This is our third grow, first grow journal.
Growing in 70/30 coco perlite mix.
lighting is 2 GL4000 LED. 1000w rating 400W from wall. Running 18/6. 30" away from plants.
Will be hand watering GH 3 part, CalMag, Armor Si, KoolBloom, Diamond Nectar. Following the CCFC feed schedule as closely as possible.
Growing White Runtz, Banana Kush & Durban Poison.
Soaked 6 White Runtz, 4 Banana Kush & 4 Durban Poison on May 15th.
All but one Durban Poison sprouted tails on the 17th and were planted in Solo cups under the light. Planted the one seed that didn't sprout a tail, still not ready to give up on it.
All but one of our seeds (one of the Durban Poison) has it's cotyledons if not the beginnings of the first true leaves.
So as it turns out the
hardest thing about
growing cannabis is keeping
up with the grow journal.
Ran into a cal mag problem
right as we started in the
seedling stage. Foliar fed
with cal mag and eventually
overcame that issue.
Plants have been transplanted
twice first into #1 then #3
nursery pots. Most plants
have been topped twice.
Been doing some low
stress training and now
have a nice even canopy.
Getting ready to flip to
flower in the next day or
two. Will post some photos
later and hopefully will
keep up with the journal
from here on out.

Looks like we might have a K deficiency. Been feeding koolbloom on the lighter side of range on feeding schedule. Going to up it to 1 ml/gal for the remainder of the early bloom schedule.
Everything going well. Buds are starting to stack up. Still losing a few leaves here and there but nothing discolored or withered like in previous post.

Everything going well with the grow😃.
Did some thinning and staking of some branches. Looks like the stretch is coming to an end.

Things still going good. Looks like stretch is over plants haven’t gotten any taller this week. Buds are really putting on weight. Banana Kush look like they will be real heavy yielders White Runtz have the least and smallest buds but they are at the edges of the garden with the least light. Sill feeding mid bloom formula. EC in ranging between 1150-1250 EC out has been around 400 higher than what’s been going in.
Lights about 16” above canopy.
Temp range for the week 69-90F
RH range 52-66
Buds have gotten way too heavy for the branches. Made “cages” out of bamboo stakes and string. First and worst one was a total disaster but got better at it as we did all eleven plants. Hated to hear the bamboo tear roots on the way in. Next year we need to remember to put stakes in at final transplant time. Other than that hiccup everything going fine.
Feeding late bloom schedule.
EC in between 1200-1300.
53%-67% RH.

Not much new to say about the grow. Looks like everything has made a nice recovery from having to be staked up last week. Will be switching to second week of late bloom feeding g schedule today.
RH 50-60% for the last week.
Temps 66-87.
EC in between 1200-1300.

Just chugging along here.
Buds look to be fattening up, lots of brown pistils about 70% less so on the Durban poison. Tricomes a mix of cloudy 60% and clear.
Plan on starting ripen feed schedule tomorrow. We will play it by ear to decide after that to decide when we start a final flush.
