Week 6ix behind All week been struggling to solve the “mystery of yellow top” And “the mystery of not flowering autos” Since both coco plants are not flowering in the same manner i ruled-out the possibility of them being genetically photos instead of autos. The possibility that i’d get 2 different strains to be with such a rare deviation is atomically small. For now have developed a plan and then decided to go a little sideways. First, reducing the EC to 1.3 stable instead of trying to push the plants to the limit. This means a little less that 1/2 of the recommended dosage by the producer. Second, going heavier on cal-mag Keep mimosa fed every day as she seems to devour everything and sit in a light pot. Another thought is iron deficiency but will see in due time if reducing EC and changing watering schedule doesnt help will go and find an iron supplement. And finally, if they dont flower i will switch them to 12/12 but this is last resort, i dont beleive they are photos. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and beating your powerful minds with me to find a solution. Special thanks to @growinggrannie Stay tuned

The plants are ready to be chopped and hung for 3-5 days. I removed all the fans leaves and left them all branches on the main stem. The ladies smell so strong I can wait to see how they turn out when they are dried and cured. 1) I plan to hang them for 3-5 days @ 71 f and 50-55 RH, 2) Do a final tight trim 3) Than I will move them to jars and cure for 2-3 weeks I will update the diary with harvest pictures & weight before I move them to the jars for curing. I think the seeds might have got mixed up when packing because these three plants were all supposed to be the same and you can clearly tell from the pictures that they are not.

April 26, 2024 Day 71 This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes. Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well. The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/m²/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/m²/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/m²/d the week after and finally 32 mol/m²/d for the final week. The environment will also be dropped from 77° to 75° during the day and from 68° to 65° at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow. Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier. Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed. Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress. Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up. I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there. The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see. The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8°. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon. The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it. I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see. Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies. The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration. The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5° with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn. They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question. The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/m²/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway. The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76° to 77°. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75° or 74°. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water. Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress. The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great. The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything. The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even. Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely. Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density. Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2. As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/m²/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/m²/d. So it's all good now. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75°. I'll sacrifice up to 77° if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing. I did change the light last night to 80% power. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks. Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see. As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside. The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5°, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa

Plant 1 is starting to fatten up nicely , if I had to guess its got about 3-4 weeks left yippee... Plant 2 is basically almost ready she is eating herself slowly , I'd give her about a week or two will see , all trics are milky so I don't know if I want to do amber as I have never tried a full milky sativa before .. Also plant 2 went much faster than I expected 10 to 12 weeks but now seems like its done... Obviously more of a hybrid pheno then ..the white pistols you see are just new ones that poped up the past couple of days.. Plant 3 is dying off unfortunately have no idea why..

The growth of this plants is very structurally sound, impressive density, and exceptionally loud. My carbon filter must be spent. The exhaust from my grow room is 8/10 on the “stinky scale”

Start of week 5! Plants are doing great! Still some P & K deficiencies showing, but overall the bud development is phenomenal on the blueberries and is coming along nicely on the super lemon haze. I am still feeding an extra 2 liters to the Slh, this time at full dosage of part A & B, this seems to have helped with this past week (4). The blueberry are super sticky and smell amazing!

Semanas andamento satisfatório uma esta com 4 semanas e as outras 2 com 2 e meia!nao vejo a hora de poder apreciar a engorda dessas plantas!

This is starting 9th wk. Not going to flip unit wk 12. Hoping seedinds will get bigger. Autos showing sex, but no buding. I got 2 plants from fastbuds going. I think may some of the genetics are a Little old. Run them before my GG4 Isnt growing like the first one did. Just waiting. Any advice would be well appreciated.

I was a little away because of work and travel, but I'll show you from now on until the harvest, let's do it

these girls are getting to the finish line and they are starting to get fat, they are really dense buds, solid as a rock. Added some Epsom Salts and more uptake acids and bloom amendments. Cant wait to smoke these Dank Girls. They will also be going outside for this years outdoor crop.

