Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[PCBuds]

The RH seems to be in the ballpark, so I put a bunch of 62% Boveda packs in the jar.

It smells great, but I suck at trying to describe it. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I aimed the circulation fan up and over top of the seedling.

I figure that she may hesitate from growing tall if she's fighting with too much wind ?

 

[PCBuds]

I'm drunk and stoned and did some shopping.

9 bucks each, so I bought 4 to get free shipping.

Each one is supposed to be good for a pound of buds.

 

[Mars Hydro Led]

She's 3 days old and looking good.

​


The chopped plant has been hanging for 5 days now.
It feels nice and dry now, so I hung it back up in the bedroom.

looks yummy.

 

[PCBuds]

looks yummy.

Thanks Mars.

I haven't tried it yet but it smells great.

My seedling is looking good.
She's 9 days old today.

 

[PCBuds]

I harvested my outdoor plant...

It's a homunculus. Lol

My cat likes it though.

I just pulled it up and hung it up.

I'll deal with the fan leaves later, or maybe never.
​It's a 3 joint plant. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I want to say to ReikoX that my dwarf plant has nothing to do with his genetics.

I grew another seed of the same batch that yeilded me over 400 grams.

I'm growing another of those same seeds right now.


She's getting another set if leaves.

Lol...

 

[Swanson]

Nice to see it finished, hope it's good smoke

 

[PCBuds]

Nice to see it finished, hope it's good smoke

I guess it was done, but it was foxtailing and I didn't think that happens with an outdoor plant, so I don't what was going on with it ??

There should be enough bud for a half decent taste test.




I tried some of my latest closet plant and it was quite good.

After reading about Sampas92's problems with mold, I dumped out my buds and closely checked each bud with a bright light and my reading glasses.

I picked off all the remaiming cat fuzz which was stuck to the sticky trichomes.

I found four buds with a tiny bit of mold starting.
It was really hard to see. It was more of a white powdery look. I was expecting to see gray fuzz. It looked just like the trichomes, but when I touched it wasn't sticky like the trichomes.
It was so well camouflaged and such a small amount that I couldn't get a picture of it.

I wonder what would have happened if those buds stayed in the jar.
I don't think it would have spoiled the whole jar because I have the humidity down to 62% now, but I don't know.

I figure that I probably have had some small amounts of mold with other plants, because I never checked this closely before.

 

[PCBuds]

The new closet plant is doing well and is getting bigger every day.
She's got a bent stalk and I think that's going to be permanent.

 

[PCBuds]

Not much action going on right now with one plant, so I took a picture...

 

[Mars Hydro Led]

Good luck for the new run.

 

[PCBuds]

My plant is looking a little flakey...

The first set of leaves look droopy and burnt.

She had lots of wind on her at first then I nuted her, but the second set of leaves look really good, so I'm not going to worry about it.

The third set of leaves look good too, so I'm going to ignore the first set.

I figure she is getting used to the nutes and lights.

I turned on the 3500k side lights dimly, so she is adjusting.

 

[darthmonkious]

So much content, I will drop by to see more of your adventures.

Thanks for stopping by darth.

The adventure continues.
My plant looks like shit.

I figured that she might be too wet, so I dug out around the plant to get some air to the soil.

After doing that, I realized that I had watered her with half strength nute solution but forgot to PH the solution, so I've probably got all kinds of lockouts going on.
Oops.

I checked the solution and it was reading 7.0.

I had some solution left, so I added some more water and PHed it down to 5.8, then flushed about 300 ml of it down at the stalk.

I'll try to give it some LIFTA now and won't do anything more for at least two to three days.


She is 13 days old now and should probably be better established.

Hopefully she can recover quickly and I didn't stunt her too bad.

I have had other plants that had problems, but they did recover and I ended up with a pretty good yeild.

 

[PCBuds]

She's looking even worse today.

I'm just going to leave her alone.
I'm pretty sure that she'll be fine.

I don't think that I've ever grown a plant that wasn't tortured in some way. Lol

As long as you learn from those mistakes it just makes you a better grower! Cannabis can take a beating and a half, the last breeding broject I went out of my way to torture 500 seeds and the 200 that survived were tough as nails!

 

[PCBuds]

My problem is that I tend to forget what I learn.
I repeat a lot of my mistakes. Lol

Another problem is that I grow Autoflowers. If they struggle too much, they end up small with a low yeild, like my last outdoor plant.

With a photo period, you can just give it more time before you flip the lights.

I'll see how my plant is in few days.
If she still looks like crap, I might start over.
I don't want to spend 9-10 weeks growing another miniature plant.

 

[PCBuds]

I screwed up.
I know that you're supposed to wait until you have two full sets of leaves before you start any nutes, and I didn't wait.
I also forgot to PH my nute solution, and I was watering it too much even before that.

I'm using coco/perlite and you aren't supposed to be able to overwater, but I think that I did.

 

[PCBuds]

Her newest growth still looks OK, so she still has a chance.

I think she's just stalled right now.
