She dried so fast 😰 I had the exhaust tied to the grow tent and since the heat began to rise outside the fans kicked on higher and dried her out within like 5 days. She yielded about 78 grams even being this dry. Super sticky, but super dry and crinkly. She smokes very smooth and is mellow to me.

I was distracted and forgot to take pix of the root system, but I do remember the roots being VERY dense all around the sides of the pot. Lots of thin roots and as you went closer they were thicker. I’m a firm believer in the air pots and how they prune the root system and promote growth and healthy roots.

Harvested her last night (day 84). After doing a little research some strains say 55-65 days and others say 57-85 days. I was planning to cut her down yesterday but I actually saw a difference in trichomes today. She’s up in the tent to dry with no lights and no fan, just the exhaust from the tent to balance the humidity for a slower dry.

G8keeper Looks delicious!

ZaddyXL

ZaddyXL Thank you! I checked her this morning. She’s at 55-63% rh with a little air movement. Nugs are drying nice and slow

G8keeper

G8keeper I can’t wait to experience the flower stage and drying an curing. I went with 3 strains with THC over 20%. I’ve read that in order to obtain the most amount of THC you have to fry and cure properly. So how do you know when the buds are completely dry?

Watered her yesterday with myco and molasses. I also noticed some of the lower bud sites that were close to the stem were getting too moist. I started to bend the stems outward and buds away from the stems. I also removed the tip of one I was concerned about. Trichomes are getting closer!

Lots to discuss here. She was sitting at well over 1000 par, so this may have contributed to the leaves drying and color difference from the top half to the bottom half. She still seems to have clear trichomes and very little amber. After feeding her last time she gained more green pigment and red pink instead. While spreading the branches for defoliation for airflow I found a really mouse spot with a light pink spot in it. It looked really weird so I took a pic. There’s lots of moist pockets I need to be cautious of.

Fed her yesterday. I decided I wanted to see what reintroducing bites would do after a two weekish flush this late in flower. Her trichomes still need a good amount of time to get cloudy and develop terps. Maybe this blast of nutes 3-1-2 will be a good push she needs, then continue the flush.

Top leaves and second layer are bright yellow. I’m starting to second guess myself so here’s my notes: Did I start flushing too early for what I perceived was the last two weeks? She grew abnormally yellow quickly and that kind of tells me she was expecting a feeding and was not yet ready or done her growth and trichomes development. We live and we learn I guess haha. I could reintroduce nutes but I kind of like how her sister who I harvested smokes with the 2 week flush. I’ll see how long it takes her to get cloudy and take note for the next grow harvest.

I’m still surprised by the difference between her and her sister every day. Still chucking pistols, she’s very thirsty already! May need to water her again tomorrow? She’s also starting to show more trichomes finally

Day: 51

Gave her a full watering Monday into Tuesday, so a day early. I used filtered tap water this time and added the usual amendments with 3tspn bb, 1tspn gb, and 1tspn tb, realized I forgot to add the second, and then added it to finish watering. Noticed no difference the next day after using tap water! She’s lanky but the longer ones are starting to fill up! I can see why her genetic is susceptible to mold. She grows very dense and I assume the size of the buds are going to be decent. This will make air flow a concern.

Watered today. 3tspn bb, 1tspn gb, 2tspn tb. Then added myco and molasses, but forgot to level the ph! It was around 6ph flat. Hopefully this doesn’t do anything too bad. She looks much happier so I think the feeding is heading in the right direction! Leaves are more perky than not and at the end of the day this morning the leaves were up even though she was thirsty!

Day: 46

She doesn’t seem happy today, I think the watering yesterday wasn’t the best choice? Maybe she’s hungry and since I didn’t feed her yesterday this could be her response. It’s only lights on so we’ll see if she turns around.

Going to water her today with regular ph water, molasses, and myco with NO NUTES. I switched the places with her sister and she’s now sitting at around 730 par. I lowered the or because she’s always droopy after light cycles and even after watering. She’s starting to show some frost. She has two stems that are about two to three inches taller than the canopy which is annoying but not terrible. I also introduced the new ac infinity t4 I have and adjusted the fan to have a consistent exchange of air and to speed up as needed for heat or humidity.

Day: 43

Gave her a full watering today with 3tspn bb, 1tspn gb, 1.5 tb with myco and molasses ph to 6.5. I added more water this time to really make sure everything is saturated. She got about 60% of a gallons worth of feeding. For some reason she’s still droopy after lights on and feeding. I’m sure she’ll bounce back though. I think her color is getting a little darker

She still drops in the morning by the end of the light cycle… raised the light a little. I know she’s not thirsty or hungry because I just watered her yesterday and she bounced back after. She’s also chucking pistols. She perked back up my lights on of course and is sitting at 760ish par

Gave her a full feeding today with 3 tsp big bloom, 1 tspn grow big, 1.5tspn tiger bloom to a gallon. Added myco and molasses ph to 6.5ish. She got half the gallon. She was droopy but bounced back after watering. She looks really light green still even after starting feeding. She’s also still getting droopy at the end of the light cycle. Going to check the par later

Raised the light this morning again because she’s always so low and droopy by the end of the cycle. Seems to like the feeding so far. She’s also stretching quite a bit! Maybe I forgot to account for that? At lights on she was ready for action, switched her sides and now she’s sitting at about 750 par in the new spot

She started to look droopy at the end of the light cycle so I checked or and she was higher than her sister, but seems to like it. She’s also a lighter green. Looking to feed today or tomorrow.