4/13 SEE LAST ENTRY on germination BEFORE READING THIS WEEK. Like I said I didn't listen to my intuition and a rat got to one of my ethos 10th planet. All plants have been transplanted into solo cups with mycos with happy frog as the medium. The peat pods were all dried out it seemed. Must be were the humidity changed when i moved them last night. Substrate will change to a mix of roots organic, hf, and ffof when I plant up. I hope I have these lights high enough. I am using two 150 hps lights to grow these seedlings as best I can before they go outdoors. Rh outside today is like 36%.Forgot my timer but I'm coming back. Hopfully this will go alright I'm excited. 4/14 Aerogarden lights are way to weak. Plants have stood right back up after I put them under the two hps lights. I was worriedcabout damping off but so far everything looks good. Lights turned on perfect. Rh is 70 temp outside is 50. It reached 75 but well probably get another noreaster. Hope the good weather keeps up amd I'll have am early planting season. UPDATE PLANTS LOOKED GOOD AT NOON TIME. NO WATER. ILL Be here tonight and check again tomorrow. The plants get quite a bit of light from that window 4/14 and 4/15 plants seem to be doing better. The solo cups that were light I dipped the very bottom of the cup in a cup of water about an inch. The cups that were lighter I gave two reasons of water around the edge of the cup. No more water I guess until it dries out. I'm not used to doing seeds. Kinda depressing looking at my last few diaries during this time and seeing huge clones not seedlings. Whatever at least they won't have tons if shit wrong with them. It's been beautiful. I'm really looking forward to this season. UPDATE I CHANGED THECPOSITION OF MY LIGHT FIXTURE. I LOWERED THE LIGHT AS SOME PLANTS SEEMED TO HE STRETCHING. AFTER VIDEO CHAT WITH A COMMERCIAL GROWER I CLOSED THE BLINDS. I HAVE AN ANXIETY DISORDER SO I WORRY A LOT. I AM USING HPS BULBS BUT ITS ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. IM CONSIDETING PICKING UP A CHEAP LED LIGHT. HOWEVER, THE COMMERCIAL GROWER ALSO TOLD ME TO DO "WHAT I NORMALLY DO." WHICH I AM. I KUST GOT A LITTLE LATE START ON AN EARLY SEASON. 4/16 Despite the cups being a little dry I'm going to wait to water. When I do I think I'm goingvti soak the cup from the bottom up. Plants are really starting to take hold. Stretching a bit due to the hps bulb but that's just going to give them a strong stem. Plus I have the sky as the limit. I need to say these things as I feel like I'm behind. I have some autos I might run too. UPDATE: I watched several videos on watering seedling in solo cups. I weighed a Dr cup of soil and it was 196 grams. I weighed wet soil and it was in the 300s (hadn't totally drained). My seedling security os weren't much more than the dry soil. 207, 220 ect. Some were a little higher. I TRIED to water from the bottom up earlier by sitting the cup in a bowl but it didn't seem to work as well. Instead I phed my water and watered all the cups. I used two regular water bottles (16oz?) For the 14 plants. I'm glad I came over to check. Soil was dead dry on some and breaking away from the cup. I got run off in the trays and dumped it. I did this multiple times but im unsure if i got it all I'm just worried about dampening off or over watering. Plants look good though and are starting to take off. I'm hoping for the best. UPDATE AGAIN LOL. I got the feeling I wanted to check things out again so I went over and shut all but one if the shades. Why I didn't do that one I have no idea but since that deep watering earlier today the plants have SHOT up in size! And it's not like they're stretching. It looks it but the stalk is fucking strong looking and thick lol. The colors on the leaves have taken a much better tone and the tertiary leaves have now begun to develop at a pretty good rate! Using this scale is going to make watering much easier! 4/17 One light is brighter than the other. I can tell. The four under one light were drier on top and weighed less. I just plan on rotating the trays that way they will have what they need. Stopping at a commercial grower to show footage and ask questions. If I need to I will buy another light bur this had worked good for me in the past. I can't believe the plants shot up that much! I even say tertiary leaves on some of them! They went into a paper towel like the night of the eight so they aren't even week old seedlings. However, my cousin had seedlings later than this last year and he still had some plants that were bigger than mine! I weighed my cups again and everything seems OK. I think. I may need to water more often. I'm keeping a close eye on it. A fan is blowing GENTLY from far away. UPDATE: Went back over around five and I'm not sure it's one light brighter. I think maybe those big fat Ethos seeds are just drinking more water. Got the scale out again and used a different scale to measure. 180 for a dry full cup of soil. Yesterday was 196 dry cup? Soaking wet its like 350. Soil that looked dry and weighed like 220 240 got a little bit of water. I checked and there was no run off. Plants are stretching due to the HPS bur the stalk looks thick and strong. Healthy. They have a great vibrant green color and tertiary leaves are starting. 4/18 The 10th planet seedlings seem to bexdrinking more water than the others. Everything looks good and healthy. I didn't have much time this morning but topsoil was dry and cups weighed low 200's so I watered the seedlings a little bit. They probably need a full watering which I'll do when I get back. I used one bottle of water on the plants that needed it. I need to keep an eye on the soil on the solo cups. The two 150hps lights def dry the soil out faster. 4/18 Plwnts are doing great. Everything has tertiary leaves now. Stretching a bit but that's probably due to the HPS. I'll be lowering it soon. One bottle of water gives each ofvthe 14 seedlings a shotglass of water. I'll keep an eye on them and when they need a bigger drink I'll give it to them. Those Etho's 10th planet seeds are off to the races! I took pics but I did it in "work" mode and since my email is at a university I have difficulty uploading the pictures. If they don't come out I'll just put some up tomm. Also I noticed a piece of seed stick below the pool of one seedling. I wantedcto make sure it wasn't a scale but but its not. I sprites it and hopfully it will just fall off. I'll keep my eye on it. Pots are washed. I need to wash grow bags and my structure. I also need yo poison the area the ear wigs live.

