First Indoor Grow [Snip Snip m'loves]

In reference to the 2 that didnt sprout, I did some soil/root surgery and it's seemingly saved! I'm sure it's going to be a sick little plant, destined to grow smaller than her sisters and be.... less dank =P - The final non-sprouter, I tried giving it a motivational speech, but alas, nothing. Started Germination of 2 more before I realised me going all Frankenstein on them was going to work, even on one, I'm highly surprised. All I found sub-soil was almost a single leaf (that would have grown into a head) about 2 millimeters big, but looked decidedly dead, or at least rotting. Apparently leaves rot underground moist soil, who knew? [Null and void. I saved one!] Unfortunately 2 of 5 have yet to sprout (Though I'm writing this at 10:30AM, maybe a miracle has happened since last visit =] . I have begun germination of 2 more seeds. Any insight would be wonderful. I have Cannazym, & PK13/14, but I know that isn't for use until flowering begins. However once they're strengthened a bit I believe I can use Cannazym? I think I will invest in BioBizz Veg (I forget the name - But the one for while the plant is in Veg. mode) I know I need to bring PH down. I have a moisture / pH / Lumens probe, aswell as simple paper. Im thinking a small introduction of citric acid. However OF COURSE I will look into if that's utter lunacy or not.

16TH 10PM: RAISED LIGHT UP CONSIDERABLY, AS CENTRAL PLANTS WERE GETTING LITERALLY LARGER THAN OUTER. PUT LED's to 100%. They are full Spectrum 125w (Visible/IR/UV). 600W equivalent Only read the next paragraph if your into grow-updates.... While stoned. I went P-Crazy, this amount of illiteration on vegetation should have me in litigation... DAMN IT. OK So "Project pH Perfection" started 10PM 16th. Mission briefing = Bring 7.5 pH down to 7, preferably slowly. My aim is -0.1 per 2 days, but I'll settle for -0.1 daily. Preperation for commencing "Project Positive pH is Perfectly Perverse, Personally being Passive = Providing Poor Conditions Producing Plants Paralyzed to Progress Past Self-Preservation (May aswell call it Self-Vegetation, pre-prubescent plants might stay that way if 7.5 pH is not pushed down to 7... Begin Phase 1; Citric Acid + Water = 6.0 pH. My aspiration + my inclination is to push my plants in a protracted way. Pouring Portions which cause -0.1 pH per day is plenty powerful for the P-Possessed pH prober writing this Preposterous Poppycock. High pH? I'm coming for you. P-illiteration aside. 400ml of hard-water (7.5) required no more than 2x as much citric (or other substance beginning with C) you could fit on the end of a key. Learn from my mistakes, remind yourself just because its white and on the end of a key.... [1] [1] - Jokes aside, for the public good I will weigh how much citric is needed to turn 7.5 (Standard hard-water, if your kettle is coated with limescale, you have basic water. No not simple water. alkaline water. Why is 7.5 worth working to change? Well, 7.5 pH soil actually is on the border of being so high your roots have trouble pulling 2 [forgets which nutrients - Will remedy before end of sentence] nutrients, and these 2 particular nutrients are most used during the flowering phase so, oh my bad, its more than 2 nutrients. So 7.5 pH soil, these nutrients are not absorbed as efficiently; 7.5 pH causes 10-25% drop in uptake of; 1) Iron 2) Manganese 3) Copper 4) Zinc Getting to 8 pH will render those 4 nutrients uptake-efficiency <30%. Super Seriously: 8pH begins to effect phosphorous uptake. Which though even at 8 its effect is small, seeing as 8 will cripple nutrient uptake as is, effecting one of the most important nutrients even a bit, is likely game over. Yes I'm a pH expert. I have a pHd.... Get it? No for real because this was my first indoor grow, I seriously humbled myself on most subjects.

Creme manderine is so centralised, I want to try and promote growth on the branches with LST(Low stress training which otherwise it will grow almost exclusively on the main stem. Psst..i learnt LST from here :) Do you

30th June - My last post in this week all are being repotted tomorrow (There are 2 that were potted late) - I finally got lamp height right, and now have full life cycle CANNA products :) * 4 Very different kind of strains are being germinated today. I'm Picking up a new bulb also. * 1 New strain added * 1 New strain about to be germinated Excellent progress. Alkaline intervention with the homemade negative pH solution has nearly ended, done my last "high dose" I think.pH monitoring will continue and be adjusted as necessary. Lowered the output of my 125w fullspec LED. Running at around 100w I would say. First repotting done. Canna Start at about 4ml per litre on the younguns. Canna: Tera Vega use started. Not yet began PK 13/14. Soon... Lamp height adjustments are going to be made. [ MADE ] One plant got seriously dehydrated but is OK. I caught it in time. Considering capillary drip irrigation to never let that happen again Defoliation starting in next week or two. Lastly. New pots used an ericaceous mix. Same vermiculite volume stated at top. Thanks for all the love x P. S. I posted this in a hurry, lots of values changed obviously I just updated the new nutrient cycle. Will likely be done by the time you see this. Lastly lastly, I decided I'm going to start PK 13/14 but at about 1ml per litre which if I remember right Is 15x lower than recommended. Much love, mi amigos.

