Where's My Dog - Day 18
She's a beast. Huge fan leaves reaching to the edge of the pot already. I decided to top her today above the 4th and I think I will just leave to 8 branches for now. Still plain water and doing well. Really looking forward to this one.

Plain rain water pH to 6.1/6.3, EC 0.0

What's My Name - Day 18
I think I over watered my solo cup a bit and my pH was to high so the girls got a little droopy. Leaving her for an extra day to dry out before feeding again. All in all she a strong one so far.

Watering to runoff every other day at pH5.5/5.9 @ EC 0.4

Where's My Dog - Day 26
Still nice and green and still on plain pH'd water. I have been trying to guide the lower branches out but managed to split a couple at the main stem. I think it was because my rh% dropped making her a bit more brittle. The damaged top node is struggling a bit more than the lowers and if it doesn't show improvement in the next day I will have to force myself to chop it.

What's My Name - Day 26
Still struggling a bit as I get used to watering the coco/perlite mix. I have been using a syringe to control watering. Same age as the WMD but size difference is drastic. Hopefully I found a groove.

150ml @ pH 5.6-5.8 EC 1.4 every 2-3 days.

Where's My Dog - Day 32
I ended up chopping the struggling top node and I tried to guide one of the lower branches up into its spot because it was also struggling compared to the others. I didn't really like how that branch was growing either so I chopped it. So WMD is down to 6 legs and oddly enough, that's where I wanted to be anyways. Now with the 6 nodes, I can try and focus more on quality vs. quantity.

She was drooping a bit after the last watering and I wasn't sure if she was hungry so I let her sit for a few days and shes looking good so I'll let it ride.

I feel bad just "wasting" the clippings, I am trying to replant them and grow them out, lol. If anything, It's a good learning experience. Also, I keep having little plants pop up in my soil because it contains worm castings from my compost bin. So I decided to grow one out to see what it is.

What's My Name - Day 33
Doing OK but I feel like I definitely stunted her and her sisters. Damn over watering. Pulling through and getting a routine but she's about 8" tall and throwing flowers so she doesn't have much more veg time. That's alright, she's going to be a fist size bud of furry!

150ml @ pH 5.6-5.8 EC 1.4 every 2-3 days.

Where's My Dog - Day 38
Doing well and stretching up to the light. Nice little pompoms at the tops of the branches as she is growing. Still doing well on plain, pH adjusted water for now. No signs of any deficiency.

1.5 gal @ pH to 6.1/6.3, EC 0.0
Rain Water
(1 X 5 days)

What's My Name - Day 38
On the right, next to her Bourbon Kush sister. Doing well and still stretching in pre flower. I think she is looking a little P/K deficient so I'm going to transitioning to bloom nuites to try and keep up with the inevitable needs. Hopefully the switch will slow the yellowing down low.

200ml @ pH 5.6-5.8 EC 1.4
Maxigro
(1 X every 2-3 days)

Where's My Dog - Day 45
Doing really well, stretching and building a great and sturdy structure. Started to show some signs of deficiency so I gave a light feed of grow and bloom nutrients. And transitioned to bloom nutrients with some molasses.

1.5 gal @ pH to 6.1/6.3, EC 1.6
Rain Water
(1 X 3 days)

What's My Name - Day 45
Doing well and throwing flowers but still going up. She doesn't look any worse after slowly switching to bloom. Moving to bloom nutrients with added CaliMagic.

Where's My Dog - Day 49
Looking nice and throwing flowers. I some some purple colors in the leaf veins and fading leaves so in addition to the base nutrients, I added some Epsom and Crystal Burst to kick up the P/K in the last watering. I might increase the EC a bit more next time to bring the feed to 1.8 till harvest.

What's My Name - Day 49
The added CaliMagic didn't really seam to help so I switched to adding a good amount of base nutrients plus some Epsom and Crystal Burst to add extra P/K.

200ml @ pH 5.6-5.8 EC 2.0
Maxibloom
(1 X every day)

Where's My Dog - Day 53
Looking lovely! She's been super easy to grow so far. Just maintain ejat im doing on this one and she should give me a nice harvest. Stacking flowers and filling the budsite up. Smelling sweet and a bit fruity with something else I'm trying to figure out.

1.5 gal @ pH to 6.1/6.3, EC 1.6

What's My Name - Day 53
Looking at the nutients I am using and I decided to change things up a bit. I was looking to try and match the recommended NPK ratio of veg 3-2-1 / bloom 1-2-3. I found that my base veg nutrient and P/K booster give me the 1-2-3 during bloom so I am going to try that till the end.

Where's My Dog - Day 60
Loving everything about this grow so far. Buds are bulking up and smelling fruity kind of like pineapple and its mouthwatering. Still a few more weeks to go but the frost is building thick and I'm already getting a little antsy.

2 gal @ pH to 6.1/6.3, EC 1.6 with plain water every other watering. Plus a shot of molasses during this past watering. I might give one more shot in 2 weeks.
(1 X 3-4 days)

What's My Name - Day 60
She was showing some signs of N tox so I will switch back to a bloom nutient feed that is heavier in P/K. She is getting close so I'm not as worried about how her leaves look.

150ml @ pH 5.8 EC 1.6

They look great bud! I like to see fading on the plants around week 5 ish in flower personally. Lots of personal opinion goes into what a plant should look like at the end of flower. Great work with the grow.

Thanks! They have been a great grow with minimal extra work needed. I'm excited for the final product. Buds are getting super fatty fat.
