First Time Grower - I really needed a hobby!

[PhantomSulker]

Well it is almost time to put this journal to rest. The two remaining clones from my friend Killer Bill has come almost to a end. The stress that these plants went through may be the most brutal story ever. They were exposed to minus nineteen degree temps for a few seconds, they were a week or two in flower when cut, so as clones they had to root, revert back to veg and then on top of that I practiced training on them and bent turned and twisted them. I did not get pictures, I had fell asleep and did not plug phone in. I will weight them up once trimmed.

No photo updates, but they are doing well. I wish I would have transplanted the two clones to a bigger pot before flower. I said I felt like they were going to be packed, and the roots are solid to the top in the pot but seem to be growing great.

The two remaining clones are doing quite well, they are getting really stinky along with the other 3 girls.I found these cool pot caddies at Walmart they were $2.96 each they work great to position the girls and turn them easily in the tent.

Weighted up everything and jarred it all up.

First grow dry weight - 2.404 oz
Clone 1 Dry weight - .28 oz
Clone 2 Dry weight - .13 oz

Total 2.78 oz

Along with the 2+ oz I had already harvested 2 weeks ago the plant yielded a decent harvest I think.

The other 2 clones are budding greatly and all got a feeding last night and good PH runnoff on all the girls.

The two remaining clones are getting nice buds all over. Nothing too exciting right now going on in the flower tent.

Congrats on the harvest phantom! Buds look great!

After trimming up the 2 small clones, I got to the remaining 1st grow plant. This plant was planted as seed on 12/16/18 and spent 5 weeks in veg and been 17 weeks in flower. About 8 oz wet total including stems. I already took 3.8oz off this plant wet and it was almost dry at 1.76 oz before I started smoking it.

So for my 1st grow that is now over. I will finish tracking the 2 clones that are remaining and then my 1st grow journal will be done.

I did rearrange the girls, I moved the 3 photo's I have (2xStrawberry Banana and 1xGelato) into the flower tent and lowered the light. I moved the 2 Jack Herer Autos' to the veg room, which is on 12/12 now as well.

I can't begin to thank everyone in the GWE community for their help and assistance as needed. This has been a really fun learning experience and I hope to return the knowledge as I gain more.

Well last night ended up being harvest night, I am getting low and ready to get on to just growing autos for a while. So I harvested the 2 small clones that were just one stalk and here is what I ended up with.

Trimmed wet weight of the one clone - .76oz
Trimmed wet weight of the bigger clone - 1.04oz

not bad for 2 plants that should not have even lived through what they went through.

Just a quick weekend update on the girls, the one first grow plant is still making new bud. The two small clones also are making new bud all over. I am just going to be giving them water next two feedings. They will likely be harvested either way by the end of the week I will have to harvest them. The two bigger clones in back have stared developing flowers now.

[PhantomSulker]

I continue to state that the smoke off the 2nd plant is much better than 1st still everything is looking clear/milky and lots of new growth on the buds, so I decided after 2 plain water feedings I would give her 1/2 strength MaxiBloom, full KoolBloom and Molasses. I weighted the jar that was .97 oz at lunch it was .891 now. Humidity in jar was 66% I aired out the bud and put back in will check again when I get home. I hope I get some cured before it's gone. I snapped a few pictures of her main colas last night while she was out of the tent.

The other two clones hanging in front are looking great just going to be one cola each. The one on the right has a lemon/sweet smell and is much more gold/yellow than the one next to it. These were from seeds and the guy that had them had 4 plants that 3 were Mandarin Cookies and the other he thinks might have been a lemon haze but he did not recall. The other two big clones in back could be either strain, will know when buds really start forming. They all got fed regular feeding last night. I need to make sure next feeding they just get PH'd water they have gotten full feeding every time. The one clone in the back right has some slight signs of nute burn, but just a bit, so water is a definite next time.

