Don't mind the additional plants, they'll be joining along but won't be a focus in this journal. By this point, all of the plants are really upping their drinking frequency. I can tell by next week, I'll be watering every day. Seriously loving this pairing of nutrients together. A huge note to make though, is little pistils are popping up everywhere now! It'll be two weeks - max - before we are in flower! The health of all of these girls really makes the transition, that much more exciting! Got 4 really similar plants and 2 uniques to fill in the gap. My headcanon is treating all of these Ethos plants as rare items - like in a videogame 😂. Given how expensive these genetics are, it's kind of true lmao. One relevant footnote I wanted to make was that the Banana Dad Photo seems to have far thicker fan leaves than the autoflower counterparts at this stage. You can see it quite prevalently in the overview photo for the week. Tucking the autos has been very painless, and an emergency defol.(to get light where it needs to be) doesn't seem to bring any drawbacks. The photo seems to be recovering still from removing one of the main fan leaves about a week ago. Visually, she seems a bit behind the Banana Dad auto I refer to as BR, just with larger fan leaves. Either way, I'm sure they'll stretch a decent amount within the next two weeks. I also raised the light up a bit more, to hopefully encourage just a bit more vertical growth during the trans. stretch. Day 44 from seed update: All of the girls look great! As a matter of fact, there are actual buds now! And it may be hard to see, but there's a slight blue-ish hue appearing on the older fan leaves - A similar thing happened to my Early Lemon Berry just before she went completely purple/magenta. I'm also welcomed to a sweet grape scent now every time I open the tent, really pleasant. Things are going quite smooth during transition, within the next two weeks, I'll be removing XSD from the schedule(recommended according to Labmor). Then it will just be BSM and Liquid Seaweed until it's time to give em' the chop! Cheers all! Excited for what's to come. Stay safe & blessed!😄😷🙌

Pretty quiet week in the tent. We did a little defoliation during the middle of the week but they are already full little bushes again. We raised the light up a bit to try and get them to stretch from the pots so we can lollipop in a few weeks. Our soil plants are doing very well too, @Foxfarm has really proven to be a great soil and the northen soul strain loves it. The smell inside the tent is definitely strong and they have been drinking alot more water.

Hi all. Hope you enjoyed your week. This week my Gorilla glue Autoflower did well I can say. Got a bit off nute burn on day 36 after watering on day 34. But thankfully my Beautiful and Strong plant make true quickly after flushing her with 15 L off PH-6water. And she's gone from strength to strength every day after that little nute burn. Buds sites forming nicely, trichomes started growing and with an explosion. Stayed nice and green. Overall very happy 😃. Look at the Pictures and decide yourself guys. Good luck growing and Relaxing 😎. Have a great week everyone.

Day 71: The left plant is starting to show some of the same problems I see on the right plant so I am going to flush her too tomorrow. I think that it is mostly due to the light stress from before, it is just showing now, but to be safe she gets a flush too @5.8 ph Day 73: Hmmmm... It is difficult to see if the problem persists, or its just the affected leaves that will not recover. Should I remove these "sick" leaves? - They seem to be happy abut the new light intensity as some of the problems is defiantly improving like the leaves are praying, and the sides of the leaves does not seem to bend as much. I have been very gentle with the feeding, after having done 3 flushes (15L at 5.8 ph) and have updated my feed schema above Day 75: I am sure that I had some light-stress, and it is over now, but I don't think I see a full recovery.... I think I see the leaves to get more yellow but it might just be as mentioned before, that the sick leaves won't recover but I do not know what to do from here. Should I just leave them, or do you growmies have any suggestions? The grow has, and is, very slow in my opinion but I still see progress UPDATE: I decided to doe some heavily defoliation. It might have been too much for the left one. I haven't done much defoliation, but they where so bushy, that I thought it was necessary to get light on all my buds. Also I wanted to get rid of those "sick" leaves. I think I am on the right track, and the symptoms I see are old problems now

