Using Root booster and carefully spraying once or twice a day, as I see the soil dry... so far so good...

Ms Mia Wallace went to town and blew the f up. Lots of leaf growth but no sign of bud spots- I know it’s early days tho. Watered with half serving of bloom nutes. Not the ideal nute mix I think, but served me well last grow. Also, as I turned up the light to max power, I noticed heat stress so i turned it down and successfully installed the worlds most eco friendly trellis - one minute- hockey net - next minute - weed trellis. It’s called upcycling boys and girls. I know it’s shit, I’m gonna reinstall it one more 1/4 ass so it’s a full half-ass scrog. Point is, the canopy is flat, pushed that puppy down so there’s more distance. Light back to 100%. Humidity was a little higher under the canopy, even with the dehumidifier, so I put my inline fan back in (was just a booster in-line fan before) and the temp and humidity is dropping. Saw a little bug. Hit the top & bottom canopy layer with light neem oil spray then incecticidle soap. I saw a small critter so I put Diatomaceous Earth on a upside down Tupperware lid. Don’t know if that works. Last time I did a top coat of the stuff on top of the soil - something happened and bad nute burn. Anyone know anything about this? Finally, also tied down a bunch of branches to let the light hit the lower areas. Tune in next time, where I’ll show you how to make a trellis from a pair of spandex Leggings , Peanut butter and a single streamer from the handlebars of a kids bicycle. Keep your buds green, and your grow room clean.

Bienvenidos de nuevo! Esta semana he seguido regando con agua hasta el corte, no he dejado que las hojas se pongan más amarillas porque los tricomas habían llegado al punto de madurez que más me gusta. Se nota que cyco tiene productos muy buenos por el simple echo de que después de dos semanas de agua siguen bastante verdes. Actualizo la semana como semana de floracion simplemente porque no tomo pesos en húmedo, después de un par de días colgadas pasaré a manicurarlas, y para cuando seque subiré pesos. Creía que sacaría flores extrañas por el calor, o que tendría algún problema más serio a la hora de cultivar en esta época,todavía falta secarla bien, pero a simple vista creo que me acerco al peso de la anterior cosecha, ojalá. Subiré más fotos en cuanto tenga la manicura echa, un saludo!

She has grown another 10cm/4" this week! Flowers developing quite slowly compared to her tent-mates. I'm hoping this is a sativa dominant phenotype??? Can anyone shed some light on that please? I left the tape measure visible in the video for scale. Good? Helpful?

No problems at all, they are still green and healthy. White Widow is close to harvest. Its pistils are still mainly white, but there are many milky trichomes. I want to do an early harvest, to make its sativa traits more dominant, so I think I'm gonna chop it down on Sunday or Monday. Sorry for the bad-quality pictures. Northern Light just started to flower like hell after defoliation, it was a good action.

Ok these auto girls have been through a lot the past few weeks: three different nutrient lines, multiple flushes, LST, a bit of supercropping. All from a newbies first grow. So at this point I think it's safe to say, these AK48 girls are pretty bad ass. Coming near the end of my 4th week and they are flowering! I can not believe I've made it this far. They look great, growing daily, and make me smile every single day. I was having a lot of nutrient issues up until I received my sample set of Oregon's Only line. Holy crap y'all my plants look great with this stuff! This line just feels more intuitive for me. I had used the GO box nutes, then some Fox Farm nutes so I know I needed to flush before using the OO nutes. It worked out. I just went for It and used the recommended full strength. Running my pH at 6.3-6.5 flowering in coco coir/perlite. I feel there needs to be a slave to the plant song? Because that's what I've willingly become. I had shoulder surgery this week and not feeling super hot, kinda depressed. But looking forward to taking care of these girls each day has really put me in a good mood. Since my shoulder is out of commission I've enlisted my daughter's help with helping me with watering, etc I water with full nutes when the fabric pots feel light. Obligatory doggo pic :) Any and all suggestions, tips, critics are welcome.

Looks to me that the flowering transition has begun! I did some light defoliation, and LST. 1 Gallon dosage of the above listed nutrients lasts for about 3 days, before drying out, and ready for the next dosage!

