First grow. Juiced!

[highdave]

I'm making a thread for my first grow. Check back in if interested. Comments and feedback are appreciated.

Check my journal entries if you want to see how it started. Basiclly a home made micro box made from a storage container. A few Cfls. And a fan or 2. Broke soil on 1-20. So we're a little past 3 weeks now.

Seeds are from a friend who was breeding but fucked up and everything was pollinated by 3 males. So the female was BlackBerry kush. Male could be las Vegas bubba, the white or blue power. I have MANY more! Wish I had room to pheno hunt.

Upgraded their home:
3x3 black out tent
315 sunsystem LEC
6in max fan(passive intake)
Oscillating fan inside (which will have to. be moved when they get bigger)
Small desk fan blowing air up
Bowl of water to up the humidity

2 gallon fabric pots
Oregon's own number 4 with some extra perlite

RO from the store
Botanicare CNS17 Grow 5m/l per gallon
Cal mag 2.5m/l per gallon
Drop or two of superthrive for tranplants and soaks

I think they look pretty good with the exception of the one that's a little yellow. Looks like a mag. defiency think it May want more.
And one that does not like a lot of water. Still trying to figure out what she likes

Thanks for looking
Peace and love

Day 26(5 days in New tent)
Moved light to 18" above canopy
RO with
Feed 10ml/G CNS Grow
5ml/G Cal Mag
20% run off
Climate: right now 77.8 RH 41%
High: 80.2 RH 42%
Low: 67.8 RH 39%
Trying to figure out what's wrong with a couple of them. One looked over watered but I let it try out pretty well since transplant. Gave it a good soak we will see what happens. It's been sensitive since the beginning hopfully can figure her out soon.

The other one is really yellow. Maybe there's a lockout in the soil because I'm feeding with cal mag. And the other ones Don't show any of the same signs. Don't have a soil ph meter only the drop tester. Also has a 4 blade mutation in second set of leaves.

The others are looking good. One of them is shooting out nodes the others are all lacking behind. Are the others stunted and lagging? I feel like there should be more node growth.


Start of a deficiency? Will be watching closely


And a family pic.

Thanks for looking

For some reason it says I don't have access to that now. So I thought I'd throw it here. If this is the wrong place I'll be happy to move it. If I can figure it out how. Haha

Dam these babies have blown up been about 10 days since last pics. Still trying to find the sweet spot with the watering. Some are bigger than others and are taking more water.

They look ok. Something tells me they could be better. The big leaves have Some droop to them and one is kinda wrinkled almost looks like it got pinched on something. Which I don't think I did?
Anybody have any idea of what could be going on?

And then this one has nice leaves but is lighter green and has some texture to it. I don't know if you can make it out.

Lemme know what you guys think.

Dam been about a month since I've updated this.

Anyways I left for a work trip for a couple weeks and came back to madness. The person watching the babies I didn't want doing anything but watering and adjusting the light. They got huge, light maxed out at the top of my tent. Panic mode set in as I didn't even switch to 12/12 yet. I started supercroping and tieing down everything I could. And turned to 12/12.

Got a trellis net but didn't like it. So I made a custom boarder for my tent out of pvc. As a bonus it helped keep the sides of the tent from sucking in too much. Threw metal fencing on top and made myself a scrog. We are now almost at week 2 since flip.

I think they look pretty good. For missing a couple weeks. And a First grow. Definatly have holes in the canopy but I'm just gonna let em do what they do.

Lookin pretty good considering the situation you ended up in

Awesome for your first grow bud, look forward to seeing how they turn out.

Ps very controversial but I find defoliation to be very effective

I did a very VERY little bit of lolipoping. Just the bottom 6 inches or so I want to see just how far this light penetrates. I'll be making hash with the smalls as well. May tinker with taking more off on the next runs.

Thanks man hopefully I can keep em healthy

Took some more undergrowth off last night as well. I'll grab some pics when lights come on.

Today marks 14 days since flip.
75 days from seed

Nothing special Botanicare cns line. Seems to work pretty well but need to sit once mixed to fully disolve. Cal mag and liquid karma.

Couple shots of the buds and a little more trimmed off the bottom. The one in the back is gonna be a frosty lady.

Day 18
These girls are looking happy and gooey.
Smelling very pungent
Edit: little high forgot the pics

 

[highdave]

Day 21 since flip to 12/12.
Cns bloom @ 10ml/g
Liquid karma @10ml/g
Cal mag @ 5ml/g
Feed feed water has been my routine
Water with 5ml Cal mag

Everything has been going pretty smooth since I've been back. Haven't done much but take a couple leaves here and there for a little more air flow thru the canopy.

Day 26
God dam these plants are beautiful. I can't help but smile opening my tent up. There really is nothing like growing yer own!
Everything is going nicely few leaves dieing off on the inside of the plant.

One in the back is starting to fatten up. She looks so lovely ..2nd 3rd 4th pic..

The one in the front is moving a long but more slowly. Sadly One I picked to put in a bigger pot before flip turned out to be a male. It was pulled and this one was put in the 5gal. From a 2/3 full 3gal. Also stretching a little more maybe more sativa. Which would make flowering slightly longer. ...5th and 6th pic..

 

[highdave]

Start of week 4

Babies just chuggin along. Beginers luck mixed with a lot of research can get you a long way.

 

[highdave]

Day 35 of flower(103 days from seed)
Added hydroplex to the mix. @2.5ml per gallon Burned the tips a little.
Starting to chunk up nicely. Back one will be done sooner for sure. 2 to 3 more weeks I'm guessing. Front will take a little longer. Scope coming from Amazon tomorrow so I'll be able to tell for sure.
And bud porn

Ladies lookin sexy. Got too drunk and forgot to water last night. Came home to a little droop. Gave em a feed and they sprung back real quick.

Pics are shitty can't really see how deep the buds go down in the canopy. One of them is a good 18 inches getting harder by the day. The one in the back is already Hella dense
