New Grower First grow, humbolt caramel cream (8-3-22)

Got home from work today and Im liking the way my plant is looking. Watered 1 gal today. Pot was super light but still damp looking almost all the way down.
Sides of my square bag have come away from the edges of the soil so I can peak basically all the way down to the bottom.

Plants looking ok. bud sites are starting to expand. More pistils poking out all over.

This is honestly the best hobby. Watching this thing change day by day during flower is exciting. I cannot wait until I get really good at this.

I havent done a temp or rh update in a while but since the cold snap the past few weeks tent conditions are amazing in my opinion 71-74°F/45-53%rh lights on, about 67-70°/52-58%rh lights off.

Had to take some full res photos of the plant and crop em up good to upload. Love the camera on this phone.

Got of early today after an 8 day stretch total so thats cool, probably will have the next 4 off too.

Also got new glasses today. After about 3 years it was well overdue.

Girl is looking nice, humidity is a bit high, 58%. Not horrible but it warmed up today so it was something I expected. Took a bunch of pics and finished the defoliation I started at the beginning of flower plus cut out some auxiliary branches that started after flower.
Had my camera res set a little too high even cropped I couldnt get the defoliation pic to upload. But heres some more

Whole plant

Overall she is looking great besides the leaves that are solid yellow but it seems like most of that is contained on the auxiliary branches of the main tops, so hopefully they still produce nice frosty colas. I count 8 so fingers crossed. Also there were 2 pretty fried fan leaves I almost didnt see. So dry they basically fell off as soon as I touched them. Everything else is in fair shape.

Little bit of a lull day for me today. About all I got done was a good photo shoot of some of the main bud sites. Coming along nicely.
Watered 1 gal with a full feed today.

These are my favorites. The lights off photo of the whole plant gives you a clearer picture of all the budsites in the canopy. Littered everywhere. Definitely looking forward to seeing how it fattens up and growing it again.

So I think I labeled my thread wrong yesterday because its definitely week 2 now technically its day 15 I believe cuz I switch to flower 2 saturdays ago. Im horrible at this journaling stuff

Didnt do anything but take pics again. Still warm so the humidity is a bit high. Hovering at 61-62%.

Some of these might be the same spot on the plant but I was trying to get nice crisp clean pics. Only thing I noticed is the pot is holding water for a lot longer, almost like she isnt drinking as much as week 1. I dont know if thats normal but she looks good. Nothing drooping leaves almost reaching up like they are suppose to. So yeah I think she just finially has the right amount of everything right now.

Not much to update. Hit her with a 2.5 gal flush according to the feeding schedule. Definitely helped some hydrophobic areas of the soil. Mainly the top. Otherwise everything is good. Feeding tomorrow if the pot is dried up by then which I think it will be.

Still waiting on my tracking info from multiverse, if I was reading the freebies right I should be getting some free auto seeds with the purchase, contimplating starting one of em right away.

So I fed the girl like planned. Shes a little droopy today but thats ok with me. I do have to say this phone takes amazing macro shots if you get lighting and everything absolutely perfect lol.

Thats what I could muster up that wasnt blurry. But still for holding a phone, shakey I think this is pretty good.
Then I got some close ups of the whole bud sites

Ok thats it for now. Less than 45 more days according to the details, Im very pleased with how things are going so far, only thing I want now is big BIG buds lmao

So early morning for me. Had a bunch of stuff to do before lights on and I could take some more pictures.

Lemme just say over the night some more terpene profiles mustve started developing because it smells like carmel in my tent this morning. About 3 or 4 days ago a skunky/gassy odor started getting really pronounced upon poking your head in the tent now when you open the door you're greeted with this nice fine candy smell. The skunky/gas odor is still there but it definitely reminds me of a nice candy shop in my tent now. If this is what its like right now I cant wait to see, or should I say smell the final weeks.

Humidity is still a bit high for my liking. Last night it peaked at 65%. With the lights on its still holding at 60%. Exhaust is running max but its definitely the flip in weather conditions outside. Its been in the mid 60s to lower 70s the past week and its been raining quite a bit. But its starting to cool off again so hopefully the air dries out again.

Heres some pics I took this morning

So looks like buds almost doubled in size over the day today. Not quite doubled but they look a lot bigger than yesterday. Got home a little late so I wont be doing the slurry test I talked about in the live chat. Itll be lights out before the slurry is ready to be tested. Thinking shes ok though. Most leaves are praying to the bud gods. New growth is super green thanks to the back to back feedings. Also looks like everything developed a thicker coating of trichomes. Sugar leaves surrounding the bud sites are almost completely coated now.

Wasnt feeling up to getting some good pics in yesterday. Whatever bug I had was making me feel extremely sick every time I exerted myself at all and bending over the plant trying to get some good pics with the chills and an upset stomach was not my idea of a good time
With that said I did notice yesterday that some leaves tips on the new growth were starting to turn yellow, not concerned, maybe I over watered a tad the past few days. I did do a 2 gallon flush and then water an entire gallon within the next 36 hours then topped it off with another half gallon late thursday all full feeds too so Im hoping I didnt over feed.
Didnt do anything yesterday but remoisten then top few inches of soil with plain water and did some lollipopping defoliation. Probably not gonna do anything else and just let her finish even though some of the lower budsite are a little covered up by the fan leaves in the middle.
