1st grow- Sweet Tooth
April 2021 (start)
1 sweet tooth plant in a 24x24x48 grow tent. Started out at 24/0 moved to 18/6 about 10 days in. Missed a couple lighting schedule due to faulty light timer 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾 pray she’s all good 🙏🏾 watering once every 3 days or so she’s 18” from a 600 watt led lighting systems under veg. She’s looks to be a funky grower but I absolutely adore that about her. She has standards, I hope I can excel. So far this is my 4th try and the furtherest I’ve been. Will look into neem oil for some tiny creepy crawly creatures I seen while watering. Otherwise, feeling good about baby girl 🌱🌞

Welp!!! The time has come!! 🥰I chopped 🪓 baby today, trimmed her up real nice and now she's hanging in the closet drying. This has truly been sickening!!! A love hate battle (but definitely more love). This journey has been filled with constant updates and downs. I've fucked up so many times I'm surprised I got this far. After a while I had to stop posting just to get life on track as well as her health **sniff sniff* 👃🏾 ahhhhh I can smell her now you guys. This must be what parents feel when they see their kids walking across the stage. Aaannnnyyyyyyway I'm sure all you pros know what I'm talking about. 2 weeks of drying and 4 of curing. We are almost 🏡

Proud to announce she now has 4 new budding cola sites! Not gonna lie was a little worried when they didn’t appear as quickly as the first one however that was 1 topping to two. Still just running on water. Not sure when I want to reintroduce nutrients, perhaps when I get a syringe rather than measuring spoons. Otherwise she’s looking pretty healthy!

2 months in and this is what we have so far. Not bad…baby is still fighting off all those nuts I feed her. She soaking up the plain water quickly and will probably revert back to just watering well into her veg. Hoping all her new growth will outshine these older hurt colas and we won’t even notice further down the line. Watching baby carefully rn.

Oh my fucking god dude! I overdid the nutrients! I knew it. God she’s all crinkly. I’m spazzing out maaannnn. Damnit! I had to flush her. Her leaves are crinkled up. She’s fucking dry n unhappy. Hhheeelllpppppp 😩😩😩 what else can be done??

Day after feeding and she clawing a bit. Wondering if the upty in her nuts did it….yea….more than likely, either way I’ll give it a day she if she fucks with it after a little while. (Got some chemical burn on a leaf or 2) Keeping her tied down for now. I see 3 nodes on one of the new branches and 4 on another.I like to wait until 6 to actually top so they have a little bit to go. Other than that keeping a watchful eye 👁 out and praying for the best!

Baby 👶🏾 is strong. Feeding was today upd to 1 tsp cal mag, 1 n half tsp big bloom, 1 n half tsp grow big💪🏾🪴💧rerigged her. She was standing straight up today. New growth coming in nicely 🤙🏾 can’t wait to see what she does after this heavier feeding.

She’s a strong lil muthafucka! 💪🏾She keeps popping out from under the training wire. 🤦🏾♀️May have to add more to help, I like the ScROG method I feel like it’s gonna work in my favor with her. I thought I was gonna water 💧today but I actually picked up her pot and decided she has at least 2 more days worth of moisture in there and then I’ll feed. Otherwise, new sites are being located 👀, she still a short lil thing, but her nodes are tight and stem and branches are looking stronger🌱💪🏾

Bottom colas growing up more evenly now. Got a couple branches going on the 2 new growth branches. She’s drinking and eating faster than I realize. Time to start fully soaking through until I get drainage to ensure she’s utilizing her space properly. Canopy is looking promising atm. New technique and new growth 🌱❤️🤙🏾

So a lot of her fan leaves are super curled up reaching towards the light and still covering the lower branches so I decided to tilt the whole pot until the little ones grow up from under the current budding branches. Otherwise...whatcha think?