Keeping my lady happy is a full-time job full of surprises, sometimes heavily exhausting long hours. I'm giving all my love to them. So thankfully, Respect and Love for my family for keeping me able to spend hours daily. 🌅🙏🤙 Unfortunately, grow diaries crash every time I update nutrients and photo 🤷

Started the flush for these 2 now! They’re frosting over with so much trichromes and smells quite like citrus haze and sherbet on Aroma! Very interested to see how these buds fatten up! Stay tuned. Hopefully get some decent fades

👍 10/15/2020 It's been 3 weeks since last update so 33 weeks got 2 weeks I think ? Feed some 4-9-3 happy frog 3 tbls and 3 tbls of (DE). 3 weeks left at most. 10/16/2020 There is some nasty weather on the way so I am going to bring her in for the finish going to get out a scope tonight and have a good look at her. But I think two weeks left, also will be under a 11-14 cycle till done. Her mother plant thrived under this light and microclimate. Ps. She's expected to be (FLOWERING!) 10-12 week strain So calyx swelling soon🙏 I almost forgot, she smells like Juicy Fruit gum. Smoked something similar in the 1980's and been searching ever since! Hope she tastes as good as she smells 10/26/2020 Its been 9 weeks and 4 days since start of flower buds are getting harder everyday maybe a week to go. 10/29/2020 10 weeks on the nose. Just water,water and water this week took some branches 2 weeks ago very good for no cure just dried, but With a good trim, and cure should improve over the next couple weeks. Harvest may come this week but we will see🙏

Hi gromies! Been away for a while but back at it again with some improvements to my set up. First of all bought a new tent (Homebox ambient 120×120×220) which has had a HUGE impact on controlling the plants' grow environment. Also bought a new blower (Primaklima whisperblower 800m³). This is really an overkill but it is really easy to keep the temperatures in control with it. In addition I got myself a Lunatek 315 CMH lamp for veg. A great improvement for my vegging. Been thinking about using my CMH lamp alongside with my two LEDs, but haven't had the balls to start messing around, until I have some more info in this area. I am just starting week 7 and now the ladies have started to gather some volume. It's looking really nice so far. My first time growing one single strain (gorilla zkittlez from Barney's farm)😄. It is really interesting to see different fenotypes in a single strain! Two of the plants are significantly lighter shade of green than the other three. I am hoping to see purple colouring in, at least, one of these plants as the grow proceeds. So far everything looks ok.

