OG Kush & White Widow, Organic Living Soil, 614W LED

Way to Valentine it up Nunya! And your plants look a wonderful green too! I haven't heard the term divers scallops. Though I've seen bags of scallops pulled from ice in what appeared to be burlap and be dry as can be at the dock. I assume you got your hands on some of that kind of freshness that when you smell them it smells like "get in my belly" even and especially raw. Great score and execution! Scallops were on the menu in my kitchen 40 years ago on valentines day when I popped the question. We ate em deep fried again yesterday. That's one taste that doesn't go stale!

Well, the plants did pretty well and definitely grew nicely in less than 24 hours.
HOWEVER, almost seems like because the plant on the far right grew so quickly that it broke its own top off.
I hadn't touched the plant for 20 hours, and the top just snapped almost completely off.
I duct taped it back on, kinda doubt its going to take but we'll see.
That totally sucks because that's going to screw my yield big time.
I seem to have bad luck trying to grow this particular cultivar(Super Critical Bud) and doubt that I am going to try it again.

That's a new one. Self decapitation sheesh. Hope it takes! How many nodes are in before the cut?

Two nodes, that totally screws up my usual LST though.
I always just keep tying down the top as it grows, every 1/2 inch is two new potential buds.

Time for a quadline style?

 

[Nunyabiz]

Damn this guy is good.

Time for a quadline style?

Yep, going to have to.
The top was just hanging on by a literal thread so I just took it off and stuck it in a glass of aloe vera water.
So I have 8 branches to work with and I need 4 buds per branch to get my 30.

Just that extra growth made that wrench snap the top right off.

Woof! He's like the result if Hendricks, Joe Cocker , and Clapton had a baby. I'd love to see him live!

Yep, my new favorite artist.

 

[Nunyabiz]

Grinding right along.
Will need to lay down the SCROG pretty soon.

Is there horsetail fern in the cover crop? Bottom pic in line with the soap dish looking device?

Nope, that's actually a Flax plant.
The mycorrhazae that colonize the roots on Flax help mobilize Phosphorus in the soil.

 

[Nunyabiz]

Still doing well.
Think this is about day 27 or so.
Bumping up light intensity to around 680 PPFD and still at 20/4.
Needing to water everyday now.
Just plain filtered tap water with a splash of Yucca Extract and Rootwise Elixir then oxygenated.
Snipping a few leaves here and there to open up lower branches so hopefully they'll grow up and out.
Thats largely why I upped the light intensity is to try to get at least 350 PPFD to those lower bud sites to see if i can coax them on out.
And the leaves are nice addition to our fur baby's food we make for her.

Looks like I have between 13 to 16 possible colas from each plant so far, will need at least 10 more from each plant, need to pack in about 75 buds to fill the 2x5 SCROG like French fries.

Wow not only a great performance of one of my favorite songs but rocking it on the acoustic with feeling! Thanks my friend.

Jay Howie- did I get the name right? Wow -that was great. Great voice. I’m surprised his guitar stays so nicely in tune whaling on it like that, mine sure doesn’t.

Yep, Jay Howie, and I think he is Australian.
I've heard tons of people from Hendricks to Clapton to Dylan play this song and to me he just did the best version.

White Widow in Rock n Roll mode!

 

[Nunyabiz]

Still humming right along.
That's the only thing about a journal for a Living Organic Soil grow, really not much to do but plant the seed, water and watch it grow.
Just keep your VPD on point, water just about everyday with a little Yucca Extract or Aloe Vera, the occasional sprouted seed tea and some Ferticell Algae couple times a month.
Nip & tuck a few leaves here and there.

Looks like I possibly have 61 bud sites so far and its just 30 days of veg.
I am thinking this SCROG is going to be full before my usual 8 week veg.

Got a nice even 700 PPFD across the whole canopy.

 

[Nunyabiz]

Day 34 or 35.
The light blasting did what I needed, its low and thick, tight nodes.
I noticed just a touch of light fading on a few leaves so 700 PPFD was a bit too much. Also they weren't so much praying but more like waving a white flag.
So, I am backing everything down.
Going to 18/6, raised the lights by a foot, the canopy is getting around 470 PPFD now.
Going to see if I can get a little stretch going now, try to pull out as many of those nodes as I can.
Really need to get 75 colas.

Just been mostly plain water, I do almost always add a wetting agent, some carbs for the microbes, so add Yucca Extract or Aloe Vera.
Watering mostly everyday.

Went ahead and did the deed, tossed a fence on top of them.
Always look like shit the first few days under the SCROG.
