HonestGR's First Indoor Soil Grow 2018

[HonestGR]

Week 1 of flower is almost here. I sprayed earlier for thrips, but appearently I did not get everything. I still have some.

In 1 hr, the lights/fans will be off 30min early to spray some Dr Doom.

Gotta get rid of them before the buds are here!

I hear Dr Doom is a decent fogger but I was looking at trying to get lady bugs with no success. Any other recommendations?

Lady Bugs - 0 Availability without costing a fortune. (Plus extreamly cold for mailing, no local stores that carry them.)

Bedbugs- I have read these are great predators, but I dont want to risk getting then in my bed.

Dr Doom- Have been told it works. I just need to take the plundge. It has pyth. In it that breaks down somewhat quickly (I wish it lasted a few days so I could eliminate the eggs.


Lets giver a go!

But they look pretty!

Doing my final defoilation. The bushy one, i will need to additional lollipoping tomrrow. I am spraying one branch with colloidal silver to collect pollen. (Small unimportant branch)

But heres 3 hrs of work.

Also, I have been taking a picture a day of growth. So I will upload that too! Lots of changes with fans. So it is jenkie.

Edit: Appearently the gif is too large. I will see about uploading another way.

First picture of the ladies all in the same picture.... Now where did I put my glasses?! My "Bend over" test (no topping). front right. The rest are manifolded nicely.... my rear right looks to be winning the bud growing contest right now!

All in all I have 50-60 dominate cola's . This will become less as the plants finish their stretching. Start of week 4 flowering was the 27th.

Thank you!

You’re very welcome

Had to rotate the plants! Heres a new picture.

I am 2-4 weeks out from cutting. Week 6 starts today, however I am unsure if this is an 8 week or 10 week strain. Very few of the hairs are starting to turn brown, so my guess is 10 weeks. But only tricomes will tell me when it is ready!

From the looks, still a while to go, as they are definitely not ready to harvest yet!

Curious what your thoughts are...

How many say 8 weeks, how many say 10?

Ill say my guess is 10

 

[HonestGR]

So this is a 10 week plant. Going onto week 7 all hairs are extremely white, with the tips of one turning brown. Tricomes are still developing. Oh well, they should be some nice buds.

Including a few red light pics for your enjoyment!

 

[HonestGR]

One plant i just measured is 28" high from the dirt to tip top. 26" Across and 27 colas on that one.

 

[HonestGR]

So start of week 7, the only Issue I have now is a few leaves touching the tent. Trimming or tucking these so they do not touch and cause wpm.

A few hairs are brown, not many. The majority is white. Also took a small bud off the base of the plant to see how things were developing, so the zoomed pic is from that.

Next step is looking at tricomes for my 10-20% amber , flush and harvest...

Soon my prettys, soon.

I will be posting wet/cured weight off of each plant. To find out what plant yields the most..... take your guesses .

3 are manifolded, 1 is just bent over.

Some have slightly different training techniques than others. (Just varies based upon training at the time, including room. But all follow same guidlines).

Starting up the next few.... as by the time they pop these will be long gone.

Took two cuttings of BH and have two clones going. Also will have 2x Pineapple Express Autos starting now.

Heres to the remainder of the grow !

Next post will be yield, final pictures.

 

[HonestGR]

So I stand corrected. Here are a few pictures while I wait for my plants to mature.....

 

[HonestGR]

So the time has come for the ladies...

Take a guess on weight if you want
I am guessing 15oz myself dry and cured.

I figure the 3 larger plants 4oz each
My gimpy little one (mother of clones) will be 3 oz.

I will update with the final weight!

 

[HonestGR]

Quick update,

They have been flushed, cut and hung in the grow tent with care, In hopes I will see you there..... (for trimming )

Always a sad time when they must be cut, love how they look like tumble "weeds".

Next update will consist of full mason jars, and a final post of yield.

Next grow has been started!
