Hey yall, Temps were high, but under control now. My girls were droopy despite having moist soil. After a good compost tea they bounced right back. Pistol hairs are showing, haven't grown this specific cultivar before so the bud structure is a but different than others I am familiar with. Let's see what she does moving forward. I am not a super fan of these genetics. Already have new seeds I am ready to start once these ladies are done. Over all the Strawberry Diesel from Beaver Seeds is not a noob grow, you need to have your grow dialed in. And really be careful with PM. I am keeping humidity as low as I cam while still maintaining a decent VPD. Challenges with this strain definitely turns me off. Looking forward to a new cultivar, already have some genetics from Michigan, those cats are really something else, they are hellbent on being better than the West coast. And they are in my humble opinion 😌 ☺️ Pure Michigan looks good, also Honey Sticks Genetics out of Maine is killing it, their Bananaconda 4 tested over 40% total cannabinoids. They want like 3k per cut, so that won't be my next, but looking forward to new genetics nonetheless. Anyways made some new ferments, remember to use equal parts organic sugar, Jaggery is best, that is the closest form of sugar to the sugar cane plant. Cover with paper towel, 2 to 3 days later let gravity give you all that juice, don't squeeze it to get more. Keep that juice in the fridge, that is your food. Then add water to the solids and keep at room temperature for 3 months to make a vinegar. That is your cleanser. Ask questions please 🙏 Love to see others trying KNF, or simply put Natural Farming methods.

did some LST to this girl. We were in the middle of a mini drought but we did get 6mm of rain yesterday. So that will help with growth a lot. I also watered them with a whopping 9 gal each day before the rain. So I am expecting some excellent growth over the coming week. Ive been looking for an inexpensive source of granulated humic and fulvic acids if anyone knows of a source in southern Ontario.

7/3 Hot as fuck today. Japanese beetles were around. I killed a few. I'm going to have to go over and keep an eye on things. It reached 90° today for the majority of the day. I watered around 1pm as I noticed most of the bags were very light. I'm glad I held off on the BT. I've dealt with jpn beetles before so hopfully that won't be an issue. Things are getting big. It won't let me upload any pictures or the video I did. I may upload it to past week. Went back over at night and and plants looked dropy but it was after 7pm and they were just going to sleep. 7/4 Didn't take photos this morning. Found some jpn beetles. That's the damage I've been seeing. I went back over last night to hunt them but I only got two. There weren't any others. No biggie. I'll put some pics up from today after I get back 7/5 Didn't get a chance to check the plants out today. My intuition tingled around 1pm and I had just gotten home and I ran over to check them. They displayed minor signs of heat stress as seen in the pics (due to the super high humidity and 90° weather) and the bags were light. A few were REALLY light. I could see they needed water. I WATERED 4 1/2 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. DO TO THE HIGH TENPS AND WINDS IVE HAD TO WATER THE LAST THREE DAYS IN A ROW. IVE SLOWLY STRARTED INCREASING VOLUME. I don't want to water until I get a shit ton of run off because I want to keep the nutes in my soil as long as possible. As you can see things are going great. Minor pests but notjing major. They're growing at a very rapid pace. I'll need to add another layer of supports soon and begin to LST some of these girls. I've got one seedling in a 10 gal and I'm pretty sure it's a feminized red runtz but it's in preflower and looks and SHOULD be a female but I haven't seen the white hair yet. Looks like a female preflower though. I do have one auto though in a 5 gallon tjats doing good too. I have a bunch of pics but the internet is too slow. I'll upload tomorrow. Started pouring around 6. 7/6 Poured sheet rain all night. After it had Bern super fucking hot and I watered my plants with 4 1/2 gallons. Oh well. If I didn't water we wouldn't have gotten the rain. The fabric bags makes watering easier. The wind will dry out the medium. We do have some rain in the forecast. A pallet fell over and knocked my 5 gal bucket with tje auto into a 10 gal seedling but it held the pallet up and didn't damage anything. Out of all the ways it coyldve landed it landed just right to not hurt anything. Everything is super healthy. I do have some random pest damage but it's minimal. I'll decide whether to use a spray or not. Didn't take pictures this morning. Was pressed for time. 7/7 Super hot even at 8a.m. Rained the majority of the day yesterday. Plants are getting HUGE. I'm going to have to build a second round of supports and should probably start some LSTing. They seem to like growing natural how they are (besides the original topping and FIMed. You can tell these are ALL very high % indicas. I'm seeing pistols spitting out everywhere. Event horizon and sherb cake seem to be in the lead. The seedlings have realky taken off. The one I put in the 50 has fan leaves the size of my hands. 7/8 Wow it has been extremely hot. It's going to be in the 90's again today. Checked my plants and it seems the GMOs seem to be using more water. Those bags were a little lighter. Seeing how there is no rain in for a few days I had to water. WATERED 3 1/2 GALLONS. LAST SEEDLING FINALLY SHOWED AS A FEMALE. 7/9 Bags are still heavy. Found ONE jpn beetle this morning. Plants seem to be bigger everytime I look.starying the stretch and spitting out some pistols. I took some pics of the pistles. I'll update 7/10 should've started a new week but I didn't. I'll make next week six days. Plants are starting ro stretch. Minor random pest damage but woth the heat they need lots of water. Noticed a couple dead interior leaves so I should probably go through everything and defoliate. I need to add another layer of supports as well.

