Bubble Gum feminised GanjaSeeds

Hippi007 Hello everyone! Since the girls have shown their first true leaves, I consider the report started! The sprouts have popped a bit out from under the lid. 16.02.2022 I prepared a weak solution, for 10L (10% of the norm): Potassium Monophosphate KH2PO4 - 0.18g Crystalon Blue - 0.7g Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 - 0.2g According to the NPK calculator: N - 13.3 P - 5.91 K - 16.7 Ca - 0 (compensated by water 250ppm) Mg - 5.3 S - 1.4 B - 0.0175 Fe - 0.049 Mn - 0.028 Zn - 0.0175 Cu - 0.007 Mo - 0.0028 Mineralization - 108mg/L + 250ppm water. pH=5.5 t=25-26C h=43-50% 17.02.2022 The sprouts have emerged. They have emerged - meaning they appeared from the substrate, but haven't opened yet. I supplemented the solution with fertilizers to 25% (10% previous + 15% added) of the norm, for 10L: Potassium Monophosphate KH2PO4 - 0.27g Crystalon Blue - 1.05g Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 - 0.3g Mineralization - 108mg/L (previous) + 162mg/L = 270mg/L + 250ppm water pH=5.5 t=25-26C h=43-48% 18.02.2022 The cotyledons of the sprouts have opened normally. This day can be considered the first day of sprout emergence. So, day 1. 19.02.2022 In the evening, I supplemented the solution with fertilizers to 35% (25% previous + 10% added) of the norm, for 10L: Potassium Monophosphate KH2PO4 - 0.18g Crystalon Blue - 0.7g Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 - 0.2g Mineralization - 270mg/L (previous) + 108mg/L = 378mg/L + 250ppm water pH=5.6, added 0.5ml pH Down - brought it to pH=5.5 t=25.5-26.3C h=51-57% 20.04.2010 Today the HPS-250 was turned on and flooding was set on a timer, lighting from 9:00 to 3:00. Flooding schedule: 9:00 - 9:01 13:00 - 13:01 17:00 - 17:01 21:00 - 21:01 1:00 - 1:01 5:00 - 5:01 (night) I know that flooding at night is not necessary, but I do one flooding to refresh the air in the substrate.

Hippi007 22.02.2022 At night, I topped up the nutrient solution to 50% (35% previous + 15% added) of the norm, for 10L: Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4 - 0.27g Crystalon Blue - 1.05g Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 - 0.3g Mineralization - 378mg/L (previous) + 162mg/L = 540mg/L + 250ppm water pH=6.1, added 1ml pH Down - brought it down to pH=5.3 t=27-28C h=43-45% I raised the plants closer to the lamp - 37cm from the glass to the container. _______________________ 23.02.2022 Topped up the nutrient solution to 75% (50% previous + 25% added) of the norm, for 10L: Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4 - 0.45g Crystalon Blue - 1.75g Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 - 0.5g Mineralization - 540mg/L (previous) + 270mg/L = 810mg/L + 250ppm water pH=6.2, added 1ml pH Down - brought it down to pH=5.5 t=29-31C h=40-44% I prepare additional doses of nutrients in 0.5L of water and add them to the solution. I raised the plants closer to the lamp - 32cm from the glass to the container. Changed the flooding schedule: 9:00 - 9:01 11:00 - 11:01 13:00 - 13:01 15:00 - 15:01 17:00 - 17:01 19:00 - 19:01 21:00 - 21:01 23:00 - 23:01 1:00 - 1:01 3:00 - 3:01 5:00 - 5:01 7:00 - 7:01 That is, every 2 hours. _______________________ 24.02.2022 Day 8 At night at 3:00 (right after the lights went out), I topped up the nutrient solution to 100% (75% previous + 25% added) of the norm, for 10L: Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4 - 0.45g Crystalon Blue - 1.75g Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 - 0.5g Mineralization - 810mg/L (previous) + 270mg/L = 1080mg/L + 250ppm water So now the formula G/L: Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4 - 0.18g Crystalon Blue - 0.7g Magnesium Sulfate MgSO4 - 0.2g According to the NPK calculator: N - 133 P - 59.1 K - 167 Ca - 0 (compensated by water 250ppm) Mg - 53 S - 14 B - 0.175 Fe - 0.49 Mn - 0.28 Zn - 0.175 Cu - 0.07 Mo - 0.028 pH=5.8, added pH Down - brought it down to pH=5.5 t=26-27C h=39-43% I raised the plants closer to the lamp - 26cm from the glass to the container. _______________________ 25.02.2022 Day 9 I decided to switch to ProBioTech. Drained the old solution, rinsed the substrate (5 times on/off the pump) with clean water at pH=5.5. Prepared a new solution: Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.15g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Grow - 0.5ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Bloom - 2ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1.8ml/L Magnesium Sulfate - 0.4g/L t = 27C h = 45% pH = 5.5 TDS (according to the NPK calculator) = 511ppm + 250ppm water. I put a wireless micro camera in the box. Connected it through a receiver to the plasma. One click of the remote and the situation in the box is visible on the screen. You can quickly check the current pH. Though it's just lying on the lid of the container for now. I still need to come up with a mount to get a view from the top corner and adjust the focus. Video control of the box for the lazy. I figured out the situation with magnesium sulfate. It is indeed heptahydrate. In the NPK calculator base, it is entered incorrectly, and sulfur is not taken into account at all. The oxide content in it (according to manufacturers' data): MgO - 16.2%, SO3 - 32%. This gives completely different numbers in calculations. It turns out that I can completely exclude Bloom from the mix (thus saving it for color), reduce potassium, and increase sulfur, while the mix will be even more in line with the recommendations. _______________________ 27.02.2022 Day 11 Second day on ProBioTech. The plants clearly like it more than the previous mix. The presence of sulfur, calcium, and a higher amount of iron is making a difference. Plus, the lower concentration of NPK at this stage will be better. t = 27C h = 40% pH = 5.85, adjusted to 5.5.

