Budget LED+CFL Grow from Chile w/love

Hello potheads, the reason to do this Journal is to register the grow results using a dirty cheap assembly, with low investment on equipment and hopefully without compromising results (LOL). The main reason to do this is bc I have tested previously the Bulbs when my last COB Panel failed right after two years and became void of guarantee, also, pandemics in my country made every attempts to delivery it to a technician almost impossible, so we had to improvise . Most of the used materials are accesible by home & groceries store (also online), the nutrients and seeds that are legacy from the previous project. The substrate is recycled and applied on 11 & 15lt Textpots. This is the reason also why there is a lite of lice or white fly plague on some plants that im trying to control with Aceite de Springhill by Anasac (locally branded paraffin oil). About nutrients: The reason to add Carbo & Sugar Is to stimulate beneficial bacterial life on the used soil.This also helps photosynthesis and root development in earlier stages. (ref: https://bigbudsmag.com/marijuana-carbohydrates-boost-roots-buds-thc ) Related to the strains: The G13 by GrowBarato Seeds: 2 Month Old AVG but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod (while waiting to cut other plants) , so they acted like revegged with the increase of hours. They're being trained with paper clips to become bushy & chonky units. (4/6 survived) Santa Bilbo by Genethik: 1 Month Old AVG , but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod, the nutrient deficiencies that show are bc they stayed on a 500cc cup for too much time and required transplant urgently, and now are recovering and generating vegetal mass AGAIN . The Reason that there are 2 plants in one pot its bc one was less vigorous, cursed, and against all odds, are recovering from stress shock & different carencies . ( 4/5 survived) Eleven Roses by Delicious Seeeds: 10 days Old (Germinated on 4/20/21 on 20/4 photoperiod). They r' fine, healthy Babies and growing on a steady rhytm . There are 8 because there are 2 spaces to fill , but also, they were backup in case all Santa Bilbo transplants failed miserably. For the last ones i need to select whose be transplanted to soil but that's a problem for future me, not me rn. I will VEG for the entire month of MAY in order to fill the spaces of the grow tent and try to update this diary at least once a week. Probably weekends. Finally, if there is something that it's hard to understand by choice of words or gramatical error , happy to receive feedback bc English its not my first language. Kind Regards.

Hi Potheads, During the course of the week there was a small addition of 3 More CFL LIGHTS through the use of Splitters and sockets thus freeing more outlets, the remaining were programmed to have different schedule that had increasing / peak /decreasing intensities of light sources according time before total blackout, harshly emulating outdoors but with the benefit of keeping thermals , consumption and electronics lifespam at range. VEGGING WEEK TWO: 10 days of 21 vegging remaining if everything goes according to the plan but there is an impending menace that has to go out before putting plants to flower . Plants had a good growth response to the budget light, used soil and non-canon nutrient combos , but in the aspect plague control has been a bit more tedious, and even through im using an agressive product (Aceite de Springhill - Anasac) it does keep them at bay but it doesn't totally eradicate them, seeing a few small flying white dots and some moths when plants are shaken in search of bugs , having really low stretch horizontal plants does make harder to inspect the reverse of the leafs, some of them with clear signs of being chewed , and the bit size is like a hole made with a mechanical pencil and that can react to pesticide toxicity if overdose. This is totally my fault because the reused soil with a lot of organic content is a perfect host for plagues and doing aggresive LST is easing the way to climb or jump towards the plants for any bug. For plant placement inside the tent , u can use week 1, pic 1 for reference. G13 Hashplant : The four specimens are the most affected by plagues persistence, because they have the most vegetal mass and trained branches that vermin can hide. In consequence, it also has received more spray doses of Aceite de Springhill (paraffin oil) and this losing battle contrasts absolutely with their spectacular growth , ramification and thick stems. Santa Bilbo: The four specimens received topping with lst through last week, if there is a net above their cup, its because i already know that when it's stretches, it shows ALL her sativa ascendancy, don't believe in her morphology, preflowering is very messy indeed!. Also, The nutrient deficency didn't had heavy impact on the plants after they were transplanted and received both nutrient & plague control formulas. Eleven Roses: All the plants were healthy but with different vigor, making the desition of the ones that will stay inside according to their reaction to topping. Eleven roses, althrough is declared 100% indica by her crushing effect, it can present phenos with longer internodal distance and flowering stretch , so i reccomend a bit of height control in it's grow stage as well.

