Day 49-56 (June 18th - 25th) (Day 51) Slurricanes and tuna are doing excellent despite their hail damaged leaves. I’m seeing good growth and decent dry downs. One of them looks like it’s been ravaged by pests but I still can’t find any evidence or signs of a pest. I’m suspecting caterpillars so I’m going to grab some BTK killer and also some all purpose insecticide sometime this week if I have time. The clones are all really lagging so they won’t be flipped until July 15th at least. I’m still not seeing normal growth on any of them yet. It’s still quite gnarled and twisted. (Day 52) The slurricane and tuna roots are starting to poke through the bottom of my pots. This is usually from underwatering, a thick soil or a hot root zone. I’m going to give everything except for the autos a good watering with some runoff. I am going to start incorporating 5mm sand into all of my soil mixes to help make the soil more loamy and give it some better drainage. I will also top dress every container and bed plant I have. (Day 53) I was at a local department store today and I was shocked to see pallets of Destiny dark matter soil selling for 60% off! I bought 10 bags for a hundred bucks. At any hydro store that would have costed me 250 at least. I might go grab more because it looks like no one is buying it for 60% off even. (Day 54) I’m going to be harvesting both of my indoor crops today and tomorrow or the next day I am going to be reusing the soil-coco blend for the slurricanes. I’m first going to till it, add a gallon of sea compost, a gallon of Destiny soil and a few cups of 5mm sand per container. I will use the excess for 5 gal pots. I will be amending with: 5 tablespoons of nature’s pride bloom 4 tablespoons of kelp meal 2 tablespoons of Gaia green AP 2 tablespoons of glacial rock dust 2 tablespoons of oyster shell flour 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal 1 tablespoon of rock dust blend 1/4 teaspoon of langbeinite (Day 56) The autos are really making a comeback now. I was under the impression that I was working against the clock and they would start flowering after 3-5 weeks. I guess if they’re stunted from the cold they will delay flowering. I don’t see any pistils or signs of flowering yet so I don’t think they’ve officially started flowering yet I didn’t get a chance to do my transplant this week or pest control. I will get to it ASAP because my photos are drinking almost a liter a day

Day 36 1/18/22 - Doubled in height last week! raised lights 7 inches above manufacturer recommendation. Gonna try to stretch the ladies a bit this week. I feel I have the watering part down as I water slowly and (now) I feel the bottom of the cloth pots to make sure I got it down all the way. Day 37 - a little more LST as I was late to the party of understanding just how important LST, and other techniques, are to increasing your yield. Once you do LST the first time it becomes completely obvious that this is necessary. Plants now need water at different times so I will no longer be documenting when I water. Also I think I correctly diagnosed a wind burn issue and therefore have raised the offending fan a bit. Day 39 - Noticing a little yellowing on some of the leaf tips and found a little more of what I'm calling wind burn on another plant. I moved one of the fans, set the lights back to 75% intensity, and lowered them back to about 20 inches above tops (Mars says 18 inches). I think the ladies will like this better than 3 Mars TS1000's at full intensity inside a 4x4x66 tent (450W total). Note - I'm struggling a bit with temps in this small room. Hard to keep the tent under 80. Then at night the substrate gets down to 66 along with the room temps. So, during the day, when it gets too warm inside the tent, I open the doors and things are OK again. This is not a long term solution cause I can't be opening and closing it every day. Plus it's winter and the outside temps go into the 20's (F) at night. Run the AC in winter? No way. I can't imagine what I'll have to do when outside temps go into the upper 90's every day. So what is the long term solution you say? I've just about made up my mind to do away with the tents and dedicate the entire room for growing. I see myself growing 12 of the same or similar ladies per grow - one grow at a time and I can only fit these if the tents go. I'm currently figuring out what is involved besides grabbing an AC unit and venting it and the room up into the attic. That is what I'm thinking at the moment. Day 41 - upped my game cause I knew that I could not be accurate using my current ph testing solution. Could only get kinda close maybe sorta. So I picked up a BlueLab PH pen (recommended by the "420 Scene"). Long story short it looks like I've been feeding the ladies something near 7.0. Now I am able to get 6.3 or 6.4 consistently. Maybe I want to be at 6.5. Not sure so I'm going for 6.3 +/- 1 for now. Hoping they like it better! Day 42 - life is good. This was a fun week!

