24 Oct 2021 Week 16 began yesterday, but the first watering of the week was today. I’m keeping up with the flush, starting the 2nd week today. Hopefully I’ll be able to harvest in a few days. My Trio is looking really lovely. Their buds are covered in trichomes that glisten under the lights. They are starting to darken in color in some areas like their mother did. They may take on some pinkish/purple hues before it’s all done. Some of their leaves are turning purple as well. The sugar leaves are somewhat dark, but still green. All three of them are very nice to look at, and their smell is super strong! It’s really nice in my grow room! Yesterday I went out and got some more of those support sticks from the local home store and provided support for all of the branches that needed it. Which was a lot! I got 7 new support sticks and used them all. All of the branches are now supported and flourishing! Today each of my girls received a gallon of properly pH’ed water, and each had a sufficient amount of runoff from which to gather measurements. The process went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3’s initial pH was 6.8. I added .2ml of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.4 for C1, and 6.3 for C2 and C3. TDS going in was 88 ppm for C1, 86 ppm for C2, and 84 ppm for C3. Runoff measurements were a little weird. The runoff pH for C1 was 5.9. The TDS was (at first) 600 ppm. I thought that was an incredible drop from the other day, so I did it again. It was 603 ppm the second time. Ok, moving along nicely! The runoff for C2 was pH - 5.8, and TDS was 1101 ppm. 😳 That’s a lot more than C1. C3 had a pH of 5.6, and TDS of 1212 ppm. Which is even more; so I measured a little more from C1 again, and the 3rd time it measured 736 ppm. đŸ€” That seems weird to me, but I’ll keep an eye on it. If it continues to be that low then I will end up harvesting it before the others which won’t be so terrible. I’ll just have to wait and see. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 47%. My ladies are looking lovely and growing better than I could have hoped for. This grow has been awesome, but I can’t wait to be done. Happy growing everyone! 27 Oct 2021 Feeding/flushing time again! I was somewhat perplexed the other day when I got the runoff reading for the TDS in C1. It was 500-600 ppm less than C2 & C3 respectively. Since I was having some issues with the TDS meter I thought that IT may be the cause. I made a note to check on it today, and there seems to be no problem with the TDS meter at all. Keep reading for details. My plants are still looking as lovely as I could ever have hoped for! C1 has started showing more color changes than the other 2, and the only thing I can say the difference is, is that I defoliated some of C1’s larger fan leaves last week, and wasn’t able to do the same for the other 2. That is the ONLY thing I can think of that has been different between all 3 plants this entire grow. Regardless, all 3 plants are looking wonderful! Today each of my lovely ladies received a gallon of property pH’ed water with an expected amount of runoff for testing. The preparation went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3 was at 7.0. I added 0.2ml’s of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH of all 3 gallons to 6.3. TDS going in for C1 & C2 was 85 ppm, and C3 was 84 ppm. Runoff levels were different for all three plants. C2’s runoff pH was 5.7, and TDS was 1041 ppm. C3’s pH was 5.6, and TDS was 1059 ppm. Last time C1 was significantly lower than the others, and I thought that maybe it was a TDS meter issue. Evidently it wasn’t. C1’s TDS today was 526 ppm! 😳 still much lower than the others, and pretty much ready for harvest. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 43%. Although harvest time is much closer, I don’t believe it will be done in time for this month’s grow diary of the month contest. So sad, but that’s life. Happy growing everyone! See you again soon. 29 Oct 2021 Today is the last day of week 16. I was planning on continuing the flush today, but remembered something that I had forgotten about
. I remembered the branch that had broken off of C1 back on October 10th in week 14. She had held on for well over a week in a can of water, but finally her leaves started to droop. I hung it up all by itself in my small tent to dry. Until today that is! I took it outside and trimmed it on my deck. Even outside, in a pleasant breeze, the amazing smell of this branch was easily detected. It’s kind of windy, rainy, and chilly here today, but still 
. That sweet blueberry muffin smell was there. Her buds; still covered in the dried, crystallized trichomes were super sticky! I must admit that they are the stickiest buds I have grown to date. I weighed the dry bud to add to the grand total of C1’s harvest later. Then I ground it up and smoked it. All I am going to say is that from my reaction to smoking it; I have decided that no additional flushing is needed. After all, what I smoked today broke right before I started flushing, and I could taste nothing other than what I would hope to taste. So my fellow Growmies; I am ending this week right here. The next report you will see will be the harvest report!! Stay tuned!