" Il reste quelques gens biens donc je garde espoire " PNL Wednesday It's fattening and ot seems that the bugs are not around anymore but it's just an illusion as a low population in still a population so I'm still at war. Thanks for your inputs , it's when you are in trouble that you're realising that you've got a whole community here for you 😘🤘👌🙌 Observations : Burning tips of the leaves due to an over feeding // Lower leaves that are fading and falling due to the age // Old signs of PH fluctuation As my last runoff check was a while ago I'm about to check these values today 👍🤘 Saturday The small Grapefruits, the one with the 420 pin , is doing so so . Two of the main buds have some bud rot due to the high humidity of the 2 last days ... high humidity due to the fact that I am working without air extractor and box half open but I've closed my box for less than. 48h and when zinc opened it the wall were full of water drops ( more than drops ) To help with that issue I've done a defoliation to have a better air circulation around the buds even if it's not recommended to do it that far in flowering. I've also observed the trichomes and they are mostly cloudy with a few brown and like 40% of clear trichs : surprising as the looks like she may need 1 extra week or 2 before cutting

The plants start flowering last week and the light schedule is 12/12. I feed the plant every day. Hesi nutrients controls and correct the PH level, thats really helpful. Let's see what size will be the buds after 2 weeks.

Note: Moisture and Temp readings are done in the mornings. Lights are on an automated 17/9 schedule unless stated otherwise. Drip water system waters 1 Liter every 9 hours. Quick Notes: I notice as I go into full-blown flower, the plants are starting to need less frequent waterings, especially North. The watering system overflows her pot often, and the AKs soils feel relatively damp before the auto-watering starts. All plants are stopping their growth also. North is the furthest into flowering and is starting to smell and get sticky, the microscope is showing trichome development also. 📏: AK1: 36 in (91.44 cm), AK2: 44 in (111.76 cm), North: 24 in (60.96 cm) Day 64 (Jul 29) - Manually watering today. All plants drinking a bit slower, especially North (probably had a 0.5 liter overspill). Refilling drip water system tomorrow to get a better pace for watering. 💧: Tap: 7.45 pH Adjusted with pH down. AK1: 1.5 liter (5.95 pH, 1 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 3 ml FloraBloom, 2.5 ml CalMag) ~1220 PPM AK2: 1.5 liter (6.05 pH, 1 ml FloraMicro, 1.5 ml FloraGro, 3 ml FloraBloom, 2.5 ml CalMag) ~1150 PPM North: 1.5 liter (x pH, 1 ml FloraMicro, 2 ml FloraGro, 3 ml FloraBloom, 2.5 ml CalMag) 💦: 57% (37-67) - 🌡️: 27C (22-30) Day 64 (Jul 30) - Noticing Plants drinking slower. Soil not completely dry in the mornings as usual. Defoliated AK2 a bit more. Attempted to Supercrop but decided not to follow through (crushed main trunk between fingers without bending it over) Watered all plants and refilled drip water system with 14.2 liters. 💧: Tap: x pH Adjusted with pH Down. All: 14.2 liter (6.2 pH, 14.5 ml FloraMicro, 14.5 ml FloraGro, 33.5 ml FloraBloom, 33.5 ml CalMag) ~1250 PPM, ~2250 EC 💦: 49% (38-70) - 🌡️: 28C (20-30) Day 65 - Plants look healthy. Set drip System to water 1 liter every 9 hours. 💦: 38% (36-65) - 🌡️: 26C (20-29) Day 66 - Plants look healthy. 💦: X% -🌡️: xC Day 67 - Trimmed some leaves below. Humidity spiked unexpectedly, buying dehumidifier. 💦: X% (40-79) - 🌡️: XC (21-29) Day 68 - Humidity spike overnight. Manually watered AK1 & AK2, not North (didn't seem like she needed it). Looks like the plants are needing a bit less watering overall. 💧: Tap: x pH Adjusted with pH down. AK1: 1.5 liter (6.05 pH, 1 ml FloraMicro, 1.3 ml FloraGro, 2.3 ml FloraBloom, 2.3 ml CalMag) AK2: 1.5 liter (5.95 pH, 1 ml FloraMicro, 1.3 ml FloraGro, 2.3 ml FloraBloom, 2.3 ml CalMag) 💦: 45% (39-71) - 🌡️: 27C (20-29) Day 69 (week 9) - Humidity spike overnight. Set water system to water 1 liter every 11 hours. Dehumidifier came in mail, monitoring effectiveness throughout the day and tomorrow. Refilled water system and set to water 1 liter every 10 hours. All: 14.2 liter (6.2 pH, 14.5 ml FloraMicro, 14.5 ml FloraGro, 33.5 ml FloraBloom, 33.5 ml CalMag) ~1550 PPM 💦: 44% (36-70) - 🌡️: 26C (19-29)

