Harvest
Got 6.5 oz from both plants. For some reason photos make the buds a little off colored! Bud isn’t brown or orange. 3.5oz from one plant 3oz from the other plus another oz+ of larf that I was too tired to trim. So approx 7.5oz +/-.

Harvest
Ok. So I did something today I can’t take back! Pretty excited. There is some lower larf but the tops are solid. I trimmed off the fan leaves, set temperature to 60°F, and set humidifier to 60%. Seems like my huuidifier keeps rh on the low side, I’ll monitor it and adjust if needed. Seems like last harvest I turned humidifier to 65% to keep tent close to 60%

I’m really thinking of chopping tomorrow. I was going to wait another week but I feel like the bud quality is deteriorating a bit and I’m afraid it may worsen. It doesn’t show well in the pics but im noticing some slight foxtailing on some of the buds and some of the sugar leaves are getting these weird crispy spots. It this may be nothing to worry about but it does concern me and I dont think there will be too much of a difference between chopping now and a week from now. IDK. I’m gonna sleep on it and decide tomorrow since I have the whole day

Watered these beautiful ladies today. 64d Flower. I’m thinking I’ll be chopping Saturday. Possibly the following!! They are soooo close! I can’t wait to chop chop!🪓🪓🤣🤣 Got my next seeds worked out and I’m getting anxious (though I still have to dry the buds and clean the tent before I can begin next round). I’ve loved growing this strain. I don’t think I’ve had any issues at all with this grow (a first for me! If true LOL); at least no MAJOR issues. I’m trying to guess what my weights will be, which I’ve heard is bad luck, but I dont’ think so! F bad luck! I’m guessing close to a QP/plant. I’m hoping for 7-8 oz total. But I’ll take what I’ll get!!!

Watered. The buds look soooo different. One plant the buds are dark and almost have a purplish tone to them where the other plant is bright green with no signs of purpling. In the bud pics, it is easy to tell the buds apart! When I harvest, I think I will have to keep the buds in different containers. Today is day 60 of flower. Brother Grimm’s web site says flower is 58-60 days; I know these are not always very accurate, but still something to shoot for. Either way, it’ll be soon!

It’s almost like I have to different strains here. One is dark and leaves are purpling to yellow and she is nearing the chop. The other the leaves are brighter and slowly fading into yellow w absolutely NO purple in leaves. Bud structure is nearly identical as the smell. But it is interesting how different they look.

Watered. Day 56 of flower. Both are looking sooo good! I can practically taste them! I don’t think there is much time left. I hope to chop the week after next! I took pics from under their skirts. Pretty thick canopy; not much light getting through. IDK what I’m going to grow after these ladies are cut and dried. I have a lot of seeds, but mostly all from same breeder. I’m really wanting to get some Cannarado seeds, but I keep being a cheap-ass and not buying (if anyone has thought on cannarado, please let me know). Twisted Tree has offered to sell their photos to me but they are not feminised and I don’t think I have the space for Regs (I’ve only done feminised seeds). The stresses in life…..what to plant next…. ;-) Lol!

Top dressed/watered/calmag day42 F. It was 2 days early on top dressing but I wanted to do it before the next watering. Idk if I should have fat or not I’m getting pretty close to the end with only about 25 to 30 days left but I stand by my decision and I’m happy with it. I think I’m going to start doing a nutrient well in the medium I think it’ll be a lot easier to add in nutrients. I need to add a heater to the tent soon it has been getting cold at night low at 50° in Garage . I forgot to take a picture so the picture that I put in this post is from my nanny cam.

Watered today. Plants are looking great. One is a bit taller than the other but both seem to be doing great. I cut 3 dowels and attached to side poles to try to reduce the tent walls sucking in so much on the plant branches. I think it will help out a lot.

amithus Yeah these look amazing as well. Is this an organic grow as well?
cookredeyed Thanks! I’m pretty happy with them. I started these and my auto at same time. All organic. I actually used a little liquid calmag a few times which wasn’t but f-it. It’s organic enough! Lol!

Watered today. Day 16 flower. Yesterday i cleaned up a bit under canopy and I think all is looking pretty good! I generally water a lot earlier but with my current work schedule I’m unable to water at any other time than before ‘lights out’. Plants are healthy and I’m excited seeing the buds developing.

Plants look overall healthy. However, I have some leaf tips which are clawing down (mostly on the right hand plant) I believe this is due to the adding too much worm castings. I plan on watering tomorrow, but from what I have read, it is something that you have to just “ride”out with organic grows. I don’t know how to fix. Plant on left is always looking good overall, right side plant often seems a little droopy. After watering she’ll perk up, but seems to begin to droop when other plant is ok. With organic, I know soil is to remain moist but I’m a bit nervous about overwatering I may not be keeping soil moist enough.
a year ago
BINAII Bruh, don’t sweat it. Best thing I’ve done is grabbed some Ecowitt moisture sensors from Amazon to monitor my soil moisture. They kept me from wondering when I should be watering. Should look into it.
zer0applied Lift the pots up my man and feel the weight. I don’t water based on volume anymore, even when growing sisters. I hand lift all my pots or just lean them a little. To keep those microbes healthy and mobile, just use a top cover for the soil. Aquarium rocks, stones from the driveway (washed), mulch etc. trust me.
cookredeyed I also lift my plants. To determine when ready to water. Where im f-ing myself up in head is the leaving soil slightly moist, im paranoid about root rot. I have a moisture meter, not the EcoWitt (I’ve seen others use and recommend these) but a cheap probe that is pretty worthless except for the moisture meter (it also “reads” soil pH and light intensity)! Lol! I never really used it until lately, but I’ve mainly been going off the weight of the pots. I think a top cover is a good idea Thanks for the comments!