Freshness in every hit. Citrus terps refresh your mind and body. Smells hard, hits harder. 26% THC that’ll blow your taste buds off. The best of both worlds. Perfectly balanced effect, the ideal all-day strain. Extremely resilient. Top-shelf harvests with minimal maintenance! Sour citrus terps. Loads of orange terps make for the most delicious hash and extracts.

It's hot as hell right now, so she's back to drinking every 24 hours. Just fed her with FOOP for the last time (Friday). Will only give her water for the rest of her grow time. She's looking almost fully cooked. Will likely check her trichs on Sunday and start to consider a timeline for chopping. No pest issues at all. Smell is absolutely divine.

Oh man, this lavender auto is really starting to come to life! I defoliated it a bit and it didn't even flinch. That's a true sign of a tough plant, and I love it. It's like having a little green warrior in my grow room. And let's talk about Aptus, my nutrient sponsor. I swear by their products, they are the real deal. I've been following their feeding schedule and it's like the plant is just drinking it up. It's like giving a thirsty person a glass of water on a hot day - they just chug it down! Now that we're in the first week of flowering, I'm getting excited to see those buds start to really form. It's like watching a baby grow up right in front of my eyes. And who knows, maybe with all that lavender, the plant will make some moon-inspired magic happen. Hey, I hear there's a blue moon coming up - maybe we'll get some extra magic out of this lavender auto! 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 -Seeds Mafia Lavender Automatic Light - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO ‹Food - APTUS HOLLAND ‹ ‹All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://seedsmafia.com ‹‹https://aptus-holland.com/‹ ‹https://autopot.co.uk/ ‹‹https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 Auto Lavender Feminized is a very popular type of cannabis, whose strong therapeutic effects are highly appreciated. It has a flowering period of approximately 9-10 weeks and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. It is a resistant variety which can be cared for easily. This variety is mostly appreciated because it produces strong, durable and resistant plants. Its branches and stem usually grow vertically rather than horizontally. It reaches heights of 120 cm and the harvests amount to 90 grams/plant. In addition, it contains high levels of THC- up to 20%. As their name suggests, the plants that grow from Auto Lavender Feminized seeds have a smell and taste similar to those of lavender, also comprising mint and rosemary tones. This is a variety of cannabis that is usually appreciated for its pleasant fragrance and high productivity, seeing as its buds and stem produce an impressive quantity of resin. If you’re looking for another kind of feminized, autoflowering variety, Auto Lavender Feminized will not disappoint you for sure! auto Lavender Feminized is a feminized, autoflowering variety, obtained by crossing the Lavender and Lowryder 2 species. The plants that grow from this variety have a very specific structure: they are tall, vigorous, and have large branches. At the end of the flowering period, the plants acquire an orange-gold shade

Transplanted Tabitha to a 5 gallon root pouch today. Going to keep bushing her out, as my flower tent is full of flowering Bubblegum. Might get interesting soon with space but we shall see. She’s doing great, very leggy and I decided not to do any more training as of now, just going to keep fortifying with silica and will lollipop this time near flower.

Week 12, Day 83 from seed and 3rd day of flower.....The 5 day of this week officially marked the start of the flowering season!! So I flushed both of these bad boys with ph'd water for two days and then today I switched them to 12/12. I gave them their first dose of bloom nutrients and then lollipoped them as you can see, pixs . Grateful no issues to report for the past 3 weeks have been trouble-free!! I'm going to leave the MH bulb in for an additional 2 weeks to prevent any stretching before switching to the HPS. But so far they are still loving their environment. I'm also in the process of keeping clones of fat banana and hulkberry while i try this new strain of Peanut Butter Tree.

What's up growmies đŸ€ŸđŸœ Week number 4 is in the booksđŸ™ŒđŸŸ Today marks the official start of week 5 and just like my previous grows all my autos are starting to preflower. Like clockwork it starts around week 5 so it lets me know these are right on schedule. I am really focusing on keeping the main cola ties down to keep the canopy as even as possibly. Typically in the past I would stop tying them down during flowering and the main cola would outgrow the rest and dominate. This grow I am continuously tying the main cola down. They all are pretty even except for Caramelicious, her main cola is just a stud and won't bend to 180 w/o me snapping the main stalk. She still is my favorite though and it's my 7th time growing her (I plant at least 1 Caramelicious each grow) The nutrient schedule remains the same. I am feeding them General Hydroponics Flora series. (Floragro, FloraMacro, FloraBloom) I am mixing what the manufacturer recommends for 1 gallon into 3 gallons, so I'm giving roughly 1/3rd what's recommended and it seems to be the sweet spot for my set up and environment. All the plants are doing well and are not showing any signs of stress, deficiency, or toxicity at this point. The weather here in VA has been pretty cold which makes it perfect humidity wise for my indoor grow, without having to blast my Cloud intake system, or even turn on the dehumidifier which won't last long because they are starting to flower and will take up more volume increasing humidity so I expect to have to use them both in the next few weeks. It appears a spider has made it's home in my tent (I see webbing in one corner of the tent) I figured it'll take care of pests for me and is not harmful so I am leaving it be for now. All in all everything is going well so far, fingers crossed. That is it for now, until next time, Happy Growing and like always May the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest!