Hippi007 01.03.22 Day 13 pH = 5.4 TDS solution = 990ppm TDS water = 280ppm Ts = 20.3C (solution temperature) t = 25-26C h = 35-40% Yesterday I finally got the TDS meter. ___________________________ 03.03.22 Day 15 Yesterday morning I added 1.5L of water + 2ml of pH-down to lower the ppm and pH. At night I added the missing 2g of magnesium sulfate to the solution (dissolved in 1.5L of water + 1ml of pH-down). pH = 5.7 TDS solution = 974ppm TDS water = 320ppm (settled) Ts = 20.8C (solution temperature) t = 26-27C h = 31-36% ___________________________ 04.03.22 Day 16 I added 1.5L of water with 2ml of pH-down. Lowered the pH from 5.8 to 5.5, TDS from 1010ppm to 930ppm. Sprayed with water, then with magnesium sulfate solution. pH = 5.5 TDS solution = 930ppm Ts = 18.2C (solution temperature) t = 25.5-27C h = 45-50% I think I'll switch to flowering in about 10-15 days, no sooner. I'll be bending and stretching across the entire area to fill it optimally. Then I'll switch to 12/12, take 2 clones from each female plant, and if there are males, I'll cut them almost completely, leaving a tiny branch with a couple of leaves so the plant doesn't die and the roots don't start to rot. There's enough height (45-50cm). The only thing that worries me is the low power of the 250W HPS. Its effective distance is really 30cm. I'll try to stick to that. I just went and bought 2 CFL Delux/20W/6400K/1184lm, one is to replace the cracked 23W, it will be for rooting clones. The second will be for additional lighting either for the mothers or for the buds (at the very bottom) if I exceed the 30cm distance. The 46W/6500K CFL will move to the mother room. I also bought a GARDENA RP-300 pump. I'll cut a window (that can be closed) on the side at the top of the container and will use this pump for draining and filling the solution, as well as mixing when adjusting the pH. ___________________________ 08.03.22 Day 20 Yesterday I added 1.5L of water with 2ml of pH-down. Lowered the pH from 5.82 to 5.64, TDS from 972ppm to 943ppm. Sprayed with water, then with magnesium sulfate solution. This morning I added 1ml of pH-down, lowered the pH from 5.71 to 5.4. pH = 5.4 TDS solution = 927ppm Ts = 20.1C (solution temperature) t = 25.1-26C h = 41-45% Yesterday the plants started to stink, to the point where the carbon filter couldn't handle it (it has 1.5-2kg less carbon than needed). After adding the acidified water, the smell significantly decreased, but there's still a bit. I'll have to make 2 additional holes in the section with the filter and cover them all with an additional flat filter about 2-2.5cm thick. The plants look healthy and happy :D. They're actively sending out side shoots. On Bubblegum #2, the third pair of leaves is already coming out on these shoots. The stem is thicker than a centimeter. ___________________________ 09.03.22 Day 21 Today I didn't do anything, just sprayed once. So here's just a photo report. pH = 5.53 TDS solution = 923ppm Ts = 21.2C (solution temperature) t = 26-26.9C h = 43-46% Today I got a bit carried away - I pulled out the duct with the filter, made additional holes in the back wall, and assembled an additional flat carbon filter from 2cm thick slats. The plants were under one 46W CFL and airflow for 5 hours, with the exhaust fan running but with the door slightly open. The temperature stayed at 26C, humidity 56%. I got so caught up with all this that I forgot to take a picture of the filter... But the stink is gone. I just added 1.5L of water with 2ml of pH-down, ppm dropped to 835, pH from 5.67 to 5.5. I think I'll keep this solution until flowering, maybe add another liter or two of fresh. Then I'll switch to the flowering solution right away.