Doing great, flushed her today with 5 gal of ph'd water and started a new feeding schedule as seen above I will alternate watering and feeding. One week water one week feed. I'll keep this gradually increasing the strength of nutes. As far as everything as a whole couldn't be better. Looking forward to her bounty.

Esta semana más de lo mismo aunque aún no ha terminado...jeje, le tuve que quitar el poso de café xq se le puso una pelusilla un tanto sospechosa(y mejor prevenir que curar ☝️)voy a hacerle un té de hummus, al volver el último fin de semana la he visto con los colores ligeramente más claros en algunas hojas(no sé si falta de nitrógeno o si es un problema de Ph)🤔, estoy planteandome poner mas luz y poner ventilación,🧐 al final de esta semana además quizá empiece a oler a ortiga en la habitación (ojalá 🎃☝️🕺) 🙌👌Quiero que crezca como la levadura!!!!🌵😋

I did her first water change on day 10 upped the nutrient dose and increased the reservior to 12 gallons. Gave her the first dose of armor si and humic acid. I topped her on day 12 to start 4 main branches. Will most likely top again and start training in about a week depending on how she wants to grow. The goal is a maximum of 5 weeks veg if they cooperate. They are under 240w qb and a galaxyhydro pulling about 140w for now. Will be adding more qb when I spread the buckets out.

Transplanted in the afternoon of 10/23 because they were rooting out of the pucks. Got some humidity dome cups coming tomorrow and another inline fan to handle intake to try to dial in things a bit more. Growing well as the week ends, #1 is the big guy so far, growing really well.

É stato il mio primo ciclo di coltivazione e purtroppo ho fatto molti errori che mi serviranno da esperienza. Ho sbagliato inizialmente la distanza della lampada e le piccole si sono allungate troppo, poi ho iniziato LST forse troppo presto e non sono riuscito a orientare bene i rami per farle crescere tutte alla stessa altezza infatti alcuni fiori sono proprio piccolo rispetto ad altri, altro errore quello di non misurare il PH e questo mi ha portato ad avere inizialmente carenze di fosforo e potassio per poi continuare con calcio. Ho sbagliato le dosi di fertilizzanti che dal prossimo ciclo alzerò per provare ad avere risultati maggiori in termini di quantità e infine come ultimo errore riconosco di aver iniziato il flush troppo presto (17 giorni di flush) quando avrei potuto dargli almeno ancora un’altra irrigata di fertilizzanti per far gonfiare i fiori. Nonostante tutto sono contento ed é stato molto divertente e istruttivo, ora le piante stanno seccando e poi le passerò in concia per provare finalmente il sapore. Ho fatto una pesata a umido solo di una pianta perché tutte e due insieme non ci stavano ma credo sia sballata come misurazione quindi peserò direttamente a secco. A secco sono risultati puliti 68g, ho fatto una concia di 3 settimane e il sapore é davvero buono. Sballo da divano, molto potente come effetto. Sono molto soddisfatto

Ok so it’s coming along fine see you next week

Tag 65: Heute habe ich die Pflanze dann seit langen mal wieder aus der Box geholt, die ist komplett abgeknickt 😱 ich habe sie mit Mühe und Not wieder in die Box buxiert. Vielleicht muss ich noch nachhelfen, aber sie ist nirgends gebrochen.😇