Day 28-35 (May 28th - June 4th) (Day 29) My rooted blackberry #3 clone looks like it’s finally starting to reveg. It’s starting to stretch it’s internodes but no new growth yet. Nearly all 9 are pushing roots now. What a waste of time taking clones in flower! Won’t ever do that again. Grapefruit #1 has a twin! I thought it was just an odd formation on the taproot but two seedlings are pushing out. I wonder if it will be genetically identical. It’s definitely slower growing than the other one so who knows. I will try to train them apart when the time comes. (Day 30) I think the EC/PPMs are too high on nearly every plant including my veggies. The promix is actually really hot for a “blank” medium coming in at 1800. Adding compost and amendments to that is probably raising it to 2500+ at least. It should self balance the more I water it but I know for a fact I can get better growth by leaching the soil around each plant. Next time I use promix for anything, I’m going to prewash it like coco coir and add a dash of oyster shell flour for pH and calcium. (Day 32) Purple tuna is now big enough to start lst on now. I’m going to wait a little while for the slurricanes. (Day 33) One of the grapefruits has a twin that actually popped... I’m going to leave it and see how she turns out (Day 35) I’m going to prune off the lower leaves on each plant. I was going to lst Purple tuna but it’s so vigorous I may as well just top/mainline it. Autoflowers are looking established and should be taking off this week. I wonder if this will give them enough time to veg into decent sized plants before they flower. I won’t be topping or even doing lst. My goal is 22 big spear colas from each plant. I’m going to get all my rooted clones into 1.7 gallon pots over the next week or so.

