WEEK 1: The plants are now in the first week of the growth phase and appear vital. Plant #3 has a somewhat strange leaf shape that is also slightly curled. I hope that this will even out over the course of the growth phase. At the same time, 7 days ago I prepared the soil for the next pot size with FLO (Living Soil Fertilizer) in a separate container. You can clearly see that the earth is increasingly covered in mycelium. In addition, the earth already smells pleasantly of forest floor. - Light Power: 40% - Soil: BioBizz Light Mix - Additives: Dynomyco mycorrhiza granules

Had to move her to a smaller space with a weaker light. But she has the entire light to herself. I ended up giving her one more dose of cannacoco A and B and the pk 12/14 also by cannacoco. Will be flushing her with ph’s water at 6ish going forward. I may harvest her top buds first and give the lower buds some time to catch up.

Day 16 – Strengthening Outdoors Begins Today marks the 16th day for my CBD Auto 20:1 from the 420 Fast Buds collection. The little warrior is continuing to show good progress! After a few days of gradual hardening off, I started taking the plant outdoors twice a day – once in the morning and once again in the afternoon – to introduce it to real sunlight and gentle outdoor conditions. Each session lasted around 30–40 minutes, depending on the temperature and light intensity. The weather has been quite typical for spring in Ramsgate: a mix of cloud cover with bursts of sun, with light intensity varying between 600–1100 μmol/m²/s. The plant seems to be adapting well – no visible signs of shock or stress so far! At the moment, I’m still cautious about leaving it out all day, as nights are still a bit too cold for such a young seedling. But I can already tell: the stems are starting to strengthen, the leaves are becoming slightly thicker, and the plant is gaining confidence facing the outdoor elements. This is a special project for me – a true budget-friendly outdoor grow, where I’m letting the natural light and environment shape the plant’s journey. No artificial supplementation – just patience, observation, and care. Looking ahead: In the coming days, if the temperatures stay kind (especially the mornings), I plan to gradually increase the time outside, and soon transition the plant to full outdoor life. Step by step, no rush. Overall feeling: Happy with the plant’s spirit and the direction this grow is taking. The bond between grower and plant grows stronger with every little sun session! Day 19 – Full Sun Adventure and Hydration Today marks a big milestone for my CBD Auto 20:1 plant – its very first extended outdoor session! The weather has been absolutely perfect, with bright, strong sunshine all day long, delivering a consistent light intensity above 1400 μmol/m²/s. Feeling confident after a successful hardening-off phase, I kept the plant outside from the afternoon well into the evening, enjoying the natural elements. To support the plant through this sun-filled day, I provided a generous watering with 1L of clean, pH-balanced tap water. I continue to carefully oxygenate the water before use, promoting healthier root development and stronger overall growth. The plant is responding beautifully: Leaves are vibrant and standing tall. Stem is gaining thickness and resilience. Overall growth structure looks compact, healthy, and well-adapted to natural light. I’m very pleased with the progress. If temperatures remain favourable tomorrow, the plan is to move the plant outside from early morning and allow it to enjoy the full day’s cycle under natural light – another important step towards full adaptation to outdoor life. One day at a time – and the journey continues! Day 20 – First Full Outdoor Day! Another big step forward for my CBD Auto 20:1 plant! Today, for the first time, I moved the plant outdoors for the full day to enjoy the natural sun and fresh air. The morning started strong, with a bright clear sky and an impressive light intensity of 1600 μmol/m²/s. The air temperature was a perfect 22°C, giving the plant ideal conditions to embrace the full outdoor environment. Observations: Leaves are standing tall and reaching toward the sun, showing excellent energy and adaptation. The stem is gradually thickening and strengthening, becoming more resilient with each day. No signs of stress or drooping, even under intense midday light. Environmental Conditions: Full sun exposure throughout the day. Light breeze, but nothing too strong – just enough to naturally strengthen the stem. This is a major milestone, and the plant looks truly happy and energetic! From here, the focus will be on gradually adapting it to full day-night outdoor conditions, allowing it to thrive naturally under the UK summer sun. The outdoor adventure has officially begun – and Sators is back in the race stronger than ever! Day 21 – Surviving the Heatwave, Growing Stronger Another exciting day for my CBD Auto 20:1 grow! The weather gave us a real test of strength yesterday, and my little warrior is showing amazing resilience. Conditions: Peak sunlight intensity: around 2000 μmol/m²/s – incredibly bright and intense! Temperature in direct sunlight: reached up to 35°C during the day. Nighttime temperatures still remain low, so for safety and steady development, the plant continues to be brought indoors overnight. Despite the daytime heat spike, the plant handled it impressively well: Leaves are vibrant and wide open, reaching confidently towards the light. Stem has gained more thickness, showing clear signs of strengthening after the outdoor sessions. No visible stress such as leaf curl, wilting or discoloration. Observations: The combination of intense sunlight and warm temperatures has definitely accelerated photosynthesis and growth rate. At the same time, careful night protection ensures no shock from the colder UK nights. Balancing between the power of the sun and the comfort of indoor shelter is paying off! It’s fascinating to watch the plant adapt to real outdoor forces day by day – it’s growing not just bigger, but stronger, smarter, and more resilient. The outdoor training continues… and so does the journey of “Sators” in this race!