Hippi007 ___________________________ 11.03.22 Day 23 I changed the solution (the solution was used for 12 days). I noticed symptoms of deficiency in several elements. Apparently, they have drained everything in the last few days of active growth :) In the mixing order: Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.2g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1.9ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Grow - 0.5ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Bloom - 1ml/L Magnesium Sulfate - 0.5g/L (I dissolve it in 100ml of water and then pour it into the prepared solution) The water was settled for 12 days, a week ago it was acidified with pH-down to 5.8. Before preparation, it had pH=5.87, TDS=280. After preparation, I added 1ml of pH-down. t = 27C h = 40% pH = 5.5 TDS = 980ppm (552ppm according to the NPK calculator) _______________________________________ 12.03.22 Day 24 I took out the plants and tied up both bubblegums, they were already ready to be tied. I also attached a ventilation fan above the air duct on the left. I made it adjustable both vertically and horizontally. pH was 5.82, I added 1.2ml of pH-down, lowered it to 5.55. pH = 5.55 TDS of the solution = 940ppm Ts = 19.6C (solution temperature) t = 25.6-26.4C h = 44-47% _____________________________________________ 14.03.22 Day 26 pH = 5.5 TDS of the solution = 930ppm Ts = 19.3C (solution temperature) t = 25.7-26.3C h = 41-46% The timer in the mother room is set to 18/6 mode, from 00:00 to 18:00. I reset the timer for the flowering chamber to 12/12, from 00:00 to 12:00, so they don't grow in the daytime heat. So today they have a long day, and tomorrow night starts at 12.

Hippi007 15.03.22 Day 27 (1st day 12/12) Today I drained the solution and prepared a new one: Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.5g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1.8ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Grow - 0.75ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Bloom - 1.85ml/L Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate - 0.35g/L On autopilot, I added 0.75ml/L of Grow to it. I realized just in time, otherwise I would have poured in the full 1ml/L. It was a shame to throw it away, and I didn't have any standing prepared water. Decided to use it as an experiment. pH = 5.45 TDS of the solution = 1150ppm TDSk of the solution = 735ppm (according to the NPK calculator) Ts = 20.2C (solution temperature) t = 26.1-26.5C h = 43-47% _______________________________________ 16.03.22 Day 28 (2nd day 12/12) Did another tying of some branches. Adjusted pH from 5.8 to 5.4. Sprayed with clean water. Bubble Gum #2 has sent out its first whiskers =) pH = 5.4 TDS of the solution = 1020ppm Ts = 22C (solution temperature) t = 26.4-26.9C h = 42-45% _________________________________ 18.03.22 Day 30 (4th day 12/12) The solution level has dropped to half. That is, consumption is approximately 2-2.5L per day. I poured in 1.5L of water + 1.5ml of pH-down. Adjusted pH from 5.78 to 5.5 and TDS from 1050ppm to 970ppm. Sprayed with magnesium sulfate solution. pH = 5.5 TDS of the solution = 970ppm Ts = 20.1C (solution temperature) t = 26.2-26.7C h = 40-44%

