Mid of week 6 of 🌹... Thriving and Surviving in spite of my continuous effort to ruin my plants 😆😅😂😭😐 so if some of my leaves look little funky it’s probably light burn ,because I tried to add in Mars Hydro 600 to Parfactworks 2000 and 1000🤦🏾‍♂️ so I overdose my plants with happiness 🤷🏾‍♂️.. nevertheless we still rolling..no signs of pest or stress.. for my newbies like me if you don’t already know try taking some night photos with flash on your buds.. beautiful.. I want to Welcome y’all to Candy Land👨🏾‍🍳💚 🌱 pictures 1-16 (light off) rest (lights on)

36 days into 🌹.. smelling good😩.. looking good😍.. I’m feeling good🔥🌱💨 .. Ladies Thriving and Surviving.. Also I got question for all my experience growers and researchers.. what would be the best and EASIEST approach to flushing my plants.. we’re in a 4x4 tent with two trellises... they’re in fabric pots on plant caddies with no drainage holes just slots to catch run off.. no idea too crazy..

4 years ago

Week 4 of 🌹.. Thriving and Surviving.. my watering has been nute.. nute.. then ph’d water only..I had to adjust the amount of water in each pot to get them back on schedule together even though I’m still watering my taller Blue Dream and Gold Leaf more than my shorter Blue Dream.. buds are looking nice in my Newbie opinion.. since last week I found very tiny larvae or worms in my run off.. also small sort of white maybe light tan-ish color bug in the top of my soil.. the don’t look like worms..I check every inch of the plant.. no signs of stress or damage to plant.. no webs.. eggs.. no spots.. discoloration or anything.. there’s been no flying insects either.. I’m using Bug Blaster by Robert Bergman’s Plant Food line from ILGM.. it’s all natural ingredients able to use as foliar spray without harming buds.. I’m guessing mites in my soil and do y’all think they’re soil mites instead spider mites since I haven’t seen any spider mites signs.. thank y’all for y’all insight..

Days 20 of 🌹... Sooooo.. yeah.. Girls gotta Day 21 haircut.. hopefully I helped more than hurt.. got nute water afterwards so it should have everything it need to make comeback of the year.. opening them really allowed me to see my mistakes this grow.. but it being my first grow I’m happy with my progress..

Hopefully thriving and surviving.. 2 days after transplant..

4 years ago

So about last night.. one thing I was terrified about after doing my initial research before growing was transplanting..I mean you hear plant going to into shock after you made 50+days, stunted growth when everybody say they’re looking good.. and thought of my newbie hands touching something so delicate.. that’s why if you would see in my journal I immediately transplanted in a 3 gallon (20/20 was a mistake) after germination hoping to avoid this.. Well glad I listen to y’all good ppl about transplanting before flowering and going to 5 or 7 gallon..as can see in the pictures roots wrapped around the newspaper and perlite..I can’t imagine this making it through 9-10 weeks of flower..🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 hopefully I didn’t mess up..

4 years ago

Girls got water today.. just plain ph’d tap water with some cal/mag.. they seem happy to me.. dancing with led god..hahaha *my villain laugh lol this second watering like that plan to transplant to 5 gallon fabric bag when the soil dries.. my Bud experts.. any play by play advice.. do’s and don’ts.. tips.. nuggets whatever.. also how long after this can i go to flowering and should lollipop beforepr afterwards.. is it realistic goal to transplant and lollipop(not at the same time) and recover to go into flowering before day 60.. preciate y’all 💪🏾✊🏾

Thriving and Surviving in their new home.. any suggestion or advice on AC or portable AC options or how cooling your tents when temp get little high.. also venting without intake fan.. are y’all leaving your bottom flaps open??

It’s beginning to look a lot like Xmas.. yea I know this is not top of the line but man..I been scheming on all this stuff for a long time.. from convincing my wife to making sure I’m not hurting the house because I be wanting to go spend crazy and not budget and buy top of the line..I can finally say I got all the basics that I wanted.. so moving from my closet to the tent..I feel official now..Blak Ice Cannabis.. the girls got watered this morning with just ph water because I’m out of my veg stage nutes and were moved to tent few hrs before lights out..

4 years ago

👀👀🤯 for some reason I only had video for today so the picture is a screenshot of it.. today was weird day..as you see in the pics all my girls across the board were dropping.. no high temp no crazy humidity and the color was looking fine.. so only culprit had to be they were thirsty however finger test it was still little damp which about what I expected for the day before watering and soil moisture meter said it was 4-5 which is at the edge of green but heading towards red which is another expected sign my day before watering and usually on this day right about hr or two before lights out they would do this... I misted them and few hrs they picked up towards the light also moved the light up... guess it wasn’t that weird after I wrote it out but if any my experts read something else btw the lines.. much appreciated 💪🏾✊🏾

Ladies got watered today and attempted to prune.. removing dead, sick leaves and stems.. some inner fan leaves and large ones covering bud sites.. they all started praying to LED god so I’m assuming I didn’t over stress them on my first try.. Thriving and Surviving .. Any my experience ppl question?..I know you can’t give me nothing accurate but just through the eye test am I going to have enough room in closet or I need to move to bigger area? Thank y’all as always Happy Growing

Thriving and Surviving.. ladies get water and lite pruning tomorrow

4 years ago

Thriving and Surviving.. Question? Is it normal or my plants trying to tell me something.. about 2 to 3 weeks ago my plants gave off a sweet grassy smell and now it’s a like stale musty smell.. is that just smell of baby going to adult or they trying to tell me something.. haven’t done research yet but it was something I wanted to run by y’all if it’s a common occurrence..

