Environment + Pests + Setup This week (at day 31) I decided to end the battle against fungus gnats. Even after almost three weeks of dried-out soil, dozens of adult insects could be seen, which told me that there were pockets of moisture that I couldn't influence. Accordingly, I went back to the original plan I had outlined earlier: bring the system into balance and use sand and nematodes. Since I should no longer have any problems with low RH, I have also reactivated the exhaust fan, which lead to the values you can see above. Nutrients + Environment From the outset, the plants showed a slight nitrogen deficiency, which was evident in their rather pale, light green color. This is probably due to the fact that the substrate (until now) did not contain enough moisture to allow metabolic and decomposition processes to proceed efficiently. Directly after watering I got reassured that my choice was right and the soil still alive, healthy, and ready to 'get back to work': Look at the amount of springtails and how fast new growth appeared! Plants On day 30, I topped the plants. Both had already formed three nodes and started to develop healthy side branches at all of these nodes. So, according to my plan, I removed the main shoot, leaving enough space for the stump to encapsulate without damaging the healthy plant. I also removed one shoot from each of the middle nodes, as I don't want branches that already grow towards the center (the branches will grow towards the light anyway, and this way I can ensure that there is enough air circulation and room for expansion). Besides that, I sadly feel like the variegation - and genetic really - ain't stable. By the end of week 5, you could see that the offshoots differed a lot in their 'quality' (asymmetrical, some very weak, etc.), and the variegation didn't appear again. *Gorilla Z Auto was 14 cm tall, Mimosa Cake Auto 7 cm (both after topping). Thats why I wrote 10.5 cm.

She is getting fat! What a great plant she is - again, little to no deficiencies, other than some light burn but I could not complain to have such strong genetics for my first ever grow! Trichomes are not too cloudy, so still a while to go but what an AUTO!

Started off by setting up the growing environment and dialling everything in such as; RO Water for the RDWC hydroponic system. Water Heater being set at 20 degrees C. Water chiller being set at 21 degrees C. pH being set at 5.7/5.8 Room Temp and humidity 20/23 Degrees C / 60%/80%RH. Instead of using rockwool cubes to place my seeds, I put them directly into the clay pebbles. I then used a DIY humidity dome to place over the seeds until they make an appearance. I have been top feeding RO water every 6 hours. Foil was used to cover the net pot to ensure no light leaks were going into the system. Highly important in DWC. Will add some light nutrients once seeds are more established. Until the next one!

7/4/2021 - Day 43 - pistils coming in, and she’s bulking up. Had her in a tent for a few days due to shit weather but we’re back in action outside. 7/7/2021 - Day 45 - I added a few pics. she's just doing her thing. I just keep coming out every day and moving things around LSTing probably for another week or 2. There are a few nibblets on a couple of leaves but I'm done with the neem oil now that she's flowering. 7/10/2021 - Day 48 - the net is doing wonders for LST. Some branches are starting the stretch, but I’m going to do some more LST until I start seeing actual buds forming.

6/28 Week 10 and she is looking fantastic Flush continues, nothing special just one gallon of h20 twice a day. Looking at at least 3 days as tricones still at less than 100% white (@80%) Deficiencies not bad yet, still building some bud 6/29 Looking well, just a bit of CA/MG def showing. Still building Some lights out pics to show off the buds and trics **** We have determined that best practice on coco DTW is to add a low dose of Cal-Mag once a week when in final container. This will satisfy the cation sites as the coco breaks down and avoid mystery CA deficiencies allowing the CocoTek to do its work. 6/30 Just some Bud Pics 7/2 HARVEST DAY TOMORROW!

3 day into week 9 still not flowering (day 59). I don't know why this is supposed to be an autoflower that I got from homegrown cannibas Co. The white widow autoflower I got from them started to flower after about 4-5 weeks but this CRITICAL MASS AUTOFLOWER doesn't seem to want to flower and I'm doing everything the same besides the LST. I will give it a little more time and hope that it's just a late bloomer and starts to flower soon fingers crossed 🤞*UPDATE* ON DAY 61, 2DAYS BEFORE WEEK 10 CMA STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF FLOWERING, LST CANOPY IS PRETTY MUCH EVEN AND ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF OF ROOT ROT

Stretching to the ceiling lol guess good problem to have

Hello amis cultivateurs 🌿🍁 Bon les semaines précédentes on était compliqué pour ces conlombian jack 😔😔 Mais aujourd'hui elle m'a l'air d'aller mieux et de repartir enfin tout doucement 👍🌿 Merci Kannabia encore une magnifique variété 🍁❤️

Die Blüten werden schön schwer und bunt. Das Wetter stellt sie auf die Probe und fordert Opfer.

