Thx man!!
Rough start to my day (nothing to do with my girls) so it's nice hearing this.
It's my first grow and want to do it right and my girls to be as happy as can be.

Quick Picture Update:

I was watering every 4-5 days and I watered the girls yesterday around Supper time and soil looks like it's drying on the top faster which is good
Looks like I might start watering just a bit every 2-3 days and switching up between:
Day 1: Water
Day 2: Coconut water
Day 3: Tea (EWC/Molasses/yeast/kelp/aloe water)
Day 4: Water
Day 5: Barley SST
Day 6: Water
Day 7: Aloe Water
Day 8: Repeat

Open to advice

Girls are starting to recoup from topping and pick up their speed again

ONE WEIRD THING:
- I have had one plant who shed seed last and has been behind.
- Has mutated leaf so extra leaf as you can see in some picts
- New Growth is missing a leaf or half a leaf
- Shorter than rest.

Does anyone know why this would be as I bought DNA Genetics which is supposed to top Genetics.

Thx Everyone and HAPPY EASTER!!!

Looks like the shock is over and the girls are picking up speed and growing again
Thought I would share a picture of each and the temp/humidity levels.

There is one plant that seems to be having trouble,not growing height wise but still have great growth just different size leafs or missing a leaf etc.... also has a leaf with extra leaflet lol

Either way the room is starting to smell nice and the plants seem to be drinking a lot more.
Was watering every 4-5 days and watered 2 nights ago and may have to water tonight.

Thanks Everyone for Following

Ur doing a good job. As u have learned with topping they take time to recover. Make sure u dont top for a good 2 to 3 weeks before flowering, so u do not stunt them. The goal is to shape them to fill in the canopy as completely as possible when they finish. To do this takes runs under ur belt with the same strain. Make notes of how tall they r going into flower n how much they stretch when finished. Then u should have a better idea next round, of how big u want them going in.

What size pots r u in? And how much flower light wattage r u going to use?

I won't be topping them again and instead training them through a screen.
My 12 COB Array will give my plants more than what they need for PAR - my wattage is just under 700watts as it's highly efficient.
I am going to have 4 plants in my 5x5 flower tent for their flower stage and each will be in their own 15 gallon smart pot with their own 2x2 SCROGCO screen attached for training them through come flower time.

I am going to take 2 of my 6 plants and move them to my 2x4 tent and veg them for another 2 months and take clones from them.

That is the plan for now

The girls received a nice drink of Aloe Water tonight.
I am now using Citric Acid and letting my tap water sit (soon bubble) for 24 hours before using it.
My PH was 9.1 and I adjusted it to 7.0

Also due to peak season for hydro i was doing 16/8 for light on/off but I am starting tomorrow morning to switch to 18/6 which means they will get an extra 2 hours of light per day for the next 30 days!
Also another great bonus is my missing array should be arriving tomorrow so adding 33% extra light going forward.

Here are some quick pictures and have a wonderful day!

Happy 420

Happy 420

HAPPY 420 Everyone!!!
Also my repaired array came in so now I have my full light in my tent --- finally after 3 weeks of waiting!!!!!

I watered them tonight and I am going to brew some ewc/molasses/yeast/kelp/barely sst with water so I can water them on Sunday and my additional soil which is cooking and waiting for when i transplant in a week or so.

Here are some pictures.
Have a great one everyone!!!

hey man, great grow!
Love what your doing with the coco water, aloe, etc.
I have never heard of using coconut water but i live in a country where coconuts are everywhere. What's the benefit of it?
Also when you say cooking you soil what do you mean?

For coconut water it's like aloe but higher in K I believe.
Was told it's like a stimulant for plants.

For soil cooking I made my own organic soil. If you look at page one of journal I have my soil mix laid out
I'm letting it sit in containers to "cook" after 4 weeks + you have a soil with all the amendments and what the plant needs and its more available for the plant and helps protect against nutrient burn.

I'm still learning myself.
Will be updating this weekend.
Currently brewing a tea which I'll use tomorrow to feed the girls and I topped them a second time around 5:30pm
Yesterday.

Giddy up!

Looking good dude.

For your first grow you're showing up at the rodeo like a mothafuckin rhinestone cowboy for sure.