4 years ago

Thriving and Surviving.. adding water today.. ph’d @ 6.27-6.35 with Robert’s Bergman’s Plant Food GrowTime nutes with half a dose of Cal/Mag.. I used Fox Farm Sledgehammer with last watering to help with flushing salts in soil, so I notice that soil is draining a lot better.. Run off PH was btw 6.17-6.26.. question thinking of moving into a tent.. is it essential I get two inline duct fans for intake and outtake.. and is it fact that as my plant grows the RH is increasing? If so should u be investing in dehumidifier and if yes to tent with fans should I instead invest in digital humidifier?.. any advice of the essentials I need at this stage if I decided to move from my closet to grow tent.. thank y’all Happy Growing

Thriving and Surviving.. you know the slogan or maybe not but it’s all a newbie can hope for when the reading,research,forums and gold advice from y’all good ppl go to work.. question or maybe I’m tripping.. my ladies seem to know when it’s close to lights off and they begin droop down from praying about 1hr away from lights out than bam everything worshiping the LED come light on.. is this possibility that they sense that or they trying to tell me something else...or I’m just a high Happy Growing

4 years ago

Sooooo.. this what happen today.. plants been drying out the soil a little faster so I decided to increase the water (1st mistake) and 2 out the 3 show signs of overwatering 🤦🏾‍♂️I didn’t use no nutes this time.. I’m using Fix Farm Ocean Forest soil and it was recommended to Fox Farm Bush Doctor Sledgehammer flush every 4th week..so was it 2tsp per gallon.. water is tap and ph’d @6.36-644,. Added some vivosun trellis...yeeahh I must was pretty high to order 5 by 15ft trellis for 3.5 by 2ft closet but I cut what I need and it to wall.. Temporary until I get a tent..I been satisfied with closet so far but looking down the road we losing room or experience eyes you think not lmk.. also please someone break it down simple to me should I be cutting small fans covering sites or can I continue tucking them out the way or should in just be focusing on getting as tops as I can and then handle pruning down the road like before or in flower..🤷🏾‍♂️ all of your opinions are welcome critiques too...also if my brothers Plantman and Caliban see this post y’all felt it was my nutes that was making my run off acidic, you may have been correct because i checked after this watering and it 6.24-6.28 across all plants..so another question should in increase ph from my normal settings when I add nutes to ensure this not happening 🤷🏾‍♂️ Thank y’all Happy Growing

4 years ago

Thriving and surviving however close to lights off the ladies did get a tad bit darker green..I will have pictures of it in the morning if nothing changes over night.. it’s about time to hit the soil with Sledgehammer flush.. so hopefully any toxicity or nute lock can be address tomorrow if it’s the case.. like all my post I welcome all advice. Critiques.. whatever.. my grow is y’all grow.. Happy Growing 💪🏾✊🏾🌱

My three ladies got their feed today..1/2 tsp per gallon of Robert Bergman’s Growtime Fert. in PH tap water btw 6.1-6.3 and PPM @ 701.. we’re still in 1st week of Veg... run off for two of my plants was 5.8 &5.9 and the other was 5.67.. my experience growers is this alarming? Also if anyone reading I gave all plants same amount of water.. would different plants have different amount of run off or do you think my soil in the one that’s not running off as much as other is too compact or not able to drain properly.. the plant in question is the Gold Leaf while the other two are Blue Dream..? Is this normal?.. solutions if you feel there’s a problem.. I top two of my plants today the ones that I only been lst-ing..collage picture is before and after watering..I like those pictures of them coming alive lol.. thanks for advice Happy Growing✊🏾💪🏾🌱

I FIM’d one of my Blue Dream(far left) and it’s getting bushy as hell.. amazing to see the stems race to the top.. my other two, Blue Dream and Gold Leaf have only been LST’d and needed more ties.. any advice about trellis.. like when to use it and how to use as the plant grows taller? Is your height for trellis based on “how high”you want your plant or it’s based on what stage.

Nothing new today.. Soil still just little moist so we’ll be adding water tomorrow. Also will introducing its first dose of nutes as well. Anybody reading if you could leave your tips for watering below.. and what it mean when they say allow 10%-20% runoff? What does that look like and that’s the percentage of what.. water poured or in the pot?.. might be overthinking it but you know how it is wanting the best for your ladies.

