Day 116 (Week 17)

Day: 116

4 days of dry time with 60% RH and put into jars. Won’t be drying by branch on the next grow, going to hang the entire plant next time as I noticed some buds were dry and others were still a bit damp. No weight yet but will share on the next update in 2 weeks. Aroma is definitely very different between the two pots. The gelato smells so nice and the diesels are just dense red nugs. Final weight- 200 grams

Hurry up! Room set at 55% RH and approximately 18-20C Bathroom fully sanitized before strings were strung. Bathroom fan on, lights off for 7-10 days Small fan also installed to help stimulate airflow and prevent mold. Door on the outside has been tape sealed and locked to create a negative air containment. Funny story, spent 4 hours wet trimming without gloves and had a couple beers. Once done, I went out to smoke a bong, that’s when it hit me; I was already high as a kite. I was tripping so hard for 30-45 mins that I couldn’t even turn my TV a on. Had to ask my wife to help! Lol discarded all my trim but maybe the next batch I will do something with it. Diesel Came out rock hard and smells beautiful actually. Gelato? Pulled it too soon I think. Should have done a better job thinning out small internal branches when to help form thicker fuller collas

Frost shots and bud development. Hit them late with another round of kelp over the weekend. The doubles with the fist photo are very light green and wanted to add some Epsom salts but I think I’m a bit too late. Planning harvest on the 26th before my newborn daughter arrives. Note to self- buy a larger tent ASAP.

Buds are forming nicely on the twin pots. Main colas are going to be the size of fists. The single pot is very sticky and very nice looking with smaller yields it looks like. She’s the one I’m most excited for. Photo 5 is one of the nicest frost of all

Interesting find today- but a friend of mine who grows professionally for Elev8 genetics. He took one look and whiff of the girls and confirmed my worst fear- the seeds I got from CROP KING were wrong and this plant is actually a Diesel type. I called crop king right away freaking out and they confirmed something was wrong and are sending me their new gelato crop for free. Very upsetting and a complete waste of 3 months. I hate Diesel strains. Fuck Crop King. My buddy brough over 15 seeds of Dosi dos and another 15 of triple scoop that were given to him from Elev8 seeds in growing next.

twoXfour Be thankful it’s turning out as good as it is, you may hate diesel but plenty of medical patients rely on it daily. Don’t like it, donate it to someone who needs the medicine

matishans

matishans @twoxfour don’t get me wrong, I’m still looking forward to harvest and ultimately enjoyment but you should appreciate our rights as consumers; being sold something that’s labeled one thing and it turns out to be something completely different is by no means acceptable, ethical and especially coming from the medical field; legal and should be considered unprofessional across ANY market. I spent 3 months raising, financing and caring for them to find out they are not what I was lead to believe. It’s like pre ordering the new Dodge Challenger and getting a Kia Rio instead.

Day: 78

Tent smells a bit musky, I expected a more pungent smell of chronic and I think it may be because I’m filling the tent out too much. I have been defoliating lightly since the start of flower to see if I can get more airflow. Fan is on the lowest speed and the wind seems to be upsetting the small girl.

Frosting nicely. The smaller planter seems to be the runt but should still produce.

3 years ago

Day: 69

First feed on the bloom a and b. Immediately noticed the strongest two develop very point edges overnight. Hairs are stacking up nicely, the runt isn’t this far along but didn’t get to feed on the same schedule, the single solo has a three day variance between watering. In hindsight, I probably wouldn’t put another solo plant in the 15 gal containers. Noticed slight spotting of different shades of green on the two which got nutrients. Keeping an eye on it and may dilute the feed down a bit to help further prevent tip burn.

Day 8 of flower and we get to see some hairs!! The twins are looking good and healthy but the solo girl looks a bit unhappy. Need some help or she could be the runt. Going in and defoliating once or twice a day to help limit shock and to promote outward growth. I knew I flipped a bit late and as a result, I’m maxing out my light height but I think it’s a good excuse to get a better tent from my wife for Christmas! Lol

These bitches filled out more than I thought. Contemplating going to flower next week. Can someone offer some advice as to wether I’m there yet or not? The larger two that got transplanted together are at 18 inches and the short solo is at 14.5

These girls are turning into hungry monsters. Feeding roughly 5L of water/food every two days. Lots of new growth coming as a result of LST. Noticing lots of THC speckling the leafs already and I’m still on 16-8. Very potent smelling within the tent. Haven’t defoliated in a while, considering doing a trellis until flower, but think I may just flip in another week or two and see how it goes o’ natural

Filling out nicely. HEAVY water today, it’s been a good 3 days since my last feed and I’ve always gone light. Sprayed my water instead of using the watering can and I could tell saturation levels are much better this way. Probably buying a sprayer now- FML this hobby is getting expensive but I just remind myself how much weed I’ve paid for in the last 15 years;it’s a drop in the ocean Height 12”, 11.5, 10

I’m pinning my branches down this week to help fill them out a bit and it looks like it’s working. Thankful I left long stems where I pruned back because they are preventing breaks and splitting by acting as a brace. Thinking of adding a trellis in a week or two to help maintain one height.

3 years ago

Day: 31

First day of LST. Seems to be helping fill them out. Took the bracing off so they can stretch back before bed. I think one week of this and I should have it more balanced. Biggest feed of their lives today. Fed them about 2L of their nutrients mix and got them elevated off the ground

Did a massive trim back on all three Growth was way to bushy Transplanted from the 1gal into 5gals Didn’t want to consume the tent to I add both the tallest ones in one 15gal Going to jump into Reno Nutrients very soon, I’ve just been dumping money into this more than I’d like, while still Paying for my medicine. Hoping with the trim back of the fan leafs that I can focus that energy up. I’m at 7-8 inches per plant and I’m capped by a 6 ft environment so I’ll be flipping once I’m at 19-22 inches. Live and learn

Juice6889 Since you have a height restriction. Why don’t you too and bend to get more of a bushy plant. I’m restricted also and that’s the route I’m taking.

Matishans

Matishans Great suggestion. I will be doing some LST and adding a trellis soon. Wanted to wait until transplant into my final pot before I did.

Started playing music all day and all night for the girls which seems to have helped with growth. Everything’s entered in the grow journal and it’s clear that it’s made a big difference playing the rock 24/7

Easymac711 Damn bro what you feeding those things?!? I’m a week behind on the same strain and your plants are just so.... big.

Matishans

Matishans I’m on Dutch nutrients which I’m finding to be sub par. I noticed the most growth after adding a second 1000w LED light. I also kept the light really close (16inches) for the second and third weed of growth. I like to think playing music for them helps too

18-6 light schedule. Haven’t picked up a timer yet so it’s been manual so far. Only messed up once by leaving it on for 5 extra hrs but made up for it with an early bedtime. Adjusted my lights and backed them away to 26 inches and put a slight canter on the lights. Seems happier

Matishans The first photo shows some minor spotting on the forst set of leaves, thinking it was some bleaching due to mist being sprayed on them while my humidifier was down, can anyone confirm?

Assembling my inline, I dropped my screwdriver and broke my humidifier and had to manually spray for a couple days. Seem to have a bit of leaf bleaching and a day or two behind but things are coming along.
