Grow Timeline (59 updates)
Transplanted into 3 gallon fabric pots using Fox Farms 70/30 and 9 teaspoons of GrowDots. Watered in with Recharge. Turned lights up to 100% at 24”. I may adjust the level after I see how the plants react. Definitely ready to be transplanted. 28 days to flower! The countdown begins.
watered with regular water.
watered with regular water and topped all the plants for final time. hopefully 8 tops per plant. the inconsistency in the plants is really starting to show. there are 4 really strong plants, 4 mediocre plants, 3 smaller plants and the runt. I will probably have to make a stand for the 4 smallest plants in flower. checked on the clones and these plants clone well. picture is of a cutting less than 2 weeks old
I transplanted the final 6 clones today. the other 12 I transplanted on Saturday. the first set were starting to yellow so I hit them with a light watering of CloneX @5ml/g today. I transplanted both into coco coir that I amended with 3 tbsp/g Gaia green at the time of transplanting. the first set of clones were watered in with ph 6 water. the second set was watered in with CloneX water ph 6. the first set went into the tent and the second set will stay in the dome for now. I have multiple clones of the best 8 plants
Lollipopped the plants and watered with recharge. Clones are really healthy. watered as well. turned lights on 100 and cut light to 12 hours. humidity is high from the spring rains and I’m buying and ac/ dehumidifier that I will use for my curing closet I’m building by the end of flower.
watered with recharge. rearranged cords and fans. added a 400ml vivosun dehumidifer and I ordered an ac infinity smart plug to control it. Rearranged center row of plants and raised the 2 smallest to help even out canopy.
if you ever come to the states, specifically the Oklahoma/Colorado area I’m always down. I plan on getting my spores from Tanasi Gardens but he only ships to the states. As a matter of fact I think I’m going to order them tonight lol
how does well that dehumidifier help inside the tent. I'm currently having high humidity levels during flower and I'm seeking a solution. I need to drop 7-10 degrees..
that's what I've read online. I'm waiting on a dehumidifier from spider farmer that sits on the outside of the tent, it has a 6 inch hose that goes to the tent. it intakes the air from the lungroom, takes the moisture out and blows it into the tent. I hoping I didn't buy a 200 dollar paper weight
I seen those and the reviews were all good. I foolishly thought a $50 dehu would get me by because I didn’t want to spend spider farmer money lol.
trust me brother, the wife about hung me upside outside and beat me for throwing so much money at a dehumidifier, but I'm not willing to lose a harvest....lose the wife....maybe, but not the harvest..bawhahahah
Pistils are starting to show. lush vegetation. the growth has been pretty consistent so far except for the 2 runts. but they have been keeping up in the stretch since I raised them.
there are 12 plants. I got these seeds from cookies but I have gotten other breeders from North Atlantic seed co mostly. cookies sends no freebies and shipped certified mail. NASC does send out lots of freebies , especially if you browse the breeder deals. Plus you get canna coins for more freebies
those look wild, i was looking at Humboldt seeds next. expensive photos can always be cloned I guess
watered with regular water
Looking great man! Can't wait to see the finished results! Thinking I'm gonna start some clones to join my lady since I'm getting ready to do some clipping. Any suggestions for a newbie?
I decided fuck it I’m going to pollinate the tallest plant and the shortest plant with the FPOG. I used a tiny paint brush and painted a little pollen on one bud of each plant. I may have pollinated some other buds too 😅
watered with recharge. looks like the two buds I painted took the pollen. maybe my first official cross is on its way?!?
I remember seeing a FB thread about pollinated indicators and one of them is pistil appearance. Usually, a pistil will turn a different color once the plant matures but when pollinated, a pistil will retain its white color but have a colored tip. I don’t know how factual this is, it could just be bro science.
watered with recharge.