I just entered flowering stage, I switched to the bloom nutrients and I've stopped putting Rhino Skin like 2weeks ago and now am adding NIRVANA to help with the phosphorus I've also gave them a well needed defoliation try to focus all the energy in the pistils I've dropped my lights as well and my I've been keeping an eye for my temp. Don't want it to go above 80° The order am mixing my nutrients are: •hydroguard •Nirvana •CalMag •Bloom A •Bloom B • pH balance to 5.8 So far their pryin' up wards after I dropped the lights the seem to respond well.

Starting to see a good bit of stretch going on. Filling out pretty quickly from the pre flower defoliation. Been taking a couple bigger fan leave every couple days.

Buds seriously starting to fatten up, put out some serious trichomes and smell this week. Smell has intensified quite alot since last week soon as you open the tent the smell smacks you in the face. More trichomes by the day looking like a serious smoke. Upped the EC to 2 for this week to try and get a much out of these as possible. I won't be going any higher than a 2 EC so I don't fry my plants. Some orange hairs starting to appear on both the cereal milk and wedding cake.

7/7 2AM MONDAY Awesome week last week, AMINOS are working better then I cold have imagined!!!! I got a new AC Infinity Germination Propagation system, lights and all. Now I can have a mobile one for the kitchen and veggies..... I never thought I would become a gardener. now I understand how cells work, how it all works... and most information is outdated and inaccurate!!! I should be able to find a mix of human aminos I can use in these plants to overcome heat and salinity AND lower wattage because of increased photosynthesis from application of AMINOS with healthy diet of AN as a base!!!! 725am setting up the new AC Infiniti germination kit or Sith Lord propagation system 145pm BANANA PURPLE PUNCH....JUST SMOKED SOME CUT OFF BOTTOM BRANCH. WAS NOT HARSH..RIGHT OFF THE PLANT AND NOT HARSH. BONG, WATER FILTER BUT NOT TOO BAD. SHE SMELLS SO STRONG AND FRUITY AND FRESH, NOT BAD, SMALL SIZE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN TASET OR EFFECT. THE AMINOS MUST BE DOING SOMETHING. ALL STALKS ACROSS ALL PLANTS AND 3 DIFFERENT GROWS ARE MUCH STRONGER!!! SMALL 1 GALLON GROWS CAN MAKE STALKS THIN HOWEVER THIS WILL COMPENSATE FOR THAT WITH AMINO, M BLUE, SILICA, FULL STRENTH AN CON 4ML PER L. 7/8 1am THIN STALKS / PROBLEM/RESOLUTION - 1 gallon veg will lead to thinner stalks than tall plants can self support. RESOLUTION: REIFORCMENTS THROUGH AMINOS AND MBLUE. MB & AMINO /NUTRIENTS COMBINATION REACTS WITH NITROGEN DURING VEGETATIVE PERIOD GIVING EXTRA PLASTICITY & STRENGTH TO LEAF SURFACE. ALMOST RUBBER LIKE IN SHINE AND FEEL. STALKS / MAIN AND OFFSHOOTS ARE SIMILAR, THE VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF SILICA DELIVERED WITH MB/AMINOS/NUTES. WORK TO MASSIVELY INCREASE STRENGTH!!!!! 4X AT LEAST WITH SAME THICKNESS!!!!!!