Day 15 to 21 Wednesday
D16
Upped to 320ppm @5.8
Lights are hitting them harder, seeing faster growth
D19
320ppm @ 5.8
300w @ 16"
D20
Air and autopots on
320ppm @ 5.8
D21
Having the same pH issue where the clay is making it jump up. I love this problem. I am going to go straight coco and perlite next grow.
pH jumped from 5.8 to 6.5 in some of the pots. I will hit the res at 5.1 for a bit to try and equalize the pH of the pebbles and bring them down a bit.
Day 22 to 28 Wednesday
Day 22
Lights 330w @ 16" ~450umols
Autopots @ 320ppm
I will turn on the autopots every 2 days for an hour or something until they drink more. It will give the hydroton less time to mess with my ph. I don't know why I added them again.
D23
Lights bumped to 355w ~490umols
D24
Lights bumped to 370w ~530umols
Autopots turned on for an hour.
LST on main stem
D26
Did a little defoliation
D27
Bottom leaves showing some deficiency. Upping to 450ppm @ 5.8.
Added terpinator @ 1:2 to rest of veg mix.
Lights up to 385w
D28
- Lights at 400w
- 450ppm @ 5.8
- VPD in check
Day 29 to 35 Wednesday
D29
I forget.
D30
- more training
- Feed 450ppm @ 5.8ph
D32
- training. They are starting to flower and stretch a little. Here we go.
Lights 400w @ 16", 520umols.
D33
Upped terpinator to 1 part.
D34
Training
Day 36 to 42 Wednesday
Plants seem a little behind compared to last grow, but I think I can still fill the tent so I'm feeling optimistic.
D36
Upped feed to 550ppm using the ratios listed above. Stretch seems to be starting 😁
D41
They are stretching now 🤑 did a pretty dramatic defoliation and more training. Sites rising!
Day 43 to 49 Wednesday
Day 43
I am staying on full veg nutes for now at 550ppm. Not trying to rush it again. Watching for any defs and will switch to bloom then. I will update the diary with the ratios when I do make the change!
I have a feeling this will be a small set of plants. Unless they still have some major stretching to do, this will be really manageable and I'm looking forward to it.
D46
Switched to full bloom @ ~6.0ph. Having trouble keeping this pH in place. Stupid clay pebbles...
50 to 56 Wednesday
D50
Staying at 550ppm, nices are growing plantly. I'm a bit sad they aren't bigger because they are pretty frosty this time compared to my last grow. I'm guessing I'll be lucky to get a pound on this one.
D52
Upped feed to 650ppm...starting to see some PK def.
D53
Forgot to turn the autopots on after filling the res. So technically 650ppm today 🤡
D54
PK def subsided.
D56
Going to try something new since...whatever.
700ppm, 4:2:1 ratio
4: Astroflower, Bloom, Terpinator, Natures Candy
2: Velokelp
1: Micro, Magnifical
Day 57 to 63 Wednesday
D57
Trying something new. Going 4:1 on the bloom nutes rather than the usual 1:1.
700ppm @ 6.1
If I don't see any issues I'll lower nature's candy down to 2:1
D59
Seeing some burn but I think I just overfed. Lowered back to 600ppm for the rest of week, same 4:1 ratios @ 6.1
D62
660ppm, same ratios above @ 6.1
Alright last week I did some experimenting which I think was a bit premature.
I am going to follow the ratios provided by Remo but I'll add extra bloom rather than remove anything else.
Day 64 to 70 Wednesday
Day 64
Switched to the ratios listed above @ 790ppm.
Buds turning crazy purple over night. This is vraiment cool 😎
Day 67
Looking good but I believe I've caused a P/K lockout by experimenting with these nutrients :)
Going down to 430ppm, then I'll refill the res at 650ppm and I think I will continue giving an extra bit of bloom. I think the initial full blast was what threw it way off.
Day 68
Made a small res with 600ppm at usual levels. Hoping that sets me on track. Tbh I don't even know if there's really an issue or my plants are just getting old
Day 71 to 77 Wednesday
Feed at 700. Lights 12-14" @ 480w.
