Documenting 2nd Go Around... Learning From Mistakes Journal

[LadyKimi]

Hey Everyone! I've got more pix!! Girls are almost 2 weeks old and are now on JACKS CLASSIC 20/20/20 nutes at 1/4 strength. They also got her first full drenching today and seem to be loving it!

First we have Stella the Sour Cream Girl: She is an odd plant, She is very close to the CFLS yet always seems to be reaching for more light. U will see in the pix how her outer leaves stretch upwards, I really just cant figure it out.


Next we have Charlie the Cheesel Gal... She is a beauty! Since this is my first real grow (grow that is started correctly as opposed to just throwing seeds into cheap dirt) She confuses me a little bit, she has a lot of leaves but is not yet very tall, I've taken a pic of her stem and branching to show what I mean.


Now we have Rocky..Rocklock, She is my favorite, not sure why, she is just awesome!


Next we have poor little Sensi Star.. She is trying. She is actually doin wonderful for someone who started out half rotten from being stuck in her seed...

George from Seinfield?

Why are U taking up space in my amazing grow journal with this drivel????? LoL Just kidding... but I still wanna know what moved...

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

It's what boys say when they see something hot and sexy. IT moved! Come on you're not that old. younger then me for sure.

 

[LadyKimi]

I'm not really that old, 38, and I have a 16 year old and have never heard "It Moved" before. What can I say.. I'm sheltered LoL

They're looking really good LadyKimi-- steady as she goes. Little sensi star is a fighter! Oh, and Seinfeld rocks-- but notice I mentioned the grow first! Cheers.

 

[LadyKimi]

Thanks Dub, I gotta be honest, I never watched Seinfeld, just not my thing. Yes, Sensi is a fighter, I am going to have to name her now, I didnt because I really didnt think she was going to make it....

Off to research when I can start LST

Kimi

 

[Dubious06]

Don't count out the little guys. My dog was the runt of her litter, and sometimes they're the ones with the most character! Again, good luck with your grow-- they look happy and healthy.

You know I think my first day on here I asked a question and I believe you intro'd me to LST. That's funny. I've still got some weeks before I'm going to start my LST. Cheers!

 

[LadyKimi]

Its been an odd day or two.

Rocky is still being a super sensitive girl.. Anyone else growing Rocklock and noticing this??? She is in the exact same consitions as the other 3 and has some sort of stress every other day. I gave her a half flush and have decided to let her go and see if she toughens up. U will know Rockys pix by the obvious signs of stress.

Sensi Star, who will now be named Serena is one tough little cookie! She is putting on new growth finally, I think she is totally recovered from her miserable birth. She is in the blue bucket.

Charlie & Stella are doing Marvellously! We have taken all 4 girls outside for 2-3 hours a day, not to get them used to it, just because it really seems like they LOVE it. Charlie literally doubled in size in 24 hours the first day we put them out..

I think I am going to play a little with the girls.
~~Charlie will be LSTd
~~Serena will be topped, maybe even super topped
~~Stella will be scrogged (if I get this figured out)

Enjoy the pics!!

Nice. Like the close nodes. You see alot of people doing top shots to hide elongation. Yours look sweet from the side.

Thanks! I almost feel like they need to be a little farther apart. These girls are not quite 3 inches tall and Rocky is just over 2!!!

 

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

Close nodes = fat buds (plus you have to do other things right too).

 

[LadyKimi]

I know, I know, I missed a day and I promised my self I wouldn't. What can I say.. I suck.

Here is the run down.. All the girls have been getting 2-4 hours of sunlight a day and I have upped the CFLs inside to 3 26w-6500k bulbs per plant. They are being fed Jacks Classic 20/20/20 at 1/4 strength, except Rocky, she is on 1/8 strength as she is a sensitive girl.

Serena Sensi Star is REALLY taking off! This chick is definitely a fighter. She is actually only 9 days old. She was going to be the girl I topped but I have decided to let her grow unaltered.


Rocky, 14 days old, was going to be allowed to grow unaltered but yesterday she was wide open just asking to be the girl that was topped... So she was! She is also growing wonderfully inspite of her reaction to the nutes there has been no slow down in growth.


Charlie (cheesel) 15 days old, is one sexy plant! She has nice tight nodes with TONS of growth! I haven't decided if she is going to be scrogged or LSTd yet but I want to get her and Stella into the perm pots this weekend so that I can start whichever process I decide on. Will probably make the choice after transplant...


Stella (Sour Cream) 16 days old, is a monster! My bagseed grew nothing like these girls! I may start flower @ 5 or 6 weeks with Stella if she keeps growing like this.


Enjoy!!!!

Ok, so I got 2 things outta having the girls outside for a few hours a day for 3 days. I got some amazing growth and some little green bugs!!! It was my own fault, I forgot to re-add the DE after watering.. I think they are grass fleas so hopefully there are no major issues. I probably wont put them out again. I know they will really really miss the sunshine! They are prolly getting to big to be outside anyway as I live in a neighborhood.

Pictures coming tonight with any individual updates, just wantwd to whine about my bugs LoL

[LadyKimi]

I give up on trying to type something everyday... I am not that entertaining. LoL

Got some more pics, I love my new camera )

First we have my little sensi star, she is a tiny bit stretched since she is so much younger than the other girls it is tough to get the light close enough to keep her from stretch.


Rocky was topped last week and she is definately gonna hve 2 colas. being the 1st time I just wasn't sure LoL


Sour Cream (first) & Cheisel started the LST process this week. Its my first time and I am hoping the rest of the process is as easy as the 1st step


Enjoy!

 

[riddleme]

lookin sweet, keep it up your doing great

 

[LadyKimi]

Ug, Ug and Ug!
I know I havent written in a couple of days but its been nuts. I had a very mild PH issue so I used the vinegar method to bring it down and WOAH what a mistake! U will see by the pix that they were a bit burned (understatement on Sour cream)
I missed Sour Cream when taking pics and today they do look a little better but there is still going to be a bit of a struggle. Everyone was flushed all to hell and back yesterday and transplanted.
here are pix

 

[LadyKimi]

Amazingly I think other than a small pause in growth, my girls are unharmed by the vinegar fiasco! They are now growing like crazy again for the most part and looking happy! Everyone has been transplanted into permanent pots now. I want them good and happy before flower so I will be waiting at least 2 more weeks before going into 12/12.

Star: She is my odd girl, started late, not nearly as bushy as the others, much leggier and the girl I decided to FIM. Unfortunately, I think I did it wrong in other words I FIMd my FIM!


Next we have Charlie, SHe is amazing! hardly had any issues with the vinegar at all. She is just go, go, go!!! If I knew for sure she was going to do what I needed for my pain levels I would make this gal a mommy in a heart beat!


Here is Rocky She has been temperamental from go. She is supposed to be easy to grow but unless she ends up being amazing smoke I doubt I will grow her again.


Aahhh Sour Cream, this poor girl was doing amazing until the vinegar craze! She was so burnt up that I had to trim off a full half of her foliage! She is coming back with a vengeance so I have high hopes for my only sativa girl!


And a group shot to end the post...
