Slurricane#7 S1 In House Genetics

OCC420TX Today is day 7, and after about three days, I noticed 5 of the 6 seeds sprouted! I was only expecting 3 to sprout; not the worst problem to have, I guess. 😅 Hoping this will decrease my veg time. I removed the domes as soon as they sprouted. My HLG 650r is set at about 25% power draw. I was looking on Reddit, and a few people fried their seedlings by having the light too strong/close. This 650r is way more than I need for the 3x3, so I will be keeping it at about 40–45 inches from the seedlings. I also noticed the roots are growing fast! Plants seem very happy. I only water when the soil starts to dry up. I added a Bluelab PH pen to the tool box (special thanks to bredsport). Starting this week, I will begin to water at a pH of 6.5. I hope the 100 bones were worth it... T: 80 f H: 60% see ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Today is Day 14, and the plants look amazing! I also have been able to lock in the VPD at 0.63-0.67 (check pictures for the chart)! No major update other than growth. I am still only watering when dry at a ph of 6.5. I added a moisture meter to the tool arsenal to help with this 😎. No nutrients have been added to this point. Holding on until week 3-4 when I decide to repot. It looks like the runt of the group turned out to be one of my freebies. I wonder if they are the bottom-of-barrel type of deal. One of the two did not germinate, and the second one is showing very slow growth compared to the rest. With my luck, it might have the most frost of the bunch. Regardless, I will keep an eye out on it. T: 79 F H: 80% see ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Today is Day 21, and the plants look better and better every day. Other than all the new green growth, I have started to notice yellowing/striping on some leaves. I am sure these gals have almost depleted any nutrients left in the soil by this point. Today they got a watering ph'ed @6.6, and I added very little Recharge by Real Growers (.6 grams/32oz). The next time they seem ready for more water (1-2 days), I will rehome them in 1.5-gal plastic pots. The roots are really starting to power through the soil. T: 78 F H: 74% see ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Today is day 28. Three days ago, I went ahead and transplanted into 1.7-gal plastic pots. I used a blend of buildasoil 3.0, Gaia Green Worm Casting, Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose, Xtreme Gardening Mykos, and Recharge for the transplant. The root ball was strong and seemed very healthy on all four plants. Next time I will be using a solid-color seedling pot so the roots are not exposed. I went ahead and topped each one at this time. You might notice the surviving freebie is gone. It did not make the transplant. It was an unhappy plant that did not want to grow anymore, o 🐋. A few days have passed since then, and the plants seem happy. I snipped the dying/shrunken original leaves. I think they really wanted a transplant a day sooner. I noticed them progressively getting worse the last day or two. I will continue to keep an eye out on it to adjust for any deficiencies if needed. T:78 F H:55 see ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 35, growth has been massive. They are happy in the new pots. I lowered the light by 12 inches and they responded well. Two of the plants I topped look different. Two look completely normal. I wonder if it was something I did when topping them. They are watered just about every two days at a 6.5ph. The moisture meter has been great to have. I check once around the outer portion of the pot and again closer to the stem. At “2 Dry” I water and aim to be at “6 Moist” Working on replacing the current humidifier, just doesn’t get above 45% r/h while the light and fan are on. T:79 H:45 See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 42, these girls look happy! I am starting to slowly add more water when watering, the soil has been drying up almost daily now. A few days ago I started bending over the main branches to encourage the smaller growth not getting as much light and it has really helped, It has been working out great! They bounce right back up the next day. I also propped up one of the ice cream candy plants. Specifically the one that freaked out after topping , it has gone full bush mode. It really isn’t stretching as much as the other ones, who are all basically the same height. T:79 H:40% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 49, things are moving along nicely. I decided it was time for a light defoliation. I cleared up anything blocking new growth. Pulled about two handfulls worth of leaves. I also tied down a few branches. Other than that, plants have been happy and drinking more water. T: 78 H: 40 See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 56, a repot is around the corner. This weekend I might go ahead and move them into 5 gal pots. I have noticed some burnt tips on a few leafs. Will keep an eye on this I am not feeding them yet, will adjust if needed. Going into flower I will use a new mix of soil adding the GG Bloom. I can see the training I am performing is paying off. Tying down main branches has really exposed a lot of new growth. I’ve done some defoliation, letting a lot of the new shoots get some light. T: 79 H: 50 See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 63, and a transplant just took place 3 days ago. This final repot should hold us up until the end of flower. As soon as they settle into the new soil I will be doing a heavy defoliation. In my last picture you can see some of the new growth I have noticed pop up being covered. Figured they are still stressed from the transplant. Next weeks update will include a fresh cut.

