Plants are finishing up, maybe another week and I can wrap things up. Buds didn’t get as fat as I would have liked but everything looks really nice and frosty. cleaned up all the plants with some defoliation.

Standard week. starting to swell. No issues really. Wish this girl smelled more. My Bakers delight grow has set the bar high and I think this will be just an average pheno. Probably grow this strain from seed again next run unless she gets her dank on. Defoliating heavy around the tops to keep main canopy below strip level. Aim is for even light on every single bud site, or as much as possible

These 8 plants had a vegetative period of 3 months and grown organically, these ladies had a lot of training and came out beautifully except 1 plant which was both over and under watered. I don't seem to understand why these plants are not smelly at all literally there is no smell, not while in vegetative stage and nor in flowering, don't know is this a bad or good thing while trichomes are clearly visible at day 7 of flowering.

Eats very well, no more signs of leaf tip burn. Lots of smaller tops emerging, becoming bushy. Roots looking good for most part, still showing healthy white roots submerged. Still using mister to keep humid in root zone.

This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night. Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday. Friday: Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925. Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often. Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller. Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8
.i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm
I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more. Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent. Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night
..is the infrared light working already? Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph. Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node. Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

Day 100 - Harvest time! Will hang her completely upside down. RH=58% and 23ÂșC at almost midday. Hanging them in my bathroom Day 105 - Drying finished today! Was faster then i expected but im mid summer so its hard to maintain proper drying temperatures Im SUPER happy with this diary, @Fast_Buds and the Grow Diaries Team! This website has helped my improve my growing skills in a way i couldnÂŽt imagine. Having a clear, imaged, reported diary where you write everything you do, really helps you understand your mistakes and see where you could have donw better comparing to how others did! Also another big thank you to the GD Team for having me tied 3rd at the FastBuds 2023 Outdoor Grow Contest and to the very kind @Fast_Buds Team 🙌 Keep on Growing!!

6/7 Watered even though I did last night. Its been in the 90s. Transplanted 3 more into 50, 40 and 15 gallon. Gave two away and need to find space for three more. Will spray tonight. Noticed a few aphids. Should feed soon as well. Upload pics and video later today. Planning to transplant the last three and merge diaries. UPDATE: WENT OVER AROUND NOON AND ITS HOT AS HELL. I NEED TO MAKE SURE SOIL WILL MONITOR WHEN I GO SPRAY AND FEED TONIGHT. 6/8 Watered lightly and fed two gallons of feed to the garden leaving out the fresh transplants. Its been four days in the 90s. Today supposably the last. I need to spray lost coast plant therapy to keep up with my IPM. Also need to transplant the 3 remaining. I'll upload the pics tonight. UPDATE: I won't be taking AS many pictures in the future but I wanted to get some on here. The strains of the seedlings that are being transplanted got mixed up. I know the strains but not which is which. Strains are; GMO, Purple Punch, 4 Kings, Wedding Crasher, Dosido, gaslight and Chem Dogg. ALWAYS LABEL THE SEEDLING ITSELF NOT ITS POSITION in the peat moss tray ( or whatever you may use). I know better than that but it started as just an experiment. WENT OVER AROUND 4 AND PLANTS WERE DRY. THEY LOOKED AMAZING BUT SOIL WAS BONE DRY SO I SOAKED 'EM. 6/9 Planned on transplanting the last three plants and it started to downpour. At least I hadn't watered yet. I'll continue to monitor. Went back and plants were drooping so I watered. I transplanted the last three and by the time I was done plants perked right back up. Internet is slow will upload pics later. 6/10 The heat wave has passed. Early this morning soil wasn't dry so I didn't water. I figured they could wait until tonight. I'll see if that was a good decision or not when I go back. I noticed PM on the back of some plants and inside. I did some defoliation but will do more once I go to spray tonight. Internet is still slow so it's hard to upload.UPDATE: Went back over and had to water. Grow bags are drying out quick with this wind. I defoliate a little on the bottom and removed the worst PM. I will be spraying tonight since this heat wave is over. UPDATE: WENT OVER AND SPRAYED EVERYTHING WITH LCPT. I DEFOLIATED INSIDE AND TRIED TO REMOVE WHAT WAS NEEDED TO IMPROVE AIRFLOW. 6/11 Plants don't seem negatively effected by the LCPT. However I noticed some spots of WPM that I must of missed. I pulled those couple leaves and will follow up. The cage is a tight fit and plants are big and bushy. I may look into totally lollipopping one. Much colder today. Plants were watered last night. Didn't need it this morning. 6/12 Temp is in the 70's. Lightly watered before feeding two gallons of solution. Cleaned up around and in the cage. Plants are doing phenomenal. I've continued slight defoliation on some plants due to WPM to increase airflow. 6/13 Didn't water this morning. Soil seems hot (temp wise). I had to leave unexpectedly at 6am for a family emergency. When i got back around 11am almost all my plants were drooping. I soaked everything but the little fresh transplants. I watered them lighter. I will return this afternoon to monitor. UPDATE: Went back over around 7pm. I received a message earlier that my plants had indeed perked right up after getting water. Plants are huge. I'm regretting not having a space bigger space (12x12). Found some more WPM on the interior of some plants as well as a few yellowed dieing leaves on the very inside of the plant. I'll keep an đŸ‘ïž out.

