After 52 days we harvested because we want that runtz stopping their seed Production. Hopefully there will be Not to much seeds. Now they will dry in the tent for 10 days some buds have many seeds others have fewer. The runtz didn't smell good at first, rather disgusting, but after 10 days of drying and 2 weeks of curing, it developed its full flavour. We are very satisfied for our first grow. The BruceBanner was luckily spared pollination. We have already learnt something for our next run… :)

D91 Still a couple of weeks to go at least. She is putting on nice long bud mass as all bud I'll get off her will have very few sugar leafs. And with the top 30cm of the nodes bent outwards it's allowed the light to reach down deeper into the plant itself, and well, you can see the results, bud sites galore. Not much left to do with her. I threw her into a heavy flush for 24hrs first flush run-off was coming back at 2900, way too high, salt and nute residue is been left behind because of the poor P-K uptake that control the spread and uptake of nutes. Got her down to 980 today with her final flush before going into her rest. After the flush I poured 100ml of 2ml/l of cal to help break down the nutes behind so the plant can uptake them, this is very important when doing a flush to lower your TDS add some cal to it as this will keep the plant sucking not only thr water and leaving the nutes behind, cause you need cal espically in subs with nute build up it has to be broken down and will help to avoid nute lock or going into an unwanted flush to early. I'll be dropping her next feed by 200ppm down to around a 1000. I will still give the nutes I've been given just a little less and she needs to get ready for a flush but be kept with enough to keep her mass of growth going. RH is between 55-60%:air been blown in is reading at 48-50% temp is 22c in tent it's 21.7c in the dark and 27-28c with the light on. With my new 4inch intake smart fan im going to set it up so it blows 100% air in at the top and a 4inch intake fan will suck out 80% I'm hoping by doing this it will change the RH of the room 48-50% into the tent creating the same environment. The air that is brought in is filtered by a carbon filter, no need for 1 to blow the air out. 19/3/22 As you can see I have the RH as best as I can get in my grow room, I've installed the smart fan and inserted the sensor giving me 57%RH 75F in the tent, with the light off, it's rather hot today, much hotter than normal, it's normally 21c in my room it's 24.5 today. RH is at 50% in room, hopefully by installing my old intake fan in the lowest part of my tent and suck out 80% While 100% gets blown in on top will bring the tents RH to the same as the room, that's the hope anyways. But 57%RH is still okay, not optimal but not too bad neither 21/3/22 So, I tried out my new method. Of having my smart intake fan suck in 50RH and a bottom intake fan at the end sucking out older air at a lesser speed had it running for 8hrs, no change in humidity whatsoever just dropped the temp by 1.5c. I think the fact I have a 70x70 with so many plants has set the RH and thankfully it's not what it was which was touching on 80rh at some days. A bigger tent and I'll really be able to dial in my grows now I have all the tools to control RH/TEMP from S/H. For now 57%RH when it's low and 62% when the lights are on for a few hours. Stays around 57-60% atm for around 85% of the time. Temp is constant and doesn't change without my control within a range of 4-6c change difference, this number I have no problem in changing and I'll be making my tent a lot cooler after this wk ends. I'll be keeping her at 18c with lights off and 28 with lights on. As for the plant, she has fully turned the corner and I can say whatever the issue was, which no 1 can still tell me what it was not do I know. It wasn't a def because it was so random and hit all different levels of growth. But, thankfully she has passed it, am really dialing in this coco grow. I know exactly how much water she takes without spilling a drop of run-off unless I want it to. The buds, well, they are small at the moment but they are so fucking dense and hard I really hope they get at least 30% bigger of the next 2 wks. The last few days some has but on at least 10% bud mass and all sites have moved out of pre-flower (stigma), so growth is over for the plant, it's just bud sites now, how you can tell is your sites will start to give off their aroma and will start to get sticky to the touch. 85% of the plants buds are all in the same range mature wise or only a few days out from their sister buds. Still some 15% that still has stigma but as this is at the bottom of the plant I know she will not grow anymore but maybe a little if any around these sites. 21/3/22 GRRRRRR stupid rust spots all over her again today, yday she got a mix of all the nutes above, one of these nutes is causing this, I am 75% sure it's overdrive. Really annoying, as there is no deficiencies, no signs, just these poxy rust spots. So annoying, as NO 1 can tell me exactly what they are, it's not a def, the plant ozzs health, she's the pic of it, every leaf stands tall, very good color, slight old nute burn very little on about 10% of the leafs but these stupid rust spots are stupid. Overdrive, or 1 of the nutes is doing this, I reckon it's this as it's only been given that the past 10 days and I'm nearly sure this is the cause, but I can't be sure, and until I figure it out I really don't feel comfortable moving forward with the AN line. Sadly I think I'll be dropping everything but big bud, bud candy&voodoo juice. 22/3/22 Was going through my buds and man, they are so sticky you would nearly say they are done until you look close at them, there still full of pistils, white hairs, the bud growth will come past them, so there is still a big push yet to come so I was hoping to start dropping the micro nutes but I think that would be a massive mistake and cost me dearly on harvest day. Fuck it, I'll flush the shit out of it for 2 weeks on flawless finish and then a week on water and 2-4 days in the dark just on water. With much thought I pushed the PPM back up to 1450. I've decided to drop overdrive. After 24hrs of flushing my coco like crazy I'll be happy to start her back on nutes in 24hrs when she's drank the 2.8-3.2l of water she's currently holding, the run-off from that was 1800 btw, but with salts and so on from the last feed I've learnt with AN the PPM reading is what you give it, not always the Run-off. Yeah I'd trust the PPM reading 2moro if i was doing another ppm run off test, but as im not ill go by what im putting into it, cause my weekly flushes/flushing in general in pretty good, very little nute lock experinces with mixing so many nutes 22/3/22 Messaged AN and sent them pics and info, by going through my nutes and the fact that I gave some big bud in the same window as overdrive causes these rust spots. Thankfully I finally have an answer as to the rust issues. Just a bad mix with nutes that shouldn't come into contact with each other. Thanks AN Thanks for reading, drop a like and I'll know u drop by and I'll do the same gottagrowsometime

