BlumenBot DZ1 - Cinderella 99 01

8/28 - first feeding since being popped into the soil and left for a week while I traveled.

8/30 - first feeding week 2, lowered the light 5.8ph 72.3*F 365ppm

Lazy as fuck lately, so damn busy tho so I'm slacking on updates and plant care! I'm switching nutes to Canna so hopefully that gets me back on the right track. 9/12 - 5.8ph water only feeding

9/13 - week 4 is starting out with a beheading! I'm going to see how many level tops that results in but if all the branches she has no end up in solid tops I think this is the only topping she will need. Canna nutes arrive Wednesday so she will get her first new feeding then. Need to get a VPD sensor for the veg chamber and I'm putting the Blumat into the soil. 9/14 - tucked the big fan leaves below the tops, 4 even height tops now, may get 1 more topping but this might be enough. Canna nutes arrive today! 9/19 - she didn't dry out enough for a feeding this week so Canna nutes will have to wait.

Slacking on updates but she's not slacking on the growing!!! Massive and strong from the Canna nutes.

10/3 - one last wire restraints adjustment to make her just a bit wider and add light to the growth in the middle. I'm not trimming anything out! One topping a little restraint and letting her do her thing seems to be all she needed to give me the canopy I was after! Stoked on the Canna nutes!!!

10/4 - feeding day, not sure where I messed up my updates here but it's now in week 7. Canna nutes are so damn simple!! Very little change from week to week and so much quicker. Went from 30+ mins with the dry nutes down to 8 mins with Canna. 10/7 - feeding day. Debating if I should put her into flower for next week while I'm out of town or if I should let her chill in the veg box till she's into the light... 10/9 - feeding and setting up auto feeding for the next 7 days while I'm gone out of town....hopefully she doesn't grow into the light on me but I have no clue what will happen!

10/10 - she's running on auto feeding for the next 7 days 😬😬😬

Ran on auto feed while I was on a trip and the hose popped off at some point flooding my grow box and not watering the plant for at least a few days! So pissed that happened I'll have to build a new box... the plant did fine though, a bit thirsty when I got home bit she bounced right back.

10/18 - I trimmed A LOT out! I left 2 fans per branch at the top and 2 fans at the bottom. Cleaned up the bottom 1/4 of the plant and some of the smaller sucker shoots. Main tops are very thick with dense nodes. Light all the way through now. 10/20 - a little heavier feeding this time around. Also put her in the newly repainted flower chamber, adjusted the light height and intensity and keeping her on an 18 hour schedule for a while longer to gain a bit more height. I will probably flip to flower Sunday the 7th. A 5ml B 5ml Cal/mag 5ml Zym 5ml Boost 5ml Rhi 4ml Rezin 2ml Terpinator 5ml 5.8pH 70*F 1010ppm

10/28 - rough 10 days or so with her being pretty sad and I think completely stunted. I'm not sure why, only thing I can think of is the Rezin nutes went bad cause they have a really bad smell. I fed her twice this week without Rezin and she seems to be fattening up but not gaining any height. I'm hoping she perks up but I did go through and clean up some of the lower growth and allow more light in. It's definitely a girl as she is showing pre flowers. I'm going to just keep vegging till I have the height I want.

Rough week but I finally got through the issues thanks to some help from the community here! Love you guys and gals! Cut out the terpinator and rezin and towards the end of the week cut out the Cannazym and Rhizotonic and bumped up the Boost. Things started looking much better towards the end of the week. During the time of no height gaining she really beefed up the nodes that were already there....this might turn out to be a lot of bud!! Im going to let her grow another 6" or so if I can before flipping the schedule. Pistils everywhere so she's got blue balls haha

11/7 - Another week of extended veg! She seems to be getting back on track. I took off a bunch of Affected leaves to let some of the newer growth to build up size. So so so much growth!!! 11/13 - stacked so so so thick! Flipping light schedule tomorrow!

