Hola a todos 🙌 completando la quinta semana. Conseguí aumentar la dosis de fertilizantes, es nítido en el crecimiento de las ramificaciones. La sexta semana será la última de vegetativo para comenzar la floración. Está comenzando a oler bastante, se siente en todo mi cuarto. Actualmente invirtiendo en una manera de disminuir el olor. Esta semana hubo demasiadas variaciones de temperatura y humedad, me parece que la afectaron un poco pero ella continúa creciendo fuerte. Buenos humos 🍃 happy growing

7/28/19 --Super happy to see the plants doing this well. Ive found that every other day feeding is the best for these specific plants. Im a big proponent of only watering the plant when it signals it is ready for watering. The least possible amount of induced stress for these plants is the goal for me. Cheese seemed to be totally unaware of the FIM that was done on it, as it showed not even 1 sign of stress post FIM. Cream cookies is another story, she's quite sensitive to absolutely everything--including watering. I am super happy to see that the last fan leave on the 5th node has 9 leaves--a really good sign that the plant is doing extremely well. The more leave nodes on each leave the healthier than plant. There are zero signs of nutrient burn at all. It was difficult at first to see if the slight bending of the leaves was due to nutrient burn, but I later figured out that the leaves were pressing against the side of their pot and as a result bending--wasnt nutrient burn. Ive been varying the pH widely each week--with the attempt to be as random as possible. I want to make as many nutrients available to the plant as absolutely possible. I really am loving the Advanced Nutrients Sensi line. Im growing in coco but I bought the nutrient mix not designed for coco with the understanding there might be some potassium issues down the road. But otherwise as a chemist by profession, when I heard about the pH perfect line I was rightly skeptical. It will balance your solution to the correct pH range (5.6-6) IF you start with dead neutral pH 7.00±0.05 water with no dissolved salts (distilled water). the distilled water I've been buying (from Walmart) clocks in on the pH meter at around 7.6-8.6 which will cause the pH perfect technology to neutralize some of the dissolved ionic species and bring the pH well below safe range for cannabis. Ive found that if you pH the distilled water to 7.00--add your Ca/Mg/Fe, THEN add the pH perfect technology the range will be much more suitable. It was kind of annoying since my pH down is so much more concentrated than my pH up. Me problems I know but still annoying. --One of my amazing collages at work is going to water both babies today with Week 4 nutrient solution even though we are technically in week 5. My vacation has prevented me from mixing the solution to feed. --This vacation has brought so many new automation ideas to coco coir growing. Ive been developing a hypothesis that involves what I call the "level of droop age" and its correlation to plant thirst. It began when I was growing in soil and needed a better way of telling when to feed the plants instead of a fixed schedule, which seemed to be giving way too much water to the plants. ---Ive developed a "droop scale" which can be directly correlated to plant thirst. Ive also found that very happy plants that do not want water will go through a natural droop cycle as night approaches. I take this as the plants time to grow out its root system (happens at night). By the morning the leaves are pointing up in what I call "leaves up loving life" ---So the scale I've developed is kind of arbitrary but it does a really good job imo if you become very familiar with your plants. ---The scale ranges from -10 (the most droop in the leaves every observed) to +10 (the most extreme leaves up loving life ever observed). the scale is out of 10 not 20. ---lets say that you watered your plants today, and their leaves were at a -7/10 droop (what when I water my plants). If you water them you should observe no increase in droop--in other words after watering the droop should only improve not regress. If the droop increases after watering your plants wanted a little more time before their feed--so alter your droop scale until you find the level of droop that when feed causes only an increase in the droop. 