Day 50! Start of week 8! I am watering with only 3800ml water and enough Bokashi Tea to get my PH to 6.5. The Bokashi Tea is derived from fresh Mango, Pineapple, Cantaloupe, Banana, Apples, Basil, Potato, and Inoculated Bran. In my opinion, “Terp Sauce”, helps insanely with the terps and many other things. Camera work is not my strong point. Day 53 Gave 3800ml of water with only enough Bokashi Tea to PH water to 6.8. Day 56 Gave 3800ml of water with only enough Bokashi Tea to PH water to 6.8.

Very happy with the Sour gorilla. Buds are rock hard and smell sweet and a little gassy. The flavour when smoking has more sour and gives you the lip smacks.

No problems this week, plants growing extremely well. Unfortunately, I was not able to set up a drip system yet. The only training I did was to tuck the fan leaves a bit, next week I will start LST. I used a foliar spray this week in the days that I feed the plant. DAY 22 - Nutes PH - 6.04 Solution Temp - 20 PPM-1500 Watering Volume per plant - 3L DAY 25 - Water PH - 5.92 Solution Temp - 20 PPM-570 Watering Volume per plant - 4L Plant B is about 20cm Height and Plant A is about 22 cm Height.

Buds are now looking ripe. The trichomes are mostly milky and senesance has set in nicely. Pushing until i start seeing 1 or 2 Amber's and then will induce 48hours of darkness to attempt to increase thc production before harvest

######################################### HARVEST (Day 93 / June 4) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x2 space because of heater and dehumidification and other plants (Outlier Z). This plant used a dedicated CMH 315 light. The plant was grown in hydroponics using a custom single-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. I also experimented with Rapid start in the RDWC system, but I didn't see explosive root growth relying on Rapid Start as an additive to the system verse using it when starting in rapid rooters which worked well. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Topped twice for a mainline structure and she really spread out. Sparkling golf ball size nugs down the branches and spaced out nicely. The scent off her was like burned rubber/tires or maybe fresh blacktop. A single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- No dark period and no flush. On day 93 she was chopped and hung to dry. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- Entire plant hung upside down for 15 days. The temps were dialed in at 60F by using the S6 intake fan pulling air from the AC through intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 7, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. Trimmed on day 18. Then the jars were left open in the tent for another 12 more days for a full 30 day dry at 60%/60F while rolling the jars frequently. Also ran dehumidifier in the tent but it only ran for 1-2 minutes every hour because the AC was doing most of the dehumidification on the intake. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- Trimming was an absolute breeze. All swelled nuggets, very little sugar leafs left to trim. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and chose not to use a boveda this time. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. Jars were left open in the tent for a total dry time of 30 days from harvest keeping the tent at 60%/60F. Once closed, the jars were burped once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange until a. 62% was maintained in the jar. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 30-day dry and 14-day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== 180.41g (6.44oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== 57g (2.03oz) ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Total: 238.41g (8.51oz) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 238.41g / 4 sqft (2x2 canopy) = 59.60g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 315 Watts / 4 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 78.75 watts per sqft. 238.41g / 315 watts = 0.76 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- Bag appeal is top-notch. Trichome covered, with aromas of that unique 'kush' you can quickly identify based on experience. Best OG Kush I've ever tried, hands down! The flavour is kushy, smoke is smooth and definitely my favorite strain in my tote of cured harvests at the moment. I can't keep my hands off of the jars. Definitely not a daytime strain, even for experienced users, although I'll use it in the afternoon when life is throwing curve balls. The effects rise you up, then sets you right down and will wash away all that anxiety after a long day. Put it this way....if I puff a few hours before bed, I still feel it the next morning when I peel my eyes open. No joke. I'll definitely be growing this one again, maybe even next run because I'll be sad when I run out. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Not running more of this amazing plant. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- This was the first run at my new residence so it will take some time to get it dialed in. I had some calibration issues which are now fixed. I'm going to be shooting for 1gram per watt on the next run. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- DarkOwl is the best autoflower I've grown yet. I'm now eager to give the Bruce Banner #3 they released a run and will surely acquire future releases from DarkOwl. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

March 13: Now that there is more space in my SOG the two Cheese in advanced bloom will enjoy more direct light. Both plants have developed a long main cola and branches with large buds. The plant placed at the edge of the sog is over 140 cm high and has just begun to show the pistils. The Cheese that I'm growing under the LED lamp is a nice thriving bush and although I wanted it to finish its full cycle under the LED it is overhanging the other plants in the grow room and so once the last three are harvested I will move it under the HPS .

