New Grower First Time

Blog entry Discussion
So here I go and time will tell.
I bought a AC Infinity 4x2x72 tent kit with Next-gen EC inline fan 4”, EC circulator clip fan 6” and 200W full-spectrum grow light with Samsung LM301B LEDs. I start with 3gal fabric pots using Fox Farm Ocean Forest mixed with perlite at 75/25%. In that I put a peat pod to start my germinated seed. I have my light set to 40% and 18" from canopy. I will be using the Fox Farm Trio during my grow. So this is what I have the first week.

The Cotton Candy Kush says finish time 50 to 60 days.
Hawaiian says finish time 60 to 70 days.

So another week has gone by and I've been fighting high heat and humidity!!
In this last week I have watered.5gal with pH 6.7 then watered.5gal pH 6.8 with molasses and finally watered pH 6.5 .5gal with nutes
Big Bloom 3tsp in 2gal water
Tiger Bloom 1.5tsp in 2gal water
I'll post pictures later today.....

Looking really healthy, some times they need an extra week or two as the stats are really just for guidance. If you're unsure at all when to harvest the guys here can advise re trichomes and pistil colour and form. Not long to go now :woohoo:

So that was a few days ago and the plants are doing good. On my last 3 watering the first was with nutes Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom the the next was just water then the last was molasses and water. All pH to between 6.4to 6.7. So my next week be water with Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom and I was thinking about using molasses with every water between nutes. What do y'all think?

So here we are day 56

still dealing with high temps and humidity! Don't know how much it has effected them but I've been told it really slows them down. I 've been doing normal watering when needed. Keeping the pH between 6.4-6.7 and it's water then water with molasses 2tlb in 2 gal then water with nutes Tiger Bloom 1.5tsp in 2gal Big Bloom 3tsp in 2gal. Keeping the Par between 700-900. I think the 2 Cotton Candy Kush are about ready and the Hawaiian is kicking ass I think a few more weeks for her.

You've done a great job mate, you want 80%, of your pistils to have turned from white to Amber and you're trichomes to be frosty and milky, I'm still relatively new so don't know if anyone else has anything to add, just about there now :cooldance:

So it's day 64 on my 2 Cotton Candy Kush it says it's 50 to 60 days to finish. Been watering them .5gal every other day pH is between 6.4- 6.7 they still have mostly clear trichomes. My 1 Hawaiian is on day 64 and growing fine I had to tie up hey buds watering .5 gal every day they say between 60 to 70 days to finish trichomes are clear. Feeding schedule is:
Cotton Candy Kush
Tiger Bloom 2tsp per 2gal water pH 6.4 - 6.7
Water pH 6.4 - 6.7
Water pH 6.4 - 6.7
Hawaiian
Tiger Bloom 2tsp per 2gal water pH 6.4 - 6.7
Big Bloom 3tsp per 2 gal water pH 6.4 - 6.7
Water pH 6.4 - 6.7
Water with molasses 1tbs per gal water pH 6.4 - 6.7

The temps have been in the mid 80's
Humidity 60's - 70's

If you're wondering the 4th plant is Tangerine Dream 56 days haven't kept a journey on her. Everything has been the same as my Hawaiian schedule.

Man they look great! Few more weeks and youll be chopping your first grow down! Awesome job your going to have a great yield for sure. Do you have a drying plan set yet? Also looks like that back right plant might finish before the rest. Stacked up and more mature than the others from the looks of it.

Yes the back right plant has always looked the best as far as buds go! The trichomes still look pretty much like the other plant. I'm going to dry in my smaller tent when the time comes and move any that aren't ready to the other tent. I hope the two Cotton Candy Kush finish up close to the same time.

Also besides harvest times varying a big selling point on genetics is how quick they finish so technically you could pull early it will just not be what it could be so they list when you could pull not when you should.

So I've been busy but the last pictures are at day 70. Still fighting heat and humidity but it had been a little better. I cut back on my nutes and they are taking less water now. The trichomes are still clear with maybe 20% milky and have not seen any amber. I'm just watching and waiting now!

Man the plant with the bamboo sticks is STACKING. I am excited to see what your yield is! Awesome job my friend!

Edit - Make sure you cut off the leaves that are dying and getting close to the buds. I can see a few id get asap lower your risk of bud rot. In pic #3 there are 2 that are getting close to being covered up get em! Lol

So here we are at week 12 day 78 I thought they would be chopped down and drying by now!! I still can't see but a few amber trichomes most are milky/cloudy. This will stop me from doing another grow this year. Still watering with pH corrected water and feeding nutes.

@Death The Cultivator do you think this is a lockout? @Fermented_Fruitz how much nutrients have you been using its just weird the leaves are eating themselves that much I think you might be using too much and caused a lockout where the roots have to much nutrients and can't absorb anything and the plant eats itself. I'm not sure tho.
