    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Thanks for the good vibes! Trimming was awful, I can see why people call it trim jail, and why strategies like lolly popping are used. Over the period of a few days I spent about five hours total, carefully trimming and harvesting all the little flower sites. I kept as much as the decent...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Plants have been drying for a week now. First few days humidity was in the 50s. It's gotten cold recently and humidity has dropped back down into the 40% range. I've been very busy at work this past week so haven't had a chance to check on them much. Smell was strong first couple of days but now...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Harvest time! The plants received a final watering. I included a photo of the final plant before trimming. Quite colorful. Having undergone little maintenance throughout its growth and flowering, in combination with the strain, the plants were very bushy. I trimmed the fan leaves on all of the...

    For science, I wanted to see what the triches looked like outside of the extremely bright HPS light. Now that I see them under normal lighting, they're definitely ready, so I'll be harvesting.

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    I was able to get some photos right as the light was starting up, so it wasn't completely washed out with intensity. Plants are 16 weeks old, nine weeks into flower. A good chunk of the leaves are yellowing and becoming dry. Humidity has been low so I'm not super concerned about mold. Flowers...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Plants are 15 weeks old, eight weeks into flower. Leaves continuing to die off. Triches are shifting towards a mix of mostly cloudy, with a few clear. The buds are looking very sugary. Watering/nutrients/environment remains the same. I included some additional trich photos this time around...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Plants are 14 weeks old, seven weeks into flower. Leaves are starting to die off here and there as the plant focuses on flowering. I'm still feeding 2-8-4 bloom nutrients. Triches are a mix of clear, with some cloudiness. No amber triches yet. Low and slow for the remaining weeks. I might...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    I'm back up to date here, these are plants at 13 weeks old, six weeks into flower. Status remains relatively the same since last week's photos. The jewelers loupe I purchased finally arrived, so I can take a look at the trichs to see how they're progressing. They're still mostly clear but some...

    I'm a bit behind on tracking progress, been busy with family affairs. I did take photos last weekend however. These photos show the plants at 12 weeks old, five weeks into flowering. No change in growth, flowers continue to mature. The flowers are beginning to become heavy and are leaning into...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Plants are now 11 weeks old, and four weeks into flowering. They have mostly stopped growing vertically. They reached 40 inches tall from the soil. Most of the growth has been around the bud sites. They're showing white pistils everywhere, leaves are starting to become frosty, and there is now...

    Plants are now 10 weeks old, three weeks into their flowering cycle. We're back to regular winter weather here, and humidity is down a bit. Plant maintenance remains the same since last week. Vertical growth has slowed a bit, with the plants only adding about three inches each of height since...

    Plants are now nine weeks old, and are two weeks into 12/12 flowering cycle. The weather here has been quite warm for February, and temps within the grow closet have been in the mid 70s with humidity in the 40%-50% range. Watering schedule is still the same, as is nutrient schedule. The plants...

    And then there were two. The ladies now have all the space in the world to grow out sideways. I'd like to put up the net sometime this weekend, and I need to raise the light. I'm no watering every two days, a gallon per pot, with weekly grow + bloom nutrients.

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Plants are just about eight weeks old now, and I'm a week into flowering. I've been able to determine the gender of all six plants. And the verdict is... 4 males 2 females Not the greatest ratio, but that's the luck of the draw. Thankfully, this experience with regular seeds gave me a chance...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Plants are now seven weeks old. I made the decision to go ahead and switch to flowering early, rather than wait until February. They're already over 2ft tall, and the canopy is completely full. The plants are growing a few inches per week now, and I need to conserve vertical space for flowering...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    The plants are now six weeks old. The canopy has reached a height of 18" above the soil. Temps, watering, and nutrient schedule remain the same as before. Two of the plants on the left and right pots which I did not top are showing obvious preflowers, indicating sexual maturity. The three plants...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    I have made a few purchases since last week, buying a spray bottle for misting, and nice watering jug to make it easy to mix nutrients, and reduce spilling when I water. I am still watering twice a week, one of the times with 6-4-4 nutrients. I may increase this frequency as the plants get...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Plants are now five weeks old. It’s been a week since I topped and cloned the middle plants. The middle plants had a few days where they looked stressed, then their side shoots continued to grow quite tall and are now covering the canopy in the middle. They are now looking healthy. From my...

    Second grow, budget grow - from zero to 420

    Now that the plants are a month old, the time has come-topping day! Always a stressful time. I topped & cloned the three plants in the center growing pot. All three have strong stems, multiple side stems with new growth, and have begun to fill the canopy of their pot. They are being planted in...
