VanGoghsEar 4x4 Gorilla, HLG 550 V2 100% @ 30" 1 GDP from seed, germinated 21-11-2018 2 Jack Herer from seed, germinated 1-12-2018. Promix-HP The girls are really taking off now. First full 4L/plant watering on 23-12-2018 Topped all 3 on 24-12-2018 Identified an Iron deficiency on one of the Jack's. Allow to fully dry, then lower PH to 5.5-5.8.

VanGoghsEar 4x4 Gorilla, HLG 550 V2 60% @ 32" 1 GDP from seed, germinated 21-11-2018 2 Jack Herer from seed, germinated 1-12-2018. Promix-HP Resolved last weeks iron deficiency on one of the Jack Herer’s by adjusting watering PH down to 5.5. Also added Cal Mag on last watering.

VanGoghsEar 4x4 Gorilla, HLG 550 V2 60% @ 32" 2 Jack Herer from seed, germinated 1-12-2018. Promix-HP Day 34. Flipping light cycle to 12/12. Had a little nutrient burn on both ladies and did a full flush with water @ PH 5.6. and two days later are looking much better. The GDP is still residing in the tent, just moved out of the way for photos. Next (light) feeding is scheduled for tomorrow evening.

VanGoghsEar 4x4 Gorilla, HLG 550 V2 100% @ 22” Jack Herer from seed, germinated 1-12-2018. Promix-HP Week one of flowering is in the books. Everything is going to plan and growth is really starting to take off. Added Canna Rhyzotonic and Canna Boost for the firs time this week.

VanGoghsEar Week 2 of flower is done and the girls got a big haircut. I removed the bottom 1/3 and did some very gentle LST. The heavy defoliation caused the humidity to drop 10% in the tent and plant water uptake increased as well. I also monster cropped some clones in the process. I put them on 24hr light cycle to re-veg them and they seen to be rooting.

VanGoghsEar This week the trellis netting went in and I replaced the giant 16" oscillating fan with two 7.5" Monkey fans to free up floor space. Buds are popping up everywhere and I spotted some minor Cal Mag deficiency that will be addressed in tomorrow's feeding. All things considered I am extremely satisfied with the health and progress.

VanGoghsEar The Jacks don't like EC above 1.6 it seems. I am going to dial it to 1.5 back for this week. Nothing more to report.

VanGoghsEar The Cola's are starting to pack on some sweet smelling Trichomes and the Pistils are starting to turn golden, One, Patience is the name of this game...

VanGoghsEar Slowly recovering from Calcium deficiency, the Jack Herer pheno #1 is stacking buds but Jack Herer pheno #2 is lagging behind a little.

VanGoghsEar Day 40 of flower and the Cola's are starting to fatten up nicely. Deficiencies have been addressed - I think - but the visible damage remains. It has still been a good learning experience over all and I am already looking forward to the next grow.

VanGoghsEar Flower day 56. Girls getting one more feeding before the flush.

VanGoghsEar Day 93 from seed, day 63 of flower and in 3-4 days Jack Herer #one gets chopped. #two 3 days after that. Looking forward to enjoying this bud!

VanGoghsEar First home grow and many lessons learned. Overfeeding is super easy even with good measurement tools for EC & PH. I used ProMix HP for this grow and I won't be using it again. It's difficult to get the watering right for a beginner as this medium holds on to moisture even in elevated fabric pots. It can only get better on my next grow and the one after that and so on... The next grow will be in auto pots & buffered Coco. Looking forward to trying something new and learning from that.000
