Week 4 Flower (11/24 - 11/30): Well, well, well... This was the week of thanksgiving and both of the kids parents were out of the state! We had to call in uncle Marcus to come and tend to them. We set him up with the second batch of tea on 11/18 (I'm sure I've given them like at least 4-7 batches of tea so far even though the feeding instructions said start during week 3...) but honestly, I feel like it was a good decision. The canopy isn't as leveled as I would like it to be, butttt there are ton's of bud sites coming up. I did a healthy defoliation (that honestly scared me).. but I think it was for the better removing any overlapping leaves, lower branches that were not receiving much light, and new branches below the top three nodes that were stretching to get light. The new branches were the hardest to remove, as it was hard to tell whether they could live on as new bud sites... but remembering that most of those were beneath the top of the canopy and that all energy is transferred energy.. guided our defoliation. We were home for exactly 24 hours between 11/17 and 12/1 and that is when we prepared another tea for the plants to get 11/27 from there they got one more watering of plain water before another tea to kick off week 5. The stretch is in full effect and they might get a little taller, but we can clearly see where the buds will be packing on weight soon.

Gelato#33 is looking weird. There are some yellow and dark brown spots on the under leaves, and the upper leaves looks very dry. She is receiving the same treatment as the others, maybe the south american weather is not correct for her? Thanks.

I can never talk bad on auto flowers. I did not pay much attention to these girls and it shows but the genetics from FASTBUDS were so good that the quality of the buds was still A1. I bought more FASTBUDS seeds and will grow them in my new setup and hopefully I can maximize the yields this time around.

Pics taken right before chop, currently hanging for the next 8-12 days and then a cure for a good few weeks. Pictures speak for themselves, I had high temps, supercropped the help out of them and yet are still the nicest looking bud I have ever grown since I started in 2003. Can’t wait to test how they smoke. I have two phenos but off to buy some more to do a more in depth pheno hunt.

Week 9 December 23rd Hooked up the microscope took some shots. Getting the dry room engineered and just trying to stay at least a step ahead . This rDWC adventure has been tricky indeed. I’m losing balance somewhere if you read the leaves up close you can see some “signs” and she has about a week left ish before we start the finish up process for harvest December 24th She has slowed down on nutrient consumption and water uptake December 25th I’m at the res change time .sitting at an EC of 1.0 . I have been adding ph distilled water for keeping water levels up and diluting while the vpd went up idk I’ll see what happens next and eventually be able to spot issues early on with better consistency. Just self notes I guess. December 26th another fantastic day in the garden ! December 27th Video update Something different Happy Friday fellow gardeners! December 29th Just pictures this morning December 31st Tomorrow might be the day I’m going to check the trichs one more time after work , she’s looking coose I am grateful for your focus and energy May your day be blessed with ease in all things and love everywhere you travel Happy gardening ! It’s going to be a wonderful week and beautiful day happy growing You are amazing!

Day 43 - 49 My beauty has a problem :(. This my first growing with coco and showing my neophyte skills... Everything was going fine until I realized my lady starting have some potassium issues. So, I increased the fertilizers to provide more potassium. Additionally, I also wanted to check the run-off water. I have never done that because I thought I was doing a good job. After checking the run-off water, I realized that I screwed up :) I am sharing the data of the irrigation water: pH: 6.06 EC: 875 mS/cm And now please look at the run-off water data: pH: 5.16 EC: 7750 mS/cm Yes you read it right, and I am sure the EC and pH is literally f****d! So, there is no deficiency on the plant. She is literally drowning and there is huge nutrient lock problem... Yesterday (28/08/2024), I flushed her with 8L of water and ~6 pH. Today, I watered her with fertilizer like as always, then checked again the run-off water and NOTHING has changed... So, I will do a couple of more flushing, I hope I will manage to fix the problem but if the situation continues like that, it won't end up nice... I am open every kind of suggestions fellas.