Hippi007 ____________________________________ 22.03.22 Day 34 (Day 8 of 12/12) I bent all the branches down since the tops were already pressing against the glass. At night (20.03 at 01:00), I changed the solution. Next experimental one: Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.5g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1.8ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Bloom - 1ml/L Gilea "for cacti" - 2ml/L Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate - 0.4g/L The bushes have noticeably stretched, no overdose. The next solution will be 67/143/277. pH = 5.75 TDS of the solution = 1300ppm TDSk of the solution = 761ppm (according to the NPK calculator) Ts = 20.2C (solution temperature) t = 26.4-26.6C h = 40-43% ____________________________________ 25.03.22 Day 37 (Day 11 of 12/12) I completely lowered the hydro setup and re-tied all the branches. I cut off 3 too long and bare branches, turning them into 8 clones for outdoor. Yesterday, I added 2L of water + 3ml pH-down to the solution. Today, I completely changed the solution. This time it's a flowering solution. Gilea "for cacti" helps to adjust the probiotech pretty well. I plan to make the next solution using Brexil combo instead of Gilea. Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.35g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Bloom - 1ml/L Gilea "for cacti" - 2ml/L Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate - 0.4g/L ProBioTech pH-Down - 1ml/L pH = 5.55 TDS of the solution = 910ppm TDSk of the solution = 594ppm (according to the NPK calculator) Ts = 20.1C (solution temperature) t = 26.4-26.7C h = 42-45%

Hippi007 _______________________________ 30.03.22 Day 42 (16th day 12/12) I drained the leftovers (about 2L) of the old solution, its TDS was 1270, pH=5.76. This time, between filling with the new solution, the pH wasn't adjusted at all, i.e., for 5 days. This time the solution is the same as last time, i.e.: Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.35g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Bloom - 1ml/L Gilea "for cacti" - 2ml/L Magnesium Sulfate heptahydrate - 0.4g/L ProBioTech pH-Down - 1ml/L The bubblegums have entered the flowering phase. I bent a few branches that were out of the overall growth again. pH = 5.5 TDS of the solution = 920ppm TDSk of the solution = 594ppm (according to the NPK calculator) Ts = 19.1C (solution temperature) t = 25.2-25.6C h = 57-60% __________________________________ 04.04.22 Day 47 (21st day 12/12) There was about 2L of solution left in the container, its TDS was 1350, pH=5.73. Again, between filling with the new solution, for 5 days, the pH wasn't adjusted. I prepared a new solution, the same as last time, TDS=920ppm, pH=5.25, and added it to the old one. It resulted in TDS=1050ppm, pH=5.55. I bent the branches that were out of the overall growth again. pH = 5.55 TDS of the solution = 1050ppm Ts = 18.2C (solution temperature) t = 21.3-22C h = 70-75%

Hippi007 __________________________________ 11.04.22 Day 54 (28th day 12/12) There were about 3 liters of solution left in the container, its TDS was 1510, pH=5.69. I drained it and prepared a new one, this time without gilea, using Brexil combo. Between pouring the new solution, for 7 days, pH was not adjusted. New solution composition: ProBioTech pH-Down - 1.2ml/L Calcium Nitrate Ca(NO3)2 - 0.22g/L Mono Potassium Phosphate - 0.51g/L Brexil "Combo" - 0.019g/L (I diluted 10g of Brexil combo in 1L. So, 1ml = 0.01g. I take 19ml for 10L) ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 0.5ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Bloom - 1ml/L Magnesium Sulfate heptahydrate - 0.4g/L I bent the branches that were out of the overall growth again. pH = 5.5 TDS of the solution = 850ppm TDSk of the solution = 551ppm (according to the NPK calculator) Ts = 19C (solution temperature) t = 24.1-24.4C h = 56-59%