Short flower cycle good bud structure uniform plants overall would recomend very resistant to stress

expect high super high levels of frost , be sure to start your training early on this plant and defoliation of lower growth will help out a lot, with care you can have beautifull massive grapewalker kush's glad ivesaved some for the vault , thanks for sticking around for this journey now for the next =)0

4 settimana.una delle mie auto preferite.forbidden runtz fast buds...continua a crescere bene .grazie alle mie cure ed i fantastici nutrienti della Advanced nutrient....

So just cruising now, last week saw alot of leg work in the defoliation dept, tidying all lower branches, keeping fan leaves to a minimum, and then aiding the scrog by tucking, pulling, anything to keep things moving in the right direction. The challenge now, as stated earlier is to bring all plants ready to flip at the same time, which is a challenge lol, but an enjoyable one. The bench mark here is the scrog, once that's ready everything else can be flipped, the trick is keeping everything else in there low. Atm 6 plants are hooked up to the Res,with another 2 to follow. Currently drinking about 40 liters every 2 to 3 days. It's amazing how much they can drink... Another tucking session, the nets almost filled now, so I'll probably Monday, depending on how it's looking. I replaced the vipra with another maxbloom and moved the vipra into my smaller tent for the Royal Gorilla grow. So far all is going well with no hiccups health wise.

10 November 2020 SunSet-Sherbet Well this week is just another week by now, this lady has been threading through the scrog throughout the week and I believe this lady has finished here stretching and is in full on flowering mode now. Normally a plant stretches the first few weeks into flower to stop the growth and use the nutrients it’s getting now is used to store in the nugs and not the growth anymore. Each cola of each branch has reached the scrog net and has a decent amount of light exposure due to the fact that I only has one light for 2 plants and the spread of the light isn’t the best. Started making actual looking hairy heads with the on them 😁 the leaf spread is just getting a lot. Do-Si-Wine This plant is doing splendid due to fact that the long and stretchy-ness of these branches has reached the scrog net above and beyond which makes it a lot easier to thread through the scrog and to get as much light exposure as possible for more thicker nugs 🤓 The heads on this lady has started making THC 😁 the nugs are starting slowly to turn white which is very cool, because the plant is a dark green with WHITE nugs. One branched has snapped which is quiet delicate and grows above the rest if the canopy and causes shadow from on the bottom branches.

9-21-25 Apple fritter is doing great can’t wait for her to finish.

Oct. 09 - Week 1 begins. Oct. 12 - Can almost watch it grow. Oct. 13 - Photo update. Gave 70ml nutrient solution. Time lapse uploaded. Oct. 14 - I have moved the tiny pot to the "cold room" which ranges between 17 and 20°C depending if the door is open or closed. Hopefully this stunts her a little. A preview of the light I put together a couple years ago in which I plan to use. It consists of a Makers LED Slim heatsink, an Arctic 120mm fan, 4 Cree XT-E 5000K, 9 Cree XT-E 3000K driven by a MeanWell LDH-45A-1050 driver and powered with a MeanWell GST90A12-P1M power supply. Being driven at 1050mA each LED runs a bit less than 3.5 watts for a total of around 45 watts. The heatsink becomes warm to the touch but far from hot. If you look closely, some of the red wire has become white on the side exposed to the light, so they're pretty powerful diodes. I use other lights I've assembled, both identical and similar to this one for some of my succulents and cacti which respond very well, the one cactus is growing at an amazing rate. Time lapse videos should be considerably better now since the new location is much lower traffic and I've learned how to stitch the photos together using PhotoShop in a much simpler way than how I had done it with iMovie. I'm pretty new to making time lapse videos so there are going to be some mistakes. I also have figured roughly how long my batteries last (2 days) so I switch them every other day.

I defoliated them a lot and gave them some transition nutes to get them ready for the flip to flower in 7 days. ✂️💉 Oh they grow so fast.⏰😢😭

This week, we feed mycorrhizal fungi to the plants and it gets the excellent results. The plants grow extraodinarily.
