Thanks bro I am doing everything I can for em. I posted in the plant problems area and broke it down feeding watering etc... I guess your probably right. I'm currently still running it yeah. It's only 50% and that was full line recommended weeks nutrients. Generally around 1300 ppms 6PH I just dont see how it could have problems but idk. I am just feeding twice a week now. same ppms. I may switch to H&G since I have their stuff all ready literally the whole line. I am running low on some FF stuff now anyways maybe enough to finish up my girls now. Then start feeding my clones that H&G I guess. I hate that they are doing this during flowering :(

I don't think H&G would save you now, but I do think it'd be better than the nutrient imbalance you get with FF. Honestly though, if you do that don't use drip clean, or the flowering stims because that'll throw everything further out of whack. Use A&B with Bud XL, and I bet they finish strong.

Alright guys well here is my final update for this journal besides the smoke report. But I'm going to start a new one with my clones which are starting day 1 Flower today be sure to follow they are bigger and even more beautiful! I will post it tomorrow I beleive!
I'm going to be running H&G from now on just been super impressed with results especially with my clones so cant wait to see how round 2 is!

The girls came down all within about 2 weeks of eachother starting with....

Hypnotic~55 days trimmed and curing


Pineapple express~59 days still hanging


Sour Ak ~61 days still hanging


White Widow ~63 days still hanging


Critical Mass ~64 days getting cut down tomorrow :weed:




I was happy with all of the girls and how they turned out next time my WW and CM with be better. After they cure and whatnot I will come back and post smoke report and yield so far it looks very solid for my first time!

honestly Op, that little burn issue you had didn't do shit. whatever you did worked out great because those plants are literally perfect man! so did you run FF at 50% all the way to the end and get those results? also, what was your medium like? sry if I asked

Yeah it was FF full line more or less according to schedule sometimes had to make something up. But 50% was the max I did and they did do really solid!
My medium was FFOF with about 10-15% more perlite and then about 25% just generic organic soil. Smart pots with feed water feed water schedule. 5 gallons.
Will post the weight once I tally them all up so I just do it at once.

Looking awesome man. Can't wait to see them progress. I am about 3 weeks away from harvesting my G13 Pineapple Express. Never grew her before but it was pure joy. Super strong plant in veg and so far has been awesome in flower. I didn't get any sensitivities from her - she seemed to just take everything I could throw at her. She was grown in coco using Canna Aqua Flores nutrients. I occasionally add in some Orca as well as some Dutch Master Gold Zone root conditioner every once and a while to keep her root zone ideal. She is in a 5 gallon felt pot and takes about a gallon and a half of water/food every couple days.

You will have a great experience with her and I am super stoked to watch your other strains. Nice set up. I recently switched to a 4'x8-bulb T5 (HTG slimline) and my plants dig that shit. Super bright.

Peace.

Veg area - I attached some reflective material to some cardboard to try and raise the temps in there - it is a basement in a northern climate so temps dip down to 59-61 at night down there - closing them in like this keeps them nice and warm for 18 hours at least. There is an HSO Bubba Kush (blue bucket), a RP Sour Diesel (bottom right corner), an HSO Blue Dream (grey bucket), a couple of SD clones and a THSeeds Sage'n'Sour in there. All of them are looking awesome so far with the new light.

Dude, Howd you get your plant to grow outwards like that?

Just gotta top em then train those branches tie em down. Honestly tho the strain is a very bushy plant she doesn't do a whole lot of vertical growth shes the smallest in my bunch!
Zactly. What I did with that particular plant was pretty simple. When it was a clone and nice and bendy, I leaned her over and secured her to the edge of the container and topped her. So not only will the plant respond to that with growing multiple apical shoots (tops), but the lower branches, because of the light exposure and angle of the plant, will also grow up and become major growth shoots as well. Give it a try. Just let her get 8-12" tall, gently bend and lean her over really good, tie her down and let her do her thing. Really simple LST technique.

Ok guys things are pretty much all tied out I have smoked 3/5 of the girls very good smoke good smell burns great nice and clean strong high especially that white widow can really feel it in your head! Nice lasting high! I have finally gotten to weigh all the girls and was very impressed with the results!
Coming in First we have White Widow at ~115 grams trimmed and cured. bongsmilie:clap::clap:
Second we have Critical Mass at ~104 grams trimmed and cured.:weed:
Third we have Hypnotic at ~95 grams trimmed and curedbongsmilie:clap:
Fourth we have Pineapple express at ~91 grams trimmed and cured.bongsmilie:clap::clap:
And last but surely not least Sour AK at ~69 grams trimmed and cured. But mmm those 69 grams smell amazing! Just like Sour D:weed:

Which brings our grand total to 474 grams of trimmed and cured danky dank! Which averages us out at .79g/w for my first grow I am very very happy :bigjoint:
Those who aren't following my new journal there is a link in my sig with round 2 looking sexy with even more space! Running H&G

My man Op those girls look beautiful and tasty. I wished my PE turned out like that. I had some major problems with my pots and that was causing all the problems I had. Fixed that now I'm back running better than ever. I remember when you first started those girls. I feel like an Uncle watching his kin grow up before his eyes lol

I saw you said you had some problems during flowering and it didn't look like it was too much s those girls came out lovely. How long you veg these girls again? I'm gonna have to go over this journal again cus its been a min since I been on here. Gonna be watching you next grow an congrats again on the harvest pulled some nice weight for first grow. Got me a new journal check it out bro. Peace

just went over the journal and it looks like you had a cal/mag def. most strains want more cal/mag in flower than in veg but all your plants didn't have it so since you had enough of that in there then it was a lockout that locked out the cal/mag. remember leaves will turn yellow in flowering as the plant uses up all the nitrogen but if bud leaves start turning like they did just give them a major flush about three times the size of the pot since you were using soil. other then that great grow bro

I think I may have to do that then because my white widow is running similar to last grow either she is a cal mag whore or she is locked out im just not too sure!
Thanks as well these girls took alot of work definitely respect to apache on an amazing light but just alot of work and struggles paid off!

well since you said shes doing that again I think shes a cal/mag whore like you said. feed all your other plants first and feed her last. up the base just a lil from where your running it at now maybe 10-15% more and that should help. yea I know it was some hard work but hard work pays off and you will only get better from here. Peace