💩Holy Crap We Are Back At It And Loving It💩 Growmies we are at DAY 35 and she's just killing💀it👌 👉We are in the Preflower stretch 👈 Everything is looking good even the Tiny Cup 🥤 So Shit , I gave them just a tad to much nutes on the last feeding 👈 But I have since fixed it So I'm starting to pull her over and do some low stress training 🙃 and some defolation 😳 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍rain water to be used entire growth👈 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

Stretch has finished. Starting full on bloom formula. I always use 50% of what the listed recommended amount is. Full dose is just too strong. Major defoliation three days ago. Filling in fast. Will not defoliate much now till preharvest other than removing leaves to expose bud sites. Next week is the first flower flush. 24 hours straight water, then back to nutes. Always perks them up. PPMs dropped in number 2 this week from 800ish PPMs to 600ish PPMs. 1 is a much lighter feeder. The root mass of each are so different. 2 is long like a hippy's ponytail while 1 is more like a wispy, wiry Afro. Both are healthy and continueing to stack well. Frost is showing and the aroma is quite strong already.

Hi Gromies, well sometimes I can be my own worst enemy seems I defoliated ( actually I'll blame the apprentice Urban grow cat 😺) He defoliated a little to much, it's hard to get good help these days! Anyway she got a bit of light burn directly under light bulb area. A mix of to much defoliation & I also turned light up to super lumen setting & being lazy I hadn't hooked the extraction fan & ducting up to the light ( it's an air cooled light shade) pump air from outside tent through sealed light shade & exhaust it outside. I hooked that up & raised the light around 20 cm & all is good now, some burnt leaves. She is bouncing back & grown more leaves. It may have slowed Bud development a little! I changed light cycle to 12.5 hours of darkness 11.5 hrs on to try & kick her into gear , fool her into thinking the season is coming to an end with shorter daylight hours. I may increase dark period a little more bit by bit, experiment a little, I've read of other growers who give plants less light around week 6 till harvest. She is getting a faint lemony smell. Lollipoped some of the smaller secondary branches, any tips low down not receiving much light & don't look like they will get much bigger, other than that I'm leaving her alone, probably just try & seperate any close growing colas so we don't get any Bud rot. Thanks for checking out my diary please leave a comment & some likes would be great so that myself & the apprentice grow cat can progress from apprentice stage 👍😻🙀

// Day 78 I put her inside. I know, that's cheating, but I do not care right now. The weather will be abyssymal in the next days and I do not want to keep her just in my room at the balcony door because she stinks amazing, but I can't let her stink up the apartment. And she is pretty late in flower, I really want her to work on the buds, let them thicken up and I just want to enjoy the outcome in the end. This grow is already incredibly long for an autoflower and she still needs 2-3 more weeks, when looking at her bud sites. I don't want to harvest trash buds after investing 3 to 4 months into a plant. If the weather is good again, she will be back outside. If the weather is trash with rain all day, I'll keep her in the tent. My main concern is her bud development. The sites are huge but the calyxes are just not fattening up. You can see it in the pictures, they're very airy and overall not "sexy" looking, if you know what I mean. I hope that she finishes nicely since this grow went amazing so far. She is an absolute unit and I want her to finish perfectly. Let's see how she developes in the next 14 days. With 78 days, this plant is very old, but I've seen autoflowers getting harvested after 90 days or even 100 days. So I will just keep calm for now and I try to enjoy the last 2-3 weeks of her grow life. // Day 83 She is bulking up nicely. Unfortunately, I needed to remove 1 headbud from a side stem because I saw spider mite webbing... I hate that. The other buds seem clean, in general does this strain have not many pests on it. But they managed to set up a little camp in there so I removed the whole top bud of the side branch.

I had a busy week moving the plants into NFT once roots started to show, put them into a tent give them a fan. Freebie seed shown slow recovery but decided to use it anyway.