Watered last night. I’ve been so busy with work I haven’t been able to spend much time with my girls. Gave each plant about 1 gal of ph’d water. I haven’t been able to see them today yet. Hoping leaves on right pot will perk up. I’ve also included some work pics, harvest time in the wine industry! Grape harvest and marijuana harvest (outdoors) are the same time which is why I don’t do outdoor grows anymore!

Flipped to flower yesterday and today did a decent amount of defoliation. I wanted to just keep going taking off leaves and small branches but I chickened out on a few sites that hung kinda low under canopy but may reach once plants stretch up a bit. I’m pretty happy with the decisions I made and will probably cut more in the next weeks.

Watered and did some light defoliation. I also put in trellis net but I’m sure it’ll need adjusting after i flip (tomorrow maybe…). I kinda started spreading out the plants to fill in net. Plants are kinda short but that’s ok.

NateTheSnake Normally if plants are shorter that means their either indica or mostly indica hybrid. It’s just in its genetics and by looking at how much wider those leaves are than sativa, it’s definitely indica dominant. Makes for a nice spread out and easy to spread out canopy.
Joey weed seed Looking good. Just keep tucking them leaves 🫡
cookredeyed Thanks to both for comments!! It looks like these will have a nice canopy the way plants are developing. I’ve been tucking on top and will start snipping on bottom!

Overall girls look good and I’m wanting to top once more soon. 1st pic looks a little droopy but pots still have some weight to them. I’ll water tomorrow. I was also thinking of adding calmag (advanced nutrients) because I think I have a little bit of a calcium deficiency. Some bronze spotting on some of leaves. My concern is that my cal mag is not organic and has some other additives that I’m unsure will go well with the Gaia Green.

amithus Awesome looking plants 👍👍
amithus Oh yeah I watched a past podcast with MrGrowIt and and a few of his guests including the Utah Dr. of horticulture and he said that synthetic nutrients can be used with organic as the organic biosphere breaks the stuff down to those base synthetic molecules so as long as you’re not pounding in too much and causing an imbalance, you should be ok. https://youtu.be/W-3ZZJyk5lc?si=OAUhSgpkoVZpeJPl That’s the link to the pod.
amithus You could foliar spray cal mag too if you don’t want it in your soil. Again I’m brand new to cannabis so ymmv but I have used foliar cal mag sprays on my bonsai trees for years.

Originally I was going to continue w the drip hydro nutes but instead I’ll be switching to Gaia Green AP/glacier rock dust/bloom. I also plant to do about a 75/25 SS pro #4/worm casting. To this I will add additional perlite as well (no plan as to ratio, just until I think is good is my plan).

amithus What’s a 75/25 SS pro #4? I’m very new and trying to soak up everything. :)
cookredeyed 75/25 was the ratio I was planning to use for my grow medium. 75% Sunshine Pro #4 (I think it is similar to ProMix HP) and 25% worm castings. I just transplanted these two yesterday to a 1gal pot and I pretty much stuck to the 75/25 but I also added a solo cup’s worth of perlite. I am trying my first organic grow so I stirred into this mix Gaia Green All Purpose, Glacier rock dust, Power bloom. I hope it works out!

amithus Hey I’ve followed some of your past grows and I’d love to know what your light schedule is for these, do you have them under 40%, 50%? What’s the distance from the plant, etc? I’m doing my very first grow and yours seem to be taking off faster than mine. I have been growing bonsai trees for the past 6+ years and I have a PAR / PPFD meter and mine are getting 200mmols/s. I’m running an 18/6 schedule and I’m growing an auto flower from royal queen seeds. Potting soil is Fox Farms Ocean in the top 70% and the bottom 30% is a mix of fox farms and Natures Living Soil Autoflower blend. I’ve been careful on the watering and I think I’ve got that down. My tent is running between 65deg F in the night and 78 deg F in the afternoon with RH around 72-75% Just wondering what your lights are, what your preferred soil and what you’re feeding them if anything at this stage? Thanks for all your posts, you’ve already helped through watching your other grows.
cookredeyed Hey. Currently my light schedule is 18on/6off. These two plants have really taken off! However my auto is going a lot slower (Purple Punch), these two are fem photoperiods. I used to only use Fox Farms Ocean, but I think it was too rich in nutrients and dense for the auto flowers I was trying to grow; I had several plants that were really stunted; however I had a few which did really well in the FFOF too! These seedlings are in a small 3x3 under a Mars Hydro FCE3000. Good luck with your grow, you can check my Purple Punch journal too; the Purple punch is very small, and I keep thinking she is too small, but I think im just tripping and she will have a growth explosion in the next 2 weeks! Cheers
amithus Fantastic thanks for sharing. That’s a good point about it maybe too hot nutes wise because the 3 I started in Rockwool are wayyy bigger than the ones I started in the soil mix. I’m so intrigued by the subtle differences between what seems like a small change but is huge in practice. Appreciate your input and feedback.
