10/5 Day 31. I've added a dehumidifier now that the plants are starting to show signs of pre-flower or flower. Maybe one of the expert growers can let me know. :o) 10/6 Day 32. I did some more defoliation to open up the air flow at the base of the stem (mini lollipoping). I also re-arranged the pots and lifted the air pumps so that I could have more room for training them. This should also improve air flow. I moved the rotating fan so that it is pulling air from the lower tent intake. Move the 6'' hurricane fan so that it is blowing down at the center of the tent. More LST training after giving everyone some more "elbow" room! I will allow them to recovery for a few days after the defoliation, but will keep adjusting the LST wires. - Added 1 gallon of purified H2O to each plant. No signs of any deficiencies on the leaves. Nice and Green with new nodes popping up (I think). Red - PH 5.54 TDS 703 EC 1.459 Blue - PH 5.77 TDS 735 EC 1503 Yellow - PH 5.6 TDS 693 EC 1.482 Blue (runt) is finally showing a growth spurt and has almost caught up to Red who seems to have healed from the partial stem tear. Yellow seems to still be the front runner in size and horizontal stretching. I will continue to train them until they definitely show signs of vertical growth and bud formation. At that time I will switch over their feeding to decrease N and increase P & K. SO far the GHE products are doing well, I might switch over to advanced nutrients for the next grow. Roots in all 3 pots are filling up and are still nice and white. Thankfully I am able to keep the water temp around 74-75 F. The UC Roots product is doing it's job as well. As of right now I'm not using any type of extra CO2 generator, but have watched some videos on You Tube on making a DIY. I wish there was more community involvement on questions and the need help section of this site. Also a lot of the You Tube sites that claim to cater to the "beginner grower" seem more interested in their "hip" music selection, video shots of their plants, and talking a lot of nothingness just to get viewers, verses providing quality content to really help the newbie growers. Ok off my soap box. I am really enjoying this grow and today after spending about an hour in the tent it was quite relaxing and therapeutic tending to the plants. 😊 10/7 Day 33. Rest in Peace Eddie Van Halen! Your influence in rock and roll will always be remembered! Feeding day! I am liking the 4 day schedule giving them 1/2 of the weekly recommended amounts per a consensus of growers who all say it's better to feed a little less, and make any additional increases as needed. The extra day helps to spread it out too. Also the importance of looking at the plants daily to see if there are any issues. Yellow is drinking more water that the other 2 and is still the front runner in overall growth and size. To think Yellow almost didn't make it past the seedling stage due to a "stretching bend" injury during week 1. - Amounts total in 4 gallons. UC Roots 8ml, CalMag 5ml, Micro 6ml, Gro 2ml, Bloom 6ml. These amounts are overall as the pots have 4 gallons of water in them. I adjusted to pot size in the description above. I made some small adjustments to the LST wires. All of the plants are now competing to who will become "Top Cola." I've also decided to name the plants per their growing pot color. Ruby, Bertha, Yuki. I picked Bertha as she was the runt, hopefully the name with inspire a great weigh in on dried flowers! 10/8 Day 34. Plants showing some signs of heat stress. I raised the lights up 2 inches. Now that I'm in flowering, heat and humidity reduction will get more of a focus. Tested the PH and it dropped to 5.2. I re-calibrated the pen just to make sure. Since they are starting to really drink more water I added 1/2 gallon of regular tap water that had been de-chlorinated. Checked PH 3 hours later and it is back up to 5.8. I have some PH up solution that I use for the aquarium, so will decided if I should adjust PH with watering using purified store water to lower PH and tap water to raise it since I anticipate them needing a gallon of water added every other day. Or I could just PH up the store bought water. 10/9 Day 35. Heat stress seems to be subsiding, but have noticed a few of the leaf tips are showing signs of nute burn. Overall they are looking great. I will monitor the leaf's for any additional issues. I know autoflowers like to be under feed compared to what the fertilizer companies recommend. I might look at going to a feed every 5 days using 1/2 of the recommended feeding amounts, along with seeing what the plant leaf's, water chemistry is telling me. As this is my first Cannabis grow it feels like I'm trying to "learn how to fly this particular model while I'm building it!" Anyone else feel like that on their 1st grow? 10/11 Day 37. All is growing well. Added a mixture of store water and tap to make adjustments to PH dropping. Each girl needed 1 gallon of water. Flowers are starting to grow :O) Ruby - PH 5.0 TDS 786 EC 1.651 (added PH up water to correct and an extra dose of 5ml UC Roots) Bertha - PH 5.96 TDS 858 EC 1.831 Yuki - PH 6.09 TDS 753 EC 1.725 Week 5 Lessons Learned: 1. Bought some Botanicare Silica Blast for the next grow. 2. Need to ensure the lid holes for adding water, and the air stone line is placed correctly with the water level sight guage. Yuki (Yellow) will need a new lid for the next grow. 3. More and a bit larger bore drill holes for the LST tie down points on the edges of the lids.