Yesterday she started off strong! I realized I was giving her too much light potentially so I measured and it says about 800 pat which may be too high. Earlier by the end of the cycle she looked fine though… maybe she likes the light? She is also a lighter green vs her sister who has rust spots. Cal/mag sisters?

Gave her a full watering and first feeding yesterday. I gave her 2 tspn Big Bloom, .5tspn Grow Big, .5tspn Tiger Bloom with molasses and myco ph balanced in a gallon. This was split between both plants in flower. Both had a solid amount of runoff and were fully saturated. Pruned to shed light on lower center sites. Very happy girl!

She is vegging heavily! Lots of leaf tucking for the under shoots. Gave her a full watering on 2/4 with myco and introduced the exhaust fan while the lights are on. Also removed another leaf that was just prone to getting infected by laying on the wet soil.

Day: 19

Vegging hella hard, I was told that removing a fan leaf wouldn’t kill off the shoot above it, so I removed two leaves that were shading EVERYTHING, so much better letting the light penetrate the shoots this way. I also noticed the first and second nodes are extremely close together, which makes training this early so hard. It also doesn’t help that her foliage is super thick and hydrated like lettuce on the shoots. Lots of leaf tucking and trained 1 shoot since it was long enough. Made chicken with the leaf cuttings and she didn’t have much of a unique taste. Tasted how she smelled 🤷🏽‍♂️ not anything crazy but I’ve heard, peaches and sweetness?

Day: 14

I woke up and she was a little sad 😢 she progressively got worse. I realized the RH may be too high so I lowered it and adjusted the fan that was making her shake a little. She’s also newly seated next to the humidifier so that may have been the culprit. Did a little leaning on her for the new side shoots. Gave a full water till run off and then some in the surrounding area when the lights came on. About a quarter of a gallon was all she needed. The water also had maybe a half a teaspoon of mycorrhizae. And I rotated the pot

She looks happy! She’s showing her first side shoots too! Waiting another day before watering. Humidity has been a consistent 60%. I lowered the lights to 20” instead of 24”. The pat reading went from about 220 to 360. Which is weird because the other light reads 300 at the same distance. Added co2 and left her alone. I went back and lowered the lights to the true 20” (not from the reflector, from the leds) and the pat reads 420 ☺️.

Looking great! Got the humidifier today and it’s a consistent 55%-60% rh! Very happy girl! She’s showing shoots from the lower nodes! LST soon. Fans on maybe 60% along with lights 60% still. One vent open and no exhaust.

Lots of growth on the second level, humidity was around 47% all day because the humidifier didn’t show up yet. Squirted a lil co2 at lights on. Added a shelf to the tent to germinate on the side.

Day: 10

I gave her a good watering and topped off with a little mycorrhizae mixed in water. Lately I’ve been spraying the leaves a little as well. The color looks like it should! No more light green on the leaves after she drank. The lower scuffed up leaves look a little extra scuffed now for some reason. I closed a vent on one side to bring the RH up to 50%. May try some lst tomorrow. Should you lst just before lights out? Or just before lights on? 🤔

Snowy Roads

Snowy Roads Um, LST? What are you planning on training when it’s that small? Also, you probably want your humidity around 60-80rh. 50rh is wayyy too low. Unless you’re planning on harvesting it tomorrow. Just sayin Happy growing

ZaddyXL

ZaddyXL Thanks for the input! I thought it was too early too, but I’ve heard you can start whenever, so I figured start sooner when the stem is flexible. I have a humidifier on the way today to fix the rh issue too

Snowy Roads

Snowy Roads Yeah dude, you wanna have that stuff set up before you even germinate. Seedlings and little sprouts need high humidity and temp.

Day: 9

The lower leaves look terrible but they’re working. The new growth looks super light idk why this girl seems so upset. Sprayed the soil and leaves lightly with water and CO2. Getting a humidifier soon but the rh has been ~40% all day and ~78 degrees. Lights at 60% and still 18/6

Nothing to report besides we’re looking healthy and we’re showing the first three pointers! The new growth is still a light green, not sure what this is about, but I hope maybe it’s because the soil is a little hot and this happens with hot seedlings (or so I’ve heard). Soil is still moist. Trying sponges in a tray of water to fix the humidity, moved the fans closer to the tray.

Day: 7

Returned after a day of 50% strength lighting sand she seems to have taken some damage. Maybe she went too dry in the higher light power and curled up. There’s also light green discoloration. Watered till dripping and removed the jar, lights at 60%.

Day: 6

The extra 20% of light (60%) stressed out the crit mass a little, when I woke up she was praying a little too much, almost curling. I had to add moisture to the jars since the exhaust and fans were on a lot to deal with the heat. Lowered the light to 50%. For today’s run since I won’t be able to tend to them till tomorrow. Soil seems moist enough for a dry spell, hopefully this isn’t the wrong call and the roots go searching for water.

Day: 5

Woke up and she was droopy. Not sure if it is was the introduction of a lil co2 or too much moisture in the jar. Propped the jar up a little to see if that helps her out. I think the oxygen helped! She’s bouncing back, but has a little lighter green spot on the left leaf. No water and keeping the jar lifted. Raised the lights to 60% and they both responded well. The extra 20% however is adding some heat so I added the exhaust and dual fans with a cup of water and paper towel for moisture now that air is moving.

Wondering when I should turn the lights up, rn at 40% @100W light. I also added a 2 second squirt of co2 from the tank into the jar before placing it down. I doubt it’s doing anything, but we’ll see!
