Howdy my fellow growers and connoisseurs of the greatest plant given to man kind, Cannabis. I have learned a VERY valuable lesson this past year in my growing, the IMPORTANCE of maintaing a clean and tidy grow environment. I did not take the time previously to keep the grow room sealed off from pets, (the cats litter box actually was in the same room!), and left open bags of medium in there, dead plant material etc around… Im sure some of you know how it can get… Well I ended up battling White Powdery Mold, Spider Mites, Viruses of some sort, and Fungus Gnats. My grows were suffering greatly because of these issues and the stress it was causing me trying to have my precious ladies survive to harvest became to much. I set a date in my head, tried to plan it out to have meds to last a little bit and I totally stopped growing, i didn't plant a thing for at least 6 weeks, I got the room all cleaned up, the walls scrubbed down, the old tent was tossed, got a smaller 4x4' to replace the old 5x5' tent as I think the 4x4 created better air movement and created more negative pressure which helps with the air flow tremendously, I also got a small intake filter and fan to vent the light, So I am running a fan/filter for the light and fan/filter for the tent, I got them both vented out the tent to a y connector that gets vented out a window.. So far with the 1,000 MH on at 100% temps have stayed a between 76-84….
I kept seeing all these incredible grows being done on here and on other forums of people using coco and it intrigued me.. I have been trying now this will be around round 3 or so trying to get this coco thing figured out… I will say the clones I put in a 32oz cup Grew into monsters and really impressed me with the benefits of coco that it has made me try to stick it through to get it dialed in… I am no where near there and have severally stunted and ruined a few other ladies currently growing in my tent…. They have been embarrassments at best…. but I continue on wards hoping that other will benefit from my mistakes and my learning… I am learning that it may be best if starting seeds in coco to start off maybe in a solo like cup for the first week or two than tier the cup in a larger pot, than you can water around the lower pot to make the plant search for water to really help establish their roots….I also have started some seedlings in some 1 liter air pots and will see how those turn out..
Well on to the grow here, from the girls I got going this Epic Stone Dragon Kush has been put through the exact same abuse as the other ladies and just out shined and has not missed a beat and has seemed to handle what ever has been thrown at her… Seems like she can handle what ever you throw at her… A very very hearty girl.. The internode spacing is a bit tight, but i attribute a lot of that to the leds they were grown under and also the bottom branches that usually go no where on these girl seem to reach for the top, so a strain I would NOT lollipop, maybe a SOG would be good for her..
She is now 31 days old and has just started to throw some pistils and looks to ready to start showing us her goods, I have not measured her but will so I will know when vertical growth stops so I can begin bloom boosters on her.. Do not want to start those off until than… Currently receiving the Canna Line Up at varying amounts with some SM-90 added in, she's in a 1gal Plant Warror pot with Roots Organic CoCo Palma mosquito dunks and great white amended into the soil… Figured now would be a good time to start this journal as the begging stage to me is kinda boring unless your growing the strain yourself and its nice to compare time frame of where your ladies are compared to the other growers… Well without further Ado (lol this StarKiller Og is some very very potent stuff I am smoking on currently, let me share some with you :pass: :Sharing One:) here she is:

:Sharing One:
I'll try to update her progress on a weeky basis for you guys...
 
There's nothing like having some hydrogen peroxide around, preferably 35% for pathogen prevention, but nigh impossible to get these days thanks to some deranged folks exploiting it's explosive potential, cheap too if you can source it.
 
Thanks Corgy! Yes h202 29% was one of my battling tools last go around with the pests! Thankfully the pussy only made it into the grow tent once so far, sneaky boy... He got caught immediately and high tailed it out of the room and I think I was tripping so hard that he's kinda stayed away from the locked room :) so, so far knock on wood the ladies are looking good and have yet to see any pests or problems with the exception of my constant learning curve with growing...
this ESDK is about on day 38-40ish the 1 gal pot I think wasn't doing this beauty the justice she deserves so against all autoflower growing do's and don'ts I trabsplanted her tonight into a 3gal plant warrior pot... I had a helluva time getting the girl out of her 1 gal dropping her once slightly bending the top cola though no breakage occurred... Just did this now so hopefully in a few days she will recover.... I also just started her in the canna bloom booster... Gave her tonight and her new home a good watering with RO, 5ml cal/mag, 4ml rhizo, 5ml cannazyme, 5ml a&b, and 6ml of boost.... Ph'ed to 5.7.... She's aprox 13.5" in height and literally bud sites all over... Very impressive girl so far... She way ahead of all the others started at the same time... Still residing in the 4x4 tent with a 1,000w hps, she was drinking a ton in the 1 gal pot sometimes requiring watering twice a day... Here she is

:Sharing One:
 
Day 45 here of The Epic Stone Dragon Kush, she's taken very well to the transplant and it doesn't seem as if it's stalled her flowering, thankfully... Giving her now 5ml cal/mag, 2ml rhizo, 4ml cannazyme, 4ml a&b, and 6ml of boost for an ec of 1.2 ph'ed to 5.7. Still under the 1,000w mh. Really loving this gal! Starting to get a kushey lemon smell I picked up on slightly... Again my sense of smell is terrible...

Shes right around 16.5"

Gorgeous girl...very jealous I am, yoda.
 
Thank you Time Traveler and Duggy, she's been such a pleasure to grow! :Growing:

So we are now on day 53 aprox of the ESDK, I have started giving her feeds of around 1.2 to 1.4 without issue, ph'ed to 5.6/5.8. Just 1ml of Rhizo, 5ml Cannazyme, 4ml A&B, 8ml Boost, 1ml sm-90, just today I switched out the 1,000w mh bulb to a super hps 1,000w by hortilux. Hoping that helps all the ladies in flowering mode out, Ive grown full cycle under hps so the vegging plants shouldnt suffer much... I have a very poor sense of smell but I am smell lemons/citrus faintly....


and a bud shot of her...


Stay Stoned!

:pimp: :Sharing One:
 
I would love a smoke report out of this one, she sure is looking good.
 
Thanks bri and muffinman! She is sure one sticky sticky girl, probably the smelliest girl in the tent.... Smelling citrus and earthy scents granted not great in the smell dept... I'd def say a carbon filter is needed for this one :)
Day 58 with this sexy lady... She seems to be loving the hps and is starting to put on some weight... Bud are starting to fatten up.... Thinking another three to four weeks before chop, lol if I can wait that long, will also go more by the trichs than age... A lot of times I don't go by either but more so a feeling... You put so much love in care growing these girls sometimes I have a hard time chopping them....
She's aprox 19.5", getting 2ml rhizo, 5ml cannazyme, 3ml a&b, and today gave her 9ml of boost... With 1ml sm-90, was ph'ed to 5.9
still been a breeze to grow....