He hecho varias podas para controlar el crecimiento de las plantas. Sirve también para hacer las ramas un poco más fuertes, porque es una variedad que tiene tendencia a crecer alta, fina, con ramas débiles.

I used half the recommended dose of Indo products for each plant through this grow. The monkey juice is half recommended making it every week rather than full dose every two. The sticky bandit was fed with it every week at half dose till later on. Topped with Black Earth. Started top feeding Goguano Super Bloom 2-9-5

Bueno, aquí están estas candy caramelo de Zambezaseeds, la verdad que esta genética me está gustando tienen bastante densidad y son algo chatas , los nudos están muy juntos y eso me gusta porque el cogollo compacta más a mi parecer. Sigo regulando las condiciones del ph en cada riego en 6,2 y actualmente no supera el 50% de humedad ni sube de 26 grados. Estando a finales de mayo not bad por las condiciones climáticas pensé que sería algo más complicado 🤷‍♂️. Gracias a Mars hydro y a Zambezaseeds por hacer posible estos proyectos. . Www.mars-hydro.com web: http://bit.ly/2uJAjgy ts600: http://bit.ly/3cnv0Ev code: an420 . Buenos humos fumetillas , las semanas que viene más y mejor 💪🖤.

Still on cruise control. Had 1 plant crisp up early from the late watering a couple weeks back. I think cutting the cal-mag out at week 3 may have hurt the BBB and GMO Zkittles some as they yellowed out earlier then I would have liked. Either that or they got hungrier and I didn't correct it, but I will watch it more closely the next time I run it. First set of pics are the beginning of week 7 and the last set are from end of week 8 as marked. I will post an end of week 9 update before harvest and week 10 will be bud shots either after drying then week 11 will be off the branch shots or I may wait and combine both into week 10.

1/25/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 1- took 2 Tops today and cleaned up a few lower leaves that were hanging down. The FiM seems to have worked well and looks like I have three branches coming in where it was FiMed. 1/26/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 2- took 2 Tops from the sides and took a little of the foliage that was touching the lid. She seems to be doing very well.. Water change day tomorrow.. YAY!! will get a good picture of the roots and see how she is doing. 1/27/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 3- Water Change Day! I noticed a slight red coming in on the STEMS which I added a pinch of EPSOM salt to help correct. I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FLoraBloom= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 1/28/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 4- I cleaned her up just a little bit on stuff hanging down. I also made sure the PH is balanced so she could soak up the New Nutes. 1/29/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 5- I Got sick, Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/30/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 6- I was still to sick to go to my grow room... Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/31/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 7- First day back.. Her PH was down to 5.72 so I raised the PH back up closer to 6.0, I took a few pictures and got her height.. Feeling better through prayer so was able to get some pics today.