OCC420TX Day 70… Put. The. Scissors. Down! Thinking next week I will send them into flower. T: 79 H: 40% See ya next week! 👽

OCC420TX Day 77, these girls look happy! Great time for some training. I am starting to see some pistols forming here and there. A bit of research and I think they are called “Preflowers” - Plant is sexually mature and ready for the flip. This is going to be the last week in veg. Starting next week I will change the timer to 12 - 12. It has been a long time coming , and I am finally happy with how the tent is filling up. I will probably do another defoliation before that. They have really bushed up since the last one. Today I am focusing on tying down branches and opening up the canopy. T: 75 H: 40 See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 84 (Day 1 of Flower), all I can say is WOW! It has been great seeing these girls grow! They are now really bushy and growing like crazy. I went ahead and did a heavy defoliation 3 days ago (check last picture). Not only did they bounce back but the amount of new growth is insane. Water demand has tripled and I am doing my best to keep up. The dry back has been consistent at about two days before they are thirsty. My HLG 650r is now at 65% power draw. I have slowly been turning up the juice over the past two weeks. My goal is to have it up 80%-85% before the end of flower. T: 71 H: 40% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 91 (day 7 of flower), everything is going smooth. The first two pictures are from today and the third pick was yesterday after watering. Just under a gallon per plant. I need to do another defoliation this week, as you can see they are super bushy. I brought in a second oscillating fan to help push some air flow into that interior canopy. I have some work cut out for me today. I’m going to try ‘lolipoping’ them. There is a ton of growth down there that I am sure will never see the light of day. This and the defoliation should help me with air flow I desperately need. I don’t want any air pockets. Also going to put up a trellis net, I can see the stretch starting. Lastly, dropping the light a few inches. I’ll be sure to include that all in next weeks update, with pictures! Depending how they continue health wise I will be top-dressing them either next week , or the one after. T: 75 H: 45% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 98 (Day 14 of Flower), Honestly I could not be more happy with how everything is going. The stretching has seemed to slow down, but is still going. I did pull a few fan leafs but nothing major. I also cleared out everything growing at the very bottom of the plants. I did start to notice some burning on the tips. They have not had any nutrients since they got a repot. I’m sure they are hungry. I went ahead and top dressed them with Gaia Green 4-4-4, & Gaia Green 2-8-4. Washed that all down with some Recharge ph’d at 6.6. T: 70 H: 50% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 105 ( Day 21 of Flower), It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas …. I see frost! I included some close ups of the cola sites. I’m having to water almost daily now and as you can see the plants are responding well! Checking on this tent is a daily treat! Beside the regular watering and occasional trimming, everything is going smooth. I turned the light up a bit (almost at 75% light draw). This 650r is blasting ! I will be keeping an eye out for light bleaching, I don’t plan to get this light to 100%. T: 70 H: 55% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 112 ( Day 28 of Flower), and it finally happened. I missed a week, life just got very busy. I was still on top of my normal waterings and tent check ups. Also no pictures to add. Nothing much to report. T: 69 H: 40% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 119 ( Day 35 of Flower), things are going great. They are drinking so much water at this point, just about a gallon per plant. The Frost has continued to build every week. The are really starting to show me what they got. I have noticed some purple coming into the canopy. I can’t wait to see how they will look by the end of this. I don’t plan on feeding them any more nutrients. T: 69 H: 35% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 126 ( Day 42 of Flower), nothing much to report. They are starting to swell and stack weight. The smells coming from this tent are fantastic. Shout out to Grow4Releaf for the solid advice. Ordered a jewelry’s loop from Amazon today! Other than that I’m just letting these girls ride. T: 69 H: 35% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 133 (Day 49 of Flower), nothing to report. Water’d @ 6.5 ph. The canopy changing colors has been cool to see. T: 69 H: 35% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 140 (Day 56 of Flower), nothing to report. I was able to take some really great pictures this week. We are on cruise control, hope y’all enjoy them! T: 72 H: 45% See ya next week 👽

OCC420TX Day 147 (Day 63 of Flower), Timber! For the last few weeks I’ve been checking on the trichomes on the plants and they are finally were I would like them to be. 10% Amber, 5% Clear, 85% Cloudy. I made sure to check several different sites and always on the direct nug. I did notice most of the sugar leave trichomes are 60% amber. I got them hung up and separated pretty well. I made sure they all had space and breathing room. Tent is currently sitting at 65 degrees, & 55% r/h after the chop. There is a small oscillating fan on the floor moving air around. I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to all of you for sticking with me through this long journey. It's been such an incredible experience, and I’ve truly enjoyed learning so much along the way. Your advice, encouragement, and insights have been invaluable, and I’m so thankful for every bit of feedback and support I received. This grow was a huge learning curve, and I know I’ll be able to do even better next time because of everything I’ve taken away from this one. I appreciate each and every one of you who followed along, liked, commented, and helped me stay motivated. Thank you all so much for being part of this grow with me! I’ll will post one more update and a smoke report after the dry & cure 😗💨 T: 69 H: 55% See ya next time 👽
