Yeah nutrients and ppm are not accurate. It’s close enough, but it’s a rough guess off the top of my head. I’ll try to take notes right away, that way I can remain accurate. No signs of mold or mildew. No pests or bugs. A few caught in the fly traps but never any visible “free” fliers. The cold from the two days really had her looking sad and definitely upset her momentum. But now that the heater is back, she’s not freezing with a low of 50F and high of 68F. Within an hour or so of raising the temp back to 70+ (I went straight to 78F) she was looking way better, leaves peeking back up. Lights are down at 30% for the night before going completely off for 4 hours. I’d say 30% for 4 Hours, then OFF for 4, then lights back on at 30% for another 2 and then back to 60% for the remaining time. Im doing this because my Golden Goat pheno is showing increased levels of magnesium deficiency when the intensity is higher. Does that make sense? Maybe the pheno doesn’t like the high UV LED lights? The Blueberry S1 and Mandarine XL as well as the little Critical Purple auto are all managing the light fine. Except I did notice a subtle magnesium deficiency in the MXL at one point, in a few leaves. Maybe the plants would benefit from a larger vascular system?? The Blueberry S1 is just jamming! But I’m upping the CalMag in everyone to help mitigate the delay in the magnesium. YES I could give more Epsom Salt. But a moderately heavy stack of Epsom Salts with a pH of 7, on top of a pH7 foliar feed of Epsom Salt, to immediately see continued signs develop towards a deficiency suggests another element at play. Maybe it’s still not enough Epsom salts?… Or: maybe something to do with the light is creating a high demand for magnesium and thus, the output outweighs the input. Either way, I’m going to be upping the Calcium input to build a bigger vascular system to hopefully solve this dilemma. It’s only noticeable in the GoldenGoat pheno. Barely visible in the MXL and only in one or two leaves total. Whereas the GoldenGoat has every leaf that hits 40-60% maturity develops a small indication of magnesium deficiency, yet it never progresses. Anyways, the Mandarine XL Auto is cruising along just fine. Also I like the anthocyanins coming out in some leaves. Although I attribute that to the high UVs.

A week of INCREDIBLE Growth! I've turned down the intensity of the light to encourage them to stretch more towards the net. They share the 2x4 with a Photoperiod that is now 50 Days old and flipping to flower... from here on the Orange Panda will be under 12/12 until she is ready to harvest. At about 22 days old, I think she will do just fine. Thanks for looking through my diary, make sure to watch the short video to get a bit more info in a shorter amount of time. I'm not the best with writing these up, and it's more difficult only adding PH water and Recharge occasionally...

Same as there big sister, 54th day of flower.. These plants haven’t had any work done what so ever, not one leaf has been removed from the start, no folding of leaves, literally just left to flourish in there “natural” environment, and I couldn’t be more happier with what’s inbetween the “mess”😂.. buds are swollen and ❄️, stinking of 🍋.

Hello Diary. The second week of vegetation and Hulkberries is progressing wonderfully. 👌 You have grown 20 cm and the plants look happy and healthy. The temperature is slightly higher in the middle of the day when the outside temperature is also high. Sometimes it reaches 28 degrees 😎, but luckily summer is not in full swing so temperatures are acceptable. In my case, the outside temperature also affects the temperature in the box since I don’t use air conditioning for cooling. The box is located in a smaller room without windows, the temperature is not too high. I regulate the humidity with a humidifier, and it varies between 55-65%. 💪 Unlike their Green Gelato roommate, Hulkberries stretch more in height than in width. The distance between the branches is much longer than with Green Gelato. Starting this week, I started adding Fish-Mix from BioBizz. So this week they will get Fish-Mix, Acti-Vera and Bio-Heaven, 2ml / lit each. Let's take a look at the activities this week: 28/06/2020. Day 10. Watering. As I wrote earlier, the food for this week is Fish-Mix, Acti-Vera and Bio-Heaven, 2ml / lit each. P. H. I regulate with Plagron’s Lemon Kick. 02/07/2020. Day 14. Photographing, watering and measuring height. As for watering, the procedure is the same as 4 days earlier. Hulkberry #1 - 19 cm Hulkberry #2 - 20 cm All in all, everything is going well for now, Hulkberries and Green gelato have almost ideal conditions and I hope that I will continue to do so. See you next week.😀

