starting week 8! Brrrr its getting frosty in there! :-) they are really gettting tall.

So this week i harvested the orangesherbert so sticky and stinks of orange, 50grams dry of 🔥 bud. Curing in a big jar at 21 degrees and humidity of 60% dark cool cupboard. Watermelon zkitles is bouncing back, the runts is doing amazing with the lst and leaf tucking. I had to kill the purplelemonade due to it herming on me I dont have space for that so I'm going to run a ethos genetics seed in its place.

Finally we cut this plant 13 weeks plant, it isn't a 8 weeks plant this is my main complaint about it, the bank should change the information because most of the people select this strains because are "faster".

3/4/24-Here we are with the ladies goin to their second week. Yay baby flowers 💚 Have a few things going on. I apparently suck at the trellis thing lol. At flower they were all pretty even..I would tuck a few stragglers that got taller under. They’ve went crazy now and I don’t really have anywhere to tuck them other than away from the lights which I don’t wanna do. There was some discoloration on the tips of leaves which I assumed was light or nutrient related, so I dimmed lights a bit and checked the runoff water. Omg. It was wayyyyy too acidic. Like high 4’s low 5. Some leaves also appear to be showing magnesium deficiency.. which I assume is because of the crazy acidity. I’m giving dechlorinated tap water (no normal nutes) without phing it because it’s very alkaline. Hoping it will bring things back up. Oh, I sprinkled epsom salt on the soil before watering. (Magnesium) Really crossing my fingers that I am doing the right things and don’t screw this up! These ladies still look really good to me considering.. but only time will tell. Update: pretty sure I had nitrogen toxicity and too much salt buildup in the soil. In the meantime got what seemed to be magnesium deficiency. I’ve been giving only water with some epsom salt and the girls seems much happier. Hopefully Krisis averted 😂