Plants look good.
Nice COB rig too now I'm jealous.

I hate you.

Haha thanks, love your post haha.
Yeah it wasn't cheap but thought what's the point in getting $500 now and then upgrade later when I can get a cob light that's upgradable and has everything I need

I'll be updating soon since I've topped a second time and given my girls a nice mixed organic Brew and have updated pictures.
Also should have my veg tent in this week:
3.3x3.3x6.5 w/ 2 x t5-2ft 4bulbs so that I can cover the whole tent minus 4 inches per side.

Getting excited!!!!
Going to transplant them this weekend or next and flip them to flower mid May.
Should have it harvested and dried by August 15th.

Yahoo!!!
Then I take 10-15 clones from my mother and do SOG.

Hello Folks,

It’s been awhile as I have been quite busy with work and trying to order and setup my Veg Tent and light.
Good News - My vent set up has arrived (minus 4 x T5 bulbs which stayed on the truck while I collected someone else’s package…. sucks to be us lol —- good thing is I have 2 lights and currently only need to use one)

Veg SetUp:
3.3 x 3.3 x 6.5 - Mars Hydro Veg Tent
4” Fan and Carbon Filter + timer controller and ducting
(2) - 4Bulb 2ft Fixtures to ensure I cover entire tent with light
Power Bar / Timer
Additional 7 day Timer
3x3 flood tray (arriving by Friday)
Also my plants are taking off again since toping them a second time and adding in my 3rd array of lights!
I have found my mother plant
Straggles the fall behind has ton of new growth and doing amazing
TwinPeaks has jumped over night with two amazing tops on each side stretching out
Others are doing amazing with nice new growth!!
I am either going to be transplanting them into their 15 gallon totes tomorrow or Sunday as I am gone Friday evening into Saturday evening.
They could stay longer in their 2 gallons but I need to clear the room where the soil and totes are to make room for the veg tent.
Once I have the Veg tent set up I will be moving my mother plant in there alone to enjoy and grow!

Thank you all for following and have a great one!!!

Hello Friends,

It's been a busy weekend and I finally have time to do a quick update.
I've transplanted all my plants minus one which is the mother plant which I will be doing tonight.
The reason for the delay for this plant is due to this weekend being swamped and not being able to finish setting up my 3x3 tent. (Tonight will be the final tent set up + mother transplant + Scrogco screens put on my others in 5x5 tent)

Now back to what's been done for this current update.
I've been able to get 5of6 of them transplanted. I was originally going to be doing 4 plants only in my 5x5 but I will only need one mother so I put #5 in the middle, raised up in a 10 gallon pot The more the merrier

I transplanted them on Friday morning and set up my 3x3 tent only. Today fixed up the filter, fan and ducts + 1 T5 figure and 1 more to go tonight

Here are some pictures.
I hope everyone had a great weekend and thank you for following along.

I will update once the mother and other text are good to go - girls are up in 30 minutes


HazePhase

Hello Folks,

Alright so here is a point form update of what’s been done:
- Set up my 3x3 Veg Tent which includes:
-small clip fans X 2 (one on top of light and other blowing on mother plant)
-Clone King 36 site machine
-4” intake fan with Carbon Filter (Fan sits on top of tent to free up room)
-3x3 Flood Tray
-2 x2 foot 4 bulb T5 light systems
- Set up a 18” Fan attached to the ceiling of my 5x5 tent for air circulation and strengthening plants
- Transplanted the mom into her 20 gallon smart pot and moved under T5’s in 3x3 tent
- Installed 4x Scrogco Screens and trained plants in Flower Tent
- Since I have extra plant I tied it down to the itself to replicate the screen formation
- Lollipopped all my plants (first time)
- Took clones for my first time and had 4 good looking ones that are now in my Clone King 36
- Watered Plants with Barley SST a few days ago and watered again regular water last night
- Have some soil cooking left over that I need to water

That is everything up to date.

Tomorrow is going to mark Week 7 since they broke through the soil and I am going to flip the switch and add the other 6 Cobs to the equation 3,000K lights and get this party started into Flower Power!

Flower time is 9 weeks on average and I am planning for 10 weeks in case.

