MY FIRST MAINLINE

Growing_Spartan I’ve just been letting the plant recover before I do some more topping and training.

Growing_Spartan She got nice and bushy but I had to start defoliating heavily and then I gave her some growers recharge and she perked up and was happy again.

Growing_Spartan On this week I noticed how crazy she got so I decided to throw some netting on top to further decide where I’d like my tops at and to flatten my canopy better

Growing_Spartan Super clean on the bottom half of the netting, made sure to get rid of potential larf that could grow. Top of the canopy is looking very nice and is bushing out the 5x5 better than I anticipated. I’m watering when thirsty and throwing some occasional teas into my watering, in about 2 weeks I’m looking to flip these girls into flower 🌺 lmk what you think or if I’m in the right track

Growing_Spartan I finally started flowering the crescendo rbx1 and I’ve got to say, she looks great! Green stems and leaves. She fills out this 5x5 pretty well and I’m happy with it. Plucked a couple leaves that blocked prime bud sites and weaved her long arms outwards to fill up my tent and get more light penetration.

Growing_Spartan I’m just giving water this week and she seems to be doing great, happy color and healthy stems! I’m going to be giving a tea in addition to their watering some time soon but other than that she’s been on cruise control 🤙 I did alternate my fans around in the tent to avoid wind burn and I also added a dehumidifier to my room that has my grow tent so I can gradually bring the RH down as needed. If there’s anything I can do to improve please, feel free to let me know!

Growing_Spartan When I flipped the plants into flower I amended the nutrients to along with it so they could start off strong and they have been since that day (April 11th, 2025) since then have top dressed the soil on (May 1st, 2025) with some bloom 284, worm castings and mineralized phosphate. So far the plants seem happy and thriving, if you have any questions or comments please let me know!

Growing_Spartan Here’s the update: She’s in week 8 of flower so far and a lot has happened since the last post. Since may 20th 2025, I noticed a small deficiency in the plant but couldn’t quite pin it down as to what it was, fast forward 10 days and I notice that she was getting more deficient and started to show more signs of what it was and once it was clear I ruled it out as a magnesium deficiency since I lacked any in my pot. I since grabbed some dolomite lime from Down To Earth (OMRI) and sprinkled 5 tablespoons into the top soil and watered with PH’d and dechlorinated water and worked it into the soil with the watering. It’s too soon to say it has any effects so far but I’m hoping my rookie mistake can be fixed. I do understand I am pretty late into flower for a top dress but the flowers look young still and could go for some more time but if I’m wrong please guide me the right way haha, also I did the top dress on June 4th 2025. First day of flower flip : April 11th 2025 Current date : June 5th 2025

Growing_Spartan Today’s date is June 11th, it has been 6 days since my last update. So far the Dolomite lime seemed to have helped with the yellowing of my fan leaves and the only “yellow” ones left look like they have a fade to them but I’m not sure if it’s due to proximity of the harvest or from the magnesium deficiency I had earlier. Either way I have to be more on top of my nutrients and my macros too. They chunked up a decent size and the branches are even toppling over from their density! Trellis was definitely needed for this one. Nothing special but watering when needed, temps have been as high as 84 and as low as 67, I’m really trying to master the environment but due to my location it’s getting harder to do so without hoping I don’t blow a fuse with all my equipment running, haha. Overall I’m happy so far and hopefully next run I’ll dial in more perfectly, if you have any tips for me please share!

Growing_Spartan Today’s date is 6/18/25 It’s been 7 days since my last update, the colors are officially coming in! The flowers are bulking and swelling up, the colors are giving a purple to light pink hues on the calyx’s so that’s nice! I’m just watering now with normal water and getting at least a little run off every time to get that natural flush going. I’m not too positive on what the harvest date looks like but I’m thinking another week and it could be chop time! 🤞 Leave a comment and let me know what you think or how I can improve! Thanks for reading my diary.
