. Overall an odd duck. My other plants seem to be doing well. I was looking at bud sites that have started on my Amnesia auto, and that got me rather excited. Very clear where the nugs will be growing.

Day 39 Update
I feel like the ladies are getting big. The Amnesia has almost doubled in size this week. The bud sites are very pronounced and it seems like a few new ones started overnight. The smell from the Critical plant is the strongest by a long shot. Overall very happy so far. I will be watering the tomorrow as they are starting to get dry again.

Day 40 & 41 Update
Gave the gals some water yesterday, and I flipped to 12/12 today. The girls have all gotten large enough that if I keep vegging, I'm only creating space issues in my tent. If I only had 1 or 2 gals I would have waited. They all seem relatively ready. I also did some light defoliation today to try to put some light into the middle of the gals. We will see how things go with the new daylight schedule, not sure how long it typically takes for them to start to flower. I'm really happy with the amnesia plant right now, she has a ton of different bud sites that have started and she is really growing taller every day. My Pineapple Kush plant really filled out the past 48 hours as well.

Looking good, they should show pistils in 10-14 days usually.

Day 42 Update
Flipped my schedule to 12/12 yesterday. I hope that can help induce the girls to flower. The growth in these plants is not as dramatic day to day as it was at first, but it is still easy to notice a change every day. The White Widow is starting to do what I want, as is the Pineapple Kush. The Amnesia is showing some bud sites all around and seems to be doing well.

Looking nice and healthy for the flip!

Lookin Great my man! Which of those strains are you most looking forward to trying?

I honestly have no preference. I haven't smoked the stuff in years. I just really wanted to grow some. I can't wait to give it away to people. It will be a nice gift for some of my chronic friends. I am actually nervous about smoking it again.

 

[Mr. Magoo]

I feel ya. I partake very little myself

Day 43 Update
Girls were getting dry today so I added some water with some bloom nutes. I broke a branch on my White Widow plant while moving her, but I taped it up and we will see if that node survives or not. I can really see the new nodes on the 2nd topping I did on her. The 12/12 schedule has given me some time in the evenings and in the morning to do some work. A lesson for my next grow though as I will choose a different schedule to give myself the evening to do work on the plants.

Day 44 Update
A solid night for all the gals. Pictures came out a bit blurry for a few of the shots, I'm going to start using the DSLR soon. The Amnesia Auto is really taking shape, the bud sites are very pronounced now and seem to be getting larger every day. The other girls are all ready to start to stretch. Did some light trimming on the White Widow today and some LST on the pineapple kush. Outside of that, it was a light day.

Day 46 Update
Sorry for the lack of update yesterday I was busy with family late into the evening and by the time I got free, I was ready for bed. It is quite clear that a couple of my girls (White Widow, and Pineapple Kush) have started to stretch. The White widow even has a few pistols starting. I did some trimming on the girls today. Just to get a bit more light into the middle of the plants. Any large fan leaf that was blocking light and had a secondary node established was trimmed. They will be getting some water first thing in the morning. They are a bit dry, but I can still feel moisture at the bottom of the pot. I didn't notice any drooping so I will wait until morning. I have noticed my humidity spikes to around 65% after watering during the dark period. I have a small dehumidified that I will be installing on a timer in the next few days. It will come on during the dark period and turn off when the lights come on.

Day 47 Update
Did some LST today and watered the girls. That is about it as I'm getting ready to head out for the weekend. I will likely water them when I return. The White Widow has been the first to show pre-flowers and my Amnesia Auto continues to get larger every day. There are a bunch of bud sites on the plant so I'm pretty excited to see what kind or results I can get out of an auto. The girls seem to be stretching now as they are all getting bigger. I will likely have to figure out how to move my lights higher soon.
