I think I might be getting the hang of this. Its the first week I havnt killed a plant so definitely an improvement on the previous weeks .
3 seedlings are chugging along and starting to look more like plants .
Ak 47 - 12 days old
This plant had some crazy yellowing on the first serated leaves . They were basically dead so I chopped them . I don't know what caused it but she seems to be doing fine now. Explains the weird leaf formation anyway .
Gelato 1- 12 days old
Gelato 2 -11 days old
The youngest and largest of the seedlings
Strawberry pie -35 days old
Lots of growth this week , started to see the first real side branches . Still only trained by bending the main stem and some light defoliation but the canopy seems nice and flat . Il do more as its needed .
Had a problem with what I think was a phosphorus deficiency . I havnt been watering till run off and i think I had a build up of salts. I waterd till run off and measured the ppm and It was pretty high . Iv changed my watering habits and it seems to have fixed the problem .
Pretty much smooth sailing . Still no signs of flowering but it might be too early at day 35 . Going off the what the breeder says the finish time is around 65 -70 days but I think il be waiting a few weeks longer
I'm starting to feel more and more like I might actually end up having something to smoke at the the end of this . Fingers crossed

It was a good week this week. I almost got through it without any fuck ups . The power went off when I was out working 2 days ago. It was off for about 8 hours ,fortunately it went about 30 minutes before lights out going by my timers . So not too bad but I had a massive spike in humidity getting to 85% and some ladies have been looking a little droopy . Over all thow things are going well
AK47- Day 18
One of the ladies that has looked a little droopy the last day or so . Still looking okay I think. Its interesting to see how different the leaves are to the others. So much fatter , definitely more indica looking .
Gelato 1- Day 18
Looking strong not much to say
Gelato 2 - Day 17
Definitely the standout so far seems to be growing really well .
Strawberry pie - Day 41
Exciting times for the strawberry pie . She showed the first signs of flowering at day 36 shooting out some pistols . She's looked droopy aswell for the last day or so but I think she'll bounce back . Canopy is relatively flat and theres a few strong side arms now . Shes still pretty small and I'm not expecting alot off her if she gets to harvest but I'm one step closer to smoking my own

Things are going well as of late . I can't even remember the last time I killed a plant. It all seems to be going relatively smoothly.
Iv been trying to keep it simple . Focus on maintaining a good environment, following a feed schedule and taken it easy on the nutes , doing some lst and defoliating but not too much at a time and not fucking with them too much in general . Seems to be working but I am running into some problems...
The strawberry pie is doing pretty well by my standards atleast . I'm worried about how high the run off ppm is though. I'm feeding at around 500-600 and the run off is coming out at 1500 . Seems high . I want to flush her but I'm not sure how much water to use . Should I use the same as a regular feed which is 2L with 20%-30,% run off or go for more ? If anyone could shed some light it would be much appreciated
Straberry pie - 49 days old
Her she is , still pretty small but I'm happy with her . She's been a little droopy the last couple of days and im not sure why, possibley the high ppm run off . Really coming into flower now though. Very exciting times for me
AK/47 - Day 26
This little girl is growing great . Started some training this week and the stem has gotten thicc . Seems to be responding well to it. Been praying most of the week but I think today's training has made her a little sad .
Gelato 2 -Day 25
This is the superstar of the three . She allways seems happy and is growing strong. Also started training earlier this week and defoliation today.
Gelato 1 -26 days old
This girl is looking a sad after her training today. Definitley the smallest of the bunch but generally seems to be growing strowing so I'm thinking she'll bounce back sooner rather than later
Heres a quick shot of the leaf difference in the gelato (left) and the AK/47 (right) I found it cool atleast
And thats about all for the grow this week . Everything is still alive so I'm doing well by my standards .
Little update for possible future endeavours. Iv just become a meph head .

Its been another good week . Lots of growth and no problems to speak of. Atleast non that im smart enough to recognise. Feels like I'm sort of getting the hang of this haha . It been a learning experience but I feel like I'm getting through it .
Strawberry pie - Day 55
Definitley into flowering now . Shes pretty small but she's been stretching lately. I don't really have any idea what she's gonna do over the next couple of weeks because its my first ever grow. So I don't know how big she will get but I'm enjoying watching her. If I get atleast 1 oz of some nice smoke il be very happy with that
The first signs of frost !! Makes me so proud of her . Winter is coming !
Gelato 1 - Day 32
Still the runt of the littler but definitely looking good . Had some training and she's growing into a little bush .
Gelato 2 -Day 31
Coming on strong, allways seems happy and reacting well to LST
AK47-Day 32
Growing really well , looks abit worse for wear in this photo following a bit of training this morning but the stem on her is getting super thicc and so are the branches . Expecting her to be the biggest of the bunch

Girls are looking nice after there journey so far but definitely a little droopy. I'm dealing with something similar now and not really sure what's going on. I'm in soil though so I cant really offer any advice. I tried to work on soil moisture content and upped my nutes. We'll see what happens. I'll be tagging along to see how your girls end up. Good luck
Thanks man I'm happy with them . Yeah the strawberry pie has definitley been droopy but she's been picking up lately. I have no idea why though so I can't be any help sorry . The other girls are looking abit rough after being trained that day but mostly those 3 are allways praying. Best of luck with your grow il try and follow along but I don't know how to forum haha .
Still going strong this week. Everything is growing nicely, the strawberry pie is in full bloom and the other 3 girls are coming into flowering aswell.
Strawberry pie -Day 62
Looks to be going really well , getting stickier by the day . Gave it a major hair cut this week maybe too much . She seems to be going strong though. I think she starting to show a slight phosphorus deficiency which would make sense because I'm 90% sure I got the feeds mixed up last time and gave her the feed for a veg plant . All in all though going well .
Gelato 1 - Day 39
Still the smallest of the lot but taking shape nicely
AK47-DAY 39
Looking a little bit droopy but generally going strong . Super thick stem on her too
Gelato 2-Day 38
Allways been the super star of three and nothings changed . Shes got a real nice flat canopy , nice and wide
