Greetings BB growmies/growmettes far and wide. Wanted a place where I could document what likely will be an epic and sad failure, or hopefully the beginning of my best grow. This past grow was my 9th indoor and I fell in love with one of the plants. I grew 2 ABS, 2 GSK, 1 Banana Krumble and 1 Bubba Kush. I think they all turned out pretty well despite low yields but the ABS #1 stood out from start to finish. Leave it to me to wait till harvest to think "G wiz maybe I should consider trying to keep her". Now I'm paying the price trying to MonsterCrop for the 1st time and have no idea what I'm doing.
Bit of backstory on the strain. So before I began growing I was watching a random dude on FB just grow straight fire. Eventually he started breeding and selling beans. Went by the name Patience Genetics and HERE is a grow of his ABS from like 4-5 years back. He has gone completely MIA and nobody in the group he created knows what happened to him. I have only a few more of his ABS beans and like 15 of the GSK but this keeper I caught is all I care about.
So 1/15 I planted the seeds
Flipped to Flower 3/12
Chopped and hung 5/13, flipped lights to 18/6
Don't like my odds because don't exactly have much going on "lower" on the plant. I saved a small flower here and there and some fan leaves, which don't seem happy. Completely overwatered and think I may have choked her out. I have a digital weight scale and am now weight every day to calculate dryback. Pot was 20.6lb today and will check daily. Think maybe 16-17 might be where she needs to be before any water/weak nutes. If I can somehow get her to reveg I think I am going to buy a chiller and run a couple of AutoPots in 1 of my 4x4s. Think I have about a month to plan for it so long as can keep "Abbie" lol I named her, alive. Will be lookin for all the advice I can get about growing in AutoPots.
Cheers out there and hope yall have a great weekend soon ahead.

and I think we've done it. Looks like I could snip either of these 2 at the top and run with them. Unfortunately I'm behind the clock on gear and such. I need Autopots, Crop Salt, and a Chiller. I'm on it though.
