Doing great! 1 has a nitrogen deficiency but we fixing it slowly! Way to much coco core fiber cuz I ran outta my usual stuff with that pot

First week of flowering went good, had some trouble with my ph meter again, so I ordered a bunch of ph equipment and I’m gonna start fresh with everything new. Lol sick of second guessing my crappy pens. Plants are staying pretty compact so far, they have started to stretch a little bit but we have only done a few tucks on them. They are either gonna stay short or haven’t started there main stretch yet, but we are 10 days into flip so they should be stretching by now. Time will tell I guess. Lol I removed a few of the larger guard leaves up top to open up the middle of the plants more to the light. I have around 40000 lux at the top of the netting and they seem to be taking it fairly well. I’m yet to get my water chiller installed as I’ve been very busy this month and haven’t had time to finish my DIY video for it. Lol hopefully this week we will get it installed and get our water temps down a little lower. I got some more H2O2 coming soon too so can’t wait to get using that again, plants just haven’t been the same without it, but I haven’t been able to find it reasonably priced anywhere near me in a long time. I am using UC Roots now in its place to keep my res/water clean, but it’s not as good. H2O2 has extra oxygen on top of keeping things clean, so can’t wait! Well that’s it for this week, Cheers💨

Empezamos 3ª semana de crecimiento, durante esta semana, podare los bajos y algún nudo. Tras unos días de recuperación pasaremos a floración. Se empezaron a germinar el día 10/10/23 llevamos 27 días desde que se empezó a germinar. Hoy día están siendo regadas con 1.5 de ec y 6.0 de ph, usando la gama de abonos orgánicos de boom nutrientes y CALMAG. Uso de sustrato el LIGHT MIX de GBNUTRIENTS. Son frondosas con grandes hojas, nudos muy corto entre si y además están verdes. Se nota que la luminaria hace su trabajo sin calentarse y por eso la tengo cerca de las plantas evitando que se "espiguen" **Actualización 08/11** he podado bajos de todas las plantas y alguna hoja grande que tapa las formaciones. En pasar 2-3 días para que se recuperen, pasamos a floración.

F1 Did some topping this last week. In a couple of days will turn them to flowering, would like to keep it between 3-4 weeks of veg at most with the Autopits or they grow way too big. Next week will be putting more nutes on the reservoir, by now that are drinking quite slowly but already using the Autopots

These babies were planted on 4/2, popped soil on 4/5, first feeding 4/6, fed again 4/7, looking great, loving their environment so far. Wk1, Day1, 4/6/22 Wk1, Day4, 4/9/22, second node forming on all 3 babies Wk1, Day6, 4/11/22, 3" tall End of Wk1, 4/12/22, 2nd set of true leaves forming nicely on all 3, no issues

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Tropicana Cookies Fast Flowering, de FastBuds. Los ejemplares tienen muy buen color han cedido muy uniformes y las flores están progresando a muy buen ritmo. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 21/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Van llenándose las flores de resina y van hinchando las flores, veremos estas próximas semanas como avanzan.

Week 5 of flower and stretch has been excessive in these F1 testers. Buds have been slow to develop and supercroppibg of 3 tops was necessary to maintain canopy consistency. The hollow stems are a good sign of things to come but I will say I was hoping for much better bud development. Perhaps unrealistic with this sativa dominant cross but still. I guess as long as the buds are fire, we’re prepared to deal with less overall yield. The system continues to perform admirably. It’s one major drawback is having to recirculate through an additional drainage pump. The cheap bilge pump we wired into the tray failed and flooded out a portion of the basement - my fault really as I knew the pump was crap and should’ve changed it earlier. Still can’t get past how much more simplistic a gravity dependent system is but despite that - I have no complaints about this equipment and it will get regular use regardless of any future set up changes. Alls good in da hood y’all👌🤟 Strain details She’s a mix of a particularly strong Northern Lights, crossed with a Spicy Bitch sativa hybrid. The hope is that we’ll be able to combine the overtly narcotic effects in the NL and mellow it out somewhat with the quality daytime sativa effects found in the SB. Both strains feature numerous grower qualities. Both parents possessed vigour and resiliency, the SB particularly colourful in late flower. These beans were the product of a shotgun breeding run that presented an unexpected opportunity so there’s quite a bit of testing that should flow from the various F1’s we’ve produced.

Week five of flower This week they have just been fed water by the autopots , I added a little calmag as there was a deficiency. Tomorrow I will give them a little Canna Flores as they look hungry. I clearly didn't give them enough bio bloom, in the soil. The jacks Toe jam has gone from lemon amnesia , to sweet with a little cheese aroma. So I will harvest her in the coming week as the trichomes are 90% cloudy. Apart from that another flood in the cellar so been bailing out buckets , my tent is on a pallet.

