Hey ther OLDHIppie07.....first grow....not bad brotha. FYI ,though ....you've got a Mg. issue goin on there. Give those some Epsoms(1 tspn/gal.) next watering and for at least three more in a row. That cupping or canoeing of the fan leaves is a dead giveaway for it. You still have two or three weeks left so ,you have time. They will like the Mg. and should also improve the flavour as well. Cheers ,and have a great day!

Thanks, duggan. I really appreciate the help. I have been using CalMag, as I am growing in cocoa, but, maybe not enough? Is upping CalMag the same as correcting with Epsom salt? I will still pick some up this afternoon. Thank you again for the response.

Update
Day 48 and still looking fine! These buds are so solid and seem to be getting fatter every day. My plan is to flush and end the nutes on day 50. Just water and molasses thereafter. Harvest on day 60 if the trichs are a little amber. What if I have to go to day 70? I will go CRAZY! These will really be impressive if they have to go 22 more days till 70!!

These are the new born girls for my next grow! 6 days old. I will give them their own journal shortly.

OH7....Good you picked up some epsoms. Unfortunately i have no experience with Cocoa.I'm not sure how they'le react to Cal Mag in that.I do know that many growers here on the Mag use epsoms for Mg shortage. It works great and also has sulpher in it (MgSO4) i believe. Any how next time don't let the leaves get like that . Start giving them a little epsoms (1/2- 1tspn/gal.H2O) every other drink or so ....just enough to ward off any def. they may develope. Your plants will love you for it and will be alot healthier right up to chop. Anyhow OH7....have a great night eh.....Duggs.

Sooooo much fun!!! About 10 more days till the blaze. Well, OK, so I cheated and sparked a fatty yesterday. All I can say is HOLY CRAP!!!! I would have never thought that the best smoke I ever had would be something that I grew myself. And that is in 45 years of very dedicated smoking! WA HOOO!!

This is an amazing phenomenon in any kind of gardening.. Everything I grow tastes the best I've ever had. It has to do with all the love you give it. A little ounce of love goes a long way. Enjoy brother.

LOL! Sums up how we felt when we smoked our first doob off our first grow last year - we were like what is that stuff we have buying all these years?

Enjoy

FINAL UPDATE and this journal can be put to bed!

The details:
2 PLANTS
STRAIN: Train Wreck
MEDIUM: Cocoa Coir
LIGHTING: 400W MH for veg. 400HPS for bloom
NUTES: Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Level
FEEDING: Every other day till runoff at 1/2 the recommended amount of nutes
YEILD: 350 GRAMS OF SMOKABLES!!! PLUS A HUGE PILE OF KIEF!!
All I can say is that this has exceeded all my expectations. I didn't even know about the kief stuff till a week before I was harvesting. WOW!!

I want to thank all who took the time to answer my sometimes dumb questions. Without the support and encouragement and help that you all provided and the info on this great site I am sure the results would not have been so great. Thank you so much!!!

Now, on to the next grow!!

Ok, I am officially jealous over your sweet success.
As of now I can only dream of such a supply of meds as I have no intention of facing, at my age, what would be at least a 3rd degree felony with up to five years caged up and/or a fine up to $5K for a single plant.

kudos + rep