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. Had some ups and downs with this plant. mainly the extreme yellowing that was happening. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and I feel this has suffered in the end. The top best looking buds could have been larger and the lower ones could have been thicker. There is some smells with this plant but they are not pronounced. Just smells like mild basic weed, this would be one reason not to grow it, however, the crystals on this plant have been the most I've ever grown before. When trimming them every time the scissors snipped or the brush stroked I saw some falling down onto the tray. This plant would be great for making hash. had a good little ball of finger hash at the end of it and will be giving that to my friends to smoke or make a strong edible with. I don't plan on growing this strain out again, the lack of smells and the fact I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. most of the lower growth is quite larfy but will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 5.34oz or 151.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷151.6g = 2.22 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 151.6g = 0.24c/g It cost 24c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Flushed all the plants today. I water every 3rd day, so maybe two more flushings before harvest.

5/27 curious to see where this week ends up at 5/29 the one plant indoors is packing on weight. The one I put outside to finish (possibly stupid) seems to be maturing faster but bulking slower. She's seemed healthy this whole time. Not even a burnt leaf tip 5/31 attempting to take pictures in different lighting to get a better idea for yall viewers

Day 67: Increase in flower size phrase has been finished now they about to go into the mature phrase. I will eighter flower them for 1 or 2 weeks depending on how it goes. Might only give them water with enzymen,regulator and humic for now on, that Is basicly flushing ( ec 0.7 ). or Ill just slightly feed them( ec 1.4-1.6) for a few times before I start flushing them( ec 0.7). Again I took the pictures before doing work on them ( watering and defoliation), so they look a little sad. I did notice that many of them got burned tips, indicating that they get more nutrients then needed. It does make sence since In this week and weeks to come, they need less nutrients and having a harder time taking it. Yet they do drink everything in 1.5-2 days, so they still do like to get nutes. Thats all for this week.

Thiis time I wanted to make all same strain kind of grow. Put the seeds directly in the jiffy pellets in the pot to save some extra work. I always used Aptus nutrients but this time I switched to Biobizz since Aptus isn't imported anymore to my country. So we will see how Biobizz works.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 today and starting to see a few orange and brown pistils but still plenty of healthy white ones but trichs are still clear with a few milky in there. All looks good and will be ready for some water tomorrow. Day 72 - Nothing new, noticing a bit more pistils shriveling up a bit so I’ll probably give her another week or so and then possibly start flushing her. She did get 2 gallons of plain water today. Day 74 - She’s still chunking up quite a bit and looks like the pistils are finally starting to fade a bit but a ton still nice and healthy. Another day or two and she’ll be ready for some water again. Day 75 - She’s coming down to the end with just a couple weeks left. She needs some water so gave her 2 gallons today and next watering I’ll start the pre-harvest feeding with just MagiCal and SugarDaddy. Day 76 - Nothing new today, just a forest of trees getting fat and stinky. Day 77 - The end of week 11 and still looks like she’s got a good couple weeks left, as of right now. Not gonna give her any nutes and just plain water from here on out.
