My First Grow

Dirkgentley Started light defoliation this week and on day 28 did some LST for the first time. Hopefully they recover well. Looks like they are going into pre-flower as well.

Dirkgentley This week was a bit stressful. Had a calcium deficiency on all of my plants. I got screwed on amazon and bought re-bottled cal-mag and decided to use it anyway. Well you learn from your mistakes. Bought some new Cal-Mag and all three got a good flush. Now all the run-off is back on track, and seems to have stopped all signs of the deficiency. Continued the LST this week as these girls continue to stretch and I am running out of room for the light but should be ok. Going to increase nutes to 4-4-8 for the rest of flower and hope for the best.

Dirkgentley Good week, had a ton of new growth. Plants are going into full on flower now, except one is looking like she is was stressed into hermaphodite so I am watching pretty close. I actually went over her today with a fine tooth comb and removed any growth that looked male and now I am going to pray that I don't see anymore. I really don't want to pull it because there is only a month left and it is so healthy otherwise. If anyone can give me any advice I would appreciate it. I am leaning towards just watching her like a hawk and if it does get real bananas, hopefully by then it will at least have produced some resin for the hash pile. Anyway thanks for checking out my grow :)

Dirkgentley Grow update week 7, day 49. Everything is going fantastic with these ladies this week. My only problem is two have stretched so much that I have had to use some tie wire on my light to raise it so they aren't getting too close to it. I guess this is a really good problem to have! They are starting to finally get some frost as well and let me tell you, I am getting pretty excited to see the progress in the next three to four weeks! I have started feeding three times a day going at about 1400ppm. Was thinking of stopping nutes at about day 70, giving me about a 10 day flush.

Dirkgentley Quick grow update here. Not much change this week buds are starting to stack nicely. The smallest plant has the most developed buds so far and the most dense colas as well. Everything looking healthy and happy.

Dirkgentley Pushing through the final stretch with these three ladies. They are stacking up nicely, a lot of the lower buds are still pretty green but I think I will get enough where they will just go into the hash pile anyway. I was a little worried I was pushing the nutrients too hard so I backed off nutrients for a couple days and now I'm back to full strength. Orange hairs have started on all three and the back left plant is frosting and swelling like crazy. Can't wait to chop these girls down, will probably stop nutrients in a week.

Dirkgentley Day 70 update: Everything is looking solid, buds are going strong. Going to be stopping nutrients this week, probably going to go through the weekend. But will be checking the trichomes regularly now, and drying box is about ready to go. Thanks to everyone who followed this diary. Next update should be a harvest update at least for one or two of them!!

Dirkgentley What a fun ride! Really fun grow all around, all three are now down and drying. The 2 harvested on day 81 were a total of 1421g wet and I forgot to weight the other one on day 83 but I will update with final weights. Thanks for everyone that followed the grow!

Dirkgentley Thanks everyone who followed this diary! Looking like some Blue Kush for next time!