11/15 - flipped today. Hope she stretches to 24" 11/17 - feeding w terpinator 11/19 - feeding without Terpinator + defoliation of some of the top big fan leaves. This thing is so thick wall to wall I'm not sure how to even begin to clear it out or if I should even mess with her. I think I'm just going to let it roll

11/21 - so fat! What do I trim out if anything?? If I let it go as is she will be really thick in the middle and hard to get air through... 11/23 - flush feeding 6.3ph 69*F 11/24 - moved the light up a chain link and spread out the branches as far as I felt comfortable. The stems are massive! Bud tops forming everywhere. Giggity!! 11/25 - HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!! she needed a feeding so I gave her a light one 6ml canna a 6ml canna b 4ml rezin 12ml Terpinator 820ppm 68*F 6.3ph Debating if I should cut some of the undergrowth out cause she is really thick down below

Week 3 - cutting out Cal/Mag. Decided to just let her go as is, I need to figure out a way to get more air through the thick canopy.

12/6 - Flush feeding with a little RAW Kelp. Also installed a small fan inside the plant to help move air through that thick thick canopy!!! 12/11 - Flushing and testing a new fan

Playing around with new auto watering system for a week long trip over the holidays. Last time I used a watering system for a trip it flooded my veg chamber for 3 mins a day...every day u til it ran out of water resulting in some damage to the cabinet...the hose popped off the pump... This time I'm using a RainPoint system with a 2.5 gallon reservoir. I have a black Rotopax coming which is an off roading water tank for Jeeps but it's lower profile than the jug I have now so should sit closer to the wall and allow me to put the plant back in the center of the cabinet. It will get painted flat white if it proves useful. I'm also installing a tiny pump in the reservoir so that I can keep the water moving around and free of unwanted things growing.

Getting ready to leave for the holidays. She will be on auto feed for 7 days. Hopefully 2.5 gallons gets her through! 12/20 - spread her out abit to add more light down below and allow more air flow. She is looking awesome 12/21 - water only feeding 6.3ph 12/22 - she's all set for 7 days of auto watering with 2.5 gallons of nutrient mixed water at 6.3ph. Pump in the reservoir mixing things around for me. 12/23 - and it's off on its own auto watering 5 mins per day!! Let's see how this goes... 12/24 - merry Xmas eve!!

12/27 - still away and the plant is in auto feed. Hard to tell if she has enough water...

Keep losing leaves not sure why... 1/7 - she's getting heavy and the nugs are starting to sway and lean, I may need to use some restraints from above to hold them up Backed off on the nutes with today's feeding, 660ppm

Getting close! I'm thinking of doing a 3 phase harvest spaced out about a week or 10 days apart to let the lower buds ripen. I'm just not sure when to make the first chop of the top 6-8"?! Took a small sample chopping yesterday, currently drying all by itself. 1/15 - flush feeding today, probably chopping main tops tomorrow

1/16 - partial harvest of the big top nugs, opened up the lower buds nicely and a very nice round canopy. Going to wait about another week before the next harvest. Shooting for 3 rounds of harvesting!! So far so good. 1/19 - flush feeding, buds seem to be gaining weight but not size. More are now dropping and there are new dominant tops forming, I may do a staggered harvest more often! These results are great. The test bud I trimmed is almost ready to blaze, it is definitely dense. 1/21 - plain water again today, not very many white hairs left and things are frosty, the nugs are getting heavy on the sides! Leaning more and more every day so they must be gaining weight. 1/23 - plain water again, I've got some fox tailing happening on the top buds, she's still packing on weight.

1/25 - water only flush, going to do thw 2nd chop Friday I hope. The buds are getting heavy, sticky, and more purple. I think this is going to be an awesome crop!

1/28 - harvest #2 got done today, took another 3rd off and leaving the popcorn to get a bit bigger and maybe more couchy hahah! These lower buds really have some color to them! Fun little experiment. Almost 3 oz off the first harvest of just the tops. 1/29 - watered with a little juice

1/30 - still trucking 2/2 - so much purple everywhere. She just slowing down on the water intake so I think she might be done but my drying chamber is full so she has to keep ripening. I'm wondering what rhe difference will be in effects from each of the 3 harvests 12 days apart each. 2/5 - she's definitely done but harvest 2 isn't done drying yet so she will have to ride it out here till Wednesday or so. The buds off harvest 2 are significantly more purple than harvest 1, and the buds that will be harvest 3 are so purple they are almost black! This was a cool experiment.

2/7 - into the darkness and cold she goes. 48 hours and I'll chop the remains. Crazy how much darker the buds got from chop to chop...to chop!
