New Grower first grow journal, perpetual hopes

[Alexl22]

Hello my AF brothers and sisters! This will be my first grow journal, I do have a few grows under my belt, 2 to be exact, but I lurked around here the whole time and learned a lot. I think I got lucky my first grow in terms of plants but germ rate was abysmal. The first batch was royal queens sour diesel and I only was able to get 3 plants to take from 10 seeds. Germ rates are much better now. So 2 did well and the third was a runt. I did manage to keep a few pictures.

they turned into these

Then my second grow of Dinafem Moby Dick XXL and cheese xxl

OK gotta go to work, didnt get any of my new grow's pictures up, but I will update more soon. Also not sure why these images are sideways....

I guess I should add some details. I used the GH flora trio in coco. I supplement it with GH rapid start and great white once a week. I have AN bud igniter, big bud, and overdrive for the flowering stages. Oh and GH cal/mag as well vide to the coco. Coco has been great to me so far, though I do have to constantly water, especially in the later stages, while a pain, I feel keeps me connected to my plants and lets them know I'm there for them
Also I was super anxious with those first two grow, figured I was gonna fuck up so checked on them all the time. This time around it's a much more relaxed grow.

So here are the what's growing right now, all pinapple express from barney's farm.

This is the best of the three and started out very healthy so received a lot of lst.

This one is the runt and almost got pulled. She was small, had abnormal first levels and just looked bad. She is now doing just fine!

This last girl only had one cotyledon leaf when she was born and grew super weird but finally settled down is growing well, started her on heavy lst like the other one but she didn't respond well so removed it all for a few days and now she has a light lst.

These are all in their 5th week. I am shooting for some kind of perpetual grow of like two plants each cycle. So I just popped the seeds in the title this morning. Will be good seedlings by Monday so they can start their week one while these other ladies start their week 6!

Those other grows were completed back in late April, then I got engaged and just moved in with the fiancée last month which was when I started the pinapple express. I got around 7-8 ounces from SD, MD XXL, cheese xxl, with another 2ish of less dense popcorn bud. My fiancée smoked some of it while it was curing, I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with it, but she said it smoked ok and she got pretty high( she smoke a shit ton but knows nothing about cannabis) so we will probably end up smoking that too .

Anyway I hope to keep this journal updated, it seems like when I post from my phone the photos are fine, so may continue that. Thanks guys!

Anyway I can change the title of this to just my "first grow journal, perpetual hopes" perhaps a mod can make this happen?

Thanks guys! I learned so much from these forums, I figured I'd share the fruits of my labor.

Update Day 36

My two little runts are all grown up and healthy, I wish I had taken seedling pictures of these two. All three are Barney Farms Pineapple express, They are just starting their week six and I just hit them all with some PH'd water at about 5.8 ph. My biggest one has gotten some moderate burn on her, this is after already getting slightly less nutes then she is supposed to. I'll be stepping it back slightly once again until I see new growth is fine, but she is a grower and the biggest of the three.

This is the smallest of the three, she was a runt with mutated first leaves that almost got pulled right away. Glad I didn't, no lst for this lady.

This one my finacee and I call strong arm, because she only had one cotyledon leaf and it pointed straight up. Now she is the second largest of the three!

Not the best picture from the top on the biggest girl. She has some decent leaf burn from the over nutes.

and these are the seedlings that will be getting potted later tonight

The girls have been drinking a lot, they are in coco thought, and it has been pretty hot here. I can tell that they are stretching and have grown some every time I check after work. I will probably not post an update till I can see preflowers, as all it will be is more pictures of streaking XP. Thanks everyone!
