If my current rate of growth & vigor hold out by next week she will be feeding by the timer just don't want to over saturate the medium right now better safe than sorry I've had my eye on this strain ever since gentleman corpse ran it it's my hope to get her up to monster status ever thankful for the good ol folks at freak genetics for this one

Def better safe than sorry. It's so dam easy to overwater them at this stage.

I've found that as long as I let them get in their groove before I kick the feeding schedule to daily feeding I can get a pretty aggressive rate of growth but if I try to push it too soon the plant will go into a funk that takes time to recover from it just throws the whole grow off I like to take this acclimation period & do my topping now then when she wakes up everything is in place & I can start training her to the screen

Ya I have a few recovering from me overwatering. Usually a few waters after transplant and I forget which one's were the transplants

Given the large number of plants & strains you run I could see that happening lol

Im not accustomed to that grow style yet.
Drying out too much is usually my problem.

This stuff holds moisture pretty good but once established I flood daily & sometimes twice daily but so far havent found any advantage to flooding twice a day

 

[horribleherk]

I flooded her again tonight she is perking up a little more each day not yet ready for daily flooding yet but starting to appreciate a good meal

 

[horribleherk]

Getting happier she is starting to gain momentum ill feed again tomorrow this weekend ill bump the megacrop up a bit

 

[horribleherk]

Fed her today I've got one funny leaf I've upped the megacrop to 3gr. she is getting a deeper green color than she had not sure if the deformed leaf is genetic or something that just happened but she is looking nicer by the day

Fall weather is here it froze last night & snow got pretty close yesterday I might have to run all 6 cobs just for heat or I'm gonna have to add heat I'm acclimating my scj babies while the other tent finishes

I had to buy a cheap $14 space heater to keep it warm enough for my quantum boards. The plants did not like it below 70ish.

Ill be using this little heater with built in thermostat & timer

Getting growth & this morning when I opened the tent the leaves were kind of slanted towards the light

 

[horribleherk]

Little by little this is starting to resemble a grow & the topping I gave her the other day is sprouting new growth I'm only gonna do one more topping my goal is when I get enough growth to put in the screen I'm gonna simultaneously set the reservoir timer to feed daily were getting close

 

[horribleherk]

I'm getting ready to kick this up a notch & fire up the other 3 cobs & increase the megacrop to 3.5 gr. when you run the megacrop at lower levels it is easy to overwater View attachment 37819 View attachment 37819

 

[horribleherk]

I fired up all 6 cobs & my temperature came right into play & new growth is the result winner winner chicken dinner I'm gonna top her one more time & then start filling the scrog

 

[horribleherk]

The brown crispy stuff on the bottom fans I believe was caused from overwatering/saturation of my medium we seem to be past that now cant wait to get her up to speed I'm gonna top one more time soon as I get enough growth

 

[horribleherk]

I trimmed off the damaged fans & topped her today she is developing nice thick stems which hopefully will support nice thick buds megacrop holding steady at 3gr. per gal she's kind of a sleepy girl at this point but I strongly believe sleeping beauty is gonna one day wake up hungry from her nap to me this is the slowest most tedious part of a grow especially with a brand new strain I do have the advantage of @ gentleman corpse running it & his result & the generosity of @ freak genetics to thank for this introduction to esos gear

 

[horribleherk]

Training day today under those fat leaves I found a couple of side branches & nice fan leaves which as I spread this out is gonna be like solar panels in a few days I'm gonna top the side branches at least once this extra effort now is gonna really pay when I fit the screen the higher temps from firing all 6 cobs is waking her up the res is still on the timer at this point of the grow I've gotta keep a close eye out for oversaturated medium
