Renaissance Man's First Official Grow: Blueberry OG, Gorilla Zkittles & Cream Caramel In Soil

Flower day 10
Water/Feed day

So for some reason, the plants went about 6 days before a water/feed. Maybe the cooler temps are slowing down the soil dry out? Either way, there was no issue. They looked thirsty this morning, especially GZ and BB.

CC still looked pretty good but I gave her a good water/feed anyways. I started to remove some fan leaves on her but I'm trying to wait about 10 more days to give them all a good defol. Some say do it twice in flower, once in the beginning of flip and once about 3 weeks in. Others defol throughout. I'm going with the former. It just seems that BB is really dense inside and probably covering up a lot of bud sites.

Here are the girls after a fresh water/feed this morning. Oh and I fed GZ and BB the regular 1.8g / 1.5L (4g/gal equivalent) and for CC, I fed her 2.0g/ 1.5L (4.5g/gal equivalent)

Oh and one more thing, I've rotated the plants again so now BB is under the P1000, CC is under the P600 and GZ is in the middle

C3 (PO) and GZ3 (I'm trying to go Bonsai with them and train them early. I think they are too far from the light and probably would do better under 18hr light rather than 12h, but oh well, it's just an experiment.

You would be shook if you saw my water regime. Mimmy drinks 8L per day most days. 4L for breakfast 4L for dinner. On an overcast day she is at 6L. And I usually hit em with the hose when I’m watering my garden.

I am DYING to defol, but I looked back through my notes and I usually defol at day 30 post flip. Well I say usually, I did that for my last 3 plants. Just remember the leaves are their mouths. It’s how they drink the sunshine from your light in to grow. It took me a few grows, a few ? I say this like a seasoned grower when this is my 4th grow lolllll. It took me two grows to understand this.

I think they look great :)

I'm beginning to see that proper lighting is everything. I have a fairly good light, I think, but if I up my game, I'll probably have better bud. Oh well.. let's see how this finishes out.

I have very cheap Mars Hydro lights, and an Australian sun. That mix works for me.

I will say while my sun usually gives me great veg plants, I don’t get the chunky buds you guys get at the end of flower. I think this is the first time you’ve seen me go into flower aye? You watch. I don’t produce anything like the master growers in here.
 
Flower day 12
2 days since water feed

The plants look good today and buds are forming nicely. It appears I'm having a nitrogen issue on BB. It's only on one part in the middle. It seems like there is not enough light to get to that spot but that would lead to yellow leaves right? Maybe I need to back down my nutes next feeding?

The little girls have also started to "see the light" and are turning upwards.

GZ still looks good but really spaced out nodes. I'm hoping the buds can reach each other.

CC looks the best of all of them

BB has the fattest bud sites

Omg they look great!

Your buds defs look prettier than mine. I’m battling nits. They are sooooo annoying. I will get pics today.

You will see I can do Veg okay, but I always fall at flower. I never produce Coca-Cola’s like the master growers here.

Thanks! It's definitely exciting but concerned about making it to the end. I feel like anything can happen at any time that will destroy the crop..
 
Flower day 16
3 days since water/feed

So we're back home and everything was fine in the tent for the 2 days I was gone. I am a little concerned with the yellowing leaves on the lower growth of CC. This one is in a plastic pot. It does not appear to be overwatered. Could it be underfed? I'm at 4.5g/gal equivalent with this plant. Thoughts?

BB looks good and healthy. This one looks like it may have bushier colas. I tried that backbuilding technique on the back buds but I only gave them a flattop of about 2 or 3 mm. Not sure if it was enough to make a difference. Just going to leave the rest and not mess with them anymore.

GZ looks good and still praying to the lights 3 days after a water.
20211223_151426.jpg

Lastly, C3 (PO) on the left and GZ3 look good but they are not getting enough light to do anything. They are turning up slowly but not sure what to expect. Just trying to keep them alive until the next grow when this one ends. Another 2 months maybe. It could be good that they grow at this pace actually.

That's all for now. Have a great Christmas Eve Eve everyone!

I have heard this alot all around the internet and from people. Honestly do you know 100% if it's not true?. And it would make perfect since. They give u the seeds that are old or don't pass the quality check as "free seeds". Seed banks also never guarantee the free seeds. Wonder why that is. What better way to get rid of them then give them to customers as "free seeds". It's a marketing gimmick. And a good one. I'm not saying it's Bad thing by any means. I think it's awesome that they do it. And I have nice plants out of the free seeds also . But that doesn't mean it wasn't old or didn't pass the quality check. It means I got a good freebe

Ps. Not trying to argue just trying to learn. Maybe you do know 100% that it's not true. I have not heard this from a seed bank so Im not saying it's 100% true bc it is in fact hearsay on my end. I'm just saying I personally believe it and it's the only way "free seeds" makes sense to me.

Thats what I was thinking too. I'm going to try that when I water tomorrow.

It's a good point. This was what they said when I asked what breeder the free seed came from and this was the response:
Good morning! Those girls look great! If additional breeder packs failed to germinate, certainly take a look at submitting the form to email! The cream caramel was a bulk freebie outside of breeder packaging, but my best educated guess would be sweet seeds!