Bonjour Ă  tous les padawans et les maĂźtres jedis Pour cette semaine je prĂ©voit de pratiquer comme technique spĂ©ciale le LST et juste un arrosage. Pour cela comme Ă  mon habitude j'attend le cinquiĂšme noeud ou que je juge la plante robuste. Je profite que cette semaine qui va ĂȘtre relativement calme pour faire un LST appliquĂ© et vous faire un rappel de ce qui est pour moi la meilleure technique pour arroser une autofloraison et la façon dont je pratique le LST. En suivant ces quelques simples conseils vous obtiendrez un rĂ©sultat optimal tout au long de votre culture : Le cannabis est une plante qui n’aime pas recevoir un lĂ©ger arrosage en continu. Il est impĂ©ratif de l’arroser en grosse quantitĂ©, puis d’attendre que la terre soit bien sĂšche avant d’arroser Ă  nouveau! Pour calculer la quantitĂ© d’eau nĂ©cessaire Ă  chaque plante, suivez cette rĂšgle : Le volume d’eau Ă  donner lors de chaque arrosage doit reprĂ©senter au moins environ un quart du volume du pot !! Exemples : pour un pot d’1L, donnez 0,25L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage pour un pot de 4L, donnez 1L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage pour un pot de 12L, donnez 3L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage pour un pot de 30L, donnez 7,5L d’eau Ă  chaque arrosage !etc
 Pour donner un tel volume d’eau, il est souvent nĂ©cessaire d’arroser en deux (voir trois) fois, lentement et uniformĂ©ment sur toute la surface. Disposez de bonnes coupelles sous les pots, celles ci se rempliront d’eau qui remontera dans le pot par capillaritĂ© en moins d’une journĂ©e. Il est Ă©galement trĂšs important d’utiliser un bon terreau de qualitĂ©, avec une bonne capacitĂ© de rĂ©tention d’eau mais qui assure Ă©galement un bon drainage (celui ci doit contenir de la perlite, et/ou de la coco, etc..) Il vous faut alors maintenant attendre quelques jours en sous-pesant rĂ©guliĂšrement les pot avec vos bras. Quand ils seront redevenus trĂšs lĂ©gers, vous pourrez arroser Ă  nouveau !! En effet, comme l’eau pĂšse beaucoup plus lourd que la terre, un pot gorgĂ© d’eau pĂšse plusieurs fois le poids d’un pot d’une plante prĂȘte Ă  ĂȘtre arrosĂ©e. Avec un peu d’entraĂźnement, vous apprendrez donc trĂšs rapidement Ă  sous-peser vos pots pour savoir quand une plante a soif. C’est une technique Ă  la fois trĂšs facile et trĂšs efficace, et qui peut ĂȘtre appliquĂ©e Ă  toutes les plantes en pots ! En arrosant de cette façon, en gĂ©nĂ©ral vous devrez arroser vos plantes tous les 3 Ă  6 jours. Pour cette semaine 3 au jour 17 ma plante fais 12 centimĂštres et son cinquiĂšme noeud apparaĂźt je dĂ©cide donc de pratiquer un LST sur ma plante. Pour ce j'utilise du fil de fer galvanisĂ© que je plante directement dans le substrat en faisant attention de ne pas endommagĂ© les racines car n'oublions pas que ce qui pousse dessus pousse aussi dessous. Jour 17 je pulvĂ©rise du une solution composĂ© d'une cuillĂšre Ă  cafĂ© de savon noir mou diluĂ© dans un litre d'eau en prĂ©vention d'Ă©ventuels nuisibles. Je corrige mon LST suivant la pousse de ma plante ... Pour ma par c'est la maniĂšre dont je procĂšde. Comme promis petit rapel de: Quand commencer Ă  appliquer la technique LST De nombreux cultivateurs commencent la manipulation dĂ©s que les plantes possĂšdent entre 3 et 6 nƓuds ou une paire de feuilles. Durant cette premiĂšre Ă©tape de la croissance, le tronc encore flexible est pliable sans risque qu’il ne se casse, mĂȘme si au fur et Ă  mesure du dĂ©veloppement de la plante il sera de plus en plus difficile de le plier. Nous pouvons continuer Ă  guider la croissance des branches durant toute la culture, mĂȘme durant la floraison, ce qui pour cette Ă©tape reprĂ©sente un grand avantage face Ă  la taille, qui n’est pas du tout recommandĂ© une fois que la formation des tĂȘtes commence, cela stressera en effet la plante, ce qui aura pour effet de retarder la rĂ©colte. Comment appliquer la technique de guidage LST Si nous sommes prudents, la flexibilitĂ© naturelle des fibres du cannabis permet de plier leur tronc et branches avec une relative facilitĂ©e, mĂȘme durant la floraison des plantes. En utilisant une corde fine, nous pouvons accrocher la pointe de la plante Ă  la base du pot par exemple ou Ă  un tuteur que nous aurons plantĂ© dans le substrat. Nous plierons le tronc avec prĂ©caution et nous le fixerons avec la corde, Ă  partir de lĂ , nous pouvons augmenter progressivement la tension de la corde, chaque jour un peu plus, jusqu’à obtenir la position souhaitĂ©e. Soyez attentif Ă  la rĂ©action de la plante, essayez de ne pas appliquer trop de pression sur la corde et rappelez-vous que la flexibilitĂ© des branches peut varier d’une plante Ă  l’autre. Pour obtenir de meilleurs rĂ©sultats, il suffit de suivre quelques rĂšgles simples. Pour commencer, nous devons choisir une corde fine mais pas trop pour ne pas blesser les troncs au fur et Ă  mesure qu’ils grandissent et qu’ils deviennent plus gros. Nous pouvons utiliser des crochets en plastique souple ou de n’importe quelle autre matiĂšre flexible pour Ă©viter d’endommager les plantes. SpĂ©cialement en intĂ©rieur, utiliser des cordons en plastique de couleur (voir les diaries de @Silky) est trĂšs pratique pour voir facilement les accroches et faciliter le travail au milieu du rĂ©seau formĂ©s par les cordes, les tuteurs, les mailles ou les supports que nous aurons dans la culture. Bien entendu, en culture extĂ©rieure et surtout en guerilla nous ferons juste le contraire et nous utiliserons des matĂ©riaux de couleur qui n’attirent pas l’attention pour que notre jardin reste discret. Pour stresser les plantes au minimum, la mieux est de rĂ©aliser ces manipulations le soir ou juste aprĂšs que les lampes en intĂ©rieur s’éteignent, ce qui leur permettra de se remettre durant la nuit. Normalement, le jour suivant nous pourrons observer comme les pointes des branches que nous avons pliĂ©es se dressent de nouveau vers le haut Ă  la recherche d’une source de lumiĂšre. Que la force soit avec vous