6 hours after watering you plant droop should be >+1/10. The next day you should see your plants at least at +5/10 droop. ---Merging this scale with automation is going to be difficult as ill have to use an open source machine learning AI to learn when the plants droop is sufficient enough to justify a watering. I hope to set up the system to be automated or manually operated over the cloud. ---Using a Raspberry pi and an Arduino as well as a whole set of motor control boards and sensor boards I hope to put together an integrated system that can detect when the leave droop reaches critical levels using a camera, and feed accordingly. Ive been all over the internet and all automated grow projects rely on soil moisture sensors which only penetrate <4 inches into the substrate. This doesn't cut it for me as the root ball of the plant is way below that 4 inches of the sensor, yielding readings which only pertain to the top layer of soil, which just so happens to dry out the fastest. ---Im going to keep my grows at 2 plants each from no on--and I plan to make an automated system for both plants which can control watering to both plants individually. Im currently trying to figure out the best way to track volume of water dispensed. A flow meter with a know diameter tubing and a known diaphragm pump rate seems to introduce all sorts of inaccuracies into the mix. I think im going to design an automated measuring system that uses an ultrasonic distance sensor coupled with a camera and AI to fill up a the hopper to the desired volume of nutrient solution. ---I have all the hardware listed but im a complete dumbass when it comes to coding. My profession is chemistry, coding goes right over my head. I have an immense respect for coders as I honestly have no idea how you guys do it. Its like learning 15 different languages at once and using them all together. Blows my the ability of our society. The wide range of skills. Love it. ---If anybody would like to help me code this project it would be greatly appreciated. 7/30/19 -Cream Cookies is doing extremely well. FIM was a great idea. 4 new main cola sites came out of the FIM which im very happy about. The undergrowth also has caught up to the canopy. the canopy has a plethora of bud sites. Defoliation done to increase light to bottom branches. Largest fan leaves towards the canopy removed. FIM'ed leaves that opened up also trimmed, allowing more light to penetrate to those small bud sites. --Ive counted sites where main colas can form. Very happy with this HST I decided to do. --LST done and branches separated from each other so they can receive ample light. Thinking of adding supplementary 40W flowering bulbs for flowering. -Cheese FIM didn't work as intended but it did break the symmetry of the plant. One of the first branches has grown higher than the canopy and I had to tie it down using LST. Did some defoliation and going to do some LST later. --Some light stress spots on Cheese, makes sense since I wasn't physically at my apartment to raise the lamp. Before raising the lamp the plants were 14 inches from the light which is way too close. The closest it should be is 17 inches. Raised the lamp to 18 inches and spots are subsiding. --Being overly cautious ive increased the dose of Ca/Mg/Fe to 4 mL/gal incase spots are actually a Ca/Mg/Fe deficiency from explosive growth. 7/31/19 -Cream Cookies is showing beautiful pre flowers. Still recovering from light stress. Looks very similar to nutrient burn but only present in tip most growth suggesting light burn. 14 inches was way too close-vacation problems lmfao -defoliation done on both cheese and cream cookies to expose bud sites -LST done on both cheese and cream cookies to bring bud sites into the light -both plants fed 400 mL Week 5 nutrient solution-when I mix next weeks nutrient solution im going to reduce the concentration to 12mL/gal w/ 3mL/gal Ca/Mg/Fe. --I want to precent any nutrient burn plus plants are slightly stressed from defoliation and light burn from my vacation. -lamp raised to 19 inches to help aid in stress relief -plants are responding in a weird way to the watering. Not in a bad way-but in a different way--larger lower leaves are not drooping like in the past its just the much newer growth is drooping. Makes sense since newer growth has less developed support system. Makes me feel much better about my watering schedule. --Clawing which I suspected was due to light stress is getting better-especially after a feeding. 8/1/19 --Calcium deficiency just barely showing on midlevel fan leaves. Good thing calcium is a mobile nutrient. Going to readjust the nutrient solution ph to be 6.2-6.3. Been accidentally locking out calcium. --Defoliation done on both plants to expose more bud sites and to thin out the thick canopy so light can penetrate below. The hope is to defoliate correctly. If done right I won't have to lollipop. --Cheese has no preflowers yet--still in veg --Cream cookies looks like it started flowering. 2 preflowers were spotted earlier in the week. Surprised to see how fast the plant moved into flowering. Going to be feeding it with flower nutrients starting week 6. --Going to continue feeding cheese with veg solution until preflowers are observed.

