Here it goes... I've been wanting to start a journal since I started the grow(55 days today) but just haven't had the time. Now like any noob I'm starting to run into questions that are just to specific to scour the internet to find and this place is well....just awesome so here it goes.
(Forgive me if there is a layout for this)
Soil:
OF in 3 gallon pots
Lights: Viparspectra 300W LED X2, Homemade hanging light with 2 100w red and 1 100w blue CFL's @ 20/4 the whole time
Nutes: trio, General Hydro Cal/Mag, Blackstrap, and a little help with General Hydro PH up/down to 6.0 to 6.6 w/wo nutes.
Temps: 75 to 81 Degrees with RH of between 38% to 45%
Ventilation: Small floor fan for air circulation and a 4" 171 CFM with a 4"x8" Phat carbon filter
Grow Space: 4'Lx2'Wx5'H Closet with a reflective car visor backer (lol but seriously it was 3 bucks at the store)
Seeds: Blueberry auto and Northern Lights auto from ILGM ( and you might see a Sweet Seeds Red Poison auto I got from Seedsman in some shots)
Germination was in water for 24 hours then to paper towel for another 24 then straight into soil in 3 gallon pot. I had done a fair amount of research about transplanting autos and decided to do it right the first time.
First few weeks were as I can only assume normal with growth rates unlike any plants I have ever seen grow except for grass during the rainy season. First signs of sex @ day 18 was super exciting since I've only dabbled in bagseed photos a couple times and they all turned out male much to my dismay after 2 months of watching and waiting. I almost gave up until I read about feminized autos. I also started LST on day 18.
Day 21 first feed of nutes @ 1/4 strength and bumped it up little by little every week after.
Day 42 I flush both since I thought the yellow leafs on the BB were some kind of burn but now think there may have been a lockout caused by PH or needed CalMag (didn't get CalMag until day 50).
Day 43 Saw the first Trichs on the BB. NL only on calyxes in the buds not on sugar leafs.
Day 51 Cut a test branch off the BB about 2g. It's pretty good even though it was quick dried.
Day 54 Almost all the fan leafs on the BB are yellow and pop off pretty easy but the buds are looking good and getting frosty. Defoil almost every yellow leaf on her. The NL is still super green and no trichs on the sugar leafs hardly but in the buds the calyxes are looking sweet.
And That brings us to today day 55. Sorry for the long read but now I can start working on the journal the way it was meant to be.
Now for the Pics. they will be in another post since they are all looking goofy when added from my laptop. I'll try to just highlight since i have a ton.
