Hey People,

I have had a new grow going for a little while but as I have added some strains and thought I would document it.

I had some troubles and the guys here helped me with some of the older Choc Mint OGs. Since then I have added Atomic Jelly freebies, Sherburst (smokey genetics) Purple Punch and Runtz Muffin to the mix hoping to get a mother to clone from.

They are at different stages as I had to change my plans half way through but I'm looking to have 12 in a 4x8 tent.

What I'm growing with ATM is:
1 4x8 tent.
2x 660pro Maxibright lights.
8 inch AC infinity exhaust.
6inch ac infinity incline fan.
Ecothrive living soil with pots going from 1 liter air pots > 3 liter air pots > 12 liter fabric pots.
I have a AC humidifier set at 60 (unfortunately using tap water)
One oil filled heater.

I Have another tent for veg for when I've cloned which is 4x4 and has a telos 300w LED light.

At the moment it's a rocky start but I'm hoping to save it and come out with something nice for the year!

I will document each of the strains more clearly but will add some pictures now.

The 3 big plants are Choc Mint OG 2.0
2 of the plants in the 3 liters are Atomic Jelly and the other 2 are Sherburst.

The rest of the seeds are purple punch,Choc mint OG and Runtz muffin.

Orange band is runtz, purple band is purple punch, no band is Choc mint OG, green is Sherburst and blue is Atomic Jelly.

They are looking a little stressed and I've noticed some yellowing. The 3 big plants were in 3 liter for a little too long as my soil delivery took ages (note to self, order everything way in advance)

I've struggled with cold temps and got a heater in but it made the humidity go way down.

I'm also using the 660 light on 50% as seedlings are there but I think it was too much for a couple As they have yellowing. I'm hoping they recover!

Any questions or suggestions feel free to ask

Situation today..

Yellowing growth not looking happy but hoping to change that.

Watered the plants as follows.

1 litre pots = 100ml each at 6.3 Ph. 25C leaf temp and 10,000 lux.

3 litre pots = 300ml each. 6.3 ph Added alga mic at 2ml per litre. 23C leaf temp at 13,000 lux.

12 litre pots = 500ml at 6.3pj with alga mic and Acti Vera at 2ml per litre. 22C leaf temp and 15,000 Lux.

I thought the watering would make the leaves look nice but the only one looking like she is having a good time is the Sherburst in the last pic!

Hoping it picks up.

Looking abit better today.

Yesterday they had a nice watering.

I have read that soil needs a good soak so I was aiming for 20% of the pot capacity. On the light side as i read between 20 and 35% is what's needed.

Seedlings: 200ml each at 6.3 ph and Acti-Vera, Rootjuice at 3ml per litre. Getting 14,000 LUX and leaf temp at 26.6C

3 litre pots: 500ml at 6.3 ph. With fish mix 2ml, Alga-Mic, 4ml and Acti-Vera 4ml. LUX AT 16,000 and Leaf temp at 25C.

Big pots: 2 liters each at 6.3 Ph. Fishmix at 3ml, Acti Vera at 4ml and Alga Mic at 4ml. 24 C leaf temp.

Things are looking better but I'm aiming for a RO filter as the residue from the humidifier is looking pretty gross and can't imagine what the ladies things of it!

Will pot up probably after the next watering for seedlings into 3 litre and 3 litre into 12 litre fabric pots.

Watering schedule same as last time.

I have decided to cull the Atomic Jelly as they were half the size and did not have good structure compared to the sherburst. Transplanted the sherburst and noticed Incredible root growth which made me confident in the decision.

Sherburst are now in 12 litre pots and the seedlings have been transplanted in 3 litre Air Pots.

I have chosen the healthiest looking and kept two of each. So 2 purple punch, 2 runtz muffin and 2 more choc mint OG 2.0.

The older Choc Mint OG have purple pre flowers showing and are looking happier.

Have ordered a RO filter so hopefully that comes soon.

