Hi all! So this will be the first grow that I've attempted to keep a quality journal on. These are a random mix of Nirvana genetics that are a mystery to me. (the three ugliest are clones that were taken very poorly). 02/10/2017 The one in the front obviously didn't make it. Here they are 3 days later after they've gotten used to my veg tent and fed my normal nutrient line. 02/13/2017 At this point I pulled the dead one. They are really starting to take off with my lighting and nutrient schedule! Now they're chugging along and starting to look much happier. Growth is beginning to be explosive and I'm going to have to think about culling the herd here soon. 02/18/2017 I've got a jungle on my hands now! They shot up without my notice and a topping is in order! 02/23/2017 They all got topped today and a few males were pulled. Next order of business, thinning the herd and choosing the best 8 of them to go forward with. 02/25/2017 Today the herd has been thinned and the surviving girls were transplanted into 3 gallon pots. These have unfortunately suffered a bit of neglect as I've been working mostly on my main garden. Next order of business, supercropping to get them under control. More to come! 03/01/2017
Eh, they're not the prettiest seedlings ever, but they were on the verge of being thrown away out of frustration from my buddy, so I'm going to see what I can do with them. I've still got 3-4 weeks before my flower room is vacant, so they've got plenty of time left to fill out and undergo some major supercropping.
Hell yeah they will fill out nice by then and I just thru a new set in my room this morning check out my journal
A little update today. They're growing into their stretch a bit. They've still got 3-4 weeks left to veg, so they should thicken up quite a bit. I may end up topping again in that period of time, but I expect these to be a good 3.5-4ft tall before going into flower.
Quick update today. The girls are looking a lot better after going through a bit of a stretch. Today was their second topping to reduce vertical growth as they're already about 2.5ft tall. I'd like to keep the final plants after the flowering stretch under 4ft, but we'll see how it goes. The first batch of 4 to begin flowering still have ~4 weeks left before they start flowering, so they should bush out a lot in that amount of time. Super cropping will begin soon!
So a change in plans. These girls will no longer be flowered out and will instead have clones cut from them and vegged/flowered in my new 4 bucket DWC system. I'll be starting a new grow journal for that venture.