They are still not too happy with me... Not liking the nutrient strength I choose again.. So after 24hrs of just ph water and 1/4 strength hydroguard. No change I thought they would appreciate just water and a root stimulate. But no change in root or plant mass. Looking like they are very stunted from nutrient burn. So moving forward I went with same strength as the 1st feeding that they liked. But I did it in a hurry before work and realized after the fact that I put that same amount I put before but didn't account for lowering the water level to 3.5 gal from 4gal. So end up being slightly stronger then before. I did add 0.5ml of hydroguard to each bucket. Also added 0.5 of bud candy to each bucket. But hoping they work with me fingers crossed. 4/12/2023 5.8/72°F/221(Left rear) 5.8/72°F/227(Middle front) 5.8/72°F/214(right rear) No sign of transitioning to flower yet. 4/14/23 Colorado Cookies recovered and jumped like a inch looking alot better! Overall Height 3.5" And I noticed that there was some growth in the root zone. But noticed there is something going on with the upper leafs. Runtz Seems to be recovering but still a little rough. Overall Height 2" But I did notice the roots mass did not change and they still appear to have the brown tint and seems to have gotten slightly worse toward the bottom of 6"net basket. I believe that's contributing to the slow recovery. Still looking alot better tho. Banana Purple Punch seems to have bearly changed at all. There's very slight growth in center. No change to root mass at all. Overall Height 1.5" Found some very helpful information on measuring EC instead of ppm and how to monitor EC and Ph. So will be doing this moving forward. I'm going to redo Banana's bucket to exactly what I gave the 1st time she was happy but this time accounting for the .5 gal change in water level. I'm also looking into if I can use the hydroguard at full strength on nutrient burned autos since its not a nutrient for the plant. But I need to fight the brown roots in runtz tonight. See if I can't get all three happy! And save this grow to a more acceptable outcome. Stats 4/14/2023 6.25Ph/72°F/222ppm(runtz) 6.33Ph/72°F/218ppm(banana) 6.28Ph/72°F/215ppm Cookies I added 1ml total hydroguard to all and added .05 total calmag to all and ph to 5.8 4/15 I changed the water on all buckets. raised the water level back to 4 gal on Banana since it has the smallest root mass. And put full strength hydroguard and full strength rapid start in all buckets amd ph to 5.8 and left it for 24 hrs. I made a floral spray of armor si at 0.33ml to full spray bottle. Wet em down good. Twice today. 4/16 I noticed Banana's leaf tips began to droup a little. So lowered water back to 3.5 gal and mixed the nutrients for 3 gal to be safe and leave ppm for cal mag and bud candy without nutrient burn. Added 0.5 cal mag and 0.5 bud candy. I trimmed all the burned leaf tips off, so I can see if and when it burns again. And since it was the best my test has looked yet I took a video and some pictures. But still need to figure out whats going on with Colorado cookies. Has spotty yellowing. Thought maybe light burn. So checked and raised like a inch or so. But there leafs below that are almost fully yellow. Like nutrient deficiency. Trying to read her but not getting it yet. gavw them a spray of armor si. 4/17 ph to 5.8 bucket stats. Sprayed with armor si 6.1/74°F/200ppm/425uscm/0.85EC(Runtz) 6.3/72°F/207ppm/440uscm/0.88EC(Banana) 6.0/74°F/210ppm/446uscm/0.89EC(cookies) Thinking about LST cookies and pull top down. But want to address the yellowing 1st. 4/18 I changed the water in buckets to just water with 50ml hydrogen peroxide 3% to 3.5 gal water and left it for 3 hrs. During this 3 hrs I turned both fans off and made a foliar spray with 0.30 ml gh flora trio and 0.25 cal mag and sprayed them down and turned the light off for 3 hrs. So after the 3 hrs peroxide treatment. I changed water out with fresh water and did my nutrient differently. I got the EC of my tap water whixh was between 0.19 and 0.23 between the buckets. Then I added cal mag to 0.5EC And added nutrients base and additions to a EC of 1.0. Then I added 4ml hydroguard to 3.5gal. And ph to 5.8 Banana 0.19EC 3.5ml cal mag 3ml GH Flora Trio 1.5ml Bud Candy 1.5ml Rapid Start 0.25ml GH Flora Macro 4ml Hydroguard 7.4ph 242ppm 517uscm 1.0 EC Cookies 0.23 EC 3.1ml cal mag 3.1ml GH Flora Trio 1.5ml Bud Candy 1.5ml Rapid Start 0.40ml GH Flora Macro 0.42ml GH Flora Gro 0.25ml GH Bloom 4ml Hydroguard Ph 7.3 235ppm 500uscm 1.0EC Runtz 0.22EC 3.2ml Cal mag 3ml GH Flora Trio 1.5ml Bud Candy 1.5ml Rapid Start 0.25ml GH Flora Macro 0.40ml GH Flora Gro 0.25ml GH Flora Bloom 4ml Hydroguard 7.4ph 235ppm 500uscm Ph all to 5.8 That was last night at 11:30pm This morning at 5:20am stats 4/19/2023 5.9/74°F/238ppm/506uscm/1.0 EC(Runtz) 5.9/73°F/232ppm/493uscm/0.98 EC(Banana) 6.0/74°F/232ppm/493uscm/0.98EC(Cookies) Ph To 5.8

