Pictures before lights out

Moved her outside today and she may need a feeding this evening. The humidity is a nice 55% and the sun is beaming, I am getting so excited every day seeing her fill in!

I told myself I wouldn’t get my hopes up in getting to a successful harvest because I was so unsure of the elements and unsure of the environment around here. Now that I’ve made it this far, I want to make sure I can taste the fruits of my labor!

Also did another LST on the clone and will upload pictures when she perks back up.

Fed tonight one gallon of FF Cha-ching 1sp for 1 gallon. Some pictures just as the lights turned off.

Clones perking up and probably in the next couple of weeks I’ll throw it in flower!

Seeds have left the UK and have decided on the next light fixture thanks to @MIGrampaUSA! I should be ordering that hopefully middle or end of this month in time for the next grow!

Some morning shots, so far seems to be taking to the change over to the cha-ching and buds are just stacking up everyday.

Continue to do an hourly inspection for any bugs or pests and so far so good. I have to keep her inside under these LEDs most likely for another week. I’ve got a lot of heavy clouds and cooler air and higher humidity rolling in so I’d rather keep her under some light and controlled conditions.

Have a great day everyone

Good morning pictures! So far so good, and she’s thickening up. I’ll have to start with my supports soon since I bring her in and out I’ll need a good way to do it lol!

Clone is growing nice but her new leaf sites are growing one leaf at a time, I’m guessing due to the constant LST. This strain doesn’t seem to like any stress or being trained. I may just have to let it grow naturally one time and see how it does.

Thank you :) she's struggled a lot this grow and I'll be grateful if I even get to try it

I think I’m in trouble, I’m seeing some bugs inside of my soil when I move it around. Again, first time in soil so I’m not sure if he’s harmless or not.

But I’m also NOW today seeing white spots on my leaves…ugh

How much trouble am I in??

SchwiftyGrower · Sep 7, 2022

It’s a thrip infestation, I’ve got some diatomaceous earth coming in tomorrow to get this under control. Hopefully I can save this

SchwiftyGrower · Sep 8, 2022

Pest issue is now under control! Got rid of all degraded leaves and added DE in the soil and watered with Cha-Ching at 6.3 PH. I then added another dry layer on top so when the soil dries it will destroy any more of those bastards!

I also did a treatment on the clone and all other plants in the outdoor garden to help prevent anything further.

I topped the clone this morning to stop the top growths and ive now completed the first part of the LST, I will now let them grow vertically now before doing the final tie downs and then throw her into flowering!

Have a great day/night! :)

So far so good, DE has done the job and no more pests seen and leaves are looking beautiful again! Buds are filling in and I’m getting very excited

Fighting humidity bad right now, dehumidifier is struggling to keep it low but really need to get this tent and AC/dehumidifier for the room to get it under control for the next grow. Thankfully this strain seems to be mold resistant for now, let’s hope it keeps that way because at nights it stays at 63% which scares the hell out of me.

Clone:
Started doing the final LST tie downs and will tie each branch down one more time before letting it grow vertically.

Day 42 flower:
Progressing along nicely and no issues seen from the high RH.

I was doing measurements and sadly due to height constraints I can’t fit a 4x4, but I can fit and afford a 3x3 from AC infinity.

Seeds have arrived in Mexico and waiting for them to be here, excited to start the next journal!

Clones picking up after the LST and will do the final tie down next week! I’ll let it grow for a week, transplant, start open sesame and then go to flower!

Quick video of the girl, she’s got a few cat hairs on her ignore that lol almost impossible to keep off with 3 cats lmao! I’ve tried and just gave up and will clean it when it dries.

Will probably need watering tomorrow, and will start give her her second go last dose of cha Ching.

Did a huge defoil on the clone of the old growth and only now has mainly new growth. One leafset on her right down due to the constant stress of the tie downs but when she’s done I’m sure she’ll bounce right back. I’ll make sure to leave her enough time to repair before switching her over.

Have a good day/night!

Day 44 Flower:

Watered:
RO 1 gallon
GH FloraMicro - 3tsp
GH FloraGro - 2tsp
GH FloraBloom - 4.5tsp
GH Calimagic - 1tsp
FF Cha-Ching - 1/4 tsp

PH- 6.5
PH Runoff - 6.6

Plants looking beautiful and smell is out of this world!! Buds are really tightening up and even seen a couple swollen calyx on some bottom buds.

The more this is growing and smelling, I’m wondering now if I didn’t mix up my seeds and this is the mango haze. It looks similar and smells fruity like mango so maybe I didn’t mix it up?

Day 45 Flower:

Thinking I have around 3 weeks left, these buds are really stacking up. Each one is golf ball size or bigger and crystals are just oozing out!

Seeing some slight nutrient burn so I will start turning down the nutrients until the end.

Getting to the finish line!!!

Well some things came up and no matter what I have to harvest Sept 26th.

I did a check and luckily most of the trichomes are cloudy and just a small amount clear but only a few amber.

It won’t be as ripe as I would like, but life happens and I will have to take whatever fruits I can get and will have more time to focus on the clone.
