Day: 75
Just waiting for them to dry out and then I’ll decide if I water them again or harvest them. Starting my next batch under a separate 300w cob led

Day: 53
Just riding this one out til the end. Lots to research. But will keep watering until time to harvest
5 years ago
Day: 52
Leaves are fucked but buds keep getting bigger on the one plant, others still stalled out a bit....lots to rework for next grow
5 years ago
Day: 51
Plants need nutes I believe, will feed today or tomorrow. Leaves getting very yellow.
5 years ago
Day: 50
Plants have pretty much stopped growing. Leaves are yellowing. I’ll feed nutes for the last time most likely in the next day or two.
5 years ago
Day: 49
Plants starting to yellow, ready for feeding I believe. Will prob be the last feeding.
5 years ago
Day: 48
Buds getting bigger and leaves still seem to be showing no further signs of trouble.
5 years ago
Day: 47
Buds are starting to fill in. Fan up to level 3 to circulate more fresh air.
5 years ago
Day: 46
Moved two shorter plants onto a step to even then out a bit. Running out of room to move the light up 🤷🏻♂️
5 years ago
Day: 45
No new signs of spotting so hopefully good there. One plant is getting too tall still, I need to go to Home Depot and get a stake and bend the plant over before it’s too late.
5 years ago
Brola Some trichomes starting to appear on the leaves of one plant 😁 really hope these nugs start fattening up
Day: 44
Tallest plant might have to get bent over with a stake, getting really tall, lights starting to run out of room to go up 😳
5 years ago
Day: 43
Lots of fucked up leaves/foliage. Lots of coloring and spotting. Hopefully yesterday’s feeding puts an end to that and they start fattening up buds soon
5 years ago
Day: 42
Showing some signs of nutrient deficiencies, so gonna feed them their first flower feeding today
5 years ago
Brola Feed week 6 nutrients, roughly 1 gallon each
Day: 41
Plants are about 2 feet tall now with buds starting to show everywhere. Life is good. Switched back to 18/6, will stay with that. Plants started dropping really bad hours before darkness so didn’t want to lengthen that.
5 years ago
Day: 40
These ladies look amazing! They seem to be doing really well with the light at 8” or closer.
5 years ago
Day: 39
So far so good. Will keep plants on a 20 hour light cycle and keep the light 8” min from the canopy. Plants grew 1”+ overnight 😳
5 years ago
Day: 38
Researching my grow light and par values and trying to find optimal distance from the canopy. Moved the light to about 8”
5 years ago
Brola Need to do more research on par values and spectrum wavelengths blah blah. I think the plants could have handled the light being waaaay closer as I feel they are pretty stretched out y’all. Gonna try to keep the light at 8” or less through flowering. Hoping I don’t have to do any bending due to them getting too tall
Brola Gonna switch to 20/4 light schedule to hope for more growth and bigger yield.
Day: 37
Doesn’t look like the Nute burn is getting any worse so hopefully flush helped stop that problem.
5 years ago
Day: 36
Plants don’t really look any better OR worse. So think I’ll leave them for today and see how it goes, if it gets worse I’ll flush but I’m hoping I can just wait a few days til they need watering anyways.
5 years ago
Day: 35
Lights still pointing up and curling so moves the light back to about 12” from the canopy some spotting showing and some leaves curling down.....will give a day or two and see how they look.
5 years ago
Brola Lots of signs of nutrient burn. Yellow and brown spotted leaves and leaves curling down. Will flush tomorrow with reg water most likely
Day: 34
Lowered lights last night to about 8-10” above the canopy. All plants looked like they grew an inch overnight! All plants sitting about 12” tall now. Defoliate most of the bottom fan leaves, will finish defoliating the smaller stuff with my x-acto blade later.
6 years ago
Brola Back right plant, was originally the smallest is the champ right now. Leaves are almost pointing upwards this morning 👆🏼
Brola Wow these things started growing like crazy today. Did some preharvest defo. Trying to keep the light around 8-10”. They seem to like it, but leaves curling a bit so don’t wanna let them get too close
Day: 33
One plant has a bunch of leaves curling up a bit. I’ll wait til after work and see how she looks
6 years ago
Brola One plant, the same one that’s curling, is showing signs of overwatering, I believe. Will wait longer next time before watering
Day: 32
Pretty sure I’m gonna feed today after work
6 years ago
Brola Fed the ladies today. Went by week 4 transition week dosage. Ph’d to just under 6.0, as usual
Day: 31
Leaves starting to show yellow/brown spots again. So gonna feed them here in the next day or two. Will feed the transition week of nutes (week 4)
6 years ago
Day: 30
Removed some discolored leaves off the bottoms. Pre-harvest defo lol
6 years ago
Day: 29
Some leaves starting to show a little bit of upward cupping. Did some research and says usually from too much heat/air. Pretty sure the light is not too hot, haven’t seen anything over 80 lately. Fan however is blowing right at the plants so I’ll move the fan up to circulate air above the canopy and see if that corrects the problem in a day or two 👍🏼 also gonna drop humidity controller to 50%