I’m really happy with the development she’s shown. I suspect she will probably top a half pound (226g) pretty easily! I like big plants…

Vamos familia actualizo ya esta semana, tengo un amigo que está convencido de que las corto pasadas y que mirándolas con el microscopio pues dice él que ya están. Yo les daba 2 semanas más pero soy muy cabezón, y esta vez le voy hacer caso aun sabiendo que puede que no tenga razón pero, le haré caso. Son 2 ejemplares de Zkittalicious, no saldrá mucha producción habiendo 8 ejemplares más dentro de ese indoor y siendo 300w . Creo que en seco rondarán los 40/50 gs entre las 2 pero no lo sabremos hasta el día de la verdad. Llevan ya el lavado de raíces rapidísimo se le echó el tiempo encima y les di agua esta semana. Veremos también si no varía el resultado final al ser un Corte tan temprano. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superon los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/60% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo dejamos alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Спокойная неделя в плане тренировок, без дефолиации. Довольно хорошо сформирована крона, я ничего не делаю с ней, я просто отпустил её в росте и в коротком темпе междоузлий она проявляет свои цветы даже в таких местах, которые скрыты от света. Цветы по всей площади относительно равномерно растут, запах по интенсивности "Нормальный", пахнет так же - скунсом. Очень ветвистая, с толстыми, короткими ветками и короткими междоузлиями в 3-5 сантиметров. Немножко подросла, на 10 сантиметров, поэтому приподнял лампу на 10 сантиметров. Мощность лампы 70%, от растения 60 сантиметров, 25000lux, лампа слегка теплая. https://www.viparspectra.com/products/xs-series-xs2000 при покупке примени код и получи скидку 😀👌 код: GDVIP Спасибо за комментарии и оценки, друзья! Цветение продолжается!

Este video es del día 42 de vida de la Blue Mazar Auto. Regué 3/4 de bokashi de flora y 1/4 de bokashi de vege de Vamp. También usé 25 ML de Vampimelaza y Micorrizas de Namasté. Viene muy bien, compacta y frondosa. Ya de a poco empieza tímidamente a mostrar los primeros tricomas.

June 15: going good and will do second round of topping tomorrow. Adjusted tie downs. June 16: adjusted tie downs and watered with soluble seaweed extract and a bit of Epsom salts. June 17: topped this morning leaving four bud sites on each side. Leave first and third node growth tips, but remove them at the second node. This will now be 8 colas, but I’ll top once more for 16. June 18: adjusted tie downs and did foliar spray of Extreme Blend in the evening. June 20: released tie down in the morning. Started the second batch of compost tea. Video shows the recipe I started using last year. Leave overnight and use within 24 hours. It should smell fresh, and if it smells ‘off’ or sulphurous it’s gone anaerobic and should be thrown out. Use whatever you want in your compost tea recipe. Key things are blackstrap molasses (sugar and trace metals), some fresh compost, and I use coco coir to provide a substrate or matrix for the bacteria to grow on. Seems to work.

Dear diary, Week 4 almost done, but posting a day in advance as I will need help from the community! Something terrible has happened, and I am not sure what, so let’s jump into it. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 ⏰ Day 25: Away from home so the flatmate is feeding them from the premixed bucket. ⏰ Day 26: Back home! As they have doubled in size I am transplanting up from 3liter to 20liter airpots. The 75/25 coco to perlite mix was first run with 1.23ms 5.8ph calmag water followed by 1.33ms 5.8ph nutes before transplanting over. Light was about 305 so also upped it to 320-330ppfd. G.C #2 still is showing the weird marks and deformation, but she is growing quickly so having real issues figuring out if its something else than some genetic oddity. ⏰ Day 27: Feed the girls at 1.36ms and 6.0ph. Today was also the day where the mainlining begins! This was done by topping above the 3rd node, removing any growth below the 3rd and tying them down to start the manfold. Aiming for 8 or 16 tops for each plant depending on how the grow. ⏰ Day 28: Feeding at 1.36ms 5.8ph and adjusted ties. ⏰ Day 29: Checked in on them in the morning before lights off, and something is very wrong. All the older leaves show all kinds of issues like curling, brown and yellow spots, drooping etc. Might just be from the chock of mainlining and the lights being to strong so lowered them to 230ppfd. Later when lights turned on again, their state has not deteriorated during light off, so I’m fairly sure it is light related. But to be sure I also gave the girls 2 liter each of feed to make sure there are no dryspots, 1.36ms 6.0ph. ⏰ Day 30: I was away all day so they were watered by flatmate with 1.35ms 6ph. When I came home later in the night the spots and yellowing is still happening on the older leaves but much slower than before. I also checked runoff and it’s fine at 1.46ms and 6.0ph. ⏰ Day 30: Gave a feeding of 1.46ms 6.3ph in were I increased A and B nutes to 2.5ml/l from 2.0 and calmag to 1.5ml/l from 1.3. Someone suggested that it might be magnesium deficiency so that is why I changed the ratios and increased the EC a bit. Lastly I also gave a foliar spray of calmag water at like 12ml/l at 6.3ph to see if that helps so we can head into a smoother week 5!
