First grow journal

[Kenster420]

Im still a crappy grower with no green thumb what so ever. But its been almost one year since my first grow and i wanted to do this journal to better track my methods and improve on consistency. I've tried autos, regulars, feminized, and my own pollen chucking. This being my 5th cycle I'm going to record everything i can to look back on. Finally confident enough and bought some decent breeder packs. Just sprouted 2 Fem Ethos Lilac Diesel #22 x Mandarin Cookies. 2 Fem Mosca Cookies and Cream x Gushers. 2 Reg FatCat labs Grapefruit Runtz x . 2 Fem Aura Genetics Desert Runtz x Chemmo. 2 Reg of my own cross of a Bag seed x Banana OG male. 1Fem Banana OG from ILGM. Sprouted them last Sunday July 31st in left over Fox Farm Oceanforest. Hopefully its not too hot for them. Considering germinating 2 fem FatCat Labs Carnage Breath because 3 Banana Og failed to sprout. I haven't been to successful cloning with rockwool and dynagro rooting gel. But I'll clone this bad mama soon when i decide on rootriot and clonex or just DIY my own dwc cloner. Also add whatever clones make it, but they are not looking good at all haha. Feel free to comment suggestions, need all the recommendations possible.

Just did my day 21 in to 12/12 lolipop clean up! Did a tea yesterday with Dr. Earth Flowergirl. Wanted to defoliate a little for more light penetration. But ill wait a few days or week for them to heal up a little. Didn't lolipop as hard as i should've before flower. Some of these girls are stacking nice and starting to get frost. Wish the canopy was more even. But with the amount of strains and first time growing most of them. Guess it could be worse.

7 days from sprout. Ocean forest is to hot. Lowered light power, mom light is added ppfd from side. Will germinate 2 Banana OG and 2 ethos Krux (EC16) x Lilac Diesel #22 tonight to make up for 4 duds. IlGM send me a 20 pack for only 5/20 successfully germinating and 1 being a male lol. We'll see if these redeem the horrible experience with the first pack.

13 days from sprout, 1 bk is deformed an slow. I sprouted 2 new BK and 2 FatCat labs Carnage Breath. Only 1 Carnage Breath is sprouted, other seed was light greenish an i don't have hope. 9 came in a 7 pack so im not to pressed. Everything else seem good so far.

Day 17, when do y'all like to transplant out of solo cups? I'll do it this weekend when i get a chance. I'll wait longer if that's unnecessary.

I delayed transplanting again, guess im on day 37. 1 gal pots foxfarm ocean forest with mykos. Water with recharge. I have a sample pack of Nectar for the gods to play with. Looks like potassium and nitrogen defiencient. New soil should take care of that. I may give a light feeding of Nectar for the gods. New 5x5 tent for veg. Have a 720w bar light but just using 480w qbs for now until it fills out. Still have clones in solo cups for now

Day 50 update, plants are really taking off. Im debating on topping 1 more time. But worried about space. I pretty much will move these in to a 4x8 tent. Now that I'll be winter soon. I should be able to remove my dehumidifier and use the full 4x8. Any recommendations on what to do with these moms. 1 is worth keeping, but the other 2 are nothing special compared to my recent harvest. I guess ill flower them in a 2x4 area in my 4x8. But im concerned about height. I didn't train at all. I need to stop over planting and just grow 4 or 6 to a 4x4 space. My next run will include Exotic Genetics, Ethos, Fat Cat, and my own f2 crosses. Glad i have the 5x5 veg room now

Day 60, I've given them a boogie brew tea. Realized i can just make something similar with what i have. Also watered in some black soldier fly frass. Some kelp and calmag. Attempted to make a alfalfa tea ferment. I used alfalfa meal, lactic acid, molasses and filtered water. I let it sit for 3 days an stirred every 12 hrs or so. Apparently that is how you get the tricantonol out of it. Rather than a aerobic environment. The lactic acid should help break down the alfalfa meal. But if anyone knows a better way please let me know. Last grow i top dressed alfalfa meal in the beginning of flower. Hoping tricantonol would help. Most of my buds are pretty dense. But I'll experiment a little with the ferment and how long i should age it. I'll transplant into 3 gal pots again unfortunately due to amount. But I'm confident with Nectar for the gods, i can make sure i have no deficiencies pop up in flower anymore. I always struggle in flower with timing my topdresses. Considering c02. With my qb lights i can average 1000-1300 ppfd across my canopy.
But next run will be 5 an 7 gal final pots.

Update, i really need to transplant, clone and flip soon.
