I'm midway through the ninth week she is almost done probably a week left ATM I am just flushing her with H20 and a tbsp of molasses... I know on my next grow of Strawberry Gorilla from FastBuds I will be ordering another light of the same brand just one more 1000w and that would be the perfect amount. The buds are extremely sticky and smell like heaven they are turning purple the leaves are I'm thinking I need to water one more time and let that be it but the bud production is insane. I've learned a lot and I do plan on starting a Craft Cannabis grow... Proverbs 11:1

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Overall, this grow took care of itself, other than the watering and feeding. She grew like a damn tree and didn’t know if she would ever stop stretching but finally did at around 32”. She took very well to LST and this was definitely the biggest auto that I’ve grown to date. All the buds are as solid as a rock, even most of the lower stuff. There were some fluffy buds in there but will end up using that with the trim and leaves to make edibles. All in all, I ended up with 665 grams of wet bud and looking forward to seeing what the final results will be. I’ll update in a week or so with finally weight and a smoke report.

Ehi ragazzi come va? Spero a voi tutto bene, io ho avuto problemi con la polizia che devi stare molto più attento da ora in poi.. La pianta sembra che stia bene ma la resina è poca, per di più ho avuto problemi di muffa, che spero di aver risolto, come vedete dalle foto alcune cime sono andate... 😢Ma apparte questo la ragazza è bella grande e le cime continuano a crescere, dovrebbe essere pronta settimana prossima ma le cime continuano a diventare sempre più ciccione! Staremo a vedere! Ora siamo alla 16 settimana in tutto ragazzi una bestia! Grazie a xpert nutrients e alla genetica di anesia seeds davvero questa pianta sta diventando una bellezza nonostante i problemi che ha avuto, sembra essere un fenotipo bello resistente,.. Per il resto vi terrò aggiornati con nuove foto, è tutto quello che posso fare per adesso.. Vi adoro ragazzi! Siete la mia ragione di vita e la forza per andare avanti durante la giornata in un paese in cui la depressione verso questa pianta miracolosa è davvero incessante, ora vogliono rendere illegale il cbd.. Assurdo! Cmq buone fumate a tutti un buon 420 a tutti! 🙏💪😺😸💖🌿🌴🥦🧑‍🌾🇮🇹😽💨🔥

Starting off week 2 strong. The Patients are responding well. Started the week off 750ml water per Patient. Day 19- Patient. 1 and 2 look strong and 3 is a week behind. It has rust spots on 2 leaves looks like from standing water. The plants look healthy adjusted the temp to 79 and raised the humidity to 66% The leaves felt a lil dry. Gave each plant 1 litre of water now. With steady increases. Still following Mr Canucks Water schedule. I am assuming I have to amend the soil 30 days from veg start. Day 20 is actually day 14. Ok so I will make my adjustments based on Veg and Flower that makes things way easier then the total time. So I noticed leaf septoria on Patient 3 so I found a remedy of copper fungicide. So I made a mixture of neem oil and Copper. 1 tbsp per gallon. So we will see how it turns out. The increase in humidity has helped. Having a 4*8 tent and not filling it up with plants I have noticed is a waste. After this grow I will be filling it up. Veg +9: The patients are going strong have them 1000ml of water and athe 5 gallon bucket went empty so I am filling it now to put it back in the aerator. The patient number 3 will be sprayed at lights out for the spotting again. Other than that a good end to week 2. Veg +11: We will be tracking the Patients 1 and 2. Since they are next to each other in same day of growth. I adjusted the Humidity to 55. I ordered an inline box filter. The tent is in the garage and do not want any outside debris in the tent which I thought could be happening. I also vacuumed the tent as well. Veg +12. Added 1000ml of water today. Thinking of starting to LST to open up the plant a lil. There are quiet a few branches under there. So while writing this I have decided to LST the main branch.

9/3/2023: Still doing some minor defoliation and tucking the branches under the scrog screen. Think this will be the final week in veg. I plan on letting her dry out a bit more before bottom watering again, so I can water in some pre-bloom nutrients, before flipping to flower. As of today there is still water in the reservoir. 9/5/2023: The reservoir dried out yesterday and today I top watered with about 1 gallon. Added Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja 60, Coconut Powder, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst and Bio-Phos, BuildASoil Big 6 and BuildABloom, Pure Protein Dry, Fermented Comfrey Extract and Fermented Peach Extract. Then I filled up the reservoir with the remaining 2 gallons of water, with a ph of 6, with Silica and cal mag added in. This will likely be the last top waterings until stretch is complete. 9/8/2023: She is showing some signs of overwatering. I think the top watering rhe other day may have made the soil a bit too wet. I've pulled back the cover to let the soil dry a bit. I will also let the reservoir dry out a few days before filling again. The other plants is doing awesome, but the Melon milk seems to be a bit more moody. Was hoping she would fill out the right side of the screen, but I'm running out of time. The plant on the left is getting too big and I'm running out of room. Plan to flip to flower very soon, but I want to get this waterings issue sorted first.