I had to remove some yellowing leaves... I am not sure if the plant is just too tightly packed around the edges or if I am not feeding her enough nutrients. I have started giving her BioBizz Grow (1st last night) since I've read it is mostly just molasses and should be supplied not only during "growth" - e.g. the vegetative phase. On the buds - the leave edges have started to turn a nice shade of purple. I usually only water exactly the required amount - so 1l for my 15l pot. At the beginning of this week I decided to do a small flush - as per grow question recommendation. I only used 25l to my not completely full 15l pot (I am guessing 10-12l earth) with rain-water and checked the runoff: PH=6. PPM dropped from 1800 to <400ppm at the end. She has started to smell very tropical the last few days... With humidity levels hitting 80% outside - my little 25W dehumidifier can't keep up... I keep my fans on and hope for the best. Soil is still wet from the flush - might try the Seedhunter's recommendation and not water for 5 days. Looking back - I really should have noticed the whitening tips 2 weeks ago... last week I should have made the connection of "burnt leaf tips = overfeeding" - but nooo. =) I have been making the same mistake as with my last grow - I watered exactly what she was drinking... 1l/24h. So salt could build up and the magic marker is 10 weeks. This is when "watering wrong" shows... Day 87 (Friday): still no signs of drought stress so I will water with low nutrients maybe tomorrow... I got this tipp from Greenhouse Seed Co. / Seedhunters plus check this out if you are coming from academia: https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/article/3-tips-for-controlled-drought-stress-cannabis/ The tropical smell is noticeably less now... Day 88: watered for the first time after 5 days with ~3l of rain water - and some nutrients. There is a lot more purple on the upper leaves now.

The smell is in full force dank skunky orange When I rub a bud you can really smell the sweet orange The crystals are just insane . The buds are gaining weight now still have 3 or so weeks so I’m not too worried All in all a good week Cheers friends.

Day 50 - Added another dehumidifier to the closet and now the RH is 53/55% under the canopy and 60/62 above it. Wish it was good enough to prevent mold and pests. The ladies are growing a lot, think we'll have big chunky colas if everything goes well! 🙏😍 Day 52 - Today I defoliated the ladies a little bit to allow more light penetration 💪 Day 56 - End of week 8. The girls are doing good: the PL keep on getting weight and developping bigger flowers, the Gelato is 1 or 2 weeks behind her, she has been in vegetative stage for longer and she's still stretching! Now she is about 20/25cm to the light but she seems to handle it. Light at 85/90%.

The blue kush is a savage auto from dinafem. This plant almost died in week one of flower and I missed that weeks entry because I was more interested in saving it than that weeks diary. She’s at week three day four and a beast. Filling out nicely even though her neighbor is crowding her. She’s required very minimal pruning and all of her bud sites are producing worthy keepers.

-Cotton Pad method - before putting them into cotton pads soak seeds in bottled drinking water - !!! DO NOT SOAK THE PADS !!! - just give them a few gentle sprays with a mist sprayer then put 2 seeds in 2 cotton pads like a sandwich and spray that sandwich again. - put cotton pad Sandwich in baggie with little opening for air circulation and spray into baggie one Last time - everything together in an dark medium warm spot and wait for about 24-48 hrs

A-Week 10(Day 74), B&C-Week 10(Day70) A- Still fattening up, took a Growmie’s advice, she was a little over fed, eased back this week on the nutrients and just used water and Sensi CalMag Extra. Gave her a regular dose Friday and she seems good, no new discoloured/burnt leaves. Tricomes are still showing as clear and cloudy mixed in with a few amber here and there. Watching closely to when I feel she is done, then I will start a water flush cycle for the last few feeds… B- Is looking great, doesn’t seem to have slowed down one bit, hard to tell sometimes when you are looking at them so frequently, but week to week you can see the stack grow 😍 Defoliated a little, and pulled her branches down a bit to let in more light, otherwise she’s chugging along! C- Is making me wonder how much she will produce?! Big colas all around, from 10-14 inches long 🤩Stacking very well, and loving the Indo Nutrient line. She’s a big drinker, takes almost a full gallon every 2.5 days. I figure it will be at least 1-2 weeks longer to harvest than A… Happy Gardening Growmie’s 🌱😎💨

There's a blank week, sorry about that. There are detailed pictures and explanations of the current situation. At this point, the older plant seems to be doing fine. However, the younger plant's growth has definitely slowed down. Suspecting potassium deficiency, that's why I increased the nutrient amount. But K deficiency might not be the only thing that's wrong. My pH levels should be fine, got a new meter and did calibrations regularly.