LST First attempt. Still bringing down PH. "Flowering stage" is very much a so-so thing, as some are CLEARLY flowering, while others are JUST beginning to. Will let you know at what my first LST attempt works out as, wish I'd got a picture but was under time constraints. (Moving to fabric pots of 3 Gallon size either tomorrow/day after. Entrusting someone else to pot something for me had adverse effects. Trying to undo that!) xo

If I could name weeks it'd be "GET ME THAT PK 13 14 STAT, THIS GIRLS GONNA DIE.... 😭WITHOUT... 😭 fat.. 😔Nugs...😥I'm OK, Im OK, her Nugs may not be the dankest in the land. But they're MY Nugs. Hmu if you want your plants drawn as anime characters, and when something like this happens, it'd be 🔥 artwork. First though, I'd better learn to draw, for sure that's the first step [/lockdownIsolationInsanity-Done] 1AM 19TH JULY: I find out my care taker for my setup HAD to move them... OK, shit happens. Sorry what this was 6 days ago? AND YOU LOCKED ALL THE NUTRIENTS AWAY SO THE PEOPLE YOU MOVED THEM FROM WOULDN'T SEE. And of course, of course he can't find (I call that lost, but he disagrees) the keys to where he locked them. OKAY.........😡 It's okay though, locks are made to be broken (when your tomato crops livelihood depends on it /wallets livelihood), and I'm a simple man. "Ooga Booga, Me break through cos me big strong man." Jokes aside I'm just dissembling this fucking lock tomorrow. And he's 100% on board, because if I'm giving him "__" % just to literally do the most basic stuff. Say, 20%... Sounds cool, oh wait no 20% of zero? Damn, that's zero. Yikes. So we're getting these plants fed ASAP. :) VERY EVENTFUL UPDATE :) * Apologies but this week will be light on details - Will just give the main events. LST - 1st Attempt ever, appears to be workinPotted in 3 Gallon fabric bags. Citric intervention over, but after posting this I'm going looking for ph down, Im unvortable constantly using Citric t lower pH. On 3 biggest plants (~45-50cm), using only Tera Vega and PK 13/14. Used old pictures, because of some chaos.. lets say. Updated pictures tomorrow

I bought pH down - A kind of melassis. I' yet to go test the pH 2 days after introducing it. Citric acid water made to 4.0 pH does work in pH reduction, however, it seems to be a temporary change in pH. I cant wait to see if the Melassis has worked in HOLDING the pH around 6. Citric acid seems to work in the moment, then a few days later you would check soil that was previously, for example, 6.7, reduced from 7+ pH. Using 4.0 pH Water., made with Citric. Within an hour I will know whether this Melassis has made a more permanent change. Wish me luck! Cant wait to upload some HQ pictures of the buds. As I've used a old picture simply as a placeholder -=

FILLER WEEKS FOR WHEN I HAVE NOT POSTED - Go to last week for up to date pictures!

PICTURE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF WEEK, WEEK 8 TO 11 UNDOCUMENTED =[

PICTURE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF WEEK, WEEK 8 TO 11 UNDOCUMENTED =[

Here is where documentation has started again, apologies I stopped from week 7 to 11. Harvest for at least 3 plants will be happening soon. Defoliation has been utilised, some LST, but not much else! Life took a front seat and I simply could not give them the attention they needed. Flushing beginning... Any moment now, let me know However..... Enjoy the photo dump <3

The discoloured images are zoomed in iomages through a magnifying glass. The main plants are very close to harvest =] I will begin flushing I think after 1 bout of Cannazym, with aim to harvest ~10 days after. I will tailor each to the plant's unique stage of life, as they're not all equal EDIT: Thank you to one of my commentors; Ezzjaygrows answered grow question 6 days ago Yeah I see no point in going to 10.. your diary says these are autos tho? They can take more than 12 hours of light. You got multiple strains going or what? I do have multiple strains, but they're all auto. Thank you for the point added to the list of things learned. I knew they could take more than 12h, but I was managing remotely, and I thought anything but 12-12 would require , say, 18h for 6 weeks, 16 for 2, 12hr for flush period (I'm aware had I given them more light it wouldnt have taken 12-13 weeks.) On the positive side, I saved a picture of a "best case" Creme Mandarine bud, and reasoned my way to "Yeah mine will probably be 35% as nice, in quality, yield etc." - Sure, these arent Cup winners, but FUCK ME, did they turn out so much better than i expected. Now why's that?; I humbled myself and lurked Creme Mandarine grows and learned and learned and learned. So thank you 'Ezzjaygrows', and thank you Growdiaries =] Don't worry. My 2nd will be diarie'd too, and this time, I wont be remote managing with literal remote CCTV and PH meters/Moisture meters in the CCTV shot. I lost 2 seeds thanks to the person i delegated minor observational management too, a young plant was let to dry out, harming it later on it life, AND he second guessed me constantly. Tera Vega / PK was missed because he thought he knew better.. Which he does... For outdoor.

Harvestest 1 head, too soon! Went up with a mission to cut, and it warped my perceptions.. harvested too soon.Shown 2 pics. Main grow #2 begininning in 2 days! <3