11/17 Week 8 Man I will be glad when this grow is over, if making mistakes promotes learning well... Im a fricking PHD ... Ok progress on Maggie the yellow is limited to the very top as buds are building in particular those a couple inches from the top. Thinking another root drench is in order, cant hurt and letting her dry a bit as a prep. Looks like tomorrow Layla doing ok she exhibits far fewer problems but the same issue are present she is just a hell of plant along with the Runtz which she shares the tent. Thinking about the feeding tomorrow will decide what to do then. They have plenty of time to finish up, had some issues on germination on the grow following so looks like it may be delayed a week from the scheduled 2 weeks. Maggie may need it. 11/19 Have stumbled onto to something it seems. The further I move the lights out, they are now at twice the "ideal" placement of 14" at 28" and the yellowing is disappearing to a great extent. Problem with this of course is not enough light at bud sites not on the canopy which lets face it is most of your bud. It is absolutely something that makes the plants insanely susceptible to light burn. New one for me but maybe some of yall know so making a question of it. Pics at lights out only and I missed today so new pics later if I get back in time. Update : Defoliated and tightened training on all three to spread things out from the center and open up the light and air paths. Raising the lights is working just wish I knew why as lights are higher than crap with little room for more than a few more inches. Would drop the watts to 450 but need the heat to keep the grow room level as our temps here swing 40 degrees all the time. Something I learned with the help of a carbon filter. If things normalize will begin dropping lights to see what happens. 11/20 Setting the lights at 24" as I am not risking yield any further than that on Layla and the Runtz, Have the canopy as level as it can be with Brandy getting the least light being on a coco coir block (heh) for height, which she is responding well to since I opened up the plant and no longer worried over mold issues in that main bud. Have Layla on a milk crate to bring her into decent light as well as the Runtz. She is just a lovely thing building those white crystalline buds. Maggie has turned into a beast at least I know her root ball is huge from the growth above. Seriously defoliated her removing several small lower branches and leaves blocking light and air paths. Next feed will be continuing what seems to be working, Epsom salt and bloom nuets (no calmag with epsom salt) with a foliar feed after lights out which may well be with calmag. Foliar feeding today at lights out, one quart sprayer with 1ml CaliMagic and 0.5ml wetting agent un-PH warmed to 75 F before spraying (our tap water comes out at @50F so...), just trying to hit hard and effective * New Pics after foliar Update Folks its taken 8 weeks and a final piece of the puzzle provided by Grey_wolf resulted in a near full strength cal-mag foliar feeding and the last def bites the dust. See what happens from here but its the first time I have felt good about this grow since the bad time germing at week one. *big sigh of relief* Have a whole list of things I will never do again in soil more about that at harvest. Right now I need to work on why calcium is blocked at the roots but thats another day right now I just wanna look at em. 😁 11/22 Another foliar feed same as before just diluted 30% and all three got it today JIC Cannot find a pale leaf or top and hairs are standing up on the top buds for once and buds building nice on the lower ares the defs were cleared up first. Going to stop the foliars for a few days see what happens but will resume at first sign of need. Maggie has potential even after all this and we going to help her be all she can :D 11/22 Feeding day - Bio-Bloom 7ml - calmag 4ml - Recharge .5tsp / gal at 6.5PH to all three. No foliar today 11/23 The thickness of the hair growth on Layla is amazing! Will try and get pics at lights out of it if my crappy camera will catch it. Never seen anything like it, once again THIS this is what we intended by growing Stardawg :) Update: Pics and vid hope it comes through well enough as for the green in that tent and the dense hairs on Layla

Hey everyone! 👋 Another week and another update, and in this week I finally flipped my babies! (and it wasn't a failed attempt) 😍 They are now in the 12/12 cycle and I must say last week's recovery was crucial to finally do it! Besides of all that this week was quite uneventful compared to the other ones (which I suppose is a good thing! 😝) The only things worth mentioning besides what I already wrote is that I overfed my babies (double dosage) but it seems they took them well and that Boomer and her sisters (specially Boomer) get thirsty really fast compared to before... which means I need to water them more frequently which isn't terrible. I also finally have some new time lapses 😊 I hope you all enjoy them! Thanks for reading! 🙌

Growth slowed a little due to lights off temps dropping during the snow we had early December. Not worried about it. For the love of ganja

On day 1 I adjusted the reservoirs PH from 6.4 to 6.0. The tallest cola is 5.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10" from the light. On day 2 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. The tallest cola is 5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10" from the light. On day 3 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.0 to 6.3. The tallest cola is 4.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 8"-10" from the light. I did my last major defoliation in order to bring more light and air flow deeper into the canopy. The plants are progressing as expected. No smell yet and the pistils are showing more each day. On day 4 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.4 to 6.1. My mini dehumidifier was emptied after being 3/4 full after 5 days running. My tallest cola is 4" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 8"-10" from the light. On day 5 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.0 to 6.3. My tallest cola is 3.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 8"to 10" from the light. The plants buds are growing in size with more pistils showing every day :) On day 6 the PH of the reservoir is 6.2. My tallest cola is 3.5" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 7"-9" from the light. It looks like the stretch has finally stopped. I experienced a Runaway with my blumat on my right side plant. I reduced the flow of that blumat by 1 carrot and will monitor the situation going forward. After adding my carbon filter to my exhaust I realized it was drawing the heat from my box causing in proper heating. I will try to reduce the air flow of the carbon filter to make it easier to keep the heat in the grow box. On day 7 the PH of the reservoir is 6.2. My tallest cola is 3.25" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 7"-9" from the light. I did one last major defoliation on day 21 of flower to improve airflow and light penetration keeping only the top leaves of each cola.
