Week 12 D85 Day 40 since flowering, (stigma started), she is coming on nicely put on about 20-30% bud mass overall. Lower ends of the plant are starting to catch up. Aiming for 65 days of flowering, so roughly 15 left, but it'll come down to the trichomes which are 50%cloudy 20%amber 10-15milky and the rest are clear. As you go down the middle canopy it's more the opposite 50%clear 50% mixed bag clear and amber. 2 or 3 sites are still showing pistons, (stigma), and leafs around calaxies are not frosty yet. All round I'm happy with how she is coming on. Thankfully whatever disease my hydro caught it only passed it over to my TDA, I cut all leafs showing signs of D out. My hands are actually burning from whatever the fuck it is. I've tried examing it, and it doesn't rub off but it looks likes it's appearing on the surface. It's very weird. Might be experiencing a rare issue of some sorts. As it's not a daf as the hydro was touching the TDA 3 fan leafs showed the exact same rust spots. On exam again it seems to be surface related as the leafs are overall very healthy. I've increased ventilation by installing a 2nd intake intake fan
15/2/22 Plant is coming on nicely. Still slowly putting on bud mass, had me a bit worried though, hopefully she'll keep going on the 10-15Days left.
17/3/22 She's coming close to her end. She's been flowering for 50 days, I'll decide if this will be her last feed will be at the end of wk 12 D90. I'll check her trichomes and if she needs another week on nutes she'll get it, if not and I'm happy I'll throw her into a flush. Hoping to put on another 20-30% bud mass as I'm really not happy with bud formation.
My new intelligent intake fan is awesome, its reader is prob the most accurate you can get and so quick to adjust itself to the right RH/TEMP. With the 2nd intake fan the sensor is giving a reading of 58%RH 27c 21 when light is off. RH drops to 55% with light off. Rooms RH is 47% temp is 22.5 throughout the whole grow our house is set at that temp constantly.
18/3/22 last update for week 12. Today I'll be giving her the last feed. And after the next week is up I'll decide if I'll continue on with another 7 days of PH water, it'll all depend on the trichomes.
Report and results for this week
Was able to drop the RH by 30% the new intelligent intake fan is awesome, it's reader is so accurate it's crazy. So was able to bring the RH down to 55% roughly inside the tent and 47% in the room. Temp holds at 21.7 in tent in the dark with light on goes up to 27c 55-60% RH.
Thanks for reading drop a like if you did!

So, I seen all my seeds were popping, so I checked out zkittlez organic and I could see the brown seed shell and was on its side, so I poked and proded and pult out a bent over stem, with a part of the shell husk not apart of the process, how will this effect it?
Never touch a sprout. You risk damaging the very tender sprout when you "help". If the seed/sprout is healthy it will do everything it needs to. It doesn't need help shedding the seed husk and needs no help emerging from the ground.
Is it too early for LST? I'd like the 2 main colas to be sticking up more, will I leave that to the growth or should I start training it now? I have the right stuff for lst, ties and that green sponge wire. Or will I wait till it finishes it's 3rd week at least. New to dis, so...
Generally i start training at the 3rd node.
The technique you want to use,is called Mainling.

Hope it helped you ππ½ good luck π
oooohweee you shipping worldwide lool shes looking sweet as fuck nice growing love the formation and cola design did you do alot of training on her?
cant wait for these 15 days to see how she does man nice one growmie
@gottagrowsometime, glad I could help man thankyou I very much appreciate it good luck with everything I'll be checking your weekly updates π€π±π
@BarneyRumble420, well that's good to know. I'm going to continue with supersoil cause CBD organic looks great. Thanks for the advice. Good luck in the next few grow weeks, hope you have a plentiful harvest pal. :-)

