Got my flowering equipment ready. Pure Essentials Black Label Bud A & B, Bud Enhance, Zym, and Root Enhance. Also purchased a Hortilux 600w HPS from the local hydro shop. A bit pricey, so the lady knocked $10 off. I'll also be using the Haight Solid State PPF-800Rv2 LED light http://shop.haightsolidstate.com/Haight-Solid-State-PPF-800Rv2-LED-Grow-light-PPF-800R.htm . After reading SiliconeBuds current grow with CFLs, i'll probally add a few of them in the grow room also. Co2 tank is ready. Lets see what these bitches will do!! Im excited!
Buds are coming along nicely! Plants continue it's growth spurt. Haven't measured in a couple days, at that time they were 34 inches. I've got a shitty video of Week 1 flowering. Beware, resolution is shity (don't know why) and the music is dumb. Also have a week 2 video, filmed with cell phone, without dumb music below. Enjoy.
From experience, dont over think it;; keep it simple, dont try to fix every small issue that comes up. Move forward and try to do what you can. Learn as you go along, have fun with it.
Had nutrient burn on 2 of the plants, the meter didn't even read that high! I immediatly changed the water and gave a low dose of nutes. 1 plant did fine during this time, atleast the leaves didnt turn black and fall off. anyways, will probally start a flush in 4 days, and let it flush until the trichomes start to turn amber. I want a couch lock buzz. This strain is a 7-8 week strain.
So the journey is coming to an end. The plants have been flushing for a week now, and am harvesting this Saturday (3 days). I will post final pics before I harvest them. I have been smoking some of the unflushed branches that broke off. Looking to be a decent harvest considering this is my first true grow from start to finish.
All 3 plants totaled 598grams. Thats 1lb 5oz. Probally loose alittle more in drying. I let them air dry at 68-70 degrees and 50-55% RH. after 4 days i trimmed the buds and put them in Jars to cure.
