Indoor Shadowgrows a Purple Rolex and Creme de la Chem

[Shadowgrows]

Thanks @fauxnacho . I may have caused a nutrient lockout with my water. So last week I filled my two gallon sprayer with well water (around 7.8 PH), used PH Down to around 6.4 then used it twice over 6 days to water my plants without checking the PH again. I dumped all of it before I thought to test it again... Try to take shortcuts and only create more work.

Well, I think the yellowing has slowed or stopped its progression on Purple Rolex. Hoping I’m not wrong... She was fed her second round of Terp Tea Bloom this morning. I will trim the affected leaves in the next couple days after I have determined the effectiveness of the tea and properly PHed water.
CDLC has some yellowing of the lower leaves as well, which is what led me to believe it was my water since the issue was not necessarily limited to one plant. She’s filling out the buds nicely, considering the torture I put her through so far.
CDLC #2 looks great just like the other two did at three weeks. Let’s see if I can manage a clean grow with this one now lol! Oh, she was topped this morning and will get her second application of Terp Tea Grow on Friday.

Quick update today. Out of town on vacation for a few days. Everything has been watered thoroughly to await my return. Purple Rolex is still recovering and CDLC is struggling. This grow has been a shitshow for me. Really disappointed that my first journal is with riddled with rookie mistakes. Anyhow, before I left town, Pruple Rolex got 3tsp Bloom and 3 tsp Grow in accordance with the feed schedule. CDLC#2 got 5tsp of Grow and CDLC is just rolling along in a diminutive manner (I messed her up bad). There are definitely some takeaways from this grow that I must remember. One being that I must remain true to the parameters set in my grow plan... anyhow, here are some photos. Feel free to criticize, but please bring a solution to the party if you wish to share the criticism! Take care guys and see you next week!

Thanks Blue! Amongst all flaws, there is still beauty. For without one, there would not be the other. During my Military career I always hated After Action Reviews but in my age I have discovered the value in a well constructed review of whatever process is completed. Thank you for the encouragement

Well, I returned Monday night to find my tent in sorry shape. Purple Rolex has all cloudy trichomes and a couple of amber. She will be chopped in a few more days. The buds did not build as I had hoped, likely due to the abuse I put her through, although the buds she does have are very nice looking. CDLC #1 is turning as well but likely has a week or two left. CDLC #2 is enjoying life and already bigger than the first one. Her first application of Terp Tea Bloom will be tomorrow. Hard to believe she is 5 weeks old already.

After Care:




CDLC#1

Purple Rolex

This leaf on CDLC#2 this was interesting to me this morning. It looked at first to have an extra leaf blade but the petiole just forked them a little different

I’ve decided to chop Purple Rolex on Sunday afternoon. But until then, other things need to be chopped on the property!

 

[Shadowgrows]

Hello all!
I ended up chopping both Purple Rolex on Monday and Creme de la Chem yesterday. Trichomes were all cloudy with a little amber and if I had to guess, around 2ounces total after they dry. Currently, Purple Rolex is hanging in a cardboard box and CDLC is in brown paper bags. Overall, I’m glad these ladies produced good looking bud in spite of the mishandling. I would have preferred CDLC to be a bit more frosty but it is what it is.
CDLC #2 is well into pre-flower and will get another feeding tomorrow. I also tossed another Purple Rolex into some well water to soak for 24hrs. She had a tail coming out of the shell before I dropped her in the air-pot with Roots Organics Original soil. For the No-Till bed that had the CDLC, I planted a Forum Stomper. I’ve grown three of them and hoping that knowing how they grow will help me learn how my soil is working out. This will be the third grow in the 15 gallon no-till.
CDLC#2 Leaf stood up next to CDLC#1. The damn leaf was one inch shorter than the whole plant lol

Trimmed CDLC Buds:

Purple Rolex right before chop. I forgot to photograph the trimmed bud. I was too high!

Thank you kindly. I have a hard time throwing money in the trash, which is probably the main reason I just let things ride instead of yanking a plant when it looks hopeless lol. The buds will serve their purpose and CDLC#2 is looking amazing. She got 2tsp of Terp Tea Bloom and Grow this morning. I’ve adjusted my feed schedule to account for a couple of things I had not considered. The Roots Organics feed schedule looks to be for a 12 week grow. I may be wrong, but I’ll find out in a few days when the application is taken up by the Lady hah!
Purple #2 has not broken ground yet and Forum Stomper is still underground as well. I expect to see both of them broke ground by Saturday.
The harvested Purple Rolex is drying nicely, hanging in the sprayer box. I am strongly considering getting another exhaust system and setting up my 2x4 tent as a drying room. I usually put them in paper bags and dry in the tent like now, but my number of growing plants has increased which is leaving me with less floor space (shameless plug at sharing the available area pains with @MidnightSun hahah)!