These plants are tiny :( I'm over it
Hopefully a week or two!
..
I'm realizing I am in a bit of a pickle. These plants are smaller than I am used to, so they are not generating very much humidity and so I have my exhaust on an inkbird rather than running 24/7. The lack of constant air exchange is causing my temps to be around 26c and I think I am seeing very slight fox tails
Day 78 to 84 Wednesday
Day 78
They may be small but it's getting pretty thicc in here! I'm hoping to harvest by end of week 🤑
These look and smell fricken excellent!
Turned off the heater, the temps should drop to ~17-18c during lights out so I'm hoping the colors come out before the cut
D83
Colors!
Finishing off with Astro, Bloom and Natures candy at 600ppm until end of week until harvest.
Grow 3! Pretty proud of this one, not gonne lie lol. Smallest, but definitely my best looking set it plants yet.
This stuff STINKS. It really got smelly in here once we started to harvest. The stems smell like skunk. The buds are dense as hell, even for being wet still..

Final Weigh Ins:
PP 1 - 142g (5.1oz)
PP 2 - 86g (3.1oz)
PP 3 - 97g (3.5oz)
PP 4 - 156g (5.6oz)
PP Solo - 7g (0.25oz)
Total - 487g (17.55oz)
Capped at 480w, which puts me a hair over 1g/watt.

I'm so glad I managed to get a 12 day dry this time. The buds are a different kind of dense than before. They are soft, yet firm, yet dense as hell. They smell so potent and gassy, they are so sticky and icky. I am able to smoke it right after trim and it tastes/smells way better than my previous harvests even after a month cure lol. This stuff is on a different level I didn't think I'd reach. I legit think I'll try to grow these again, I'm fricken loving it!
I am also amazed at the yield. I was sure I'd maybe get 250g-300g max. I cleared well over a pound on these little rodents and had absoltely zero larf. Check the videos if you want to see the results!
Overall this is my best grow to date and I am super satisfied with each of the phenos. It's just a shame I was snoozing at the start and they didn't get very big. Lessons learned.
One more thing: It took me about 3 hours to trim everything. Having all the buds so dense like that really sped things up. I think I might try and do that every time lol
On to the next! Thanks for stopping by. Check my next one
Chopped and I'll hang them in the he dry tent and keep it around 60rh/17c for as long as I can. 🤑
Update: got the tent at 15c/61rh and wow the buds have a different type of firmness than before. I can't wait...
So far my best grow of the 3
You could probably switch to full flowering nutes with no problem. Take a look at all the ingredient percentages. You don't lose a lot when you switch over.
BTW your plants look stunning.
@nerdz, I think I actually have one of those cameras somewhere but I never really used it. I didn’t know it at the time but the one I bought needed a paid monthly subscription to run continuously… Thought that was dumb
@SlicedPimientos,
Hahaha I tried using a phone with a timelapse app but it didn't work well. In the end I paid about $30 for a WYZE cam off Amazon and comes with timelapse built in. It also has a magnet that will stick to your tent poles. Oh and as you see I put hygros all of the place so I don't have to walk my lazy ass to the tent to monitor lol 😁Worth it
@nerdz, Haha oh man you don’t even know. The moment I finished watching your video, I jumped up and ran to my electronics drawer. I started pulling out cameras, computers, and other junk just trying to recreate what you did.
@Family_Trees,
It's hard to say just yet. I've noticed a gassy/pine smell on most of my grows before a good cure so far. I'll stick with gas/pine for now but this is veeeery loud compared to my past two attempts. I'm fricken loving it. Straight out of dry I am smoking it and it tastes great. So curious about the next few weeks.
Looks bomb especially for an auto. But that's not hydroponic that's coco? With drop setup. Cool 4 sure ..
plants grow 5x faster in hydro tho. Good work to say the least. Looks terpyyy
@@@@@@@@Jhindlehydro,
It's autopots which is auto bottom feed
The blue hose is connected to an air system, it's not for feeding. The trays that the plants are in is always full of water.
It's probably a debatable topic but I think it's closer than the"watering" category <3