Day 17. - The ghetto CO2 generator did it's thing! They all exploded yesterday. I fed this morning @ full strength (1mL/L) Green Buzz Organig Grow Liquid, with about 1.5tsp molasses, and 1mL of Bokashi EM Juice (not bokashi tea, but the EM inoculant). After feeding I tied up and down. Ponytails for the top fan leaves, to expose the bottom nodes. And stakes to get the bottom nodes a bit more horizontal. Tangie is probably the prettiest out of the bunch. Before our first training, she was the most symmetrical and had shown the most growth in girth. The fan leaves were definitely shading the nodes underneath though, so I'm expecting some nice growth out of those tomorrow morning, after today's CO2 session. I bumped up the smell in my diary to 'strong'. It's not flower smell yet, but the veg smell is reeking. A friend noticed it as soon as I opened my vent-room door. But the good news is that she said she couldn't smell anything before then. When I open the tent, it's so strong that it's dank already. Again, not a flower smell...but I've never smelled a stronger veg-oder than these. Nobody could ever convince me that yeast is futile or too much work. The growth from day 16-->17 was simply mind-blowing. I'm expecting more tomorrow, after the heavy feeding today. Day 20. So...some news. Yesterday I got the new fan. Freaking sweet- screw that clip on fan nonsense. And today, I've been busy. Non-tent related... I put together a worm farm. So I'm hoping for castings in a few months. Fed the bokashi bucket. I've had a problem with fungus flies (look like gnats, but live in soil). Elsewhere, notice that this falls under 'Non-tent related' :D. So I removed the top inch of soil in that houseplant, sprayed a soapy water mixture and covered with 1.5 inches of sand. I'm including this here, because I was terrified that those dudes would somehow find their way to my tent (on the other side of the house). But I think I've seen the last of them. Tent related... I watered with a nice castings tea that brewed for about 24 hours. I hope I didn't f*ck up. I hit GG and Strawberry Cheesecake with it before I pH'ed it down. So they got dosed at around 7.6. I went back to them and hit them with a cup of pH'ed tea (6.5). Then the light cut off, and it was their bedtime. I had to wait for LST until after their nap. But while they were on black out, I got a package. Some dope-AF smartplugs. I can now control my LED, my exhaust, and my air mover from my phone. There's a built in digital timer where I can schedule on/off's. And it *measures* my usage! :D How cool is that?! Welcome to the space age. I also got a USB microscope, which is also badass. So look for pics from that in the coming weeks... Later when the light went back on (courtesy of my new smartplug!) I went back and did LST and pics for today. Day 21. New dehum. It's loud AF and uses a boatload of electricity. But let's see if they look a little better, once the humidity sinks. It's been at 85-90%. It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under...

2nd time around Miss Candy Auto is doing very good. She is putting on weight in her buds and Getting very frosty. This Fall weather is much better than the dog days of summer. I stole a bud off of her so I could use my max-see to get a few close up pictures. She isn't just ready for a harvest yet but she is close! Stay tuned and Be Happy! Comments and Likes appreciated.

Still stacking up grapefruit is not as impressive as gorilla glue and strawberry pie. One of my Vivusun 315 watt CMH ballasts stopped working after only a month’s use. I’m trying to get a replacement but the company is making me jump hoops for warranty. I have had a Topolite 630w CMH for three years and it’s still working great. I cut lights down to 12/12 to see if grapefruit will start to stack up. The smell is definitely getting stronger with the sticky strawberry pie being the strongest.

