This plant is a monster and i have not messed her up yet which is a shocker. she is budding up nicely and i still have no idea how to support the buds when they get heavy on a plant this size >.<

Day 57 Start of week 9: Looking poorly. I am quite dissapointed that I was unable to grow a better plant. I saw similar issues with a few other peoples grows and hoped it would pull out of it. Managed to get the rust spots to stop and the newest growth looks well. Overall, I've clearly bunged it up somewhere.

After this one I will pop the second seed and give it another grow and see if I can pin down my mistake or if a more successful run, help someone else looking at purchasing these. I know they are quite expensive.

Onto the pics:

Has to be a combination of particular soil and nute line not playing well. I ran the same thing on my prior grow and things looked much much better but similar issues. Yuck. Poor job on this one.

How the whole thing probably should have looked. The newest growth seems to have liked whatever issue I remedied.

I feel ya man! I stunted the hell outta my girls early on. If I had received more than two, I would have restarted.
I'm still hopeful that I can get good looking girl eventually.

My lady was at a point where she was looking soooo sick that I actually put her out on the porch and was going to call it a day!! My daughter convinced me to bring her back in as the plant actually perked up and looked BETTER the morning after being out on the cold porch. I figured I would give her the benefit of the doubt. I put her back in the tent under a different light and brought temp down. I also switched nutes, and started top watering. I have no idea which one worked, but something did!

Knocking it outta da park!!!!
Once you harvest that other girl, you should be able to take care of her well.
Fermented_Fruitz tried some yoyo set up, but I think he found something else that worked better.

Update- Day 51 for the girls, been having some ph issues due to water change and obviously nute problems due to water ph. With some help from a friend on here I am on top of the problem now but may be too late in the grow to completely reverse. The girl in the sip is obviously doing better than the one in the 4 gal bucket. Lime green is 4 gal bucket, may be starving? Sip girl is mostly green and wide. I will do better next time… guaranteed!

DAY 59
Tent temp: 74
Lighting: (2) @BigSm0 55w 3500K Autocobs
Brother Mendel's Midwest Widow
~No Topping/No LST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning peeps!! Buds starting to really come out now, and she is starting to stink so sweet~ Weeee!! I picked off some larger leaves this morning that were blocking light, and then fed her. I upped the nutes a bit to get a higher ppm. She got a morning gallon of: RO water, ½ tsp CALiMAGic, ½ tsp Micro, ½ tsp Grow, 3 tsp Bloom, and ½ tsp liquid KoolBloom. pH came out at 5.9, and PPM 650.

This beauty is in a 2.2 gallon Autopot. Wonder how big she would have gotten if I had put her in the 4.9 gallon?!