This is my accidental topped auto flower, I have it place on a stand to get it closer tho the lights as I hurt this plant quite badly and stunted it's growth. I am switching it to 12/12 today.

Beginning of flowering phase and they already stretched 7 cm in 3 days only. The topped one reached 38 cm and the LST only is 42 cm . The smell is strating to come out , smell quite nice. Not intense yet. Fertilizers Top Vulcan 1 table spoon each. No more repetition Plagron alga bloom 4 ml & power bud 1 ml power roots 1 ml , alga grow 4 ml and vita race 4 ml. I Will repeat the same every 4 days for the for 1st two weeks of flowering . As you can see I am growing other strains but the lemon orange stand out for now. They are larger, busher and smell amazing 😍

Been a busy week here at The Garden. The autos that have popped are really starting to take off now and we've germinated seeds to make up for the ones we so ignorantly lost. This week we are cranking up the MH lights from 500w to 750w in the auto room. We started our nutrient regimen in the clone room where we have our MK Ultra clones. The mother room/closet is pretty much ready, we just need to install exhaust and a couple fans and the mother plants will be moved in. We also added 2 new aerocloners we made for about 60 bucks each. We took clones from 4 different plants and will do more later this week. They are working great and if you want to know how to build one don't hesitate to ask, I'll explain. I'll have a short video on our YouTube page soon on it as well. We also added another big humidifier we picked up for 5 bucks at an auction. That should help get the humidity up a bit, we're still not hitting our target VPD. Our environment isn't hurting us at this stage, but it could be better.

SUNDAY 4/28: I plucked off some dead leaves and did some leaf-tucking. All 4 CC's are looking good and the big one is really starting to bud up now.👍 Daytime temps are still hovering around 87-90f, but I've got them sitting in 70-72f temps for 6 hours of darkness now.😁 I did a little video today and I'll take a few "glamour shots" tomorrow. MONDAY: Today I see a bunch of crispy leaves on one of the smaller ones..guess I phuktup the PH again because they are getting fed everything they need. I douched everybody with 1/3 gallon including some boomerang, calimag, bembe, bud candy, and terpinator. No time for glamour shots... TUESDAY: Not much time for gardening today..changed out carbon filters and cleaned out the evap cooler basins. WEDNESDAY: I took some photos after doing a little training on a few of them. I have some sort of contagion in the big tent..leaves suddenly getting brown and crispy overnight on a few plants. THURSDAY: The 'contagion' seems to be spreading through the garden... I'm thinking maybe I completely PHuktup the ph when I added silica last time and didn't correct it?? Not sure...but it's sad..they're all gonna be less than photogenic for the finish...😟 FRIDAY: I plucked some dead leaves and misted everybody with perfectly PH adjusted spring water and increased airflow in the tent. Also decreased the dehumidifier to 45% RH. So far, the biggest one is the least affected. SATURDAY: I fed them all today and started the big one on Cha Ching.

Day 41: Watered all plants with 1 L with nuts 1383 ppm, 2942 us/cm, EC Day 44: Watered all plants with 1 L without nuts Day 46: Watered 9 plants with 1 L with nuts 1432 ppm, 3046 us/cm, EC Watered 3 plants with 1 L with nuts 1352 ppm, 2982 us/cm, EC (2nd week of the flower schedule) Looking good and healthy so far

Semana pre floración del 15 al 21 de marzo. Empezamos la pre floración bajando las horas de luz y utilizando Genesis. Para fertilizar utilizar media parte de grow y media parte de bloom del Snoop's Dog Premium. El 20 de marzo las podé un poquito en la parte de abajo, no estamos haciendo scrog porque al ser tan novata me dio miedo hacer el corte apical, pero la malla servirá igualmente para separar las ramas. El 21 de marzo se aplicó el jabón potásico y aceite de neem. Vi algún bichito negro y pequeño tipo mosca, no sé si será la mosca negra del sustrato porque usamos coco y no vi larvas ni daños en las hojas ni por abajo, ni por arriba. Por precaución he puesto canela en recipientes. Próximamente agregaré el deshumidificador porque por ahora, con el extractor todo el tiempo, la humedad no baja del 50-55%.