👨‍🔬. AND LST WORKING TO ALSO INCREASE BRANCH THICKNESS AND FULLNESS xylem/phloem just awesome ....AROMAS ARE HEAVY AFTER FEEDINGS....I CANT BURN THE LEAF TIPS WITH THIS COMBO. I HAVE TO BUY ALL 18 AMINOS AND DO MILLIGRAM DOSES...I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT YET. YET!! copy and paste title so I can find this again!!!!!!! Amino Acid Transporters in Plants: Identification and Function .....https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/8/972..... FUNICULUS....FOR HOME SYSTEM THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT PRACTICALITY OR SMELL OR STORAGE....AMINOS AND ORGANICS STINK....FOLAR AMINO SPRAYS WOULD STINK UP THE TENT, THE HOUSE, I DONT SEE HOW A SPRAY WOULD BE A CLEAN SOLUTION. SO AMINOS WILL NOT BE SPRAYED IN A SMALL HOME ENVIRONMENT, TOO DIRTY. 230AM SOLUTION IS TO AMINO THE ROOTBALL. DIFF. CONCENTRATION OF N WILL BURN THO....HMMMM. NOT A PHD..ADVANCED HOBBY. DONT NEED ALL THIS...SO AMINOS ARE ROOT DELIVERED WITH MBLUE 1 DROP PER L. WHICH ONES AND WHEN NEXT. THIS SYSTEM IS FOR FUCKED UP PEOPLE TIRED AND NOT VERY MOBILE....SO EVERYTHING MUST BE PRESTENED EASY TO USE. 305AM....I SMOKED BBP LASNIGHT FULLY GROWN WITH MB AND I DIDNT WAKE UP ANY MORE RETARED THAN USUAL SO ITS GOOD. 545am """A critical review of citrulline malate supplementation and exercise performance...https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8571142/"""". 🍉"to achieve an intake of 10 g of L-citrulline, ingestion of around 3–5 kg of fresh watermelon (highest concentration of all foods) would be required and this is not only impractical for athletes (Davis et al. 2011), but would also not contain a sufficient dose of the malate component."😂 in 2L 💦: 2 drops Methylene Blue 5 percent, 5 drops Quick Sorb Amino Acid, 1 pill (contents not the gel) Nitric Boost, 0.5ml Rhino Silica, 8mL Con. Bloom A+B, 3ml Big Bud by AN. AND Bud Factor X 4ml.... that might be too much!!!! 10AM.....RESULTS ARE BLOWING MY FUCKING MIND.!!!!!! 2BBB AND 2 GOATS NO BURNS...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?????? FULL NUTE LOAD!!!!!! I ADDED BUD FACTOR X, I SHOULD SEE BURNS AND CURLS...AND IM NOT!!!!!! TIP TRAIN THE ROOTBALL SYSTEM LIKE A SEPERATE LIFE FORM. WATER QUICKLY & LIGHTLY THE TOP TO ALART THE PLANT OF INCOMING WATER FROM BOTTOM, THIS PULLS WATER UP FIRST, THEN BOTTOM FEED TO KEEP FLOW UPWARD AND CONSISTENT, SLOW POURS WORK. 1020am goat by Royal Queen seeds might be one of the best plants I’ve ever seen in my life and all of the plants from fast buds to seedsman bubbles blueberry F4 all with the treatment I’m using are growing and expanding faster than I’ve ever seen stronger stocks than I’ve ever seen in no burns. I may have locked in the system that prevents burns and grows in very difficult environments I have not done any flushing, so there is an excessive nutrient and salt buildup in the fertilizer in the soil and we’re still having fantastic results.👍👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥💥🚨🚨🚨 7/9 330am methylene blue, aminos are working on the plants AND me!!!!!!!!!! Best results so far. I didn't pH the water right it was probably 6.5 or higher. I see a little stress on G Gas F1, not bad GG auto had stress burns prior to new MB/Amino she is doing great even with way too high fertilizer !!!!!