I’m excited about #3 (pic 1). it’s the smallest plant but has the fattest and terpiest buds thus far. By chance, it’s also one of the extra clones I put outside and was chosen as a breeder because it was the shortest.
looking nice & frosty , like a bowl of Frosted Flakes with more sugar on top after smoking a nice “J”
seems to be maybe 3 phenos in the group. 2 are pretty similar in size and growth rate, the biggest difference being the coloring of the leaves in flower. one seems to want a little more nitrogen. the third pheno is in the first pic. it’s significantly smaller, smells stronger, more trichomes, and has a completely different bud structure. they have 4-5 weeks left. Overall they were have been an ease to grow. 100% of the 12 seeds popped. 100% of the 20 clones rooted from the 8 I took clones from. strong stems from the beginning, bounce right back from any training, stem breaking and defoliation I put th through. definitely strong genetics.
i occasionally rub my forearms on the bottoms of the plants when I water and it makes my arm hairs sticky.
watered with regular water
My AC quit Sunday night, luckily right before lights out. I kept the lights off from Sunday night until 9am this morning to keep my plants from burning. the tent got up to 85 yesterday with lights off. after spending all day yesterday fixing my ac I finally
got it going this morning after the parts store opened. Hopefully no hermies will pop up and I feel the humidity was low enough to avoid mold.
watered with recharge and 5ml of CloneX to correct a slight N deficiency in a few plants.
I thought this may happen. lesser of two evils. The 36 hours of dark and 86• caused hermies on 5 plants at this time. each had singular sacks with one plant having two sacks next to each other. #3 & #6, my breeding pair, have no signs yet. picked off some dead leaves and watered again because the recovery made them thirsty. will continue to monitor. I won’t cull any of these plants because I come up smoking reggie and this is still going to be fire. I’ll dig in deeper when I have time and list out the plants with nanners
color change is on. some buds are turning pink/purple, the upper stems on a couple plants have turned purple and they are starting to fade. I have been picking dying leaves off the bottom for the past few days
looks great
I’m almost certain I will be chopping #3 next week. everything else will live up to its 9-10 weeks
what size tent and how many plants you running? Just curious I'd love to upgrade to a larger tent eventually lol
sheesh I have a 5x5 idk why that looks bigger lol doing 10 in 3 gals myself I feel like if I did 12 it would get too tight
it’s all about setup. that’s why I don’t like autoflowers. I can manipulate my photoperiods to fill my tent. I can let them get as big or stay as small as I want. more plants = less veg time. I have 100 slots in my trellis. I topped these plants twice and got 8 tops on all of them and 12 on one (100 tops) basically 1 month veg time
watered with regular water. the plants are getting closer every day. half the plants have now entered the ripening stage and it smells heavenly in the grow room
omg those are beautiful!
watered with regular water. all the beautiful colors of this plant are really starting to show. Been picking a few water leaves from the plants every day. won’t be much longer
watered with regular water. I am starting to check trichomes.
thank you. I have 9 more seedlings I just transplanted into 4” pots. I’ll let them spend the next 1.5 weeks in those and transplant into 5 gallon pots when this tent is harvested.
there u go nice perpetual harvest . I just outside for summer & will start the tent up after plants harvest & finish drying . I can’t grow in tent in garage.u have tent inside ?
Smokie over here crushing it 💪 big ups to all the growmies out here showing and teaching how it's done.
yea I got it inside my spare bedroom. I have central ac so it helps me keep the temps down. and I’m using my closet for my seedlings. I got another tent but it’s shut down for the summer. I’ll use it to hang my plants
I’m forcing air in the bottom mesh vents on both sides with fans 24/7. I open the top of the two side doors about 6” and keep it 80• and my VPD is set to 1.4 on my humidifier for the day and 1.2 on my heater at night. during veg I keep it closed up with my humidifier at .8. it gets about 83• with the lights on. I have my vent set to 85 during veg and 83 in flower in case one of the fans fail.
through veg and stretch I will move the VPD gradually up from .8 to 1.2 and then keep it between 1.2-1.4 during flower.
💯! In my 3x3 I'm getting ready to switch over to flower. Is it too late to set up a scrog net for them? Any advice if I do set one up?
what I do is a day 1 and ~day 21 defoliation. and then scrog on day 21 after you defoliate. I just use a scrog to hold up and seperate my tops. I don’t wind branches through because that’s a pain to harvest and defoliate.
5 plants have mostly foggy trichomes. just waiting for them to fully ripen and then will harvest those in next day or two. the other 7 are probably still a week out.
Mouth watering 🤤 just flipped the lights to flower for the first time myself hoping for a couple beauties like these 🌸🌸🌸
chopped the two shortest plants before the lights came on and hung in spare tent.
smells fruity and a little floral. Theres seems to be 3 phenos in this group, all of which are fruity but only some have that floral smell
looking very beautiful! good job Smokie!!!
thank you 🙏 you’ll get there one day! I’ve fucked up a lot of grows to get to this point lol. your grow is looking healthy so far! once you do enough experimenting and trying out different methods you will find what works well for you. grow is a science. repeat what works in your enviroment and improve from there.