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

So far things are going well. Bloom has started and already seeing purple/pink hues on the buds. Will be back to update properly just posting up a few pictures before i forget. Check out the YouTube channel. Water change at day 31 and pH'd the water to 5.8. I also got a new RO 4 stage water filter for the best water quality for the girls so ill be using that on the next water change. The smell is sweet in the tent. All seems to be going ok. Day 34 - The girls seem happy enough, a few colder nights than needed but all in all, happy with there progress.

The girls keep growing ^^ Rainy week, high RH, not a lot of sun... ULH1 is getting TopVeg 1ml/l+TopBloom 1ml/l + BigOne 0,5 ml/l (2 times a week aprox) Been feeding Orgatrex to the ULH2 because it was getting light green, now its getting better. One Original Amnesia Haze has popped and healthy, the other still in the soil ... Good Vibez mates!!

I've been letting her grow. She reached the highest point under the lamp inside the tent which was 110cm, I'm hoping her flowering boots up and she has enough daylight everyday to create energy. I use Bloom as the PK Feeding nutrient. I have to water her EVERYDAY btw it's strange how dry her dirt becomes during the day and over night,. Water and PK And 10-14 daylight. Water at 6.5ph

Petite taille effectuĂ©, j’ai coupĂ© l’apex et j’ai laisser seulement le noeud juste en dessous de celui qui Ă©tais le plus dĂ©veloppĂ©, pour vois si les deux repousse de l’apex et celle du noeud en dessous arrive Ă  la mĂȘme taille/croissance , afin d’ĂȘtre le plus symĂ©trique possible. Car avant tous je suis passionnĂ© par l’art vĂ©gĂ©tal et le bonsaĂŻ, j’ai commencĂ© Ă  cultiver du cannabis il y a maintenant 3ans, un Ă©tĂ© j’ai plantĂ© une petite graines dans un bĂȘte terreaux vide de nutriments, et lĂ  tout a commencĂ©. Mais comme dis prĂ©cĂ©demment j’aimais l’art, et ce plant en question je l’ai transformĂ© en bonsaĂŻ, un magnifique bonsaĂŻ, un chef d’Ɠuvre, au quel j’ai perdu toutes photos. L’annĂ©e d’aprĂšs j’ai recommencĂ© le mĂȘme scĂ©nario, une graine et on recommence, la se fut un Ă©chec, plant trop gourmand et trop sensible au stress, il m’a lĂąchĂ© Ă  3/4semaine de floraison, puis maintenant 1ans que je cultive en intĂ©rieur a rechercher une bonne recette de living soil, toujours Ă  la recherche de perfection jusqu’à couper avant mĂȘme la fin de floraison car j’étais pas satisfait du rĂ©sultat. (C’est pour ça aussi que j’ai supprimĂ© tous mes journaux) J’ai coupĂ© deux cultures comme ça et j’ai fais qu’une rĂ©coltes sur la troisiĂšme. Maintenant celle qui m’excite le plus est la petite graine d’extĂ©rieur, oui comme on dit jamais deux sans trois, plus de 1ans que j’attends cette variĂ©tĂ©, la Frosty purple freak. Le mutant violet de chez Khalifa Genetic. Que je vais bien Ă©videmment travailler comme un bonsaĂŻ, mais symĂ©trique , je vais Ă©viter de trop le stresser comme j’ai eu du retard sur la croissance du a certain imprĂ©vu de type limace et temps catastrophique. (2 graines bien plantĂ© dans mon derriĂšre.) je vais essayer de bien le diriger tous en essayant d’avoir une certaine rĂ©colte, en faire un bonsaĂŻ crĂ©e d’énormes stress au plant et ralenti considĂ©rablement la croissance, pour essayer de rĂ©colter 50/100 grammes sur le plant en extĂ©rieur faudrais approcher les 3/4 mois de vĂ©gĂ©tation si tu implique des haut stress training et de la coupe a gogo. Et j’avoue