First Grow - Outdoor/indoor

[Traviscorzin]

hello,
These are my girls. I have
Galactic Jack from clone
Sunset Sherbet from clone
24K Gold from clone
Platinum Girl Scout Cookies from seed (clinicweed)
Lemon Cookies from seed (clinicweed)
All seeds I currently have came from bud I got from dispensaries. These are the first two I planted. Kinda hoping for a male from the GSC.
We started using Fox Farms Ocean Forest (FFOF) soil, Fox Farm nutrient trio and distilled water.
I have a lot of pictures because they're like 7 weeks old.

Those last pictures were June 6th.

June 14th
At this point, we had gotten a light timer and tried to start acclimating them to both a reduced light schedule, going from 24-0 to 18-6 over 2 weeks, and getting them used to being outside in the sun.

June 23rd

Started noticing small holes in the leaves. Had them close to an orange tree that had some spider mites on it. Took care of both with some Neem Oil.

June 29th.

Topped because we don't have a lot of vertical room and doused this time with a proper mixture of warm water, neem, and additive free dish soap.
Decided to get a grow tent and some LEDs with my birthday money. Also got a digital ph meter, some Superthrive, an exhaust fan for tent, and a cloning gel.

 

[Traviscorzin]

The seeds, they find me, whisper things to me, is that normal?

 

[Traviscorzin]

Tangie seed from some of the best stuff I've ever had! Found 2 seeds in a half oz!

July 5th

Started noticing possible Magnesium deficiency. Did research found that FFOF doesn't have dolomite lime, and we were using distilled water, so I bought a cal mag from botanicare.
Decided to get a 5 gallon bucket and a lid, and using tap water that I've ph'ed. I live in a really nice part of socal so our water quality is good. Still leave the water for a day to let chlorine evaporate.

July 14th.

Transplanted the week prior to 5 gallon fabric pots. I'm dumb and didn't account for how much soil was needed and my 24k got the short end. Went out and got a bag of EB Stone organic potting mix to supplement the FFOF. Went thru the soil before adding it just to make sure I knew what was in it. Plants show a little shock from transplant.

Still only feeding them superthrive in some ph adjusted tap water.

These are my seedlings. Not so little anymore. When I up potted, I put these in bigger pots and thought I had destroyed them. The root ball wasn't intact and the dirt just fell out. The roots were all loose and I seriously felt like crying. Not sure what happened, but I'm super happy I messed these up!

I love looking at the different kinds of leaves from different strains.

 

[Traviscorzin]

Cal mag came, so that will be added to the regular watering along with the superthrive for another week. Decided to make a nutrient solution at full strength in a gallon and a half of distilled water, and fed that to all my plants. Each one of the 5 gallon got less than half a gallon, and the two smaller ones got about a third of a gallon. The two smaller ones got additional water cuz they were a little dry, the others were ok until tomorrow.

 

[Traviscorzin]

Haven't been up to see my plants in a few days, but my aunt took some pics for me. I'm not sure what that thing is on the leaf but she couldn't find a worm or any bugs on the plants.

All the light green is new growth on the bigger plant. We decided to flip on Saturday July 22nd and just leave them outside permanently.

I haven't been giving much veg nutrients because they were in FFOF and they seemed healthy enough without.

Normal watering now is tap water that we have sit for at least a day in a plastic bucket that I add cal-mag and superthrive to.
Nutrient watering will be done with distilled water and I'm going to start at half strength for the three clones and observe any changes.

 

[Traviscorzin]

Also thinking about popping another 2 or 3 seeds. I have:
(2) Tangie
(2) Berry White -FlowKana
(1) Lemon Cookies
(2) Durban Poison
All from bud from clinics. Not sure what made them have seeds or other buds they could be crossed with, but they were really good and I'm sure whatever I get will be amazing.

Here's the girls 1 week into flower. Today I gave them a mixture of:
3 gallons crystal gyser water
3t Tiger Bloom
3t Big Bloom
2t cal mag
1t superthrive

First I watered the plants with 2/3 of a gallon of water, then I gave the nutrient water. Told my aunt to take pictures this week to see how they each react to the nutrients.

 

[Traviscorzin]

I tipped these last week. The branches that stretch out in equal length is cool as hell. The leaves were a little droopy but perked up after a little water.

Gave them a gallon of nutrients between the two of them, probably not necessary for that much water, but I'm not going to preserve nutrient mixed water for future feedings.

1 gallon Crystal Geyser h2o
2t big bloom
1t grow big
1t cal mag
1/4t superthrive

 

[Traviscorzin]

germination of my 6 seeds was 100% successful. Planned on planting straight into 3 gallon smart pots, but they had not arrived by the time I planted. So they went into whatever I could find lying around at my grandmas.
Soil is
EB Stone Organics potting mix
MG perlite (I know it has nitrogen in it)
5-1 ratio.
This may be my new soil mix to grow. I've been finding that the EB Stone is pretty good. Plus it's a lot cheaper, and I can amend it myself to include dolomite lime if needed.

 

[Traviscorzin]

Strains for the new seedlings are:
2 Durban Poison
2 Berry White
1 Tangie
1 MarionBerry

These were all dispensary quality weed that I found the seeds in. hoping for mostly females, but if a DP wants to be a great quality male, I'm ok with that . That was an amazing 1/2 oz I got from a local place. First nug I cracked had one. Then the last big nug had one buried in the middle. I was so excited because GSC is amazing, and I'm not saying I could make a cross like that, it just seems that DP crosses well.

 

[Traviscorzin]

Been in flower for s couple weeks now. They're starting to stack and smell.

2 gallons distilled water
Big bloom 3 tsp
Tiger bloom 3 tsp
Cal mag 1 tsp
Ph'd to 6.35 and split between the three girls.

 

[Traviscorzin]

Seedlings looking fantastic. Up potted to some 3 gallon fabric pots and the root ball was so much more intact and I had enough soil this time for them. They smell more than the others and I'm thinking we should flip to flower next week.

1 gallon distilled water
2 tsp big bloom
1.5 tsp grow big
.5 tsp cal mag
.5 tsp superthrive
Ph'd to 6.6 and split between the two of them equally.

New batch of seedlings looking good. Giving one a chance but I'm pretty sure it's dead . Really interested in this next batch.
