I didn’t want to start a diary from seed like my first couple of grows. They weren’t total failures, but wasn’t as successful as I wanted. This is my 3rd grow and so far they’re much nicer than the first two. I really hope nothing crazy happens between now and harvest.

Grow info:

Strain: Hotrod F2 and Brandywine from Dungeons Vault Genetics
Day 38 from 12/12 flip, 4 week veg on the hotrod and 3 week for Brandywine from sprout.

3x3 spider farmer tent
Light: HLG 260 rspec v2
Medium: Fox Farms Coco Loco in 3gal Rain Science grow bags
Nutrients: Jacks 321 (Bill Farthings “The Recipe”)


Started them in solo cups and just gave plain tap water, never ph’d. Did a much better job transplanting them this time. One thing I will do next grow is before planting them in their new home, I will break the roots loose a little on the bottom..




I didn’t start feeding them in their new homes for about 2 weeks, probably could have gone a little longer. Never had any leaf issues when feeding “The Recipe” at 80%. I’m going to go back to straight coco next run.



The Brandywine started out rough, only 2 of 5 germed, which I think I kept them too wet. The 2 that germed had a rough time getting going. Almost culled them both.
After about 7 days from flip, I found my first males, after sexing them all, I ended up with 3 males and 3 females. About a week later, one of the females ended up being a herm. Caught early and killed off.



So ended up with 2 girls, one of each strain. Now we are on day 38 since 12/12 flip. I think they look ok. Far better than my previous grows. Here is what we lookin like today.

If anyone has any tips or advice I’m all ears. Really hoping to cross the finish line this time with no issues!!