que j’ai pas payer plus de 50litre de living soil juste pour 15/20 grammes de rĂ©coltes sur le plant, mĂȘme si la satisfaction d’avoir fait une Ɠuvre d’art, ça ne vaut pas le coup, je ferais mieux l’annĂ©e prochaines, je dois accepter cette dĂ©faite. J’ai mis des vidĂ©o de mon deuxiĂšme bonsaĂŻ, il Ă©tais en dĂ©but de floraison et il avait environ 4mois, sans nutriments ,je lui estimais 30/50 grammes en fin de Flo, mais il m’a lĂącher. Dans les deux derniĂšres vidĂ©o, il y en a une oĂč on voit bien le dĂ©pĂŽt bactĂ©rien et nutritifs du thĂ© de compost oxygĂ©nĂ©. Recette du thĂ© pour la semaine 15litre d’eau de pluie 30 gr guano guali 15 gr Meal wormcastings 15 gr nettle 7 gr spirulina 7 gr Hydrosolat Kelp 225 gr wormcastings 15 gr hydrolysĂąt de poisson 15 gr Comfrey 10 gr levure saccharomyces cerevisiae souches lycc 6420 60 gr Zeolit of chabasit 15 gr Azomite 45 ml de mĂ©lasse 15ml d’acide Humic et fluvic J’ai arroser 6 litre pour la purple freak et le reste a d’autre plantes Et un autre arrosage avec 500ml d’eau neutre avec 1gr bacilllus amyloliquefaciens x5 qui a Ă©tĂ© effectuĂ© le lendemain du thĂ© La culture se passe bien, du cĂŽtĂ© de la purple freak Aucun problĂšme Ă  dĂ©plorer, plant trĂšs rĂ©sistant, au changement de tempĂ©rature et condition climatique supporte trĂšs bien les orages et les temps pluvieux et chaud, pas de signe de maladie, j’ai actuellement des ravageur depuis le dĂ©but de la culture, pas un signe de problĂšme. RĂ©agit trĂšs bien au coupe, j’en suis plus que ravie, elle fait partis de mon top1. Seul truc qui m’inquiĂšte, c’est ce mauvais temps. Un mĂ©lange de chaleur et de pluie, qui a amenĂ© de l’oidium sur certaine de mes plantes extĂ©rieur, j’ai peur que cela se propage sur la purple freak. Je vais devoir traiter tous cas, sans traitement agressif bien sĂ»r.

Day 71đŸ‘‹đŸŒ± I started flushing some days befor. I think I’ve got 20 days left but this lady eat a lot of feeding this last weeks so I give some more flushing. Buds looks full of all What they needs also if now they need to get fat and fat. :) let’s see what’s happen. Giving ph controlled water at 6.2/6.5, I check TDS to water owerflowing from pot, bringing it to 50ppm from 400. Now I’ll start checking trichomes every three days, I’d like a 60% white and 40% amber Day 72đŸ‘‹đŸŒ±đŸŒ± Hi all growers, how is going? 😊 I'm at my first real flush for this Orange, i gave 10 lt of ph controled water and was checking ppm from water coming out. i gave water unitl it reach 400 ppm, my water is 200 ppm, i hope i'll bring it to 50 ppm for next flush in 3 days. i think bud are going to bloom nice this last days befgore harvest, i can feel it :D Day 74đŸ‘‹đŸŒ±đŸŒ±đŸŒ±đŸŒ± Soil is already quiet dry, smell is increasing rapidly. Today I’ll give another e 1 lt of water and Sunday I’ll do another flush. I think will go up to 90 days. Bud will get fatter and fatter🏆. Maybe I could have fertilise two times more, but anyway I’d not a big problem, I’ve been feeding them a lot since the beginning so a more long flush won’t be a problem at all. Can’t wait to the harvest. Day 77 đŸŒ±đŸŒ±đŸŒ±đŸŒ±đŸŒ±đŸŒ±đŸŒ± Just posting some trichome pictures, waiting to some changement before publishing some new pic of the lady. Keep washing it with ph controleed water that looks always cleaner, i think i'll be cutting the most high bud some days before the rest of the plant. Can't wait anymore Let’se go! â€ïžđŸŒ± Any suggestion is really welcome :)đŸ˜‹đŸŒ±đŸŒ±