This will leave me 4.5 weeks to Harvest, Dry, Trim, Cure so I can bring it with me on my trip to BC and Alberta!!!!!!

I will leave my mother Veg until I get back (have a friend water her 2-3 times a week while away) then I will be taking clones off of her for a SOG - 15 plant grow for faster harvest and to start a new strain

I’ve added some pictures of my clones, plants in screens and tied down and my mother plant under the T5.

One thing to note if ordering a 3x3 flood tray for a 3x3 tent it’s actually 41 inches when you equate for the lip and edge of it…. fun times… I had to cut this hard plastic off and then sand down the edges and now it’s in there!

If you have any questions or want any other pictures please let me know.

Have a great day everyone!
(sorry tried to condense)

Somebody's been busy. Nice update bud. Like ur scrog screens. Sucks about the tray adjustment. I had to learn about those a while back too. They sell them in id (inside diameter) or od (outside diameter) dimensions. So if u want that true 3' foot print, ur tray is gonna be several inches bigger cause of the lip n sides, as u found out the hard way. Anyways, nice fix, everything looks great.

thanks man

Yeah I found out the hard way but I was able to use some tools I've never used before and found a way which made me feel successful LOL

Thanks for the comments and have a great weekend.

Thought it was time for a quick update.
today at 5pm will mark officially 7 days of all 12 cobs light and 12/12 lighting.

Small hairs starting to show however two days ago i trimmed everything that was in the shade under the screen which was quite a lot.

From just pruning under the screen I was able to make 14 clones from it - see pictures (this is second attempt doing this ever and first time i didn't do it right so looking forward to this round)

I have added since last post:
--Soil Inoculant
--Red Wigglers
--12/12 lighting
--All 12 Cobs on

What's new coming up?

--letting plants grow now, no more training unless fan leafs to push under.
--Starting new herb tea for flowering which will include
--------Bat Guano, Kelp/alfalfa/crab meal, humic acid, EWC, molasses
--Adding a top cover to 20 gallon mother which has several types of clover, fenugreek, peas, buckwheat etc...
--Will be adding seeding for this so it's growing naturally to provide and control nutrient uptake
--Continued pruning under screen and supporting top cola's if needed
--Blue corn SST to be rotated with Alfalfa SST a few times in flower
--Debating about buying some Vero18 1750k LED's to add to my current set up and also thinking about adding one more rail for a total of 16 cobs and 4 rails.

Thank you to everyone who has been following along.
The girls are getting big and every day!!

Heard week 3 and week 8 are magical in flower so starting week 2 and I already feel like it's magical

Enjoying the growing life!!
Have a great Friday everyone!

Sorry to those that are actually following along, it's been awhile as I've been busy with plants, life and work

It's day 23 of flower and I am done training them under the screen.
Everything was even however there is one plant where the main branches took off so they are about 5 inches higher than the rest.
I know I am to have a completely even Canopy but there is no other way to get it to do this at this time and it's only a few tops so I will just try and make sure they don't case too much shadow on the areas below.

I've been following a:
Water/Water/Tea/Water/Water/Tea/Water/Water/SST -- type of watering cycle.

My teas are in a previous post but now include Bat Guano to help with flowering as it's Phosphorus heavy.
(Molasses/kelpmeal/crabmeal/alfalfameal/EWC/RockDust/HumicAcid/BatGuano)

They have been trimmed and pruned and I could probably take off a bit more but I am going to leave it as I've been doing a few days and one big day so I don't want to stress them anymore.
I've never cloned before so when I was pruning I ended up with 19 clones in my Clone King which are coming along nicely - pictures attached.

I will end up with some smaller buds below but this is my first grow and I wanted to see how everything grows and how I can learn to prune and trim for next go around.

My mother plant has been tied down now as she was getting too big and she has till August 15th till I take clones from her for my next cycle

Well I think that is everything.
Here are some pictures.

Have a wonderful day everyone and thank you for following along!
HazePhase

surprised you use a cloner. Mines been on the shelf in storage for a while. Aloe and rapid rooters are so much kinder to me.

I use aloe as wel but put in clone king 36 after.
Why are you surprised I used the cloner?

What's rapid rooters?
Thx