Hi Potheads, VEGGING WEEK THREE: 17 days of vegging, only 14 remaining if everything goes smooth as butter , the menace was controlled by the use of aceite springhill + glycerine soap. Plants had a bit on a rough patch because more aggresive plague control means stress , yes, it has its throwbacks but at least plagues were 90% controlled ,with small quantities of flea survivors. Instructions (to evade toxic reaction !) states that next application should be 2 weeks from last spray. thats also fits that's intended to not spray products during flowering stage. Overall , they can still be considered healthy according to their different growing speed and ages. For plant placement inside the tent , u can use week 1, pic 1 for reference. G13 Hashplant : They were the ones that received more pest control doses , so they can have some burns and more darker color but still growing at great steps while they almost finished required LST and the pots are almost at 100%. Santa Bilbo: These one are growing wild and also more tend to be taller than the others on the grow. They are all growing steady, even the one that shares a pot and that was criteria for the next homies. Eleven Roses: The 4 most healthy topped plants were chosen , transplanted and trained . Because i want to put to have the most colonized soil in JUNE, i put 2 plants per pot, making a total of 12 plants, 4 of each variety.

Hello Potheads. As intended, i hope this will be the last vegetative week , the only thing that can turn on a red alert is lack or overdose of nutrients. By saying this, i aknowledge that some plants are showing some requirements but still GROWING AS MONSTERS. I Added Barrier to the feeding scheme, because i'm still with nasty plagues, but at a manageable level, but when i go full flower, i would not be able to spray things. G13: LST finished for these gals, they may by some defoliation before flower. SANTA BILBO: They pre sexed, showing pistils . GTG. ELEVEN ROSES: I just Hope that in the remaining days, get a manageable height. PEACE OUT NIGGAS !

Hello my beloved potheads. PLANTS WENT ROGUE AND FULL BERSERK !!! THEY ARE READY TO START FLOWERING. THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIT SHOW OF THIS DIARY , BECAUSE WILL PROVE OR DEBUNK IF THIS SETUP/ TECHNIQUES WERE IDEAL FOR BUDGET GROWERS. PLAGUES WERE CONTROLLED WITH SPRINGHILL OIL (Anasac) , and the mix with regular soap and top crop barrier make it way less prone to be infected & protected in case of other future realiates and relapses. I DONT HAVE COMMENTS FOR PLANTS EXCEPT FOR THIS: I MUST TAKE CARE OF THE FLOWERING STRETCH because it can make the plants hit any light and burn!. Plants are a bit overfed but their savage grow between weeks shows this ain't disadvantage at all , regards.

Everything went Green in this space homies! I'm just controlling the stretch with the net, not to emullate a full scrog, since the net Is from baggage not the scrog purpose to prevent light burn,. Feeding schema Is posted to maintain a small rooster of fertilizers, but barrier was not considered as fertilizer even when it surplus, in this ocassion it has the purpose to future plague prevention & expansion. Elongation of each plant : Eleven Roses : In this case they are being a bit low profile compared to other plants, expect that for a indica, that had LST . Santa Bilbo: they do elongate but a bit more controlled with the top cut & lst combo. This was a tough lesson because i already know the strains , indeed of all as quoted as first week. G13: But this one buddy still surprises me even being an almost indica legend, they are being one of the most forgiving plant i had know, but stretches way more than i remember !. Cheers! ☺️

A catastrophe happened, The 4 Eleven Roses died from what i expect, veing shadowed by the other bigger plants as i found the corpse of the plants very stretched, like they were searching light (i don't know how to mark this on this platform) . On the bright side there are 8 female examples, 4 g13 and 4 santa bilbo full of hell flowering. There is a bit of plague, but thats also a negligence i caused by reusing soil from the outdoors. Why i highlight this? because, as the plant are near mid flowering, the use of foliar sprays will not longer be a viable option and i must stick with the basics. Kind regards homies.!

As the grow is overcoming the loss of Eleven Roses, the space on the net is being distributed with the other strains. the other advantage, is that the text pot can be used by the other plants of the ground to colonize( i checked that the mass root is connected between pouchs. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ADDITION as now i have the space , is a 100w flat Panel in a vertical like distribution to reinforce low & mid branchs as i suppose this was the reason some plants died. There is a bit of nute burn from the last foliar sprays before its too risky as it can summon mold , but not acute enough to slow down plant bud formation. I will keep using barrier but rather wathering than spray in order to contain plagues, but it can also help a bit on flowering pecause it's high potassium level. The Flowering Food is based on Hesi Boost, Top Candy and Top Bloom, a pretty basic sugar based scheme, but i preffer to not use much products and stick with the neccesary ones ( according to my criteria) Kind Regards

i fucked it up, Yet still i had a chance of redemption as i got 4-6 weeks of flowering, yet to finish. Self Sabotage Is my passion but this one was unintentional as flowering was going bomb i thought they could require More nutrents as well. This one was a classical P K self inflicted shot in the cock. The small dots i interpreted as bug bites we're really p&k excess advising that i needed to shut my dick & stop snorting power point presentations. AND i didn't consider that Barrier alas i can use only on soil not spray was a heavy punch on my already fucked nutrient schema & plague support so used it a Lot too!. Thought AND Prayers on these beloved ones. As these lil green angels clings to life 420 homies!