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 28 Just a quick update for this morning since I had to move the ties a little. LST, I now have them above the 3rd node branches. Stats are normal and the growth tips are turning upward now. Stats 73F/ 63% RH /IL Vent at 33% - Lights also same as before 345ppfd highest, 330 center, and 315 at lowest. No need for adjustment. She seems to be taking the training well. Day 29 Water day - checked last night and decided it was time again - Water by weight again so no runoff to measure at about 4 cups. (4 days since last feed by weight) 13lbs even par is 15lbs 4oz so I prepared 2lbs 4oz of water. Tested my meter and discovered it needed calibration (the temp is off and cant be calibrated - so I used a trusty meat thermometer. started with 4ppm and added 300ppm of epsom and vegmix ph balanced to 6.34 at 69.8F - then splashed with H2O2. Poured around roots and splashed the stem base - sprayed some on the leaves and use the whole amount. Had to adjust lights now to be brighter so I brought them down to 18.5" and ppfd is now 375highest 360 center and 345 at lowest. VPD is normal at 1.0 with 73F /63% RH /33% IL Vent - fans are pointed to directly now as the leaves are starting to get rough feeling - so I moved them a bit to blow less directly Training is doing good nice upward turn on the training (making small LST movements with the ties other than than... just letting it make new branches. Day 30 Checked PH and got 5.0 on my meter(+1.25 tested differential = 6.25) Stats normal too - 73F /64% RH /33% IL Vent - Lights at 385highest 370 center and 355 at lowest Removed cross ties since they are no longer needed to hold the fan leaves- training still looking nice as the new nodes are formed with 2nd node leaves growing already. Day 31 Identified an issue this morning - went back through my pictures, identified the start, looked at the day before, and noted my changes that I took notes on at that time. Went to google to diagnose a few possible hypothesis and am now testing with a treatment. (suggestions from more experienced growers welcome) This morning the issue was brown spots on the older fan leaves. Mostly just the left fan leaf. Seems to have started 2 days ago (day 29) when I changed the lights and fed her. When I fed her, I left water droplets on the leaves instead of drying them off after a short time (I had been drying them with a tissue after a wet pic. The fans were also adjusted after the lights were dropped closer as well. Hypothesis: I think the water was magnifying the light and caused light stress at the those spots. I dont think the wind of the fan had much to do with it other than they helped dry the leaves faster as noted by the water being completely gone by the time I took pictures later that night for measurements. Test: Raised my lights to a max of 350ppfd (from 385 highest reading this morning) Had to adjust fans again since they rest on my lights. Will observe looking for improvement over the next few days. ... another possibility was given to me by Guru @Roberts (thank you) as it possibly being a ph issue locking out calcium. So I thought I might test ph and then try diluted cal/mag in a spray if my soil is too low (also looked at pics and seen VERY close similarities in my pics and those) and so on that advice, I tested/calibrated my soil meter (it FINALLY calibrated for me!)I found my soil was avg of 3 readings at 5.153 (5.08,5.09,and 5.29) NOT GOOD - potentially locking out most all nutes. I weighed out about 2 cups of purified water with and added about half ml of CalMag, ph balanced the water to 6.5 at 69.7F (my research shows Calcium lockout starting at 6.3 or lower) and splashed with H2O2 - I poured most around the base and sprayed the leaves too. I made sure to use the whole solution by pouring the last of the solution in the spray bottle over the stem and stem base. EOD follow-up Found a possible calcium blockade in my ph and on my leaves (of which are now starting to curl so I placed my fans on oscillate to ensure they aren't doing more damage) --- fully documented now. otherwise measurements are now documented too. -- second node is starting to pull away from the last top so I will be looking to top again (3rd of possibly 4 total) and then HST and bind in a new spot Day 32 Doing a morning and evening check her now while I see this issue resolved. So far no sign of improvement since last night - might have gotten worse in comparison (will check pics side by side today) but I think because it's a immobile micronutrient so it should take time to stop then reverse. So in the mean time I am doing a slurry test as a 2nd test for my soil before I treat it. I took soil from 3 different spots and made sure I got some from about 4 inches deep in each spot (ensured calibrations were still good with buffer tests) 1st test is a PH meter tested directly in the soil. After using the 2 cups of 6.3 yesterday I got 3 readings today = 5.47, 5.32, and 5.5 to avg 5.43 - (yesterday's readings prior to treatment were 5.08, 5.09, and 5.29 to avg 5.153) - still far below the normal 6 to 7 for soil and the requirement of 6.3 and above for calcium to enter roots. suggesting again lockout. So while I am checking the plant conditions I also looked at the new nodes - 2nd node is starting to pull away from the first, but not quite enough to top yet - thinking I will be able to top tomorrow evening - should be able to correct the ph tonight, so I can see if there's results in that by then as well. I also set the fans to oscillate last night, so here's a video for that now. Measurements, ppfd, and vpd will be in tonight's check-up Day 32 So I started this evening by testing the run off with 2 meters, 5.7 and 5.67 - prepared 1 gallon of 7.5 ph water and splashed with H2O2 (checked with both meters) Before flushing, I documented the leaves again - still curled and look very dry but they still have some flexibility with them - they dont seem to getting any worse so the spray may have gotten enough to the leaves most affected. The new nodes and growth tips seem to be okay but not growing as fast as they were. That would still mean that the soil needs treatment before the roots begin to die off and I end up with stunted growth overall. SO I flushed the whole gallon and noted the runoff from the sides and bottom. I then tested the soil directly with 3 readings 5.95, 5.8, and 5.73 for avg 5.826 and tested the runoff water with 2 separate meters for 5.91 and 5.85 Not sure if I should feed dunk in 7.5 still or just use that number on the next feed in like 3 or 4 days. will discuss Other than that ppfd highest is 360, 350 at center, and 330 at lowest. VPD was 1.0 with temp at 74F /63% RH /33% IL Vent Growth tips could be ready to top again tomorrow night, but I would like the get the ph taken care of first. Day 33 Started the day by noticing the lower branches seem to stop turning and the next level branches seemed to have finally turned but nearly as fast as the first. (Noticed them having a start yesterday) Newer branches dont have any signs of issues. So the plan today is to make Bloom Juice for later. Feed Dunk with 100% Veg Juice at a ph of 7.3 test runoff and ppm. Top the 4 nodes and remove the lower leaves. Calcium issue or not, that was always the plan with main-linning the plant. However, because of the health issues, I dont think I am going to go past these 8 colas - rather instead I will simply stop here and do some HST to set them how I want them to grow and let her recover and finish her veg for about two or three weeks. Dunk had 300ppm of Epsom, Veg juice, in a little over 3 gallons of purified water. I had 7.4 ph and splashed with h2o2. I pushed the entire plant into the water and soaked for a few seconds. Drained by hanging the pot up for about 10 minutes and the stream started dripping instead. Checked the runoff with 2 meters 6.01 and 5.93 with 2580ppm. Then I topped all four nodes and removed the fan leaves from under my mainline. I used LST to finger press the new branches apart into the direction I plan to move them to get the nodes powering up. Next I will wait for a day to do HST on those new branches. Tonight I will simply let her rest. VPD still at 1.0 - 73F /63% RH /33% IL Vent - Lights are at 365 highest, 355 center, and 335 lowest. No need to measure for growth now as I dont plan to top anymore Day 34 Early entry to day for HST the morning after topping. So I started off the morning checking stats and health. PH levels are still low. 3 soil meter tests 5.41, 5.41, and 5.44 for an avg of 5.42 - kinda at a loss here but can only monitor now. VPD and lights are mostly the same - 74F /63% RH / 33% IL Vent - VPD not relevant today as the settings are the same and I am using HST to change the plant position. leaves are noted for future reference - all four lower fan leaves have signs of calcium deficiency but not progressing nearly as fast as the first two did, so I think my attempts via higher ph water and feed may have helped. (I know the microbes in the soil are supposed to help get past ph issues , but mine seem to not be heathy) HST used a cuticle rod from my wife's nail case and a paint stick to press the rod against the branches and smash the inside of the elbows I want to bend. LST I then cut 4 strips of garden wire at the same length, hooked the ends like candy canes and aligned them about 1/2 inch above the new node and into the soil. From the side they look level but have the leaves now facing sideways. They will turn in a day or two.

