Good evening everyone!!! Happy weekend for those of you grinding through the week or who have those in their families that do and this is your time with them or eho are just finally getting some time for yourself!

Successfully moved G-13 Pheno to her second home. She will be moved to a 5 gl and then eventually an 8. I hate that Ammy was not put in an 8 gl and I refuse to do that to another Pheno!

I have it in a way that I think all are good in the tent for at least a couple weeks. Idk why I thought I could just move someone in w Ammy when she is on a 12. Duuuhhhh...don't want to stress Ammy and have her just sit out of her tent in the laundry room although she may like it there overnight, she smells and will smell up my house.

A new tent may be in order. A sleeping tent for my phenos-especially since I would very much like to germ and drop my Gorilla Glue Lemon fem seed

Blue #1 Rd 2 is continually looking better as I check on her this evening and Blue #2 Rd 2 is picking up pace yet again.

Check in w everyone later, thanks for coming by! Good luck with all of your current grows and future planning!!

Well transplants have successfully made it through the night! Blue is still not fanning up all the way and her coty leaves are yellow and gonna fall off soon but she seems relatively happy with the move and just needs more of an adjustment time than her once runted sister, Bubblegum.

I moved the lights around a little bit to direct more light towards the back of the tent now that I had to shuffle all of the 6 around in their 3 gallons. May have to add something in there...luckily my non better better half (lol) is an electrician and will build me whatever components I need.

My 3 week olds seemed to have had a slight uneven watering around the sides of the pots so I remedied that. Nothing else to touch upon right now...

Saluti tutti!

G-13 Focus:

Did you know???

-This strain is otherwise known as, Government Indica Strain #1.

-It is said to be a strain you should try at least once in your life

-Center of many government mind control stories dating back to the late 60s

-Legend has it the lab tech that eventually leaked this incredibly powerful strain into the mainstream smoking world was named Neville Schoenmaker. He is said to have persuaded a rebel scientist to sneak out a cutting of this high-yielding and easy to grow super strain sometime in the 1980s

-G-13 loves to eat! You don't want to skimp her on nutrients, give this plant a little extra something something each feed

Hope at least one person has gained a new wrinkle in their brain now (another urban legend is that you gain a wrinkle in your brain every time you learn something new-hogwash clearly but fun to say).

Here's G today, the lone pheno in a tent full of autos. I'm thinking of letting her veg as long as I can and then having her be the one that moves into a tent with Ammy during her final days. No need to worry about the logistics of that move right now though.

Salute.

Nice job. Happy girls.
You have an electrician at home? Sei fortunata.

I did know that. I am trimming two right now. Very sticky.
Yes, they eat a lot and take their time finishing.

Si e molto bellissimo!! Lmao thank you. Girls do it all on their own mostly

Autos.....what can I say...wish I could find my damn measuring tape so I could see how much they have grown in 12 hours stoner problems I guess...

Keep on chugging along my teeny tiny wonders, you will be big like your sisters in no time

It's family day tomorrow so you may or may not see me on here during the day. I'll come by to scroll, troll and post after bedtime for my #1, one and only baby boy in my life amongst a garden of green sisters.

Short blurb today. Older girls started to tell me this morning that they would like big girl doses of nutrients-leaves were just starting to have a little light green shading, usually just means go bigger on GB when I see that, so I just went ahead and moved them up on the dosage chart a little with Grow Big. Going to fert them w Happy Frog at the end of the week and begin implementing that to their feed schedule once a month.

Blueberry seems a tad stunted but when I've had that happen in the past after a transfer, they shoot up in a week and catch up.. 3+ weeks are growing in leaps and bounds...I'm buying a new tape measure today. Get yall some growth readings started and charted.

Happy Sunday Growing!

Mini Strain Review:
Blue Cheese Rd 1

A glimpse into the future...now 1 month cured Blue Cheese buds:

Smell/Taste: Smeeeeeellllllyyyyyyyy!!! Blue Cheese, Berry, Pungent, Clove

Effects: The mellowing munchies kind of high; De-Stresser, calming. Good for a night cap

Perfect dry. 4 days. Wet Trimmed and left on stem for 48 hours. Then cut off buds from stems and let dry in 6 tier mesh canopy (very well spread out) with a fan 2 tiers below the buds for the remaining 2 days. Sitting at 62/63% in mason jars.

Enjoy your night. No update needed on the young children this evening! Check in tomorrow!

Morning all!

Had to raise the lights again in the veg tent this morning. As I mentioned two nights ago, new growth was coming in shaded light green, so I gave them a little bit of nute water. It wasn't quite feeding or watering time for them and I didn't want to drown them. On their next feed, they will get a full dose of nutes and I am pretty sure that most of the discoloration will amend itself within the next several days.

No signs of issues with them this morning other than the light discoloration-I have to keep in mind that these autos will be entering week 4 and they are also starting to get ready to flower, so my main concerns with color lie solely on my G-13 since she is my pheno. PH was good, around 6.75-I like to keep it between 6 and 7 during veg so it is bordering a little high for what I like. Moisture levels were on point for all 4.



Monitor and take mental notes for now as well as accept any insight from you fine friends. Enjoy your Monday and I'll check in later! Best of luck today with seeding, cloning, growing, harvesting, curing, smoking, rolling and packing!

