so i was letting the soil dry out to get some air down, but yesterday, i went from 9:30 am to about 9:30 pm without coming home, and just before i left, i messed around with my fans, and forgot to turn a big one on.

lets just say my plants are looking pretty grim. some of the main colas look just fine, but a few of the smaller ones have started to die.

i just gave them each .5 a gallon of water with some high N food to lower the pH, and also a teaspoon or so of molasses. im not too worried, they always seem to jump back, but i need to start being more careful now that i am in the last month or so of flowering.

God bless weed. althought i know its resilient, after exposing my plant for god only knows what heat (forgot a room fan that helps get the hot air out) for 10 hours, my plants looked terrible. but after just 1 day, with half a gallon of water + light nutes + molasses, they have already bounced back and are growing again.

i just put in a small, 30 cfm DC fan that is on the inside, blowing towards my lights to help get rid of the heat. the temperature around michigan has dropped to the 50's, with it being 66 in my room. This allowed me to add another 50 watts of light, which brings my box temp only to 75 degrees.

future plan: wake up early friday, do 1 final mini-flush (~2-3 gallons per 2 gallon pot) to get rid of any crap that has built up that could cause future problems. after that, im hoping no future problems, and its just a matter of watering, nuting, and one final flushing. im excited.


since this is my first grow, please gimme advice when i should start checking trichs. i think i got another month to go though if the flowering time on the package is accurate.

im trying my best to keep it simple. i previously tried fixing "problems" i thought existed, to only really burn my plant. that was in veg, so im glad i got my bad screw up out of the way early.

yeah, basically just let the soil really dry out, add some water, nutes, molasses, the occasional mini-flush (usually see the most growth after these) and keep the temps down.

as for weeks flowering, i believe i started around september 1st, so its only been a month. flowering time is about 8-10 weeks or so, so another month and some change.

im really not keeping a time table on this, just using it to ball park, but i got the radioshack microscope, so ill let the trichs tell me when.

i am not a fan of couch lock at all. i like when i smoke to feel more euphoric and social. since this is a haze of sorts, i dont want it to act like speed, so im probably going to harvest at about 50% cloudy, 50% amber trichs.

i recently got some silver haze, which has been one of my first times knowing what strain i bought, so you can tell i dont smoke very good weed often. so its been super chill smoking that, and very social, and AH #3 is crossed with super silver haze, so im super excited to see how this is.

edit: i take back the not smoking very good stuff. i have been smoking great shit the last 2 weeks. my friend is pretty connected all of a sudden, and he had some grape tasting stuff, and he recently has been raving about this stuff called "warlock," which he said is 20X better than anything he has had previously. ive tried his nevilles haze one time, and that just kicked my ass it was so good. so im going to pick an eighth of that up tomorrow :) ill let you know how it is. i hear its just all crystals :)

fuck, i didnt realize how long it takes to filter water through a brita, and do a 3 gallon flush for 1 pot...
so i only flushed one. i also wiped the edge with neem oil, and cleared out all the dead matter.

judging right now, id say the one plant has about 1/4 to 1/2 an ounce on her, so i am well on my way of a goal of an ounce.

im flushing the other one tomorrow.

enjoy

its all that could fit in my rubbermaid if i wanted to grow 2 plants. its also helped keep the plants manageable in terms of height. things are lookin good. ill post some updates soon, probably come sunday.

Remember! flowering produces more buds in the last 2 weeks of flowering then any other time of flowering. so dont be surprised to pull off an ounce from each plant ;)

I just sat here and read this whole grow... very well done...

Im growin 3 bagseeds with 6 cfl's that I stole from lowes =D woot woot haha (dont do this... it was hard as hell) but anyways ya... I look forward to your harvesting day.

thanks for reading my journal too. i tried to keep it as straight to the point and have as many pictures as i could.

i cant wait for harvest day. but before then, i really need to build a carbon filter, or else my room is going to stink to high heaven, and my room mates will all know what ive been doing in my "school project."

send me a link of your journal when you start it :)