The bigger plant is pumping well although it could do better given its indica genetics but that's okay... I think they do not give their best because of the lighting that does not reflect well D:, next cycle I will gear up a little bit better

La bambina anche se rimasta un po bassa per la mia potatura un po troppo aggressiva ma sta esplodendo in 40 cm di cime . Manca ancora alcune settimane alla raccolta speriamo che si compattino ed ingrassino il piu possibile.Per ora procede tutto ok sta bene e speriamo in un brl regalo dopo queste feste.

This is the last week of the Vegetation stage. At the beginning of the week they were trimmed to allow light to penetrate the canopy. Then at the end of the week they were fed a nutrient tea made from Gonzo Farms - GROW. On the last day the lights were set to a 12/12 schedule to induce flowering. Now, I will keep a close eye on them to spot the males. Once flowering begins, the males will grow "bananas". Then, those plants will be removed from the grow. 😜 Stay tuned for the Flowering stage!

🌿 Permanent Marker – Pheno #2 | Harvest Report (Week 13 From Seed / Week 9 Flower) A special chapter, done in a special way. 🌟 A Little Apology First… My dear GrowDiaries family — before anything else, let me start with a small but sincere apology. Because of the new file upload limitations, I had to divide the harvest + trim + drying reports into separate entries. I wish I could show everything in one flow, but I didn’t want to risk losing photos, videos, or important details. So today’s update is fully dedicated to Pheno #2, and next week we’ll honor Pheno #1 with the same love and detail. Thank you for your understanding — and thank you to @GrowDiaries for constantly improving the platform. 💚 🌸 HARVEST – Permanent Marker Pheno #2 (The compact queen who surprised us all.) Where do I start? This girl… wow. She stayed compact, she stayed green, she stayed loyal to her structure — and yet she exploded with floral terpenes and resin in a way I did not expect. She was also, in the end, the fluffier of the two phenos — but fluffy in a good way. Fluffy with volume, aroma, and resin. Not weak — not airy — just beautifully textured. The Reality Check — Bud Rot We did find one single bud showing a small spot of rot. This was expected considering the heat and humidity battles of the room. Others in the room showed more issues — but she held incredibly strong. Nothing major — nothing that affected quality. One bud tossed away, the rest? Absolutely perfect. Just honesty and transparency here, as always. Drying Process We dried her whole plant, hung upside down, untouched for 14 days in a stable environment. Two weeks later, she was crispy on the outside, perfectly cured inside — exactly how I love it. ✂️ Hand Trim – The Love Work Every leaf removed by hand. Scissors, fingers, patience, and care — nothing machine-handled, only craft. She trimmed beautifully, leaving behind full, round, fragrant buds. Final Weight & Cure After trimming and preparing: ➡️ 212 grams dry & cured Official, stable, clean weight. A fantastic result for a compact plant. Everything went into Grove Bags, sealed, labeled with Zamnesia strain tags to keep everything organized for the long cure. She cured for 2.5 months, and my love… She became magic. 🌈 Flavors, Aromatics & Smoke The floral terps are loud, bright, elegant. She gave me beautiful finger-ash, smooth smoke, and on the press — oh my god… Low-temp extraction with a mix of her and a blueberry strain produced an incredible rosin, clean and shimmering. This pheno is no joke in the press. 🌱 A Quick Recap From Seed → Harvest For everyone just joining: Germination — fast and healthy Veg — strong structure, compact frame Flower — she stayed short but exploded in resin Heat-resistant, even in tough conditions Organic super soil + Aptus program → she LOVED it ICL inner-canopy lighting boosted depth and resin Stable genetics from start to end Next week we will honor Pheno #1, our tall queen reaching for the moon. 🏆 DOGNABIS CUP — A Gentle Push to Everyone The Cup is now officially moving. Boxes have arrived. Seeds are sprouting. Diaries are appearing. Magic is happening. Deadline: ⏳ January 31st — plenty of time to grow peacefully, without rushing.

July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat. Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant). Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible. Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works. July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days. July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average. July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍
