Introduction

Welcome!

Some of you may remember me from my other grow log. 5 which I am going to be shutting down.

All of my grows from now on will be posted here.

The Setup

Equipment Type Description
Light: Mars Hydro TS2000
Tent: BAUX 3’ x 3’ x 7’
Pots: Fabric 5 Gallon
Water: Tap Adjusted using Natural Citric Acid (Powder) after sitting for 24hours
Fans: N/A 1 x Exhaust, 2 x Oscillating
Humidifier: PURE Holds 1L
Organic Soil Mix (Base) Type Amount
Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss: Golf Green 1 Part(30L)
Organic Compost: Sea Soil 1 Part(30L)
Worm Castings: Nurturing Nature Organic 0.5 Part(15L)
Perlite: #4 Grade 1/3" - 3/4" 1 Part(30L)
Nutrients Type Amount
All Purpose Gaia Green 4-4-4 1tbsp - 1.5tbsp per gallon of base
Power Bloom Gaia Green 2-8-4 1tbsp - 1.5tbsp per gallon of base
Bat Guano Indonesian 0-11-0 1tbsp per gallon of base / top dress in flower only
Insect Frass Gaia Green 3-1-3 1tbsp - 1.5tbsp per gallon of base
Kelp Meal Gaia Green 1-0-3 3tbsp per gallon of base
Glacial Rock Dust Gaia Green 1tbsp - 1.5tbsp per gallon of base
Oyster Shell Flour Gaia Green 1tbsp - 1.5tbsp per gallon of base
Mycorrhizae MYKE Tree & Shrub Sprinkled on the roots during re-potting

During Flower, I topdress with Power Bloom, Worm Castings, and a 1/2 Dose of 4-4-4 at the end of week 3. I also pot up my plants about a week before flower into the 5G pots so there are enough nutrients up until roughly week 5 of flower. The Top Dress at week 3 becomes available for uptake after 1-2 weeks, right around the time the pots would become depleted making for a smooth final transition into the latter half of the flowering period.

I change up the soil every so often and I’ll do my best to add a section explaining the changes at the beginning of each grow log in this thread.

Grow Log #1 Mainlining - 4/15/2022

A Week Before Flower

We are currently 1-2 weeks away from the flip to flower with the plants being topped and started LST a few weeks back.

I’ve been a bit lazy with the training so it looks messy but it will be cleaned up before flower.

Here is the lineup:

Type Description
Breeder Future Genetix
Strain Raptors OG
Genetics Miami Heat x Triple OG #6
Variety Hybrid
Gender Feminized / Photoperiod
Flowering Time 9 weeks
Number of Plants 2
Type Description
Breeder Pure Breeding
Strain Cotton Candy Rock Candy
Genetics Durban Poison x New England Rock Candy
Variety Hybrid
Gender Feminized / Photoperiod
Flowering Time 9 weeks
Number of Plants 2

I grew these same plants on my last run (one died) and out of the 3 that I was able to harvest I got about 8oz total. This time I’m aiming for 12oz+ off of 4.

I have one additional plant outside in a 20gal barrel. I’ll keep you posted on that too!

Last week of veg. I’ll be flipping over to flower on Saturday.

Big defoliation today & continued tying down the branches. They are growing rapidly & all are perfectly healthy :slight_smile:

A few weeks back I snapped a main branch off the top left plant. I didn’t bother trying to repair it & decided to move on. That’s why it looks so much smaller but I’m trying to spread it back out in all directions.

Water: 6.6pH
Humidity: 55%
Temperature: 21-23C (lights on) / 16-18C (lights out)
Age: 40-50ish days from seed… I think??

Last grow I aimed for the perfect textbook mainline but this time I’m having a little more fun with it.

I cleaned up the undercarriage today as well. Idk if it’s truly “lolipopping”, but same idea, I guess. :slight_smile:

As usual I forgot to take a picture before I defoliated and trimmed but here’s what it looks like now

Happy 420 !

Don’t think I’ve experienced growth this rapid before. I had to double check the dates and the seeds were put in the ground on Feb 27 and by March 7 they looked like this:

One of these is outside in a 20gal barrel and another showed signs of being a herm so I culled it. The remaining 4 are what u see here :slight_smile:

Love it! Do you let them grow natural or train them up??

All depends on my mood honestly that and my size of flower area… I let em do their thing or train em all depends on what I’m trying to achieve with the particular strain. The clone mom of gg4 that’s going was topped at the 6th node and put into flower after a couple month veg so I could take plenty of clones to share and when she finished stretching I flopped over the tallest tops to even out the canopy.

Forgot to switch my light schedule over to 12/12 so tomorrow is the first official day of flower :nerd_face:

Caved today and bought some JOTI seeds:

  • Black Do-lato (Dosidos x Gelato x Blackberry Kush) In House Genetics
  • Black Berry Breath (Meat breath x Blackberry Kush) Thug Pug Genetics

Both look and sound amazing but I’m really excited for the In House Genetics cross.
