The first week is the worst, you're like cmon!!!
Haha, pretty much! Luckily I have tried to be patient this whole grow so far, so it's nothing new. Hopefully it's worth it!

Good morning Tri_Cho_Me.Girls went to bed this morning at 8am (fell back an hour from 9am, with daylight saving). Little do they know, this will be a longer slumber than normal 'tonight'.
Can't wait to get this portion of the grow on the road. I can't wait to see my first pistils and my first trichomes. I want to touch them and taste them and smell them. Anxious to see what sort of weight I will get out of the two plants. I'm not even venturing guesses, because expectations are how you wind up disappointed.
I think overall, I just want to experience the feeling of consuming something that I put so much hard work and energy into. At this rate, a 9 week flower would put me into the second week of Janaury for a finishing time.
I can't wait to be beaming with joy from both pride and the THC

Good morning Tri_Cho_Me.
It's funny I was just thinking yesterday morning and wondering if anyone resets their lights to reflect daylight savings time.!
Girls got a good drank last night and today look awesome. Look to be starting the stretch!
More exciting stuff to come!

And the race is on, now you gotta put a number on each bud to see which one wins,
Hey ya'll,
Hadn't been on in a while and wanted to get an update out there now that we're in flower. Feels so good to say that. I'm in flower ya'll!!
I have the light right around 20 inches from the top. The lowest it is supposed to be is 18 inches per Advanced Platinum. I figure since I'm in the stretch, 20 inches allows them to grow up into the light without negative effect.
The two 50 watts were an excellent idea and am glad we decided to go that route. I think with the scrog and the two additional bag seed experiments, the additional coverage was necessary. With the Advanced Platinum P450 and the two 50 watters, it puts me at 68 watts/sq ft.
The canopy is really starting to take shape.

Thought this was kind of a cool side view.

Looking good Tri_Cho_Me.
Your girls look great. You should start seeing pistils in the next couple weeks. You are in the middle of the most exciting phase of the plants growth. You have a couple more weeks of stretch and then they will slow down. You will see the buds develop. Your plants will start to test the oder controls you have in place. You will get an idea of how your pot is going to smell and taste. Your doing a great job. Keep up the updates and the good work.
Yep it's like their first pubes. Very exciting stuff. How's that veg tent coming along?Thanks man! I just noticed little pistils last night for the first time!
Super stoked!

Sounds good Tri_Cho_Me.It is up and running!!
I had an issue with my timer though. And the light for the cab is only a 2 foot, 4 bulb setup, so it leaves something to be desired in the 4x2x4 tent.
Thinking of getting a cheap LED to replace it. We'll see.
I have two of the four 10 gallon Smart Pots in there right now with a little bit of clover sprouting. Just turning the light on and off for now manually since the timer is out of commission.
Once a working timer is in house, I will plant the next round of seeds in the no-till environment. My organic mix of EWC, Ocean Forest and Happy Frog didn't last long, but it sure has done the trick. I am glad I was able to experience those products, but I have quickly moved on to no-till. What I view as the best medium out there. That's why I switched so quick. It was a no brainer!
Anyhow, I'll start a new grow diary once all that stuff gets sorted out and the seeds are sewn.
Tri_Cho_Me
Sounds good Tri_Cho_Me.
I'm using a 4' 4 bulb t5 in my 2x4. It's working well. Last time I vegged under the 600w and I was worried that the t5 wouldn't be as good but it's working great. Supplemental LED or CFL would work well too. You should be able to get a new timer anywhere they sell Christmas decorations this time of year.
Are you going to start taking clones now? I took my first cuttings yesterday. Plenty of room in my 2x4 for the 3 girls and a humidity dome for clones and space to spare.
I'm very interested in how things go with your no till. I'm thinking of going that route soon and will be paying close attention to your next run. How was that build a soil place to work with. Did You have to put extra stuff in the soil they sent or is it ready to go out of the bag?
Sounds good bud.Yea, I got the timer off Amazon, so they're sending me a new one. It's one of those that is a power strip as well.
I probably won't do clones or anything. Both tents are 2x4 and that's really all the room available for two 10 gallon Smart Pots. With four 10 galloners, I can have two plants vegging and two plants flowering at the same time, all the time.
Build-a-Soil was great to work with. Their website isn't the greatest, but they do a good job and their products are well priced and good quality. I bought a soil making kit for peat moss. With that kit, the only thing else you add is the peat moss, compost and pumice stone. I couldn't find pumice, so I got lava rock and threw out all the really big ones that came in the bag.
I'll be sure and update my signature with my first no-till grow diary. I'll make sure you find it
Tri_Cho_Me
Looking real nice bro! You have a green thumb for sure. I like the color of those leaves. Keep it up!Thought I would pop in and drop a few pictures.
Things are looking awesome! Seeing more and more pistils everyday. The bag seed plants in the back have caught up with the rest of the canopy. Trying to thin a couple fan leaves so everyone has space and gets along nicely
Also, I just started my second grow over the weekend. My first go at no-till, and using Sour Diesel seeds. Can't wait. Tri_Cho_Me Goes No-Till

Good morning Tri_Cho_Me.Hey ya'll
We're on Day 22 of Flower and things are starting to frost up a bit. Especially the bag seed experiment on the right. Nice and sticky.
Smell is pretty much the same, nice and diesel.
Fed them Friday then hit them with plain distilled water Sunday. I keep upping the MaxiBloom, Molasses and Tiger Bloom a little each feeding. Seems to be going ok. No signs of anything negative. I am however, struggling with Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD). As soon as my lights come on the humidity starts to drop. Lights out my RH is in the 70's, and lights on its in the 40's. I have a humidifier in the room and keep a wet towel at the bottom of my tent where the air intake is. Any other thoughts to win this battle?
Other than that, just a couple pics to enlighten your minds and tickle your rods and cones. Have fun and thanks for stopping by!