It's time to go to the pots😎 The feeding is ready. Lego sensor hub is ready. Lego supportive construction is ready to help the one that grows rapidly and has no strength enough to withstand those artificial wind :P Buds generating process initiated 😻

All going well here with these ladies 😎🌿 the buds have been swelling up day by day hour by hour and they are very stinky with tons of crystals and trichromes covered from head to toe. The Colorado Cookies are by far some of the gassiest flower I've grown by far. Their bud structure is very fat and dense also quite big too while the buds on the Banana blaze has tons of hairs which are starting to turn orange with a hint of banana and citrus by scratching the stalks to smell the terpenes.

These girls are just days away from harvest! I will closely monitor their pistils, calyxes & trichomes throughout the week so I can determine exactly when to give these girls their two days darkness before chop! They are all starting to fade out really nice and the smell just keeps getting stronger each and every day! After this last feed/flush I will only give these girls R/O-Distilled Water with nothing added whatsoever. Please enjoy the videos I posted of the girls! Thought I’d add some music to the videos vs loud condenser microphone picking up fans 🤣 Only videos for now, I will post actual pictures and macro shots throughout the week before harvest. Update: 9/7 The pistils and trichomes are about right where I want them. I’d say I have about 90% Cloudy, 7% Clear & 3% Amber Trichomes. A majority of pistils have gone from white to amber and have retracted. The girls have stopped drinking water so I transferred them to my darkroom to finish off for two days. After the two days I will chop and hang at 67°F @ 55%RH for 8-10 days until the stems begin to snap.

first strain runtz start 11/03 indoor, now outdoor guerrilla... hope for a good season second strain watermelon zkittlez, hope for better wheater (actually indoor). sicilianguerilla

First week of flowering coming along slowly. Decided to get a second SF-2000 as it is really needed to flower what I have decently, on order hopefully I can get it before next week.

18 weeks from seed to harvest. Love 34 street seeds, quality genetics for a fair price. These garlic cookies showed no disease or pest issues, no mold or powdery mildew. Easy enough to grow, no surprises, no super stretch in flower, but I would recommend training or SCROG to control them. Pungent Pine is what I am callling this smell, over 800 grams wet weight. They are hanging to dry in my tent as I write this, 60 %RH and about 71 degrees of freedom units! Can’t wait to try it out 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Once again these girls don’t really need much just watering when dry but other than that we are on cruise mode. I have been checking trichomes for about a week now and man is she almost there I should be giving them lights out with in another week or two can’t wait

Die Lady wird am Wochenende erlöst, die Mängel konnte ich nicht beheben, weder calmag, Calcium oder bittersalz konnten helfen. Vermutlich sind in der einen Woche vor der Blüte einige Wurzeln verfault, als sie 6-8 Tage zu viel gegossen wurde.

Okay so it’s that time I’m excited just changing fertilizer...lol😂...so this week I gave them tones of water (60 gallons each in 2 days ) to help them take the new fertilizer and I never switch straight from veg to bloom I always give them gradually so it’s half and half week( still veg fertilizer but she getting bloom juice to !!🤓 #1 is now 95” tall she’s a monster and she looked like an 8’ Christmas tree 😍 I’m gonna have to started tying those branches soon before I can’t reach in there’s I’ve got a little outbreak of aphids and because getting in flower don’t want to use soap or end-all so ice cold water in a spray bottle blast that on them the don’t like ice cold water and will fall of your plants🤪

Y nos fuimos a floración!! 🍀👨‍🌾🏻

I busted myself up so havent been able to get into the grow much for a couple weeks. They are definitely thirsty and not getting enough water so will water more deeply next time around a gallon per tote a day.

48 horas na água em local escuro. Menos de 48h em papel toalha. Sem qualquer tipo de aditivo.

Seconda settimana di solo acqua, sono al 78 giorno e la pianta continua a fare crescere nuove gemme nella cola principale, è la mia prima coltivazione e sono completamente inesperto, ho fatto germinare il seme in un panno umido, messo in un bicchiere e dopo 2 settimane circa lo ho travasato in un vaso da 6l con del terriccio comprato al discount e ( 6 uova marce ) non ho utilizzato nessun fertilizzante per la fase vegetativa e innaffiato con acqua del rubinetto. Dopo la 5 settimana sono spuntati i primi peletti bianchi e allora ho utilizzato Easy Bloom boster fioritura di RQS per altre 4/5 settimane, poi ho comprato un misuratore di pH digitale scoprendo che il pH dell'acqua era superiore al 7,5 adesso utilizzo del succo di limone per abbassare il pH fino al 6,2. La pianta non ha mai sofferto nulla è sempre stata forte e mi ha sorpreso nella resa, cime sempre più grosse e profumate. Adesso però non so quando tagliare e come, stavo pensando che ormai è giunto il momento

Dia 56 las plantas se ven muy sanas y bien, los rebrotes empiezan a desarrollarse ya terminamos con la poda de rebrotes interiores en las ramas, ahora queda esperar que empiece la fase de floración, yo creo que en la White Noise y en la 1051 empezará antes a florecer que la glowstarz ya que sus geneticas son indicas. Estan muy grandes y se ven muy bien seguimos trabajando 💪🏼💪🏼

She is still in a nice routine of having 2/3 liters every 2 days. Like clockwork. Will be using overtime instead of big bud in a week. Finally stopped growing vertical growth I believe at 37 inches, now I'm excited how fat these buds are gonna get. The 5 gallon has so many Colas they are beautiful. Day 45 - Buds are really starting to fill in and fatten up. Drinking 3 liters every 2 days now with pots drying out fully Day 47 - my 3 gallon pot i am feeding half dose nutes compare to the 5 gallon pot which is needing more N. she is much more thirsty drying out faster too. Makes sense she is double the size in all ways.