🏼Entschuldigung für die Verspätung aber ich war über Neujahr krank geworden und habe eine dicke mittelohrentzündung, war bis gestern Abend alles nicht so geil, naja heute geht’s wieder Berg auf! Und habe viel recherchiert und bin zu diesem Entschluss gekommen. ich habe leider jetzt zum Schluss bemerkt das der ph-Wert der Erde zu niedrig ist🤦🏻‍♂️ ich habe früher mit NDL und Bio Erde angebaut bis vor kurzem sogar noch. Naja aus Fehlern lernt man 😅 ich werde ab sofort dem drain mehr Beachtung schenken 😅 ich musste mich dementsprechend auch von der Strawberry Cola sherbert verabschieden… weil es bei ihr zu kalt war und sogar der ph wert hat ihr den Rest gegeben, ich habe die Pflanze geerntet. die Pflanze wird nicht viel her geben vielleicht maximal 10 - 15g aber da sind richtig viele terpene dran ich werde versuchen mir das als skuff raus zu holen :). Ja die eine Raimbow #1 (links) gleiches Problem aber dadurch das die einen 20L Topf drin ist verkraftet die Pflanzen es besser als die SBC. Nur bei RBM#3 ist es etwas komisch. Die reagiert richtig gut auf die Düngung und dem Super vit :) Aber nun trotzdem finde ich die Farben vom Gesamtbild sehr schön und interessant:) Ich habe aus diesen Grow viel gelernt und werde weiterhin diese Seeds bei SWeetseeds bestellen 🍀 Nächster Grow steht schon in den Start Löchern Edit: Ich fand das die alten Fotos nicht so liebevoll waren, deswegen hab ich mir beim Gießen etwas länger Zeit gelassen und habe mal ein paar schönes Fotos zum nachholen gemacht. und ein schönes Video noch dazu aufgenommen. Edit2: Die dritte Pflanze MRB bauscht in 6W noch etwas auf wie man auf den Fotos etwas erkennen kann. Ab Woche 7 - 8 werden wir die ersten Trichome fotografieren.

Tenemos 3 fenos diferentes 2 de ellos muy marcados cada 1 de un parental de la versión no auto de Triton Biscotto Lime, como son Lemon Tree 🍋 [olor a SLH exagerado, (la más rapida)] y OreoMintz 🍪 [olor muy fuerte(la más "bajita" pero más avanzada en floración)] el último feno Kush más terroso proveniente de la Panty Punch Auto 👊(la más fina de momento) En general encantado y asombrado con el desarrollo de las 3, llevan poda de bajos en los 2 primeros nudos y limpieza de internudos y chuponas interiores en la parte baja 🍃

Another cold week, we are having around 2ºC Minimum temperature, and its really cold at night( I mean, for Spain, because if some Nortern people hear this may be laughting at me hahaha) But there is a range of hours when then sun hits directly the plant if its not cloudy, like 6h-8h, this if i dont have to roll out the awning, so the plant is protected when raining. Did not feed the plant until past the middle of the week, because i ovserbed that the flowers were developing slowly as im accostummed, probably because of the low temperatures, so i decided to give her the last feeding and start the flush at the end of this week, because i felt the plant was like at least 2 weeks from proper harvest, and still developing the flowers with white hairs... Im looking for something narcotic with a nice Therpenoid Profile so the later the better in my opinion, but without passing he Ripper Line hahaha :) So last feeding was like a fattening one... Higher Dose of nutrients for the plant, and later added some Micro Vita to the soil, 3grams, and until the end with water and some carbs in 1/2 irrigations ... What amazed me is the strenght of this plant, surviving these really low temperatures, growing a little slowlier, but without problems or buds, amazing plant, as amazing as beautiful, im in love with the colours.. So i hope you enjoyed reading this week Growmmies :) Have a nice week and dont forget to roll one ^^ Good vibezz.

Avrei potuto aspettare ancora una settimana per averne 1/4 ambrati, ma preferisco l’effetto Bomba😝, perciò lo tolta con tricomi Opachi È molto forte come odore, nonostante L’aspiratore sia costantemente acceso , ma non al massimo, troppo rumore per via del tubo( appena possibile ne prendo uno nuovo e insonorizzato ) Non ne ha fatta molta e ne ero consapevole,ma ora che ho nuovamente la Led Marshidro Evo da 480 watt montata, torneranno i precedenti risultati gusto qualità e quantità Ora ne mancano 3 da tagliare ma aspetterò con calma, visto che posso iniziare ad usare la mia terapia Un buon proseguimento a tutti Voi 18/10 tolto tutto più tardi anche quest’ultima che da sul rosa è wow!!! quella che sta asciugando sa di frutta..agrumi!! Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto ( una la sto già fumando) dalla Papaya cookies e la rifarò Ora ho le gorilla glue appena nate

So I was in week 2 with the Cream Mandarin when I realized I was not happy with her growth for what I want her to do, and it was totally my fault, and not the Breeder, so I decided to re-start as to represent Sweet Seeds properly as they have sent me pretty much whatever I have requested. I was attempting to start seeds in coco coir, which was very tough to satisfy the coco with Cal-mag and not burn the seedlings in the process. So I started using ProMix seedling starter and have been very happy with it so far. The other issue I ran into was satisfying the humidity levels for my seedlings, and also keeping my flowering auto happy. So, my final decision was to purchase a small 2x2 tent to double as a seedling tent and a drying tent. I hooked up a little 4 inch exhaust fan, put a heat mat on the floor, a small fan, and a Spider Farmer SF1000, a hydrometer, and a humidifier which is keeping it around 70% RH even with the little exhaust fan running 24/7. The toughest part of learning to grow Cannabis for me has been days 3-17. Once I get there I seem to be good. If anyone has any tips please hit me up. Thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze On!

Day 63 - Flowers just starting. They're looking nice. Through the week I've chopped quite a few leaves off her to allow light penetration.