Now i can see the plants are coming Back to life , but it's clearly that this shit Will mess my schema AND a bit of calendarization itself. As there we're different strains i understand that some had slight different reaction to previous glitched schema . Peace homies !

The plants are coming Back to life (except for two g13 that it's production Will be heavily affected) AND some branches already providing Big Fat BUDS , but it's clearly that this shit whacked uo calendarization as stated on the previous week ; Now it can he bulletproof checked by watching More closely the flower maturity . As there we're different strains i understand that some had slight different reaction to previous glitched schema , I'm stating with hesi boost AND top candy that gives me the confidence that Will not cause a nutrient burn ... Again ... Peace niggas! Peace homies !

Most of santa bilbo are showing an advanced nutrient deficency as i cant deal properly with the previous nute burn may caused a block too. Therefore, at this stage i would prefer wash the root during the end. Smell is orgasmic even when they are not complex they excel as specimen through, and i hope you fellows can use this shit as reference tho, big gaz leakz

Im coming closer to the ✂️ time, i tried some pics without the lights on to show a more realistic approach of how plants are evolving besides al the self inflicted plages and nutrients burn , i can wait to the plants mature while im searching for the 🕵️‍♂️to check if thricome ratio should be mostly amber ... Because fuck im such a sedative whore, big gaz leaks homies!!!!

Im coming closer to the ✂️ time seriosly on this one homos and homies , now i tried some pics as close as my phone allows to show a more realistic approach of how plants are evolving besides al the self inflicted plagues by being a cheap bastard, slight light and nutrients burn , i can wait to the plants mature while im searching for the 🕵️‍♂️to check if thricome ratio should be mostly amber , so i tried some close ups to show you. The pics shows a bit of light bleach on the already damaged leaved yet the buds are full of hate and resin , that can be checked on previous week, the smell on santa bilbo evolved to sweet lemon juice, while g13 smells like earth , cream and synthetic berries ( like sour candy), Santa Bilbo is louder in terms of pressence and projection, while most g13 became purple bitches cosplays of purple bitch, my favorite russian cosplayer.🇷🇺😇💗 Im killing it with hesi boost, top candy and citric acid(ph regulation, clean roots ) as all they can be used on the final stage, and these lil potions don't damage their asses as they are basically different forms of sugars with a modest amount of pk , i think there is no more time for these hoes rather than this or maybe another week. They will be sacrificed in a global warming postpandemic chilean spring solstice. What about the light's shit show , they show that a mainly 4000k & 6500k* spectrum mix (intentional as stated on the week i changed to 12/12 ) can give big fat stinky buds, so i expect that people that reach this journal and doesn't have the mediums or opportunity to proper growing supplies still can start with less and get some green , as weed is still controversial in a hell lot of countries, or places where high end technology is not on the local market yet. * for further reference my dudes : https://www.migrolight.com/best-grow-light-spectrum/ BIG GAZ LEAKS MOTHERFUCKERS !!!! 🇨🇱

Consider 14 weeks the flowering process itself at when i report i cut it also forced me to do the taste to something too fresh - ? So Consider this a final thoughts post as i wanted to show i slashed them,all at once as i was noticed that were on their limits on time range for a balace between not over ripe the g13 and not let mature enough santa bilbo chamos , it can be very easy to reveal what where each one as they were fuck very stable between them, that uniformity com from very stable bank indeed so fuck i eager to report & fly on some old school shit itself , and shit, this is fuck a sativa and indica differences so clear and by their own simple yet remarcable smell punch from dope lemon demon & sweet og hash ou that are refining from what stated last week & outperforming my own personal previous growof them personal SUCESS & SOPA DE MACACO & BIG GAS LEAKS N BIG DICK ENERGY 👌 . STILL A LOT TO IMPROVE HOMIES & I WILL DERIVE TO OTHER GROW TRY / FAIL / REPEAT & REPORT AF AS I CAN BE FOND OF THIS TIPE OF JOURNAL as on my time, were useful when searching from some previous insight on some grow experiment , or smoke reference as well, every shit can help even and sweet bless of autotranslate as well !

Expect a shortie plant until flowering, there comes a long sativa stretch, with big dick energy, yet it's quite short flowering and a stable line, the 4 plants can be confused as clones by the homogeneity. In vegging phase can eat a lot, unlike flowering where less is more and its better no tease em with nutrient nukes, yet has a remarkable resistance as depicted in my breeding fails. Give her a topping and some LST to make them more indoor friendly. Flowerbomb, not discrete.

This is a pure indica breed, although it still stretch a bit so it's need to be tamed down to help her branch more and expect a better yielding monster (transplants help too!). It's easy to grow and tolerates harsh conditions , even shittty soil but plagues can take advantage of her chonky side. Sweet Hash and Berries Smell, medium projection as it quite blend as non sharp and very welcoming ever for non smokers for it sugary sweetness.