Very excited, I can't stop staring at them!

Today I watered and tended to the Sherburst babies. They have been topped and fed well with some lower branches taken off also (feel bad I must admit) pics are below of the new node structure and I'm looking for 4 main tops on these or at least 2.

The older Choc Mint OGs 2.0 are looking nice with two having purple pre flowers. I have to admit im sightly worried as I have read alot of hermie reports of the choc mint and as much as 50% of batches being hermies but I am not sure If they corrected this with the 2.0 version. Maybe somebody can chime in on that?

The one I like the look of is the one with 5 main branches on the right of the family shot but it does not have purple pre flowers but I like the structure and how it handles itself.

I am pushing over the tops to allow for other bud sites to grow which is why some are leaning over at the moment.

Overall happy with how they are developing and will look to see how the Sherburst handle topping as I'm looking to clone both for a potential mother later.

OK. Things are not incredible but they can be salvaged (I hope)

Situation is that the Older Choc mint OGSs look stressed. I have asked for advice and some have said too much light others too little water and some other factors.

To address what was said, I have turned down the lights to 50% and put them all on 18 hours a day from 24.

The older plants 3 choc mint and 2 sherburst have been given 2 liters of water each with a healthy dose of fish mix, seaweed and enzymes, cal mag and phd water. This was yesterday and they feel heavy still but do not look happy as you can see in the pictures.

I have 1 purple punch, 2 Runtz muffin and 1 choc mint OG 2.0 in the mix which are the younger plants in larger pots. Soil is reused soil mixed with coco (all I had available). These got a watering today of 1 liter of feed of seaweed, fixmi, enzymes and a touch of cal mag.

I have the heater on but it's till around 22C in there. I have also got the humidifier in there again. I have bought a Growmax RO filter but the bloody thing is giving me 300pm water but I'm using it in the hope it won't have the same effect as the mineral water and cause white shit to stick everywhere.. again I'm hoping

RIP BIG GIRL I apologise for the pain I put you through..

OK being dramatic but I had to take the most stressed Choc mint out. I have looked on the forum and there are so many reports of them going hermie that I'm not going to flower anything very sick.

The others got their first touch of darkness and when I opened the tent in the morning all looked very happy. Not sure if this was the watering form the other day or from dark but was good to see them perk up.

I just noticed after the lights went off that the humidifier had a light on it so I switched it off quickly for the night cycle. When opening humidity was 35% probably due to the heater.

Today I gave them a seaweed foliar feed and got some risers to have the girls off the floor as suggested by a gent on here.

Contemplating taking clones and starting in coco so there is less guess work of when to water. I want clones of the sherburst for sure and the choc mint if I can get them healthier to clone from.

I have a few other young plants but the healthiest is the Runtz muffin which I've added a pic of at the end. I'd like a clone of this also if I can keep her healthy.

Oddly enough, when lifting the pots the sherburst pots are significantly lighter than the choc mints. I'm not sure if there is an issue with something at the roots but it's making me second guess when to water.

Today I watered the two big choc mint OGs and got run off so they are pretty full. It was 2.5 liters each with a full dose of seaweed and fishmix, a touch a cal mag and cannazyme.

The smaller plants got the same dose as they were in bigger pots and are in a soil/coco mix (70/30). They also got a little bit of run off but I'm expecting them to dry out quicker due to the mix.

The two Sherburst were not watered enough though they are a little lighter they do not look like they need food as much. I will wait until they dry out a little more tomorrow and give them a full soaking again with the same solution as the others got.

The sherburst on the left is looking like she loves life which is why I'm not watering them today.

Girls are lookong alot happier today after a nice watering until run off. Watered the Sherburst as they were very light. They got 2.5 liters with fix mix and seaweed and cannazyme. I think they will be very happy tomorrow.

I am only using 1 light now due to the expense of electricity so they are abit more bunched up. I will put them in flower maybe next week I think just to give the runtz more time to grow.
