New Grower 1st Grow - American Pie & Blue Dream under Mars TS1000 (2.3x2.3 Tent)

[St. Tom]

@St. Tom tagging you. Only just figured out what you meant by it.
hope I am doing this right.

That's it my friend I get an alert for that so I will always see it as I try to follow so many grows I forget were they all are

Day 40

Gnats are going. Been water the plants about every three days now with half solution of BioBizz grow with ph'd water.
American Pie has exploded, growing around 2-3 inchs a day at times. I have to adjust my light in the morning and again in the evening to accommodate the new growth. The Dreamatic hasn't nearly grown at the same rate although is further along in its development, definitely chose the wrong one to do LST on. I have had to lift it up to be closer to the lights.

Day 50

I have run out of space vertical space in the tent and have had to super crop the main cola. She responded well to it and so yesterday had to crop it again as well as some of the side colas on the American Pie.
The Blue Dreams flowers are developing nicely.

Discovered I havent been feeding the plants properly and they where showing signs of nute deficiencies. I upped the dosage of the Biobizz Bloom and added in Grow which they hadnt got before.
Will see how they respond.

Too much fun..

Discovered the best way to slow down time is to plant some weed and watch it grow.... taking FOREVER

Cannabis teaches some of us patience, as well as other things I learned about bud rot this outdoor season in a new growing climate for me . I finished harvesting tonight , and just finished up checking all the buds and cutting out small pockets of bud rot, then hanging the rest to dry. I just smoked up some scissor hash and i'm am fuggin ripped and I ended up here somehow Keeper going grobro

Day 55

I have had a nutrient deficiency most in the Blue Dream which is strange as the strain prefers less nutrients apparently.
They got close to a full feed on Friday so hopefully that corrects the imbalances.

Blue Dream thickening out nicely

American Pie is twice the size of the Blue Dream. Next grow I need to select two strains that are similar in height. Been a bit of a pain trying to adjust the heights.

Had to super crop its main cola twice to move it away from the light.

Day 64

Experiencing some deficiency issues on the Bluedream along with some spidermites.
I have spread it with SBPI for the mites and think the issue with the deficiency is the soil pH is too low at 6. Going to water it with baking soda buffered water tomorrow and hopefully that correct the imbalance.
The American Pie is perfect and buds are starting to thicken up nicely.

Looking frosty :smoking: . THe only thing my mind keeps asking is why is the light not centered

The one plant is half the size of the other and I have run out of space to raise it. So put it off center so its not too close to the big one and closer to the smaller one. Hoping that this balances up the light intensity each gets.