Week 3 of flower, can see already some nice bud production. Terpenes are building up and making the room stink, has a dark berry chocolatety gassy og smell to it, just how I remember choc mint. The bud structure isn't exactly what I was hoping for but cant complain! Was a free seed sent to me after months of searching for the strain at a time before the v2 was a thing. Buds will be going through the trim bag at harvest so will probs give them more a uniform look to them.

Stretch has finished. Starting full on bloom formula. I always use 50% of what the listed recommended amount is. Full dose is just too strong. Major defoliation three days ago. Filling in fast. Will not defoliate much now till preharvest other than removing leaves to expose bud sites. Next week is the first flower flush. 24 hours straight water, then back to nutes. Always perks them up. PPMs dropped in number 2 this week from 800ish PPMs to 600ish PPMs. 1 is a much lighter feeder. The root mass of each are so different. 2 is long like a hippy's ponytail while 1 is more like a wispy, wiry Afro. Both are healthy and continueing to stack well. Frost is showing and the aroma is quite strong already.

Day 85: First Grow We’re entering a new week, and it’s exciting to see the progress in our first grow. The plants are thriving, and the buds continue to get thicker and frostier. The formation of orange hairs is becoming more pronounced, indicating that we're on the right track. This week, we’ve decided to order a microscope to monitor trichome development more closely. Additionally, we're considering adding CANNAZYM to our feeding regimen to support bud growth and overall plant health. Let’s keep pushing forward and make this a successful grow!

Well, the drought stress in week 11 really fucked my plants up, but Twiggy recovered, while Zoey was hurt pretty bad. If I did nothing, I'm betting harvest would've been 25% more, and Zoey's buds wouldn't look so crappy, but overall, I was so happy with this grow! I was under a time crunch, so only did minimal veg for 4 weeks, topping once. Daily watering with 1.8EC mix that was pretty consistent. Kept pH between 5.5 and 5.8. Kept tight control on humidity and temperature up to mid flower, then kept air circulation on to keep room humidity around 55% Things I'd do differently: 1. Veg longer - I'd love to try a mainline 2. Canopy control - wish I had spent the time on a SCROG screen, or at least a couple of rings. 3. More light sooner into flower. Waited about 4 weeks into flower before maxing out the light. Probably could've bulked them up significantly if I started earlier 4. Drought stressing - For Fucks Sake, keep a close eye on your plants, and the minute they start to wilt, get the water back on 'em!!! 5. Measure your run-off more frequently for salt build-up. Didn't have any problems, but it's a good best practice. 6. Set up proper closed-loop environment to allow for CO2 enrichment. 7. Set up a clone environment before you get to flower. Oops. Things I was happy with: 1. VPD control system (heat, humidity) during veg and early flower worked flawlessly. Never any nute burn, and super healthy plants. 2. Sterilized soil and grow-room before starting - never had a single bug or any mold/mildew issues. Used a MERV 13 filter on the air intake, exhaust through carbon to crawlspace. 3. Coco/perlite mix - super drainage, low build-up, very healthy roots. 4. Power meter - neat way to measure what's really going into the grow, so when your wife complains about power usage, you can show her the real numbers. 5. Photone app on Android S20 - Knew where my PPFD was for optimal growth control. 6. REX-C100 PID controller for toaster oven - super tight temperature control comes in handy for decarbing as well as toasting oak for moonshine.