Did some light bending today. 👶 baby is lookin really good. I guess ppm is for lack of better term, optional for soil grows. 🤷🏾♀️ however I see slight curling of the fan leaves on one main baby cola. I have light penetrating bottom areas....feelin good 😌❤️

Day: 43
Soooooo I may or may not have a sitch, I noticed baby was pretty bone dry so I feed her since last time was a simple watering. I’ve never gotten any run off so I figured since topping and training I should lean more in the specifics of her feedings. Anyway, I feed her and ppm the run off annnndddd now I’m nervous. It was rather high (6860ppm)and I’m not sure if I should play the wait n see game or flush her. I’m going to giver a day or 2 so I can actually see results buuutttt what would you do?
3 years ago
RiskIt TTV She is looking great 👍 I don’t worry about ppm only making sure my water is ph’d proper for optimal nutes absorption and I always water till about 25% runoff just to get anything kinda flushed away and also I can get a good sample to check the run off ph
RiskIt TTV Only thing I could suggest is maybe bending her over a little bit to get some more light on those lowers and make those tops curl to the light when I start bending I go a until I feel like she couldn’t take anymore then maybe a couple days pull it a bit more till I get it where I want it doesn’t have to pulled right over all at once

hotbox_beauty 😝😆 soooooo anxious lol I’m ready to just see her do her thang. Lol ❤️ she immediately dropped when I topped her but I think she’ll bounce back strong like when we had to transplant.
Caliban Congratulations! We all feel similar anxiety the first few times. Looking good! Peace.

Watering and topping tomorrow ❤️
3 years ago
RiskIt TTV Make sure to leave a nice stub of stem where you top, I topped to low last time and as she grew the two colas didn’t have much bracing and caused a split in the centre stalk… was easily supported and treated but just easier to avoid the “oh shit she split” scare factor 😆
RiskIt TTV Btw looking very good 👍
hotbox_beauty Thank you! I will definitely do so. Mega nervous...though I’m nervous about everything I do to 👶 I’m excited to see how she reacts. 🤗❤️

New budding sights! Super excited! 🤞🏾🌱🥰 how soon is too soon to start LST? And do you all top your photos before LST or not? Why? 📸
3 years ago
locker105 Looking nice! Great questions... I usually top once a plant has 4 nodes. I usually do it then because the plant is healthy and resilient enough to bounce back from the stress quickly. Also, right when the plants are fully recovered, I transfer it to its final pot, wait for the roots to set in, and begin LST. Every time you top it’s always beneficial to spread the colas out in kind of a spider like formation.
RiskIt TTV I wait a week or so after topping to start lst just to make sure she’s not to stressed but if she’s looking good and growing fast might be able to start sooner looking very nice tho 👌👍
hotbox_beauty Oh my gosh! Thanks a bunch my dear! I’ve been debating for the last week or so but now that she has new sightings I know for sure, especially with your advice ✊🏾 I like the idea of topping first then give it a week before transplant. Thank you!, ❤️🙏🏾

Hit her with the same level nuts. Baby is growing. Not as fast as I feel a cannabis plant should but I’m here for the journey. Once dried out again I’ll hit her with some quality H2O. 💦 all on its own. Let’s get it!

Mr.Tee Man same here on the growth ..! I too have a “SweetTooth” at the of week #4 Thursday starts week #5 it was sprouted April 22nd
hotbox_beauty My guuuyyy...baby sprouted the 23rd!! I suppose she’s just a slow growing 🌱 this is day 33 she looks like a 2 week old 🙄
Mr.Tee She sure looks healthy tho ..🤙 so it’s was a day after..??🤔 Mines scrawny looking rn idk maybe it’s this ones genetics cuz I didn’t buy it ., this one was a lucky bagseed I found in a sweet tooth sack but tbh it was like a mid grade but just threw it in a 3gallon pot with (ThunderHead living soil) an it looks half the healthy thickness of yours..!😐

Well I definitely didn’t expect to see her so happy today!! 🥰I botched that transplant yesterday but it looks like baby girl just as strong as mommy. Excelllllennnnt lol happy frog 🐸 is an aid in this situation will definitely water 2 days prior to transplant next time so it’s easier I have her a lil water to hold shape but it did not work. Also it was the perfect time to transplant. Roots were just at the tip of her cup. After thirsty girl drinks up her water we are on to for nutrient schedule. Still deciding if she should undergo another transplant into a 5 gallon pot but let’s wait to see how she adjusts first 🌱🌞

She got moved into a 3 gallon fabric pot today. Holy fuck it was intense, would definitely understand if she undergoes some stress unfortunately. Watered w/ 6.73ph and will hit her with the nutrients next week. Pray for her...😩🤞🏾🙏🏾 she’s sitting in happy frog so hopefully it does more good than stress here. ❤️ mommy loves you