All three of the girls looking good hopefully feeling good today. Nothing major today but big drop in humidity and temp flux with finding the right temp for my family and my green babies. Finally becoming unfrozen outside. Pic 5 and 6 is Goldie one day removed from me culling her twin sister Rollie😩I had two seedlings in one seed if you missed the previous days. However Goldie seem to got over it quickly showing vigor and appears almost or bigger than Star (pic 1&2) who has been the star since day 1 germ. Pic 3&4 of Shawt Stuff my Blue Dream lil lady is strutting along as well tho she seem to be tortoise in this race, but we know how the tortoise did.. Plants are tad darker in the picture and the yellow on the first set of fan leaves happen first day transplanted. One of my Grow bros from previous post said it appears I have cal mag def. I got that coming into the mail Monday. But if you see anything or any suggestions fire away. If you feel it’s not cal mag please confirm or tell me why you think not otherwise preshate the love and dedication Growers.. Happy Growing

Girls were looking good today. I been going back and forth on what to do about the twins especially when one of them showing great potential. I wanted to see if they could thrive together but every article or advice I got said to separate or choose one. This my first grow so I wasn’t confident of cutting the other down and trying to revive it. Didn’t know if I had waited too late or would kill the other plant if I waited later for the seedling to mature before separating..😞😩I made the choice to keep one. Man I see first hand why y’all say it hurts to cut on your babies, but this was for the greater good. I snip the plant at base of the stem going into the soil. Was this the correct way? I germinated in rockwool so I figured the roots would be all through that so it wouldn’t be wise to dig it out from the other plant?🤷🏾‍♂️ Any advice before disaster or for me to do better in the future is gladly appreciated.

Been a stable day no watering besides a little misting to help with humidity. The cold outside, my heater, humidifier and light finally got mutual understanding of what we trying to achieve hopefully nobody violates the agreement. Pretty much just monitor them today and sat back and sip some coffee smoking my weed not grown by me while marveling at their beauty and will to live. Man it got to be so satisfying doing this for a living. Must be nice.. One day One day.. Happy Growing

Thriving and surviving.. fought the temp and humidity all day because my southern climate got hit with winter storm.. wasn’t too bad tho just had a few extreme here and there but never for long periods because probably like most newbs unless I’m unique lol I dam near every hour or so and even more if I’m dealing with environment flux.

Was just another day studying them, praying over them... Leaving them the heck alone besides adjusting humidity and temp. Lowered the light to 26inches.

4 years ago

Each picture is beginning of light cycle and towards the end. Notice a gippy leaf on one of the twins so I moved them apart to see if more light help and as you can see by zooming in just few hours the leaf takes a big jump. My short plant of Blue Dream seem to be trying to withstand my bone head mistakes as well as all of them.. hopefully I make smarter decisions later.

4 years ago

So I feel I made a lot mistakes, first being adding that pinch of nutrients to my water. The soil already jammed pack with nutrients, that was probably an overkill. Also I believed I added too much water. The soil was already moist and I jumped to putting my seedlings into soil before I fully understood how much water a plant need in different stages. I was just thinking plants need water and I’ll make sure they have plenty. Thank God I didn’t go crazy with water so It could have been worse. Essentially I split little than a gallon baby bottle between 4 infants. Decided to keep the twins together to see where this plant goes.. Don’t like the thought of wasting a plant but I’m intrigued with the twin seedlings so I’m keep going until I have no choice or they die. My Star plant the one that germinated first and the tallest of the two is either suffering from nute burn or overwatering or both. The shortest plant definitely could be suffering from these symptoms as well. Time will only tell 😞

First day of transplanting in a Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil mixed with perlite and mycorrhizal by Dynomyco. Saturated the soil with 6.0 PH tap water that sat out for 48 hrs. Added a pinch Robert Bergman’s Seedling Fertilizer to my ph’d water because I’m over zealous newbie dummy. So only few hours into the soil and I made host of mistakes before and after. I’m going to talk about them in tomorrow comments.

Added water to cubes. Cleaned humidifier. First pic was around 9am that morning and last pic was around 6pm. Discovered that my Gold Leaf seed had twins. I’m kinda intrigued to see if they can coexist until harvest but could possibly remove the smaller of the two. Anyone reading this if you had experience with this your advice or expertise would be greatly received.

1st picture was 9am before I added a humidifier. After adding the humidifier I retook pics at 5pm. Added no water. Lighting is the same.

No water needed today and lighting the same however we can see a little growth happening inside of two of the cubes.

I put few droplets of 5.3 PH tap water to keep cube moist. Lighting height and timing has not changed.

I soaked 3 Grodan Rockwool cubes in 5.3 PH tap water for 2hrs. Placed 2 feminized Blue Dream and 1 feminized Gold Leaf in cubes to begin this wondrous journey. Placed in Grow closet under light at 36in for 18hrs on and 6hrs off.