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ Cette semaine j'ai été absent et je n'ai pas arroser les plantes pendant 7 jours et ce n'est pas plus mal. J'ai tendance à trop arroser habituellement. A mon retour les feuilles pointaient un peu vers le bas mais ce n'est pas grave, 24h après les avoir arroser elles me paraissaient à nouveau en pleine forme.👌 J'ai aussi essayer d'équilibrer la hauteur des plantes en ajoutant quelques sceaux en dessous. Pour ensuite ajouter un filet afin d'y éparpiller les branches.😀 Venez me voir sur instagram 🌱👌 https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ ❄️❄️❄️👨‍🚀❄️👋❄️👋❄️

06/02/2020 Gonna feed them today 1tbls of blood meal. I snapped a branch on #2 (see video) her stems, I don't like break to easy so I will give some micro nutrients to help stems from breaking. Unless she is the HOLY GRAIL. I will cull her clone. All others handed super cropping well. 🙏 #4 in hydro is in it's own diary called Small Batch Seed making some F1 #1 showed her sex today, clones well took cut on 05/20/2020 is rooting well outside in coco coir, in humidity dome just cut and scrape the stem,once rooted I cut off yellowing leaves i hope her smoke is as good as she looks. 5 days into week 10 and #2, and #4 are male so indoors they go for pollen collection. Will dust one bud of each female with each male and hunt for what I want. Also see what each passes on in the cross.

Hi everybody this week went okay I noticed she looks a bit hungry so I've risen the PPM to 800 . Ph at6.8 . I had done a second lot of defoliation to enable light to the bud sites. She smells amazing has a very complex terpene profile when I smell her she smells like cookie dough on my fingers then after a few seconds it starts to smell like lemon sherbert then after that I can smell pink grapefruit . It's amazing it's another reason why I germinated another gorilla cookies but in coco. Well that's it for this week thank you for looking at my diary will be update every week. And always keep in mind it's 420 somewhere 👑🌱

12/09/2025 19:20 Unfortunately i finished space in my phone so i stopped doing video on the last 2 plants The end Is near for the gorilla z and the frostbanger,next time will be the chop day #1 gorilla z auto 78 days from seed This plant won't stop producing new pistils but i've seen something at the apical bud that looks like a start of bud rot,so i will harvest the next time i go here Smell Is at his peak,pure z terps with a hint of funky gas #2 frostbanger auto 71 days from seed This strain has some really solid buds and the trichomes ratio Is just perfect ,10/15% amber and the rest milky with almost no clear ones Having problems with spiders as i've seen a lot of webs on a particular bud Now Is 14/09 i think this one could be chopped right now but i will give her 2 more days so i can harvest both this and the gorilla z Smell is strong for real ,citrusy sherbet like so delicious #3 Coco fresh 43 days from seed Almost fully recovered from the damage and streched like crazy Pistils now forming on every site but it is toooooooo late for this period of the year #5 Coco Milk 55 days from seed Sadly there Is just a picture but the difference from the last time is noticeable Nice bud forming but not so much in the middle of the plant so i did a bit of lollipopping,i will continue cutting the internal sites at least for a week until her stops the stretching phase Resin fountain didn't open yet but the top bud started to smell like milk and coconut ,just like her name,never smelt something like this from a plant #6 apricot auto 52 days from seed So small compared to the others but the smell i now becoming something awesome Seems to have no problem with any kind of insects and some pistils are fading yet I do not know how much to wait on her because started to flower so soon,i think/hope 2 more weeks at least #4 #7 medium gorilla z Bud 14/09/2025 Took a bud in the middle of the plant that splitted in two,i wet trimmed the little one and the big i will let dry slowly Trichomes are 60% milky and the rest more clear than amber,hope 16/09 i will see more amber and milky ones but i will cut her down in every scenario No frostbanger samples as her Is ready with lots of milk and amber Crossing fingers guys next update will be harvest,we're at the end of this journey 🤟🤟

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48” in height at maturity.