06/18/2024 WEEK 4 FROM CLONES!!! LETS GET IN ITT!!!! Added a Humidifier for the tent, 2 gallon version, workin great so far, only using very minimal nutrients and runclean will keep updating as the weeks go on thanks!

Shes definetly beginning to pre flower. I quickly got some LST in so at least the lower branches will get more light. I hope it continues to stretch and fill in. I'm sure that she still has a lot of stretching to do. Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!

Ogs EC 0.9 Gorilla Ghosts EC 1.3 - 1.6 Light dimmer 90% 50k lux This is the last days of Bud encrease phase. The maturation phase is about to begin. I will not liar, 😁, I was hoping for bigger buds. but everything is fine (what a lie😆). On the next round I will try to do my best and have a big yield. Anyway, the smell is very strong. This is my 2 round, i was upset, but i will try to dont push me so hard. It's your fault who keep posting photos of plants with giant buds. Then I keep thinking that it's not that difficult. 😂😂😂

Día 4 de Floracion Como ya os comenté la semana pasada las puse ya a florecer, recuerdo que tengo un armario muy pequeño y muchas plantas. Al ser regulares tengo que estar muy atento para cuando se empicen a mostrar. Seguimos a 150W, el foco es regulable, de momento he conseguido estabilizar la temperatura por lo que seguiré así. Un riego con Alga Bloom, que empiece lo bueno. Saludos

Started flushing however acting on more experienced advice going to refeed and continue bloom for a while longer. Buds are really solid compared to previous grows. Really excited to do final weigh in at the end of this grow and only want to beat my personal best for weight. Hope the 5 days of flushing didn't hurt her too much as leaves have become a little brittle from over watering.

Hello, readers! I've been in a different country this week, so I didn't keep an eye on Mirra. However, my friend came few times to take pictures and add new solution. Because of that I don't know precise temp and humidity. Also I decided not to train the plant, because my friend would've struggle to fix the wires, while the plant grows. I also switched to 35 liters, as I wanted before. Now I have 3 air-pump, each of it consumes 3watt and blows 2.5-3 liter per minute. So, in my calculations it should be enough air. Preflower started 😍 Feeding: I decided to experiment with food. I have some new fertilizers which are waaaay(~50 times) cheaper than the weed-fertilizers. Let's test it. It's recommended dosage of mixing is 10gr/liter to get this NPK proportions per liter. In fact 1 gr/liter of this nutrients rises PPM by 350. And one of them slightly lowering PH, which is good for me. NPK20, B 0.01, Cu 0.02, Fe 0.04, Mn 0.01, Mo 0.002, Zn 0.002 - 30 gr to 35 liters. Or 0.85 gr/liter. N 15.5 CaO 26 - 10 gr to 35 liters. or 0.28 gr/liter.

Looks like she might be starting to Flower only been 5 days

Plantas sanitas 11 semanas. Se ven bien saludables con flores recinosas Y grandes.

Another week past by and we must say that these plants have a visable change almost every day in the last week they stretched to 90.4 cm we think by now the growing is over and the plants put all of their energy in to developing some pretty fine buds in the pictures a nice closeup shot of the developing bud as promised last week. No changes in the nutrients we love this brand super easy to use and the plants look great no deficiencies everything is great we are very blessed with these easy to grow plants highly recommend them to anyone That's it for this week Cheers, Nibameca

*edit I updated this week with a video of my Z-up auto she started flowering way later than the others so I kept her in my closet by her self because she was getting big and bushy during the veg stage while the other girls were flowering. Gosh these girls are really packing on weight and they smell so good.All 3 of these ladies are just seeping with trichs and resin. The FBA2504 smells really fresh crisp and almost citrusy but there is a very strong smell of a fresh blueberry that really gets my attention.

The lst one is making denser and bigger buds .u can see she wants to make me happy..the other one smells very citrus..like it..green one smells bit like original jack her.dont expect high hield.but the people from growers choice say on website that they only produce 30 gr...looking forward to smoke it do

This week I decided they deserved better. Added some red/blue LEDs that are low output, 12 on 12 off, 29.99 Chinese, designed for house plants. Even upgraded the pot to a 11 litre Grownest.

D42: She looks like she was responding to the switch to the hps tent by going into flower, but I pulled out my last flowering plant and switched the bulb to MH so it'll be interesting to see if she revegs now of if she keeps trying to flower. I had a plant do this before and I ended up chucking it because it got confused and stopped growing. She's got tonnes of nodes now though, pulled four fan leaves from the main stem to open up the insides to light and due the half attempt at mainlining at a young age she's got weird posture and lots of branches. Gave her a feed of organic grow. D47: another feed of organic grow and humid acids. Some more lst, and picked four leaves off that were blocking nodes. D48: looked like she took almost the whole week to look like she recovered from the transplant shock. The lst yesterday made everything real nice and even. I think I'll keep tying her down and when all the branches reach the same height I'll change the tent to flower.