Day: 28
4 weeks from seed! Crazy how quick this plant grows.
6 years ago
Brola Seeds came in from seedsman. So now I have the next 6 grows of seeds. Bubba kush, blue dream x 2, zkittles x 2, and a mix of diesel/cheese (3/1)
Day: 27
All three plants have first pre-flowers showing.
6 years ago
Day: 26
Temp was creeping a bit high plus I think they can handle a little more airflow so I raised the fan to level two. Humidity still holding around low 50s/high 40s.
6 years ago
Brola First pre-flowers showed today on one of the plants 😁
Day: 25
Watered the babies today with regular R/O water (no nutrients), will hopefully get one more veg feeding in before they start to flower.
6 years ago
Day: 24
Lots of side veg starting to grow more. Still waiting to water, maybe tomorrow....
6 years ago
Day: 23
Noticing still some yellow/brown spots appearing on some of the bottom leaves near the tips. Thinking a cap/mag deficiency. Same issue when eight before I watered them. It’s been a week since watering but soil is still moist, gonna water in the next day or two with water (maybe add just Calmag supplement to the water). Hopefully get one more veg feeding in before transitioning to flowering
6 years ago
Day: 22
More vegetation growing, leaves starting to grow at all the nodes.
6 years ago
Day: 21
Thinking of buying a co2 bag....things looking good so far, moved the light closer, about 12” from the canopy
6 years ago
Day: 20
Smallest plant is 2”, the other two are 3” tall at this point.
6 years ago
Day: 19
Growing like crazy everyday. I’ll probably rotate the buckets today/tomorrow to ensure even light coverage
6 years ago
Brola Turned humidity controller to 60%.
Day: 18
RH/temp holding well, plants look good.

Day: 17
Posting the feeding schedule here so I have quick reference to it
6 years ago
Day: 16
One of the three plants growing slow and showing spots (I think signs of nitrogen deficiency 3rd pic below), have yet to do a full watering/feeding with runoff so will do that today.
6 years ago
Brola Fed per second week feeding schedule. Let run off drain and then removed. I think it’s also helping with the humidity. Hopefully tomorrow they are happy little buggers 😁
Day: 15
More growth. Humidity is holding during the day mid 50’s% with new setup. Overnight got up to 63% according to my hygrometer.
6 years ago
Brola Humidity is on point. Holding now at right around 60% RH😍. Temp is 73 🌞 next feeding will be a full veg feeding with runoff. Likely in the next 2-3 days
Brola Humidifier ran out of water while I was napping, RH dropped to 40% quickly. So lesson here, don’t let the humidifier run out of water. Has about a 12 hour run time. So should last until the morning, I’ll refill before I go to work.
Day: 14
UPGRADES! new humidity controller and new humidifier to increase RH in the tent. I set the humidity to 65% and turned the exhaust fan down to level 2. Waiting to see if we can get to 65%
6 years ago
Brola Lots of new growth on the seedlings! Excited for the next week or two of growth, hopefully these babies take off
Brola Turned off the big humidifier in the room. Turned fan into level 2, will look more into fan/temp auto-control. But for now, hoping humidifier on controller will help keep humidity up.
Day: 13
Watered plants will regular water. Used roughly a quart per plant as they still small and won’t need the whole pot watered I think. Next feeding will be full feeding with 10-20% runoff
6 years ago
Brola Turned plants 1/4 turn clockwise for more even light coverage.
Day: 12
Plants growing and growing. Showing first signs of set of 4 leaves. Probably need water in the next day or two.
6 years ago
Brola Moved lights up higher, after reading most growers keep farther away during seedling and veg stages, plan on moving a little closer during flowering
Day: 11
Moved light to 18” (maybe even to 24”) until seedling stage is complete. Gonna label and measure each plant daily as well and log into a spreadsheet
6 years ago
Brola Added grounding rods into 2 out of the 3 pots. Little experiment ala josh Truex. If they flourish more I will buy more for all the pots. Bought new power strip and cleaned up the tent and put most electronics outside of the tent. Put a mini car humidifier in the tent. Curious to see what effect, if any, will have on RH in the tent. Will update
Day: 10
3 plants starting to grow second set of real leaves. Moved the light up a little higher at least while small.
6 years ago
Day: 9
Installed grow tent cam, this is a WiFi photo from the cam. Three seedlings doing well. Last seed wasn’t much bigger, decided to go ahead and plant in rapid rooter into final pot to save space, not a lot of hope so will probably be running three this time around instead of four (wel’ll see in the next couple of days if it sprouts). Next time I’ll soak the seeds for 24 hours before placing in paper towels.
6 years ago
Brola Grow light is about 12” above the seedlings. Contemplating buying a second grow light bar for more light and more heat.
Day: 8
2nd seed finally died, 3 out of 5 transplanted to final containers and watered with seedling strength nutrients (1 gallon for all four pots, about two pints/each). Still hopeful the last seed will sprout more and take up the fourth spot in the closet, otherwise rolling with 3, taproot was still small thiso morning, I’ll check later today and hopefully move to rapid rooters later
6 years ago
Brola Added WiFi cam to the grow tent 😁👍🏼
Day: 7
Seedlings growing. 2nd one is pretty much dead. Last seed slowly sprouting. Fingers crossed for 4 babies. Mixed seedling strength nutrients. Will move the 2-3 into the bigger pots tomorrow and water.
6 years ago
Day: 6
Found one of the seeds stuck and growing in half. I freed it from the seed and tried to place it in a good spot to grow up and still root but doesn’t look good (second from left). Will keep an eye on the fourth. And will rapid rooters the 5th tomorrow most likely. Trying to wait a couple of days to transplant to final 3 gallon fabric pots. That’s when I’ll water and feed for the first time 😁

Day: 5
2 out of 3 grown sprouted from rapid rooters. 4th seed sprouted as well.