[PhantomSulker]

Wow, the bud off the 2nd plant was way better than the first! It still is a bit wet, but in my Hippie Rebel Vaporizer it was a better high than the first plant. It is interesting that the buds on this 15 Week Flowing plant is now with the remaining 1/2 of the plant it is growing new white hairs and buds. I am wondering if removing so much of it now it is sending more energy to the reaming buds and all the new tricomes are clear so I was mostly milky before, now all the new bud is clear. Oh well I have about a OZ left hopefully something will finish.

The two small 1 gal clone pots are also just building bud and they are totally clear all tri's. I'd really like to chop these two little ones, I could start some more Auto's when they finish!

The two huge clones in the back are getting huge and they are staring to show signs of flowers I can't believe how big they are getting.

Other than that right now it's just a waiting game.

It has been really relaxing having a supply for once and not have to figure out how to balance out what I have till next time I can get some. I look forward to the day when I have a selection of strains to choose from depending on my mood.

Last night everyone needed a feeding except for the girls in the veg tent that was a lot of mixing and PH balancing I think I mixed up about 6 2 gallon watering cans.

The plant from my first grow is still making new buds on buds and new white hairs growing like crazy, 2nd feeding now just plain 7.0 PH water. I checked the buds I took off this plant and the stems finally are snapping and I trimmed it up and weighed it. I had one jar with .97 oz and one with .75 oz and there is more bud on the plant still than what I harvested. So I estimate that I may get over 4oz off her total? Guess we will see. The tricomes on the parts that are established are mostly milky and all the new growth is clear.

The two small clones in the 1 gal pots hanging in front are also still building buds like crazy and all tricomes are still clear on both.

The two giant clones in the back are growing like crazy, they are looking good just fed them all and watch them grow.

What a busy weekend, I got home around 3:30pm on Saturday and non-stop 4/20 activity I finished everything around 2am, I made 125 Coconut Oil capsules out of 1oz of trim from 1st grow harvest. I made 2 boxes of cookies from the Cana Butter I made from trim from first plant. I still have 1/2 or more of that plant growing and it still is making new bud everything is clear to milky still. The drying bud in my closet is nearly dry and about ready to jar for cure. I am down to smoking the main cola from the first plant now so it needs to finish drying soon.

The two small flowering clones in the front hanging just keep making more buds as well they are still all clear with a few milky tricomes. The two clones in the back of the tent are definitely on their stretch and growing like crazy.

I also gave all the girls in the flower room a feeding with full nutes except for the 1st plant she is just getting water. Very happy with everything that I am tracking in this journal.

[PhantomSulker]

Happy 4/20 everyone!

Got home last night and continued to chop the lower and smaller bud sites on the last of the two girls from my first grow. I am down to less than 1/2 a oz of the first plant, the harvest so far looks like as much as I had total off the first plant. Guess I won't get any kind of weight total of these first two. But it sure is great to be smoking my own grown bud!

The two small clones in the 1 gal pots hanging in the front are still growing lots of new budlets on top of budlets. The other two clones are just growing like crazy, I took a bunch of fan leaves off last night and did some serious bending on them.

After I finished working with the girls I gave them all a good feeding, the one plant I chopped up got plain PH 6.6 water and the other girls all got a regular feeding.

[PhantomSulker]

Feeding time, the flower tent sure goes through some water. Gave all the girls in the flower room a good feeding last night, took 6 gallons of water, with 2tsp MaxiBloom, 1tsp KoolBloom, 2TBS Molasses and PH to 6.2. I took a good bit of top fan leaves off the Mandarin Cookie clones. I also took off any lower bud sites that I could find there were a lot I took off, and did not want to do too much to them. Will do some more next week. The two small 1 gal Mandarin Cookie clones hanging in front just keep building more buds on top of buds. I scope them and they are still all clear on both plants. The other plant hanging in the 3 gal pot in center is my Jack Herer Auto in another journal.

The buds on my first grow plant now in week 14 of flower is still growing new white hairs and buds. The main cola keeps filling in.

Hoping that the first grow will finish very soon and get more auto's going.
