New Grower My First Grow Journal!

Wow, quite the jungle you've got there! I bet the smell is funky, too.

Great job man!
 
Day 22

OK so the girls are taking off now, noticeable growth every day and tucking has become a chore! All plants have shown female except for the Psychofruit.. some of them a week ago. Trapper mentioned something earlier about some people having that strain hermie on them, so I'm watching her close. At this point, if I see anything suspicious she's gone.. and honestly I could use the extra room. The Blue Cheese is out of control.. moved her to the corner and chained her down. Now, I don't know about this technique, it's something I do with photos and it seems to work great.. Not sure about stunting an auto but we shall see. Basically I use a small chain and hook an upper branch to the container edge. This seems to stop all vertical growth from the chain down, as the plant cannot go any higher. All growth will be from above the chain. I attached a picture of the "chaining" as I call it!

Which reminds me.. I have about a dozen more auto seeds from my order, and another order should be here any day now with more seeds from Seedsman. Here's the question, any of you folks from the states had problems with customs and losing seeds from Attitude? I placed an order last October and customs took them, still got my t-shirt, email Attitude, no problems, they resend the order, customs snagged them again. So I gave up. My buddy has ordered from them with no problems and online reviews seem to say no probs so is it just bad luck? This last order obviously came through, but I ordered from Seedsman just in case

Haha

:grin:

Thanks man, I will! I'm excited about it too.. Critical X Blueberry sounds safe but I will certainly keep a watchful eye on her!

Also, we are somewhat "neighbors" in this big world :grin:

Are you a hunter/trapper? I just tagged out on turkey a couple days ago.. Archery hunt mostly

I live in colorado and ordered from Attitude on may 13th. Have to wait 21 business days for them to check into it, that's like 3 months with holidays lol. I've already given up.... I'll be trying a couple other banks as I've heard attitude has had a tough time lately but that's only hearsay so take it with a grain of salt. Not attitudes fault, my package has been Stuck in L.A. since may 20th, yeah, not going to make it lol.

I really want to grow autos but I'm afraid to throw more money down the drain. Might have to go get some clones :dunno:

Yeah I know it sucks man.. my damn Seedsman order got busted too! They are very nice about it and resent the order so hopefully it makes it this time. Be patient, they might show up! My last Attitude order came through perfect. I always get the guarantee shipping and have had no problems with customer service, they just want to see a pic of the package with the U.S. Customs tape on it. Good luck!

Has there been any talk in CO about offering seeds for sale? Trapper? It seems crazy that you can grow and buy legally but you can't get seeds.. I'm sure it's only a matter of time

There are a couple places/breeders in Colorado selling seeds...the problem is...no autos...yet. Ronin knows better than I but Rare Dankness, Centennial, 303Seeds are a couple of the places:)
 
Day 34

Little update on the ladies.. Gave them all about a gallon of water yesterday as they were all very dry, was planning on doing it the day before but got busy fishing (priorities)! Anyway, Blue Cheese was super dry, pot weighed nothing and bottom leaves were drooping to soil and yellowing. Will start to keep a closer eye on them, as others were wilting as well! Got about 10-20% run off from each plant with slow watering, and I drained into empty bucket for the veggie garden. Was planning on flushing with Sledgehammer this weekend but changed my mind as I don't think it is necessary. Even with a good dose of Grow Big last week I have no burn at all so I'm going with my gut on this one. I don't have a ph meter so don't ask. Will probably flush in the next week or two depending on how they look.

I will start individually tailoring nutes next week on these girls and will probably water/feed every 3-4 days for the next couple weeks. Plants are getting large and will need the moisture, I always feed every other watering so it's going to get interesting in keeping track of them but I will do my best! I imagine in the next 2-3 weeks I will be watering every two days as the summer temps rise and the plants grow.

I have snipped off most of the large fan leaves to expose bud sites and am trying to keep up with tucking. Plants that are getting wide have been staked in order to keep the branches tight and vertical. This room is getting so full that lower nodes and leaves are not getting much light so I have trimmed some of them as well. Not sure if you can see in the pics but I also tie green twine between some stakes to help support branches as well. The twine is great because you can slide branches across it to open them up to the light. Last thing, switched from MH to the Ushio HPS yesterday as well.. all plants have began to flower! Also, changed the light cycle from 20-4 to 19-5.

Grabbed a couple pics before the light went off..

That's a fantastic 34 day mark pic...awesome job so far! :)
 
Day 35

So Miss Psychofruit was the slowest grower and by far the last to show sex.. but she has now decided she wants to play. She is now as tall as the Blue Cheese and growing. Because of this I moved her from the middle of the room into a corner to hopefully slow her vertical growth a little. The ladies continue to stack up pistils despite not having any bloom nutes so far. They will be getting the Tiger at next water for sure. Grabbed some pics of the new rearranged room..

The HPS is causing issues with my camera of course so please excuse the yellow shade on some pics!

Yep, I can get my hands on all the genetics I want except for autoflowers, otherwise I wouldn't mess with the seed banks.
