💀🏴‍☠️💀 Hello World... Day 1 for my 4 babies is the 14th February... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...We are now on day 4 and the baby girls are growing the second set of true leaves... I put the lamp higher at 1m distance, as they are too small and fragile to cope the 600 W of the HPS... Temps are ideal at 25°-26°C, I have a fan connected on my cooltube and it works just fine... Humidity is above 60% which is super... I keep the soil moist... No nutes until week 3... The lights are running on a 18/6 schedule... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...20/02/22 We are on day 6... The babies are growing vigorously and I am surprised... During my previews grows I was putting the seedlings for their first 2 weeks under a low wattage led... This time I decided to try the HPS from day 1... The results are great... The babies are swallowing the light with hunger... I have to be careful with the soil drying fast... I water them every second day with tap water, ph 7... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️21/02...On day 7 the girls are beautiful..I will be waiting for a few days and then I will transplant them in their final homes .. That's all for the first week of my little Gelatos.. see u next week... 💀 Thus spoke Zarathustra... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️

💀🏴‍☠️💀 Hello World... 💀❌💀...I am growing 4 photoperiod Gelatos inside a 1,6x1,6x2,0 m tent and I am using a 600W Hps since Day 1... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...22/02/22... We are entering the 2nd week of vegetation,we are on day 8... The girls are beautiful... One of them has a pair of curly leaves but it was probably due to light stress in the first days... The new growth is just fine... I have seen the roots coming out of the solo cups... It's time for transplant... I am waiting for new pots and fresh coco coir to be delievered to me and I will then do the surgery... Just plain water for now... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️...24/02/22 (Day 10)...I sneaked inside my secret place during midnight and I transplanted the babies in 13 L pots... I used coco coir... My tent is ready for action... I placed a fan for a slight breeze, the cooltube has a fan installed on it blowing hot air out of the tent... Temps are good, at 24°-26°C... I have 3 more photos inside the tent (Widow Haze) and 3 little autos, that have just sprouted... 10 plants in total... When I harvest the autos I will switch to 12/12 for the photos and hopefully 11-13 weeks after I will harvest them... This is my plan but I am pretty sure there will be obstacles and challenges ahead... Growing in my country is illegal ❌❌❌👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♀️☠️☠️☠️⚰️⚰️⚰️ ... so I have to deal with safety issues as my tent is hidden in a very safe but at the same time "dangerous" place... Also I have to manage to keep the conditions inside the tent ideal... Where I am is very cold during the winter and too hot during summer... I live in Nowhereland and the climate here is fucked up... The HPS is like a radiator......during the winter I change the lamp height and this way I control the heat emitted on the plants...But during hot months we have a problem...until then we'll see...Long way ahead... Anyway... New home for my babies... I feel anxious to see how they will react after the transplant... 🤘🌱💀🏴‍☠️🤘... 🏴‍☠️💀🏴‍☠️... 27/02/22(Day 13)... The girls are doing great in their new homes... I noticed their color is a bit light so I decided to feed them... I used 1/4 of the recommended dose...💦🌱☀️ •Biocanna BioVega (3-1-5) 0.5 ml/L •Guanokalong Grow (6-0-3) 0.4 ml/L •Liquid Blood Meal (12-0-0) 1 ml/L I keep it organic and I will go smoothly with feeding... This week we keep it on 1/4 of the recommended dose... Next week 1/2 and so on... Meanwhile, the following days I will be upgrading my ventilation system... 💨🌡️... I got myself a new fan with a thermostat and a speed controller... And for the first time in my growtent I will have a carbon filter... The tent is a bit messy and I have to place everything in order before the girls grow... I will change the whole ducting, new tubes, new wires, new everything...I also bought a scrog net, to try it for the first time and a bottle of Cal-Mag as coco coir has none of these two and the girls need it, the have shown it with small yellow tips and purple stems...

🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️ Hello World, ... My little Gelatos🍦 are entering the third week of their lives on 01/03/22... 💀🏴‍☠️💀...02/03/22(Day 16)...The growth of the babies is remarkable...The temps are low inside the tent when lights are out but I can't do anything for that...What I did is a total makeover of my tent ..I installed a new fan with a built-in thermostat and power control...I keep the ventilation low as it is still early...When I enter the room I can smell a grass scent in the air so the following days I will be installing my new carbon filter...I even changed the ropes,cables,hatchets... Today I fed the girls with organic veg nutes and some cal/mag from Biobizz...The coco coir is poor in Calcium and Magnesium so I gave them some of it to prevent any issues...What I don't have is a pH meter...However I don't think I will have any issues with it as the coco coir has a pH of 6.0-6.8 and the organic nutes I use don't need any pH correction...I will buy one day I promise 😭...So today I fed the girls with Bio Canna Bio Vega, Guanokalong Grow, liquid blood meal and Biobizz Cal/mag...I think they are hungry, I can tell from their color...Also their height is almost ideal for LST,which I will be doing by the end of this week..Just good old LST...I am also thinking of trying the ScroG method...I have never done it before and I am still trying to learn as much as I can by reading and watching videos...Maybe I will try it sometime... That's it for today.... 💀🤘☠️ 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 05/03/22(Day 19)... I am very happy with the girls and they look happy as well... I keep feeding them when they are thirsty😭... They are looking great, what can I say... My new equipment works perfectly, everything is placed correctly and the girls thrive inside an ideal environment for them... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 07/03/22(Day 21)... As you can see in the last photo the girls are very happy.... They are ready for LST, which I will be doing in the following days... That's it for this week .. See u 🤘☠️🤘

☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Hello World ... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 08/03/22(Day 22) we are entering the fourth week... My Gelatos are growing vigorously and they are very happy... I feed them with organic nutes from Biocanna, Biobizz and Guanokalong... No problems until here... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 09/03/22... (Day 23)... I did that LST I was talking about... I bent all four of them and I was tempted to do some topping on one of them, but I didn't... I have done it a lot in the past and every time I feel bad, like I am hurting the plant😭😭... Yesterday I fed them with the recommended dose... Inside the tent everything is great... I have 13 plants... 4 of them are the Gelatos, 3 are Widow Haze photos and 6 are various autoflower seedlings... Got some pics right after the LST and I will get some tomorrow to check out how the leaves have reacted... Right after the training the plants look abused and messy😭.. After some hours the leaves turn again towards the light and they create that round shaped bush... I love that... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... Thursday 10/03/22(Day 24).... The girls have reacted good and turned towards the light... I think I should have been more aggressive with LST at first, but in the following days I will have to adjust the soft wires again, so I will be harder on them... Meanwhile those 3 Widow Haze photos inside my tent have all grown the thickest indica leaves I have ever seen.... They are so fat and big... Haze varieties are supposed to be sativas, but these leaves are so indica ... 💀🏴‍☠️💀... 10/03/22(Day 25)...I adjusted again the wires, pulling the main stem down as they had turned upwards after the first session of LST... I said I was going to be more aggressive 😂... I was tempted to water them but I will let the coco coir dry out first... Also I think I will feed them with every other watering and not every time they drink, just to be sure I won't have any overfeeding issues... Up to now they are doing well .. Today snow fell in my region... I live by the sea and it's strange to see that here . The temps inside the tent are a bit low so I turned off the fan that blows on the girls... The cooltube works like a charm sucking out the heat from the HPS... I also got a new 600W HPS lamp which I will be using when I switch to flower... 🤘 ☠️🏴‍☠️☠️... Tuesday 15/03/22(Day 28)... The week is finishing today... Everything goes well I think, the ahiw goes on... ☠️ Thus spoke Zarathustra...

I will be using a PH-TDS meter for the first time... Any suggestions on what is the ideal value of ppm? I am feeding with organic nutes and now on week 4 I use the manufacturer's recommended dose.. The plants are healthy but I want to know how to use correctly this thing☠️🏴‍☠️☠️

EC is a better reading them PPM. PPM can be used on a 500/640/700 scale meaning that 500ppm or 640ppm or 700ppm can all equal 1EC. 1EC is always 1EC no mater the meter. its simple to use plug it in the nutrient solution and hit read. can also be used to read runoff water of pot if you water till runoff. Its great as a diagnostic tool to confirm numbers and make sure it not to weak or strong. The device should come with a manual but also youtube has some good how to videos. Best Of Luck!

☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Hello World, 💀🏴‍☠️💀... Wednesday 16/03/22(Day 29)... Beginning of the new week for my gelatos... Today I used for the first time a pH meter and I was shocked... The pH of the solution was at 8.6.... I'm so glad I bought this meter... Using pH Down from Vitalink I brought it sown to 6.5 and I hope the girls will appreciate it... I fed them today and I also got the EC value, but to be honest I am not familiar with it yet😭😭 I also had a terrible accident... I try to pull the main stem sown and readjust the LST wires and it broke... So I have accidentally topped one of the girls... It was a bad topping as I lost the main stem with 2 more nodes and their colas... Anyway, the damage is done I just keep on...

☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Hello World, 💀🏴‍☠️💀... This week has been bad... I had serious issues with the pH of the girls... All this time I was feeding them with too high pH water and when I finally got a meter and lowered it to 6.2 the girls were atressed out... A lot of leaves where damaged and others have suffered chlorosis... Anyway, this happened only to the big photoperiods... The autos are fine, no sign of stress... So, I flushed them with 6.2 pH plain water... I will flush them once more and I will wait and see how they will react... I have been really busy lately and I apologize for this weeks diary😭😭 ☠️🏴‍☠️☠️ Thus spoke Zarathustra...
