Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the second half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: individual feeding schedule/once a week: bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Day 29 29/07/24 Monday Nice feeding today with De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Gave her 300 ml and she had a small run off. Getting chunky in the stem now 💪💚 Day 31 31/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚 Day 32 01/08/24 Thursday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening. Day 35 04/08/24 Sunday END OF WEEK 😁 De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. 300ml each. Had a issue with leaf invaders this week, I have treated and am checking every 48 hrs so far seems ok and not progressive. All plants look great, very healthy, one of the Overdose is way behind and due to space maybe culled at flower I'll see how she gets on.

Another good week with no issues. It's not growing super fast but it is growing well. I'm going to up-size into a 1 gallon pot this week and have a question. The stalk up to the cotyledons is 7cm - how deep I safely bury the stalks? I've read that some people bury the stalk up to the cotyledons but 7cm seems like a lot of stalk to put under ground.

Haven't updated my grow diary for a little more than two weeks due to a severe back flare up. Yup, bad back strain, which has made it hard to sit, lay, stand for any duration of time. Suffice to say, much has happened since last update. Bucket change and upping nutrient (ppm) levels as I transitioned her to flower. And in that time, she received one defoliation in veg and a recent (and last) defoliation in flower. At this point, I just need to maintain healthy roots, consistent environment, and proper water levels with feedings. She's due another bucket change soon as ppm levels dropping and ph is adjusting upwards every reading. This is good sign from my understanding as a first time DWC grower. As far as feeding, lowered grow big (veg) and upped both tiger bloom and beastie blooms along with a splash of big bloom and cal/mag. Topping off buckets with about 1100+ ppm, which helps maintain ph in bucket at roughly 700-800 ppm. But it's getting harder to maintain those levels in flower, so that's why I believe a bucket change is in order. Here are photos spanning the entire 2-3 week period since last update.

Se realizó una defoliación en la parte más baja y en las 2 hojas más grandes de la parte superior para que pudiera entrar de mejor manera la luz a los brotes más pequeños. Se aplicó Voodo Juice para las raíces y Top Bloom para la floración, ya todas tomaron de buena manera el cambio del fotoperiodo. Seguimos 👽 ...

The Pineapple Chunks are growing really good. I'm very impressed. I guess maximum another week of 18/6 and then it will be time to switch. I've topped them between the 5th and 6th node, giving me 8 shoots/plant to scrog. Next week the scrog screen will be installed. The cobs were lowered to 43 cm (16.9 inch) with 148 watt on day 23. DLI was 30.4 (469 PPFD) On day 27 the power was raised to 168 watt at a distance of 47 cm (18.5 inch) from the plants. DLI was 34.4 (531 PPFD) This height & wattage gives a larger coverage. The thermostat of the heating mat is set at 20°C (68 °F) I gave them ph adjusted tapwater with Plagron nutrients once this week. Rest of the week was ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.45 – ph 6) every other day. Twice a week I spray them with a CannaCure solution (60 ml CannaCure + 450 ml tapwater ph 6.1) Temperatures stayed between 22.4 – 26.2 °C (72.3 – 79.1 °F) and humidity levels between 46 – 79 % To be continued...

OMG growing Cosmos F1 from Royal Queen Seeds has been an otherworldly experience! I mean, have you ever seen a plant with a Whorled phyllotaxy mutation? It's like the angels themselves came down and blessed my garden. The Whorled phyllotaxy mutation of Cosmos F1 from Royal Queen Seeds actually produces three branches per node, resulting in more opportunities for growth and ultimately, higher yields. This unique growth pattern is truly a marvel to behold, and it's amazing to see how the three branches develop into full-fledged colas. With more branches comes more bud sites, which means more potential for trichome production and overall cannabinoid content. In fact, my Cosmos F1 is currently in week three of flowering, and I'm already blown away by how much resin she's producing. It's like she's a CBD factory or something! But seriously, growing a CBD strain has been a game changer for me. The benefits of CBD are well documented, and being able to grow my own supply has been a dream come true. Plus, the fact that she's from Royal Queen Seeds means I know I'm getting a quality strain that's been bred to perfection. All in all, growing a strain with the World phyllotaxy mutation has been an incredible experience, and I'm grateful to Royal Queen Seeds for providing such a unique and high-quality strain. I'm just thrilled with my first experience growing Cosmos F1. She's surpassed all my expectations and has me feeling like I'm floating among the stars. So here's to the cosmos, the angels, and all the beautiful buds that are yet to come! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS COSMOS F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

With her tall, typical Christmas tree structure and bright green foliage, Cosmos F1 is a testament to the beauty and vigour of Cannabis sativa. Plus, thanks to her pure genetics, which descend from Oregon CBD, she boasts the highest CBD concentration in our entire F1 seed selection. Aromas, Flavors, and Effects of Cosmos F1: A Vibrant CBD Super Variety True to the pure lineage from which she descends, Cosmos F1 boasts a delicious aroma that combines the freshness of crisp pine with the full-bodied, almost creamy aroma of modern Cookies varieties, and an unmistakable peppery bite. Thanks to her high concentration of CBD and low levels of THC, Cosmos F1 offers a balanced effect without intoxication. Cosmos F1’s terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, farnesene, limonene, pinene, and caryophyllene. Combined with high concentrations of CBD, Cosmos F1 produces a clear, meditative effect that relaxes the body while leaving the mind functioning and focused. Her effects help unite the mind and body, creating a state of cosmic order.

D33 (24/12/2020): First week of flowering. Both officially went into flower 4-5 days ago but I decided to finish the week before starting first flower week. I fed around 3L of water today, they were thirsty. I mixed full recommended dose of nutrients for last week of veg in 1,75 gal. of water. I want to go slow in reintroducing nutrients after 2 flush last week. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3L per plant, PH6.4. 600 PPM - run off: 900 PPM for Banana Kush and 800 PPM for Glue Gelato - RH: 54% D34 (25/12/2020): Nothing special today except that it's Christmas, everything is going well. RH is higher today since higher temperature where I live but nothing crazy. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 58% D35 (26/12/2020): I removed leaves under canopy today and fed with a gallon of water + minerals each plant. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3,75L per plant, PH6.8, 350 PPM - run off: 750 PPM for Banana Kush and 600 PPM for Glue Gelato - RH: 55% D36 (27/12/2020): I readjusted some ties because they are stretching like crazy! The buds are forming and more pistils are showing. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 53% D37 (28/12/2020): Still readjusting the ties and removed leaves today. The lights are now at 24 inch and plants receive around 495-525 PPFD (38 0000 to 40 000 lux). I'm aiming to go above 600 PPFD in the next week. I will check how they react with more light. - temp: 24C - no water - RH: 54% D38 (29/12/2020): I gave approx. 3.5 L of water per plant. I used 3/4 of the recommended dose for transition week. - temp: 25C - water: approx. 3.5L per plant, PH 6.4, 720 PPM - run off: 900 PPM and PH6.8 for Glue Gelato; 800 PPM and 6.8PH for Banana Kush - RH: 54% D39 (30/12/2020): Removed more leaves under canopy. - temp: 25C - no water - RH: 54%
