Chop chop! Presenting .... weed. I’ll hang dry it today and 4 more days. Then I’ll cut the buds and fan leaves and let the buds dry on a screen and then I’ll skip the manicuring process and keep most of the leaves on to protect the trichomes. I am using a vaporizer anyways, not smoking it.

Moved the lights to off for the next 24-48 hours. May cut them tomorrow or Monday morning at the latest. They’ve flowered roughly 65 days.

The bud forest. I’m giving it a week to finish up. Then I’ll cut on Sunday probably.

Tomorrow is day 100 the gelato plants have produced buds that are just big buds it different budding sites around the plants with nice thick 6 inch long Kolors however the critical Kush plant has created putting sites that cause the entire stems to be covered by buds and there’s not much spacing in between the budding sites and if there is there’s bigger buds below doing the same thing all joining together.

End of the month and they get the yank. Leaves are being eaten. I’ll use calmag next time around day 70 forward.

Some bud pictures. Another two/three weeks and we’re done.

End of the month. The chop comes. They’ll swell big the next 3 weeks.

Some of the plants are starting to eat the nutrients in the fan leaves 🍃

Noticed calcium/magnesium deficiency today. This is the critical kush plant. I went an bought Tiger Bloom and Recharge. I’ll use both half strength on the drip system.

3 years ago

Wow. They’re about 5 feet tall. After putting the new drip irrigation system on this. The plants size and growth exploded. There is no run off water. What used to last two waterings and created half of the water to run off; now lasts about 7 days with no run off watered a little at a time for 3 minutes every 8 hours.

I had to raise the light up another 8 inches. The tent is 7ft tall. The plants will probably break 6ft and I’ll have to just hook the light and fan on the pole and remove the pulley ropes it’s on.

3 years ago

They’re all so tall and bushy. Woah.

3 years ago

Good morning. They’re started to show the first signs of flowers.

3 years ago

The watering system is beautiful. Works like a charm. It goes off for 3 minutes every 8 hours. No run off, plants are watered just enough and they stay wet enough but not too dry.

3 years ago

Wow. About a week into flower. They’ve doubled in size already. I haven’t given them any nutrients since the original doses of Dr. Bensons. I’ve never had better looking plants. Stop over watering and over feeding your plants: they’ll get huge.

I got my drip irrigation pump today from Amazon. I originally tried to rig some landscape sprinkler line and sprinklers to a waterfall pump. but this thing works great.

The only non-feminized seed is a male. Damn. I’ll have to kill it.

3 years ago

Yeaaaaa. Day 2 flower.

3 years ago

Good morning. They saw dark for the first time last night. New buds, new year.

3 years ago

Moving the girls over to 12:12 — the lights just went off. They’ll run from 6am to 6pm the next two and a half months.

3 years ago

I will start to flower them in five more days. I’ve done nothing but give them pH water since Way back when I gave them Dr. Bensons.

3 years ago

Holy super crop guys and girls. These all have a minimum of 12 tops each. I got rid of the drip system and put a 1/2 hose on the pump with a on/off valve that connects two of the hoses. They’re growing way better. Way faster.

3 years ago

9 more days until they go to 12:12 they’re huge. I only give them pH 6 water. I haven’t given them any nutrients since 2-3 weeks back. They’re beautiful.

3 years ago

Canopy gang. I’ll start flower Jan 1st — I’ll just be giving pH’d water until it’s time for flower. I have fed them twice since it started. Stop over feeding your plants and stop over watering them. They get huge with less water. I’ll be bending back EVERY fan leaf and gently pushing all the branches down again gently.

3 years ago

Cats and weed. Past grows the plants would be very tall by now. But this grow I’ve super cropped a branch or two every week to few days after it recovers. Every day I gently push all the branches down to allow light to the inside: gently with my open hands. I pinch and pull down all the small and big fan leaves to allow more light or more budding sites. I only super crop branches that are getting too long with only a single top or two nodes. In 17 days I’ll flip them into flower. I’m going to stop super cropping then unless necessary for canopy control. I’m watering them all a combined 2-3 gallons on the sprinkler drip every 2-3 days. I moved the tray to the middle of the tent and slid the light forward too. I opened the tent up to allow for sunlight to come in through the sun roof window into the tent.

3 years ago

I pulled some fan leaves back and super cropped all of the tops again. This is the second super crop on the main stem. I turned the plants yesterday to give light to areas that were not filled in with budding sites yet.

3 years ago

They are getting super bushy have been rotating them pending fan leaves down. I’ve been super cropping one branch every couple of days. I just watered them earlier. I didn’t use any nutrients I watered them with 6.0 PH water about 3 gallons and then I drained the pan off and get rid of the runoff water. I have another 3 1/4 gallons in the reservoir I water it again in about two or three days. I won’t feed them anymore until it’s time to flour them and I will switch the nutrients over.

