BabyTrees First Grow!

Wait till at least day 21 of flower before you start removing leaves. One here and there won’t hurt too bad, but wait to do a big Defol till day 21 of flower.
I'm 30 days from 12/12, assuming a 10 day window after 12/12 is needed to adjust I can guess I'd be day 20ish? I'm feeding week 3 flower nutes
 
It takes about 5-7 days to transition into flower. I’d say you could probably defol :thumb:

Thanks, I went ahead and did a mild defoliation I definitely could of removed more but it's my first grow so I'm not being super cut-happy
If I didn't see a reason to cut it. It didnt get cut

Ayo 420 fam it's been a bit
So I finally got some new soil yesterday before work
I ended up picking up like 6 cubic foot of fox farm Ocean forest I did NOT want to use this soil again without some sort of normal potting soil so it wouldn't be as hot. The place I went didn't have anything but extremely over priced happy frog so I decided against it and I'm just going to hope that my clones will have no issue in Ocean forest with the established roots they have I'll be transplanting after work in a few hours and I'll get y'all some update pics, you're gonna be real surprised at the growth on some of these clones!
The one that will be moved into my tent after I harvest is looking FANTASTIC,
I've started it in a 3 gal filled with about 1-1.5G worth of soil so I can transplant next into a 5G my 5Gal which is a little shorter but a lot wider.
 
Ooh got home and checked out the big girl, her top koalas started stacking up and looking good! Can't wait to see all of her nugs start to fill in!
Here's a couple of bud shots, and a canopy shot sorry it's not better lighting I tried to screen shot the top Koala after I zoomed in a little for a hopefully better view for y'all.

And here are my clones, I've got one of them that's already about 10 inches. That thing grew so damn fast!
I have 11 clones total.
One will go in my tent
2 or three will go in the 1000w tent,
And the rest will be moved into the new grow area!

All the solo cups are cubes that lived. I had one grow cube one die out of four,
And I had one cutting that went into soil die. Quite good odds. I took off the humidity dome one night from the clones and two of them had some curled leaves in the morning they didn't like the change so I tossed that back on.

Yep if those clones aren’t ready they’ll start drooping after an hour or so. Hopefully they pull through!

the flowering lady looks great man! :thumb:
Thanks! Hopefully she keeps chunking up.

Yeah luckily the two clones with curling leaves are both Blue Mystic and not the Northern lights since we only have two of those clones right now
 
Not much change on the mystic that I can see not really chunking up, think my tops are too clustered or my lights not good enough.
Was playing with the larger of the clones today, and had the intentions of tying it down, bent it too far and I think I super cropped it, just bent at a 90, no break in the stem just fully bent over.
Here are some bud shots, the genetics of the blue mystic it says are unknown but they're believed to be blueberry x Northern Lights, I get a citrus smell when I move nugs around. This isn't a very strong smelling strain, this is day 49 of 12/12

Going back I was looking at the pictures from like two weeks ago over the growth and Wow has she changed a lot. It's hard to see the changes day by day but when ya get see pictures it really puts it into perspective!
She seems great it's definitely a little stealthy plant she doesn't put off a super funky potent scent it's like a really citrusy scent if you move her around or smell your fingers after tucking a leaf.
Hoping in the next 2-3 weeks or so she will be finishing up and we'll see how she turns out.
I'm super happy to have gotten to this point, can't wait for some results.
 
Hope everyone in the 420fam is doing well,
I haven't heard from anyone in a while I hope you're all staying safe wherever you're at!

I'll be watering the plant tomorrow it's a water day (no nutes today),

I had the misconception when I started that the plant was gonna bud up from the lowest bud site and basically form one large koala on each branch, after watching some videos and talking to my buddy it gave me even more of an appreciation to how my plants looking, I thought I did something wrong because only the top few inches of the branch connected i'm glad I realized that because I was a little disappointed for a bit.
Now I am extremely excited for the weeks to come I can't wait to finish the plant out I'll be checking trichomes this week, but I'd like to go another 2-3 weeks before harvest.

I'll get y'all a good picture sometime this weekend when I get a chance so we can see the growth I can see one nug I got my eye on that's definitely getting a chunkier!

The majority of the clones are looking great, I had one that I noticed a like moldy looking piece of perlite, I broke it open and there was a few little wormies, I went ahead and tossed the clone out because I didn't want to deal with the rest of my plants having a chance to get whatever pest it was gonna grow into.

Take care everyone! I'll drop you that update picture soon!
 
I know these are blurry but you're able to see some trichomes and get an idea, these pics show sort of the stages of progression in trichomes, they start clear, go cloudy and end up amber (if you let it run that long) I think 2 weeks is what I'm shooting for currently, I still have some nugs with some cloudy/clear trichomes, and only like 1-2 I looked at had amber,
If anyone has a better picture to show the states of progression for those wondering/needing to know please feel free to drop it in,
This is my first time getting a good look at trichomes as well

thats a great light at a great price!
went ahead and ordered it , it's coming in Friday hoping it's gonna promote some quick growth on these next grows, I watched a few videos on the light and one guy pulled 6 ounces in a 2x2 using only this TS1000!! so I'm excited to see what i'll be able to pull as I get better growing! seems like a light I'll be able to grow into, I was learning about DLI/PPFD and I feel good about this purchase. at the peak of 1300 PPFD for 18 hours in veg it's 84 DLI, Flower 12 hours should be 58 DLI at its peak this sounded pretty impressive because in the video he stated the sun is about 60 DLI.