;)

5.01.23 Thursday Day 81 Well first things first, happy new year and apologies for minimal updates in December. Switched to 12 12 on Monday and scrogging it out this time round. The Runtz, seem to grow more than the cookies during veg and take up more nitrogen than then for sure, they're green as fuck. One of them (top left) has to be there greenest green I've ever seen on any plant ever. Hopefully they're gonna stretch nicely, I may have to remove some more lowers in a couple of weeks.

Day 52 - I think/hope that the stretch is over for the 3 ladies. They are still dark green but nothing new as my previous run has the same particularity. #1 The tallest has been a bit low in height by some her on he main stem to avoid any light burn from the 150w hps. She is also the most advanced in flowering one. #2 The topped one is looking strongest than the 3 others , she start to have few pistils #3 The 3rd one is growing with a natural shape, she is less dark green than the 2 others and she's not flowering yet --------- Day - 30.11 - Watered with 1.5/2L of Megacrop each at 1.5Ec and I can spot a N deficiency on the #1 And the #3 so I'll add some guano in the soil to help them in that early flowering stage 😁👍

it's a pity, but the weather is not spoiling us, this week the girl has seen very little sun :( despite everything, she is growing a little bit, from next week she promises better weather :) well, this is just a test, so I don't expect a harvest of more than 10 gr :D so everything is fine :).

More Big changes this week! The flowers seem to be growing and getting bigger every day - I anxiously look in my tent each morning to see the new developments and there seems to be new changes each time - very cool to smoke a bowl in the morning and go check your garden! I was able to get some pretty cool photos with my macro lens - I found the ONLY flower site and first signs of red colors on one of the lower flowers of Cherry Gorilla #3 - I was able to get some pretty sweet pics of that. If you have a smart phone or tablet, definitely check out some of the macro shots and pinch/zoom in! I did add a fan on the bottom blowing underneath the canopy, in efforts of opening up the stomata of the ladies. We are finally having our first relatively hot week up here and it has absolutely tested my environment management skills - AC, Dehumidifier, Fans, Window open and close - this silly temp VPD and humidity control dance all day will not be too much longer, very much looking forward to the lower temperatures of the fall and winter months! When opening up the tent - you are blasted with a unfamiliar smell that can be explained as a sweet dank. I have touched some of the lower buds on each of the plants and WOW! - They are SWEET and Cherry flavor like crazy - The GMO is just as I expected - Garlic Gas Sweetness when touching her leaves - You are left with a very sticky goo on your finger that absolutely smells of its particular strain. Again - I could not be happier with the garden, and especially this being my first grow ever. Looking forward to more changes and absolutely some input from the Grow Diaries Community!

Couple weeks from germination 🌱🎩🌈🍬

When you show love to a plant, she will do the same to you. That’s what’s happening! This gorgeous Euphoria is a gift from nature (and RQS 😄). Not much to say about the ferts, which are doing their job. Flowers are getting bigger, so yeah, cool!

Still struggling with humidity but the plant seems to be doing ok! It’s gotten lots more bushy and is starting to grow up the way a bit more which is promising. I dropped the root juice as of yesterday and trimmed down the nutrient dosage as I looked at the bio bizz feeding schedule for my soil (which is all in one) and I was slightly over doing it with the nutes. I’ve raised the lamp up on the bucket as I was afraid of lamp burn on the leaves and this has dropped the temperature inside the bucket to about 22 degrees. I’m always open for feedback since this is my first grow. Thanks guys

looking lovely. Although they still seem small. Not sure how long they will take to finish. They will probably shoot up once they get into the large air pots. Pretty happy with the progress so far though. Meaty main stems. Humidity isn't quite as high as I would like but it's a fair compromise with others flowering. As for superthrive. Does it work? Well I'm not seeing the explosive growth it promised in the root zone. But it's not really a fair trial as they've all had it.

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Gave the big girls some HST this week. Pics and video were taken 2 days after the bending. I bent the main stalk on all of the big girls, except one of the Cherry CBD plants. One Cherry CBD plant seemed to have been overwatered and bent over by its self at the base of the stem 😮. I put more soil in that pot and supported the stem so its standing upright again. I think the stem should heal itself in the new dirt and may possibly create new roots. In the veg tent its a bit of a jungle. Since the pics and video were taken I have moved 6 plants into the flowering room (its getting crowded in there). 7 of the clones seemed to have survived, 6 Cherry CBD and 1 DinaMed CBD+, they have been transplanted into 5.5" square pots also since the pics were taken. Sorry I'm a little late getting this weeks post up, I'll try to get next weeks update up quicker.