@gottagrowsometime, lol yeah thats when you know your in for some good ish... tie them to hold em up rathe rthan down wish i was having your worries lol
@Percy, yeah she's taken over the tent completely. I just tied down some of the colas to show their bud sites to the light. Also it allowed me to be able to bend them out of the way as the growth was blocking out so much light in mid to low canopy. So, I bent them out and took about 30cm of height and by doing so it's allowed all the bud sites to catch up. Yeah 15 days maybe even 30 but after 15 days I'm hoping I'll have to tie the colas up to give it support rather than down. She should be a fun 1 if I can bring her to harvest.
@BarneyRumble420, thanks pal. Wouldn't mind more height like her sister strain hydro. But all in all, I'm happy thanks for checking in over the wks and for ur support. Talk soon brother.
Hey friend clean looking setup. Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis. I hope it is okay with you if I offer you some pointers? So cannabis plants love heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it, We can exploit this in veg and early flower to get more vigorous growth from our plants. Veg & early flower temps of 79-84 MAX lights on are good and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for more than 10 degrees less with lights off we will stretch our plants a lot we do not want that. Keeping our temp gaps tight through veg and early flower is important. With autoflowers you need to watch for it, But with photoperiods once plants finish growing vertically by weeks 4-6 of flower THEN we want to open up our temp gaps to allow for more than 10 degrees less with lights off. I notice you have not done this I would recommend it. Now at this stage instead of stretching it will send extra energy into the plants budding process and resin production. As each week passes drop the temps slightly more widening the gap between lights on and lights off temps.
Also if you have not done so yet get yourself a PAR meter & a thermal laser temp gun to better read your plants and grow to their needs. With that low wattage of LED's you can get them closer for sure, But these 2 pieces of equipment will help you do it safely. We want to get the most potential out of our lights as possible. Check out VPD, Vapor pressure deficit and how it relates to growing cannabis. All new growers should learn this and get used to using a VPD chart to go off. If you ever need help or have any questions please feel free to ask I am always around to help out. Check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary & follow my profile! I am currently producing a tutorial series for youtube if something like that interests you hop on over to my youtube and subscribe. It is linked through my grow diaries profile. Happy growing friend!
@LegacyMarketFarm, man, this is solid advice. Very good read. Will defo be applying this in my next grow for sure and adding these steady temps. Well my temps aren't spot on but witj light on compared to off it stays within 6-7c. I live in EU, so humidity is very high, I have dehumidifier to keep it between 60-70 But it's hard. Once I open my door it messes it all up, lol. I'll DM u if I need more help wit u what you said. Im actully going to put this down as I keep tips and stuff that makes sense for the next grow. So very much copy and paste. My mem has taken a tole thanks to that lovely grewn bud we strive for. Thanks very very much bro. Delighted with any advice/info from very experienced growers like urselfs. Talk soon.
Very Niceπ..
I noticed you said you don't have organic sugars.
I use an organic molasses which has calcium, mag. and a bunch
of stuff your plant needs and I also make a banana peel tea once in awhile to promote flowering.
I've had great success growing like this, since I'm trying to keep it organic, check out my Strawberry banana and Cindy 99 diaries, 100% organic..
Have a good Day!!!
@northernMike, hey pal. Yeah I got loads and loads of expensive nutes. I should have focused on more organic nutes. Supersoil done a lot. Got some organic raw NPK mol off a friend. Have me an N mix and a PK mix Sep and he also put some trace elements in there 2. Wish I had them earlier. Thanks for the comments. GonnsGonna drop by your diary now.
@Granddaddy_Terp, hey buddy, sorry only seen your mes. They love big pots. The bigger the better. I let my hydro grow through the grate and was like a mini DWC after that happened it literally transformed my hydro zkittlez not this 1. See how low down the soil is. Still 1/3 of the pot left without soil. I'm sure if I had filled it up she would be much bigger. This plant has lots of ruideraills or whatever it's called and plants that have high amounts of that need extra micro nutes as compared to photos. Loves lots of cal and all the other micro nutes when moving into stigma. Good luck buddy.