Si it's been a pretty good week. Getting very impatient at the moment. Trying not to dwell on my plants too much, I just need to leave them to finish maturing. Iv pretty much started flush now for 2 weeks so that will take me to the end of week 8. Update - Monday So my thoughts have been drifting towards the next round. Iv been writing a list and so far Iv decided I want to explore organics further so will most likely be amending my soil with dry amendments such as different meals. I also would like to make better use of microbes so I will most likely be using at least recharge. Hopefully mammoth p also but I'll buy that one as I need it further down into the bloom phase. Something else I also really want to try next cycle is the use of other crops to help with IPM and also help feed the soil. Two I have decided to use already are basil, which is meant to be great for keeping bugs away and also garlic. I want to try and use crops that I will also want to eat that's why I decided on garlic. I'd also really like to try and grow a couple vegetable plants alongside my cannabis but I am a little unsure of which plants will also grow happily with the same light cycle as cannabis. IRS a bit of a strange light cycle for here in England so I'm unsure of what to grow but I'd love it if I could grow some squash, corguettes or aubergine. These are my staples for my diet so these would be incredibly handy. I am about to move so will have a dedicated small room or large walk in cupboard, depending on how u look at it. I would love to be able to make slightly better use of the space and if I can feed myself even a few times from them as well as them improve my cannabis via post resistance and resin production (they use companion crops in lavender production to raise essential oil production) then it seems silly not to do so. It will be I interesting to pick out cover crops for my 12/12 larger flowering space, but also for my 18/6 space to grow alongside the autos I plan to grow in there. Obviously different light cycles will let me do different plants. I think it will take more initial planning on my part, but I feel once I have it all dialled in after 4 or 5 runs it will be a lot cheaper and much more sense sustaining. If anyone reads this and knows of any decent potential companion crops I can use please message me. Like I say garlic and basil so far but have heard beans are a great way to get lots of nitrogen in the soil so they might be a good one for the 18/6 tent. Also I was thinking and I'm a little unsure of when I'm going to want to harvest so I've decided to leave a week between harvesting each plant. First one will be pulled this weekend at week 7 of flower then week 8 of flower for the next and the last will be week 9. That way I can sample over the coming weeks and decide which I prefer for the next cycle. Update - Tuesday got my jewelers loupe today but i think im going to buy a usb microscope instead, as its really difficult to hold it steady enough for long enough to be able to tell whats going on with the trichs. i tried to shoot a few pics through it on my phone with limited success. I think there are about half trichs cloudy atm, maybe slightly less but like i say its hard to tell. Update - Friday Ok well yesterday i caved and harvested and hung plant 1 of 3. Couldn't resist. Now that I have this one to fuxk about with I'm less inclined to want to bring the others down. Smells unbelievable pinot, fruity and skunky. Have just used a cardboard box with lines strung through the top to hang from. The plants were so small and had no side branches so I had to tie it to the stem from the lines. Not a lot on it I dont think but the main cola was pretty chunky. Interestingly the topped plant had more tops obviously and also has some mad side branching that's at the same level as the main colas and they are all about the same size as the one cola on the non topped plant. I half expected it to just be double the size of the topped but less of them. Note to self for future reference: Always top plants Use bigger pots

The final Week, before harvest! She has some massive towering buds! 2.5 gallons of water is lasting this plant 5-6 days before drying out, and ready for more.. She was harvested instead of being watered!

I wish I would of taken pics of them before I trimmed them up because they were a massive bush!!! At this point im satisfied with the number of potential cola's and size of the branches. I can already see preflowers coming from some of the nodes which is crazy because i've never seen any of plants in history doing this. Its also the first time i've taken veg past 3-4 weeks but mainlining does extend the veg time some. Today i've switched to 12/12 so next week will be the first update of flowering!!! quite excited to finally get to this stage.

Most of the girls have been switched to straight fresh water at this point, with the exception of the few that look to need another week or two before flushing. Dropping the room temps and tossing a few ice cubes on top of tops before watering.

Světlo jede na 50% a teplota stoupla na pouhých 23,3°C přes den. Doufal jsem trochu víc ale nic s tim bohužel neudělám D29: 3 dny po přesazení holek do 11 L květináčů Shogun 5 a Haze Berry 1 mají na spodních listech trochu popálené konečky 😓 , ale jinak vypadají spokojeně. Asi jsem použil trochu více BioBizz Worm Humus během přesazování. Zbylé holky vypadají velmi spokojeně a mají sytě zelené listy které jsou naprosto bez vady 😍 7 rostlin má momentálně 5 nodů jedna rostlina už 6, takže v druhé polovině týdne začnu s vytvářením potrubí na main-linning. Už se nemůžu dočkat až začnu s tréninkem 😍 D31: Každá rostlina zalita 500ml čisté vody bez živin D33 čtvrtek: Holky jsem zastřihl u 3. Nodu a vyčistil od zbylého porostu. Ponechal jsem pouze přilehlé listy u rostlin s menšími větvemi. Povedlo se mi zlomit jednu větev u Haze Berry 1 během LST :'( zranění jsem ošetřil ale po 8 hodinách je zřejmé že větev nepřežije :'( Vysadil jsem 3 semena Sweet Orange XL od českých pěstitelů z Natural Seeds jako náhradu za zlomenou větev Každá rostlina dostala 1L vody s živinami které můžete vidět v tabulce D35: Vyklíčila všechna semena Sweet Orange XL. Všechna ve stejný den :)

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