Well after troubleshooting some issues that have been arising the last several days, I figured it out...

These girls need fresh oxygen!!!
They're sitting in a CO2 tent basically unless I open the tent and get some air in. This is causing me a bunch of issues now.

I have been running this veg tent waiting on an in line blower and duct system that has yet to come...that's what I get from not ordering from Amazon....smh...had to go on and cancel my pending order and then go on my Amazon account and get a Prime 2 day delivery for another system.

I have seen some wilting and discolored leaves, girls are not accepting the nutrients they are getting because photosynthesis can't happen without the O2 component!! They will stifle, droop, rot, etc etc..
This morning I had to take some clippers to a few of AK and BC #1 Rd 2's fan leaves and some wilted heavily discolored leaves under neath under AK.

Releasing CO2 which can't escape results in a bunch of excess humidity. That along with no continual fresh circulation of air, is a recipe for DISASTER! They can't absorb nutrients which gives them problem after problem; they will be more susceptible to root rot and mold; soil stays too damp and then they can't breathe because they never get a dry enough dry period. They will DIE!

I could keep giving them all the nutrients in the world but they wouldn't be able to break them down.

I would still be swimming in a sea of nutrient deficiencies and then a sea of over watering, if I didn't act on this immediately.

Nothing can happen here other than kill my plants if I don't keep this zipper open and my AC on until the ventilation system gets here.


Until the system comes Thursday, I will have to keep the tent open and I will have to turn the AC on during the day (which I obviously already did).

NJ though, cool at nights now and the grow room is an addition we made that didn't get added onto the central air system. I have no AC in that room other than a standing unit (amazing AC actually) so I've been having to run that as summer progressed.

To boot, it has radiant heat, so at night now, I've had to keep it set to 65 for the tents. Now that fall is coming, nights are cooler here, I may have to adjust that room temperature tonight to 70 just so I don't shock my already in need of cares.

I know that some people look at the plants and think eh, they aren't that bad but man I see it on the horizon. I said it before (and you can continue to think I'm nuts) but I feel them and they were asking me for help and I overlooked the obvious.....What a shitty mom

HOW DID I OVERLOOK THIS:

First time around, they were under a table not in the tent!! All conditions were the same besides that! When I realized the fault in my ways and growers blindness, I kicked myself! What a dumb ass! I'm over here thinking what in the hell did I do different this time and it was so glaringly obvious, I ran over to the tent, opened that zipper wide, apologized to them and turned on the AC for the day.

You know, you could look at the same thing 100x and 100x see if differently. Always have your eyes open, literally and figuratively.

Not a setback, just another learning experience!!!!!!!

HAPPY GROWING EVERYONE we may not be perfect all the time but we can always try to perfect our imperfections.

I’ve actually seen it rain acid rain from the humidity and mess my reservoir up. I’m not running 1500 ppm this round . Cut it in half and no sweat but I have a much bigger space not a 5’x5’ tent . The entrance door is vented . I but a box fan outside the door that comes on every two hours for 15 minutes to pull in some fresh air .

I actually think that's what has been happening the last couple of days. Makes perfect sense, thank you for enlightening me with the similarities of past humidity issues you have had!!

The simplicity of the concept in itself, has been driving me mad the last 12 hours or so. Could barely sleep. I take these dumb overlooks so personally, knowing that I should have known better. Is what it is. Glad I caught it and glad that you gave me the idea of the box fan...have one sitting in that room I use for drying and a timer that I'm not using right now. Going to set that up in the interim.

You're my fave West

If you need a quick fix, the duct booster fans from Home depot work really well and are really cheap ( around $ 35).
I use them in my tents if I don't need to use a carbon filter ( they will not pull air through one of those).
They are also good at supplementing inline fan if you have long duct work.
They work well for air intake too.
They come in 4, 6, 8".
It's just good having one around

Absolutely a good idea to have around just in case!! Thanks girl, I appreciate that info!! They seem to be responding well right now to the new "ventilation" lol also moved things around a bit temporarily. At least I have something to looks forward to on Amazon delivering other than baby wipes lol

 

[Krissi Carbone]

Moved G-13 in with Ammy during the day to free up some space for the autos and give everyone a better chance to recover. Already perking up since opening that tent up. Give them some time and monitor and see where we go from there Thursday when my in line and ductwork come in.

Girls are currently:

AK and BC 1 @ 3 weeks 5 days
BC 2 and G-13 (pheno) @ 3 weeks 2 days
BBL and Bberry @ 2 weeks 3 days

@West Hippie I think you were right on that acid humidity rain...check out the black spot on the right bottom of the tent (2nd pic)...thank God nothing was over there

 

[Krissi Carbone]

Added a big fan and shuffled around the girls and light fixtures...

Think I'm actually done trying to make them happier for the day. I certainly try my best to accommodate them

 

[Krissi Carbone]

Of course I wasn't done...I'm a mom...got them a new oscillating fan and a 75 W additional grow bulb. Also trimmed them up where I had a lot of new growth under some additional ill-looking fan leaves.

Their color has ALREADY began bouncing back.

Can't wait for my exhaust, duct system and carbon filter

OK. Really done with these ones for the night...
