Dark Star Diary

@The_Good_Twin, you should be proud mate . Nice job 👌👌

@DevilsBud, Thank you very much. I’m very proud of it!

@The_Good_Twin, nice , i myself do a 3 weeks flush to my girls, but you definitely getting closer to harvest 😅💚💨💨💨💨💨

@DogDoctorOfficial, Thanks. One more week of nutrients, then a week of flush, then hopefully a great harvest!

You're welcome @The_Good_Twin, :) My one will be probably very different especially in size because, if everything going well, I'm going to use a 3,5l pot...through the end So, a little lady...but flowers can be the same 😉 Happy growing and have fun 🌱

@Belverde, Thank you very much. It is my first time, and I must admit that after seeing some of your previous diaries, and their success, I can’t wait to see how your Dark Star differs from mine. I feel like I’ve entered a new world, and I’m ready to explore and try new things. I’d appreciate you looking in from time to time with some insight if you feel I need it, or even if I don’t. I’m eager to learn and improve my skill set.

@The_Good_Twin, Okay mate 👌

@Ferenc, Thank you. I really appreciate that. I’m actually in the 12th week of my grow, but I just found out about this site. So, I am slowly going to populate this diary with all of my own logs that I’ve been keeping as well as the pictures I’ve taken along the journey. Check back in a day or two and I’ll have it all caught up.

@Tweezer, Thanks for the compliment and encouragement. It’s greatly appreciated.

@Lacrima, Thank you very much!

@Growman2020, Then yes, 1 successful clone (on accident). I’m currently doing the same exact thing for my Blue Ox plant as well. When my Blueberry Muffin and Blue Ox were in my small tent, their branches would get jumbled. When I was turning it while watering, one of them got caught up and broken off. I quickly did the same thing with it and it still seems to be growing in a solo cup on the side as well. If you look through my pics they are in the front right hand corner of my tent. If you’d like to see them.

@The_Good_Twin, so you answered my question, yes you did clone it successfully, not deliberately, one time.

@Growman2020, No. Unfortunately all of my attempts to clone her failed. Luckily I still have 4 more DarkStar seeds for future grows. I did have one branch that broke off when I put my support net in, and I was able to get it to continue growing in a solo cup. I actually harvested it before the main plant. I’m actually thinking of creating a diary for my successful “Solo cup challenge”, but I haven’t decided yet.

@Growman2020, Problem solving 101 (I guess). I had a plant that needed to grow, but I had made a mistake early on in the DarkStar grow where I left the runoff water sitting in the plant pot basin. It became water logged, with big fat, swollen leaves. It cleared up after I emptied the water. I figured a solo cup would need drainage as well, so I cut holes into the bottom of the cup, then placed it into another cup. It still needed a way to stay a little above the bottom cup to provide space for the runoff water. With the rubber band, it would provide added friction to the plastic in the cup and can be placed lower on the cup with the plant so that it sits higher in its collection cup which provides additional space for water to drain into, but also makes it easy to pull it out and empty the runoff water. Hence, freshly fed plant with wet soil and roots, but still allowed to dry normally by absorbing the moisture instead of just sitting in water and drowning. At least that how my brain saw the problem and developed the solution. The fact that it may help other growers is an unexpected bonus!

@The_Good_Twin, I was pretty sure you might ask that. It was related to week 2. The good idea was the rubber bands around the solo cup to keep the inner cup out of water.

@Growman2020, What does? Sorry, but this comment isn’t clear as to which idea was the good one, and I’m curious.

@MrHightimes, Funny you should say that! I ordered some new supplements and started adding Floralicious Plus today in my Blueberry Muffin, and Blue Ox diaries currently growing. I also ordered the Liquid Kool Bloom, but it hasn’t arrived yet. I also already have the Ripen (dry), and DID use it on the DarkStar Kush. I’m very impressed with your contest success!! 6 awards (4-1st place, 1-2nd place, and 1-3rd place out of 11 diaries) 😳! I can only hope!! Anyway, I will begin following you, and we can become better growmies to compare nutrients and all other growing topics. Thank you very much, and have a great day!!

@The_Good_Twin, also love i have another GH buddy to compare feeds with! 😏 I recommend floralicious next, but i've added their whole line up! also really like Ripen for that finish week! also use that light for my veg and like it alot too! there 300 respec is a nice flower upgrade. ...But people will be offering u lots of lights on this website soon, you are doing great work!!!

@MrHightimes, Already there! I have small hygrometers inside each jar, as well as small 58% Bóveda packs to keep them right where they need to be. Curing weed takes patience; and I’m glad I’m a patient person. Thank you for your kind words, I truly appreciate them.

@MrHightimes, If you decided to use a net, be mindful that some branches may be easily broken off when you’re manipulating the plant into place. I broke one completely off my first plant, then again on the Blue Ox when I moved them into the larger tent once I harvested the DarkStar. I bent/broke other branches as well, but not completely and taping it up provided enough support to keep it in place and continue to grow. Good luck if you decide to try it!

@@ThePassionForWeed420, Thank you.

@y0shimitsu, Thanks. I’m still uploading everything I’ve done so far, so check back soon and I’ll have all 12 weeks uploaded.

@The_Good_Twin. Thanky you i made several diaries with tutorials and reciepes you can see it in the titile of the diaires ( +Tuturials) and yes good i have seen your diary,iam better prepared now

@Mrs_Larimar, Thank you very much. I’ve looked through several of your diaries a while back and was impressed with your work. I have no doubt that yours will be awesome when it’s all done. Best of luck to you, and thanks for taking a look at my baby. I hope it helps you grow yours well. Happy growing!
