First Grow - CBD Blue Shark

Hey everyone!

Any thoughts on timing? Buds still aren’t too big/no big colas yet. I extended flower for a week, so current schedule is 2 weeks left in flower and 10 days in flush.

Thanks!

@OrionsCeiling - still think that’s about the right schedule? 2 weeks of flower and 10 days of flush?

Also thanks for always responding!

Best,

Good question. I’d wait a week or a week and a half to decide whether to add more. The trichomes are where the decision is usually made!

Do you have your jeweler’s loupe handy?

  1. I feel like a complete idiot because I can’t focus using the Grobo loupe.

  2. I just noticed the stalk split in half at the top. Did a tape job on it, but now worried.

Ok stalk splitting is really normal and happens more often than we think. It might help you out in the long run with trichome development

It’s adjustable. Takes a bit of time to learn to use but you have to find the sweet spot. It’s confusing you’ll figure it out!

@OrionsCeiling does the tape matter?

Not exactly the same but basically the same premise. Take a read:

OK. Used a piece of straw to hold it in place… Hopefully the schedule stays in place.

Best!

Down to 11 days on the Grobo flower schedule. Don’t see any harm done from the split as yet. Here are a couple close ups of the branches in question.

Thanks everyone and especially @OrionsCeiling !

I’m thinking flush tomorrow or Tuesday. I usually have time to refill during the day then.

OK - so I decided I’ll do a regular water change with nutes today and then start flush on Tuesday with Flawless Finish.

Is there a good thread on cleaning the unit after a grow/recalibrating the ph sensor? I’ve been looking but haven’t seen anything really dedicated to just that.

Just trying to see if I need anything before I start grow #2.

My first seed in the grobo start never germinated so planted another one today - hopefully that one works.

Thanks!

This is a good guide for a proper clean out of the Grobo.

When you harvest, I would suggest draining the unit completely, getting all the water out, and giving it a good wipedown with some vinegar and then possibly isopropyl after before drying. You could end up doing the full clean out, but typically I would suggest getting your plant trimmed (if you choose to do so) and hung as soon as possible to start the dry and cure pretty quickly.

It is a good idea to hang your pH probe in a plastic baggie with either distilled/RO water or a storage solution to keep it saturated while the dry process goes on/ inbetween grows. You can use magnet hooks to hold it in place while it sits in the liquid.