I know that’s right let me know how it goes brotha! I just snuck a test joint of my last run. it’s pretty damn tasty
watered with regular water
Beautiful screen of green setup. This is the method I will be looking to run next now that the mother plants have been established. Are you flipping these clones to flower once their roots are established and they are transfered or do you give it a week or two to veg more?
these are all from seed. I topped them twice before i flipped to flower to get my canopy filled out. doing clones it would take a month after you transplant to get them this spread out. the more plants you have the less tops you need from each plant. you should watch the “Sea of Green” by Hans. he does a perpetual harvest giving the plants 2 weeks to grow roots, then 2 weeks from transplant. cloning every 2 weeks and harvesting every 2 weeks. and he doesn’t top. I think he averages an ounce per plant in a 6” pot
I will be harvesting sometime tomorrow. all but 2 of the plants are showing Amber the other 2 are foggy. I need to get my other plants transplanted
been super fucking busy with work. finally got these girls chopped though. lights were off from Sunday 7pm and I started chopping at 12pm today. I got them hanging in the spare tent with two ac infinity fans above the canopy blowing out and box fan below the canopy blowing in to circulate the air. they will probably hang until the 16th before I trim
In total I got 2.5 pounds from this harvest. the 2 smallest were 2.5 ounces a plant, the next 2 smallest were 3 ounces per plants, and the other 8 were 3.5 ounces per plant. I’ll post more pics as I smoke some and do smokes reviews and an overall grow review
Damn right, congrats on that harvest for sure!!!! I'm hoping to get there one day very soon lol
my friend i have a few questions how big are your pots? how long are you vegging for? how big of an area does each plant have for growing space? what type of grow light plus wattage? if LED, what brand & type of diodes are used in the lamps? I want to understand your setup and maybe with a little help get that to a minimum of 5oz per plant and possibly 8oz per plant, I guve each plant 2ftx2ft grow area and typically 2ft of buds from bottom bud to top of crown, when useing 5 gallon pots 8oz+perplant and when using 7 gallon i am at average of 13oz per plant and then I am going to see if 10gallon will give me a pound per plant. also veg for 8 to 10wks with last topping no less than 4 weeks before flower will provide 24inchs of buds each branch
12 plants in 3 gallon pots in a 5x5 tent. I had them in 4” pots for 2 weeks as soon as the first true leaves were showing. Then I transplanted into the 3 gallon pots and vegged for 4 weeks. approximately 2 square foot a plant. I topped them twice, once a few days after transplant and the next two weeks after (1 weeks before flower) and ended up with at least 8 tops per plant. a couple had 12. I did a heavy defol day 1 and day 21 of flower. I’m using a Migro Array 750w. the diodes are: 2,730 x white LEDs incl. Samsung LM301H EVO & LM281B pro, 240 x Osram 660nm red LEDS. Fox Farms 70/30 coco coir with 45 grams of Grow Dots per plant and I watered with Recharge ~every 5th day.
thanks! I’ve been digging in already trying out a couple of different jars. it’s a nice variety of flavors
thank you! yes I’m definitely happy. I was hoping I would get 2 lbs since the veg time with grow dots is so short. I’ve never grown with a time release before but it definitely worked out.
there’s one I’ve been smoking on that I like the high and flavor the most so far. it’s a mix of rotten fruit and gas, nice dense dark nuts with vibrant red hairs. and it gives me a good head high that I can feel in my eyes. it was also the highest producer at 3 ounces 24 grams. I’ll make my first review post of it today with a few pics
that’s one ounce on the tray. I tried to take the best pictures I could.
I will consider this pheno 1. so far there are 3 main types of phenos. Pheno 1 is gassier with some of the rotten fruit smell in it. super sticky and dense buds. I went a little wild with my pollen so all the buds at least have the potential of seeds so I have to break down with my fingers. I have to scrub them before I roll because my fingers will stick to the papers. All that I have smoked is a heavy head high. this I can feel in my face and behind my eyes and it’s quite enjoyable. out of half the plants I have tried this is for sure my go to jar.
That looks so good 😅
helluva start. 100% is a sign of good things to come
Thanks! One of the seedlings had 3 cotyledons on her as well. My first time seeing one. It’s like the ganja version of a 4 leaf clover lol