Meine Woche ist finde ich gut verlaufen sie findet sich langsam zurecht in dem größeren Topf. Ich hatte zwischendurch das Gefühl dass sie nicht richtig an wurzeln dürfen dass sie nicht richtig trinkt aber scheinbar funktioniert es doch alles ich habe auch hier wieder die neue Lampe mit bei und ich denke deswegen hängen die Blätter ein wenig weil es jetzt eine Umstellung ist und diese Lampe sehr viel mehr power hat als die vorherige heute habe ich auch wieder Enhancer benutzt die untersten Blätter werden langsam schon gelb weiß jemand was ihr fehlt.

Update February 4, 2019 (Video and Pics actually taken Feb 1). I’m figuring I’m about mid-way into flower now with the 6 girls I have flowering. Overall, I’m very happy with how things are going. The buds are coming in strong on all plants, they are stinky and sticky and I’m not complaining about anything really. But, I still see more yellow than I like. Last week I fed Recharge, Mammoth P, MegaCrop, and CalMag+. I don’t feed all of those at once, Recharge & Mammoth P one time, MegaCrop & CalMag+ the next, then the 3rd is usually straight water. I also seem to be able to go at least a day between waterings/feedings. Anyway, yellowing leaves during flower seems to be most common with a Nitrogen deficiency as far as I can tell. I’m tempted to feed in a round or two of veg nutes to see how that goes. One more thing… I transplanted my clones and seedlings into larger nursery pots today. They were transplanted into pots with soil that has been composting/recharging for almost a month now based on some of the tips from the books I have been reading. I’m excited to see how they react to their new environment.

Great week. Cloudy days and laid off the water. Only issue has been a consistent influx of caterpillars. Have been picking them off and removing the damaged flowers. The smell is powerful. Happy growing to all the viewers. May your harvest be bountiful.

Humidty Around 52% and temp around 20c lights on 75% capacity in the middle of week 2. Will be updating in a few days. So temperature shot way up, it got a lot colder outside so my heating started to work overtime and because the thermometer is in my livingroom, it got prettty hot in the growing room. It peaked at 30 and after i adjusted a few things it has now stabilized at 27 degrees celcius. Humidity went way down (-40%) so i turned on the humidifier and it's now back to aaround 55% Despite that te plants are looking good and the lights are now at 100%.Most plants are looking good, only the one in the front left of the tent is looking weird. It isn't growing it's main shoot, instead it looks like it is developing more of the side shoots. Will keep an eye on it the next few of days. I also sealed the room from light and adjusted the exhaust pipe for better air circulation.

Plants were watered on day 4 of week 4, as follows: Thin Mint Jr. (P1): 1 gallon water, pH: 6.2, Height: 5 1/4 in. Thin Mint Sr (P2): 1 gallon water, pH: 6.13, Height: 4 1/2 in. Lucy (P3): 1 gallon water, pH: 5.6 (slightly low), Height: 5 in. Herbert (P4): 1 gallon water, pH: 4.93 (LOW), Height: 4 3/4 in. ***All plants were watered with nutrient this week; Bergman's Plant Food Growtime Fertilizer (19% N, 5% P, 20% K - 2/3 tsp/gallon) ***Planning to add pH UP solution to Plants 3 & 4 (more notably P4) to increase their pH levels a bit as they are a little lower than ideal right now. Our pH goal is 5.8-6.5). ***Lights increased to 40% intensity on day 3 of this week and increased again to 40% on day 5 of this week. *Current AC Infinity tent settings: Daytime temp: 73-78 degrees F Nighttime temp: 67-70 degrees F Humidity range: 50-60% (ideal is 55% for daytime)

I figured nothing could go wrong with 50% amber / 50% milky trichomes. Harvest day, Medical Mass: Huge buds and no traumas but got bud rot because of too high temps. The best I've ever smoked. Harvest day, Pineapplex Express: Got an early trauma when transplanting but handled it beautifully. Potent smoke. Pretty satisfied for a first grow, and I have a lot of changes for my 2nd grow!

This was such an amazing experience! The outcome could have been better but I'm happy and the quality is definitely there!!!!! Such a sweet tasting smoke with very relaxing, very creative highlights! I finally got to try this strain and I immediately see why it's a legend!!! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

All done and dusted on this bad boy. Nice big bushy auto that did its job from the beginning. It was always harder work than the Do Si Dos and with what I’ve hung up to dry I don’t think it’ll have a larger harvest either. The smell is super strong and very fruity and will give an updated the final smoke and weight. 🙌🏼
