Hey guys, the girls have hit day 47 here.

Group close.JPG


Group hi light.JPG


Sorry for the infrequent posts, life gets in the way of the fun stuff!

I have increased the feed and it is at a stable 1.8 EC now with pH ranging between 6 - 6.5.

I am just feeding as and when its needed the girls all have different needs.

I accidentally split a tiny bit of the stem around day 44 trying to adjust tie downs. But it was only small. Injury, I put some insulation tape around it and I think I can feel a knuckle beneath it.After harvest I will take it off and have a look.

There isn’t that much to report,

After removing the large fan from the tent, I have put a free-standing oscillating fan outside of it to keep air fresh and circulated.

In size order, here’s how they’re doing.

Plant 1 is the one that is taking her time, I wasn’t too hopeful for her and thought she would be just a smaller version of the others. But I moved her to the side. Where I have found the plants stretch the most for some reason and voila. She seems happy here and has come into her own. She will be a contender to the others.

Plant 1.

Plant 2 is the smallest in height, the one that had slightly drooping leaves throughout veg, I have decided this is just the way she looks. I have given her a bit of help and put some risers beneath her raising her a couple of inches.

The third largest, plant 3, is also developing nicely. The tops of her buds are starting to frost up nicely. A good sign, hopefully the GG in the genetics makes sure we get some nice coated nuggets. By rubbing the stem a subtly skunky smell is given off.

Number 4 is the runt, my diamond girl. She has turned out to be the second largest and my o my is she pretty. A little leaning to one side so not exactly picture perfect but as you can see the buds that are forming I hope are going to be large and dense. Her smell is my favourite, fresh blueberries!! Even the side shoots are going to be long I think.

The largest, tent hogger, is just perfect. Her colas are long and I am eager to see all of those bud sites join up to make long baseball bats, her and the runts branches are the length of an arm.

Plant 5

Thats it for now! Im glad that they have another 4-6 weeks to fatten up!

Stay blessed.

Haha ledbud thank you very much mate, i appreciate the support.

i haven’t really done that much with them apart from keeping the feed consistent and ramped up to a solid EC of 2. I have had to toy with the amount of nutes i am giving as I could see a little tip burning on the leaves etc. The environment is between temperature of 23-28 degrees and a RH of 40%-50%. Anyway here they are at day 50 soaking up the rays.

In the photo two of the smallest plants are on some form of riser. I have now put the plant that is front left on a riser aswell. Hopefully this will increase the intensity of the light encouraging some outward growth before they finish in a few weeks. Fingers crossed they are decent enough size in the end

Plant 1 is flying also now, she has gone at her own rate but is also now starting to flower. it will be interesting to see how she grows being the only one not directly under a light.

Plant 2 you can see in the group shots to be nice and chunky which is nice as she is the shortest of them all.

Number 3 is also doing ok with a different structure, she is growing abit more slender but still looks like she will gain some weight too.

Moving on to my favourite, the runty girl. Her. Buds are starting to show a little bit of colour which looks awesome.

The largest is just swelling by the day, I am just watching her in awe lol! I can’t wait to. See how fat she gets.

I am going to upload this to AFN aswell.

Have a great day guys!

Update time! Before i start, just to let you know this is over 2 posts because of the amount of pictures.

Here were are on day 58 and things are going ok here. Here are some group photos of the girls. It is hard to get them all in the same picture with them being on risers etc but here are a couple of angles nevertheless.


I have improved the quality of the photos so I hope you guys can see the difference and enjoy the better clarity.

They are coming along nicely and are still all drinking at different times however the nutes are pretty much the same. I think next time If I start cal mag earlier then I won’t have the trouble of deficiency down the line.

Currently when feeding the pH I aim to keep between 6-6.5 with an EC of between 1.9-2. I have been doing some research and I think I am going to use something called C-Result for the next grow. Check it out, it seems good. I know a few growers who are using it and claim the bud sites doubled… I don’t believe these things till I experience them for myself haha. Just a heads up.

Here is what was the smallest plant… She is still doing well and is stretching into her space nicely. I was worried that she was not directly under a light. But judging by her growth i don’t think it matters. I think she will take a few weeks longer but will be as good as these if not better. She has got the most space to stretch out of the lot.

I don’t ever touch the buds but I did give a little poke with my little finger and all of these girls are mad dense and sticky. Especially 2-4

Plant 2, the shortest and fattest girl is looking good. She is swelling more and more and I can’t wait until she frosts up.

I made a bit of an adjustment RE the temp probe. I read that if the probe is in radiant light the reading will be wrong and you should aim to keep it out of direct light, thus under the shade of a leaf. As you can see I have stuck it in the thick of plant number 2. This has. Increased the temp about 4 degrees and I have seen a significant difference in the rate the pots dry. Hopefully this will mean during them. Putting on the most weight in the final few weeks I can really hammer down on the temps. You can see that here. can you see it....

temp probe 2.jpg


In other news, I am getting another 400 Skyline and setting up a small veg tent where I can put the next run of autos to veg as these finish. I’ll be doing this in the week that I hit flush… Then the chop to hang dry leaving 10/14 days and then a 4-6week cure.


I want to try to fit 4 20l smart pots into this tent and just germinate the seed in the soil and not mess about with transplanting… So the cogs are turning lol.

Lady number 3 I was slightly worried about not being as strong, but she has also accelerated and is oozing frost and swelling daily.

Moving on to plant 4. Im sure you all know her as my little runt but MAN she is beautiful. Her buds are starting to really pile on the frost and throw out all sorts of purply pinks and blues. She is the fruitiest smelling and so sticky!

p4.jpg


p4.3.jpg


p4.2.jpg


Plant 5 is looking good still to!! I am really impressed with the buds to leaf on this girl, looks like she will be easy enough to trim. Her stature speaks for itself and she is a beauty. She seems to be throwing the white hairs out and hasn’t really started frosting over from the larger buds but the smaller side ones are covered in THC. The fattest part of the main cola is about 2.5 inches at the moment.

Heres a few more group ones.

Anyway that’s it for this post. I am sorry for the delay but things are busy. As always if you, can give any advice or anything I am doing wrong just let me know!!

Stay blessed everyone.

Plant 3

Plant 4 (Runt)

I should probably stop calling her this because shes awesome. Really frosty and fruity berry smell, super dank. If her buds were tighter she would be perfect! but i am pleased nevertheless.
