Day 3

I transplanted my baby, and i added perlite to the top of the pot. I haven't water her with the nutes yet, but when I do I plan to start at 1/4 strength for the first week. Than bump it to full if I don't see signs of nute burn.

This is going to be the first time i am using nutes, so any advice would be coo.

Day 5
I just watered her. I added 1/2 tsp of grow big and 1/2 tbl of Big Bloom. I used 4 cups from my 1 gallon water container. When next week rolls around I think i will either go 1/2 or full strength depending on how my baby is looking.

A little update. I plan to follow this chart for my feeding schedule. You can download the PDF from fox farms website.

i checked on my baby and there is signs of SLIGHT nute burn. So looks like i plan to water with nutes every other water. And maybe keep it 1/4 or less strength till she is root bound.

The nute burn was slight so i am going to keep on with the 1/4 nute feeding. I think by day 20 or so is when i will top her.

I am starting to think i will redo the mod. Too much heat is getting on my baby, and now i think she will love me more if i had the 120mm in a "free" position. Stoner mistake . The mod is covering 2 80mm intake holes, so more work for my 92mm fan. What you think?

Other than me modding; She is doing great. The lst technique is 3 pieces of string. When i use up the 3rd i remove the last 2 and wait 2-3 days for new growth. From what I see if i had her growing vertically i think she would be short and fat

Day 16
I just topped 3 of her lower arms. I could have done more, but i think by the time the 3 lowers start to grow i will be able to top my main stem. I also switched to full strength nutes. I saw my very first bug today. It looked like a TINY orange worm. It was sitting on my babies arm under the 2700k bulb. Anyone know the intruder? I will be spraying her with my spray bottle more frequently now. Other than that she is looking great so far. Tiny smell, but could build up if it's windy.

I tied most of her arms down for better light penetration. And she's a thirsty girl. Recovery is looking good too. I think i am going to switch to flowering saturday or sunday. Enjoy.

Day 22
Flower Day 1
Today I changed the lights and the time from 24/0 to 11/13. This one thread the guy said that 11/13 will produce more bud, but less resin. So I plan to have them on 11/13 for half the flowering process than switch to 12/12. Fingers crossed for a new approach .

I am also thinking to snipping off her big fan leaves. I think that would help her to get more light to the tops and the inside. I know that the leafs hold nutes, and when it's the end the buds will absorb those nutes. But I think in this point in her life she would want to grow more bud sites. I also think it would allow her to grow a bit quicker. I wouldn't have done this with my last grow since she got root bound a lot quicker with out food.

Water her with flowering combo. 1 tsp tiger bloom (so she gets used to it). 1 tbl big bloom.

IT SAYS to feed with ever other watering. But i haven't been following that direction. From what i see if i followed that, i wouldn't have nute burn. so that's the cost to do business.

Day 27
Flower 6
Lots of pictures
She is starting to get a bit sick. I should have mixed 1/4 strength with the tiger bloom. Till i determine she looks better. She will be drinking only water. And I don't plan to make a new batch of feed. I also did a lot of training. Well time for bed i got surgery in the morning. Stay true.

I cut a lot of big fan leafs. I think she will get more light to the bud sites now. And i thought today she might want some room. i had her on 6 cd cases. My lights are drooping by about 10 degrees or so down. It's either going to help. or hurt. time will tell. I feed my baby with only water. I think i need to hold off on the food till i get ph up/down. pz my bro hooked me some killer cookies.

The tiger bloom really messed with my baby. I am going to flush her right now. But I wonder if i should add 1 tbl per gallon espom salt.
The leaf looks like rust spots from the tip of the leaf toward the stem. Could that be ph to high

I was thinking about mixing 1 tbl espom salt per gallon. But i don't understand what the salt does. So I have been flushing her aka watering her two days in a row 21-22. I am going to get a ph test kit. The tiger bloom messed with my ph way to much. I think my next water, i will just feed her big bloom. then next week 30th it will be the trio, since i will have the ph kit by than.
