So we are starting week 5 of flowering , so far so good she's done her stretch and now shes thickening up the flowers ! We had run into a nitrogen and potassium deficiency but thats been fixed ! As for this week we are just going to take it easy and let the plant ride its course ! A big thank you goes out to everyone who stops in weekly to check out the diaries !! You guys rock keep on keeping on ! -Happy Growing!

High. 🐸 Plants are growing fine. First pistils appeared on FD 15. That's all to report for this week, nothing to complain about, everything looks good so far. 💚 Stay green. 👨‍🌾🏻

Alright Then We just hit week 2 and all is well , have to admit she's ahead of all the others of same age , nice Growth in just 14 days😃 ....... Middle of last week I decided to start a little training by pulling her over to the side 👌 Im happy with the internode spacing but not the branching , begun heavy lst to try and bring the internode branching up👌 haven't decided yet on Topping 👈 Very little water given ,so far and rain water to be used entire growth Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 👉I WISH GD HAD DISCORD SERVER SO GROWMIES COULD HAVE A PLACE TO HELP AND TALK THINGS RELATED TO GROWING IN REAL TIME.....👈 👉SO I CREATED ONE ALL YOU NEED IS TO JOIN THE GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT !!!!!!!

It is tiny, but looks amazing. And smell fuel.

A week or so more I think, dragged on a watering on the 31st, new lights dry fast, quite a bit of shock so they are looking rough.

Growing strong , stretching noice, showing lots of bud sites , bent a few of the longer bud arms over a bit . It’s about to get interesting.

This #40 and #42 plants from Ganja Farmer Seeds where the best out of them all, this is a bias review though as they where not all grown in the same bucket system as these two and thus could not grow to their true potential. The bugs where solid rock hard and crystaly They are true keepers if your wanted a good performing auto for shits and giggle outdoors. The major downside is how easily they got pests and how the pests preferred them over the other weed plants. this is a bit concerning to me and makes me wonder why. More to come. @GanjaFarmerSeeds, If you like the images or videos I can send you raw files that have not been shrunk and contain no watermarks, if you feel I am in the top 3 of your BDOTY Contest that is :D

It was sometimes hard to understand her, and I feel like I failed a nutrition plan several times.

The third week of vegetation of my Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Nutrients: I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, still according to the table for vegetative growth 💓 - - Dutch Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾 - Dutch Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿 - Dutch Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Power Roots - Root stimulator Plagron Roots is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. I use it until the fifth week of growth 🍃🍃 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to provide their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. The 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag product is made from calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 General: Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 - This week I gave the girl her first training and she is slowly starting to form strong branches on the sides 😊 She is less leafy than her sister and also has longer internodes 🍃🌿 She is now in a period of rapid growth. It will be a tall plant, I expect🍃💚 Training: I regularly do LST and light defoliation for the girls during this period. Then I tie the branches to the edges of the pot with string so that the light shines on all the branches and the main stem💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

Was good

Haven't updated my grow diary for a little more than two weeks due to a severe back flare up. Yup, bad back strain, which has made it hard to sit, lay, stand for any duration of time. Suffice to say, much has happened since last update. Bucket change and upping nutrient (ppm) levels as I transitioned her to flower. And in that time, she received one defoliation in veg and a recent (and last) defoliation in flower. At this point, I just need to maintain healthy roots, consistent environment, and proper water levels with feedings. She's due another bucket change soon as ppm levels dropping and ph is adjusting upwards every reading. This is good sign from my understanding as a first time DWC grower. As far as feeding, lowered grow big (veg) and upped both tiger bloom and beastie blooms along with a splash of big bloom and cal/mag. Topping off buckets with about 1100+ ppm, which helps maintain ph in bucket at roughly 700-800 ppm. But it's getting harder to maintain those levels in flower, so that's why I believe a bucket change is in order. Here are photos spanning the entire 2-3 week period since last update.

When should they start flowering?

Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

ทำใบเรื่อยๆไปยาวๆ ต้นโตช้าจัด 🌿🌱🍃

Easy harvest single plant super dense and honestly it couldn't have gone smoother. I am debating removing the popcorn bud or revegging it... either way the main tops were the biggest buds I've harvested yet covering my entire palm. I will be growing this in the future I won't log the grow however. This pheno I believe is one of a kind and I likely won't be as pleased with a second run. The sungro#4 I grew in was excellent too and honestly I am seeing the relation between quality and the medium being used. I will be using this medium for a while. Until the final dry weight is In, Happy Growing and Happy Toking! -TRAGIC OUT- Update water curing was the best end result and will be the way I cure all my flower.

Just tucking away 🤣🤣🤣 Last weeks feeding was slightly too high for transition. I am realizing that the amount of fulvic/humid acid reduces the need for full strength ratios. This week we are going to feed 800 again, as the need for ppm’s has increased, but I am going to stay under 850 unless I see deficiency in leaves. The photosynthesis plus has been added to the mix. I know, I have recharge. However, there are certain strains in PP that recharge does not have. Specifically there is a strain for absorbing more from the lights. I have some purple stems from the light being a little to intense. We will be adding a little more cal-mag to the next feeding also. Looks like feeding will take place Tuesday/Wednesday this week. All plants are female and no Herms present for the party 😂😂 10-25 did a pre-feed of cal-mag, 8 oz. Later this evening I will do the main feeding 3 cups. The ratios are still 8-8-8 at 800 ppm’s. The extra ppm’s come in the form of extra cal-mag. Did some tucking as I am in stretch phase. So I work with a grower who is 76 years old. He has some old school techniques that make sense. He pre-waters his containers with 25% water. The remainder 75% is either nutrients OR additives that need to be added to the water. I took it a step further. I added cal-mag to the pre-water stage. Then I fed the nutrients second stage. Cal-mag is the “carrier” for nutrients throughout the plant. “Adding the nutrients after, makes it easy for the nutrients to fully saturate the soil and reach all the roots. This also prevents salt build up.” Ron’s Words. I will say my containers held double the amount of water using his method. 10-28 added some reflective material around the sides. My Growmie at RedmanFarms suggested I add it to the room. I am inside of an open air room for flowering cycle. Today was watering day. First watering was a light dose of cal/mag. Second watering was kelp, seaweed, photosynthesis plus, monk beans SST, fulvic/humic acid. One of the plants ( top left) seems to have a sulpher/magnesium deficiency ( it’s also the one with the soil I don’t like). I made some Iron/Tone tea by Espoma at 200 ppm’s and did a foliar feed. So far I see some progress on purple recessing and the growth has started to match the other 4. I have 1 more week of tucking to do and then I do a HEAVY defoliation on day 21. After than I won’t touch the plants other than feedings and water.