3 years ago

I spent an hour today pinching all the fan leaves stems flat and lose and pulling down the leaves to allow all the budding sites to get light. Removing leaves hurts the plant because this is where sugar and nutrients are stored for growth. I also watered them with 6pH water. Run off is a solid 7pH — I’ve been draining the water after watering them off the pan using a pump.

3 years ago

I’ve been letting the pots dry out and they’re looking great. All the tops are poking back up and I’m beginning to see multiple tops.

3 years ago

Started the super-cropping process today. Pinched and pulled over all the tops. Super cropped 1-3 other branches and no more. Once these recover I’ll super crop 1 or 2 more times before they flower the end of January. Growing from seeds sucks. You never know what you’ll get as far as feedback from the plants. Also growing multiple strains in the same tent is dumb. Some get over watered and other strains don’t. I’ll be making three mom plants out of these.

3 years ago

Letting them dry out the next 3-5 days. Pheno hunting.

3 years ago

Short thick stocks and super tight node growth. I overwatered them a bit so I emptied the tray after feeding them and watering them really well and I’m gonna let it dry out this week.

3 years ago

It’s officially the two week mark and they’re doing well. I will begin flowering them January 1

3 years ago

They’re definitely getting bigger after tying them down they’re going nuts. I went ahead and fed them some 200 PPM mix called Dr. Benson and put 12 gallons of it in the feed tray I’ll see him blow up.

3 years ago

I went ahead and tied them all down to the sprinkler hoses with some Velcro ties. The goal here is to have huge bushy plants that arent tall and lanky.

3 years ago

The soil is pretty wet. I drained the pan today and gave the water to our outside plants on the porch: should help the flowers and new plants we got form star nursery. The plants are going to grow like a weed this week as I dry out the smart pots and force the root systems to go into over drive looking for new water.

3 years ago

Here is the random seed that was in the Hydro bucket it sprang back to life and is getting huge the past two days. It’s going to have clones taken from it because of the super tight nodes.

3 years ago

This is the critical Kush seed I believe. It is far larger than the other four plants. Those other four plants are gelato which are slow to begin. Hopefully with the cut back on the water today they’ll dry out the roots will expand and they’ll get bigger because at this point they look like they’ve been overwatered.

3 years ago

You’re three of the gelato very very incise but they’re all about the same size. The gelato definitely do not like too much water the critical Kush loves it though.

3 years ago

The wrinkle on that first leaf just shows I gave them too much water when they were smaller so hopefully after they all dry out I can feed them and get back to watering them after the roots are spread out from being dried a bit.

3 years ago

They’re getting huge! Some of the smaller plants first leaves grow so fast they got bent because they couldn’t keep up with their size. The plant that was dying in the Hydro bucket is a seedling has finally got roots in is just going to become a giant stick of bud. The critical Kush seed is outgrowing everything which is funny because that one I got for free. Gelato seeds, we’ll see what happens they’re pretty small still. I move the circulating pump in the air bubbles pump to the top right of the pan and now the entire pan circulating with oxygen in the water versus just hitting the back left like it was which I felt was causing over bottom feeding of water on the far bottom left plant.

3 years ago

They’re growing great! I didn’t add any fertilizer to this 6 gallons of water I added to the pan but I did add Hydro guard. The pH of the water and the last pan was getting down a little bit sweet went ahead set it up with only 7pH water.

3 years ago

They’re starting to actually look like plants right now. After I popped the HPS to a thousand watts. The plants laid down and now they are starting actually increase in size..The plant that was dying in the Hydro bucket must’ve finally taken routes cause it’s growing.

3 years ago

After kicking the ballast up to 1000 watts. The plants got huge overnight compared to what they were and have fallen over. I hook a hose up to the recirculating pump and use it to water the plants. I’ll change the pans water each week from the reservoir I have on the outside where I mix the fertilizers.

3 years ago

They’re growing. I added a recirculating pump into the water pan. I added 2 1/2in of hydro corals and white rock to the bottoms of these pots in the beginning so I can bottom feed the plants and top feed them. The water pH is 6.7 I have been keeping the soil pretty dry. The bigger plant is a random seed. It was dying in a hydro bucket, so I stuck in soil outside and it came back to life. One of the gelato didn’t pop so I just brought this back inside to grow in the tent in the failed gelato seeds place. The other gelato and critical Kush seed are all stretching and are about 4in tall. I have been using a 1000 watt ballast that has 50%|75%|100%|110% dim options. I’ve been running it on 50% but I increased it to 1000 watts today.

3 years ago

All of them popped and they’re looking good. One didn’t pop so I planted one of my outdoor plants in the tent. The bigger plant is a random seed. I do not know if it’s feminized yet.

5 of the 6 have sprouted this morning. The 6th seed was splitting open so I moved it towards the middle of the pot and barely put any soil on it. Then I put a little water on it to secure the soil.

3 years ago

I planted the seed in the dirt after 24 hours in a glass of R/O water. I am using RO buddy from Amazon for aquariums with the 4th stage ionizing filter. I’m running PH between 6.1 and 7.1 One of the critical Kush seeds popped out of the dirt today.