Hippi007 __________________________________ 04/13/22 Day 56 (30th day 12/12) There were about 6 liters of solution left in the container, its TDS was 1120, pH=5.8. I prepared a new solution, exactly like the last one (TDS=860ppm, pH=5.4), and added 4.5 liters of it to the old one. I bent down the branches that had grown out of sync with the rest. Today is the 15th day of flowering, the pre-flowering stage dragged on for 15 days due to the high nitrogen content during the transition. pH = 5.77 TDS of the solution = 1020ppm Ts = 19.1C (solution temperature) t = 23-23.3C h = 55-56% _________________________ 04/14/22 Day 57 (31st day 12/12) I added an ESL-20W/6400K (later I’ll go buy 2 of 2700K/20W instead) for supplemental lighting from below. I placed it on top of the hydro setup, using a beer can lid as a spacer. This way, the temperature at the setup will rise a bit since it’s been hovering around 22C on average. Now I’m taking daily readings of TDS, pH, solution and air temperatures, as well as humidity, and recording them in an updated grow journal (an updated Excel file). Now I’m building graphs of macro and microelements, TDS, pH, temperatures, and humidity. It turned into a unified working journal for the grower. By reviewing it, I can look back at the report and observe the plants' reactions to any changes through photos and descriptions. It’s a pity I didn’t start it from the very beginning of the report, so the data for the first half ends up incomplete and averaged on the graphs. _________________________ 04/17/22 Day 60 (34th day 12/12, 20th day of flowering) There were about 4 liters of solution left in the container, its TDS was 1310, pH=5.78. I added the remaining 5.5 liters of the solution I prepared last time. The TDS ended up being 1120, and the pH stayed the same. It seems that the pH in the fertilizer itself has risen during the downtime. I pulled the stems down, moving the plants away from the lamp. pH = 5.78 TDS of the solution = 1120ppm Ts = 22.5C (solution temperature) t = 25-25.4C h = 58-59% Sorry, I don't have time to format this longer, I need to run. I still need to organize all the notes I made on the paper. It takes a lot of time. So, to be continued!) But a bit later.

Hippi007 20.04.2022 Day 63 (37th day 12/12, 23rd day of flowering) There were about 4 liters of solution left in the container, its TDS was 1410, pH=5.81. I drained 3 liters (from the remaining 4 liters) and prepared a new one, but without calcium nitrate, adding Grow instead to compensate for nitrogen. I slightly increased the micro and gave 30% more MFK. The TDS was 980, pH=5.6. After pouring it into the container and saturating the substrate, the TDS and pH rose to 1040 and 5.81. It seems that the optimal pH for Bubble Gum during flowering is 5.8. It stabilizes at this value and fluctuates within 0.05-0.1. New solution composition: ProBioTech pH-Down - 1.2 ml/L Potassium Monophosphate - 0.75 g/L Brexil "Combo" - 0.014 g/L (Brexil combo diluted 10g in 1L. So, 1ml = 0.01g. I take 14ml for 10L) ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1 ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Grow - 0.5 ml/L Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate - 0.5 g/L pH = 5.81 TDS of the solution = 1080ppm TDSk of the solution = 645ppm (according to the NPK calculator, by the way, this is the concentration of PURE elements, not salts, in the solution) Ts = 22.5C (temperature of the solution) t = 27.1-27.3C h = 58-61% _____________________ 24.04.2022 Day 67 (41st day 12/12, 27th day of flowering) The day before yesterday, I added 1 liter of acidified water. There were about 5 liters of solution left in the container, its TDS was 1370, pH=5.86. It turned out TDS=1250, pH=5.77. Today TDS=1410, pH=5.88. Conclusion? The plants drink faster than they eat. There's no point in raising the concentration above 1200ppm, as the next day I'll need to add water again. Concentrations above 1400ppm are uncomfortable for them, which is evident from the small leaves on the buds - they bend down and the middle leaves are slightly twisting. I added 3 liters of acidified water to the remaining 4 liters of solution. I got TDS=1110, pH=5.78. I turned the hydro setup 180 degrees to illuminate those buds that were in the shade. After the cycle, I will hang the light closer to the doors, as the back wall gets more light than the front. I have an idea to conduct an experiment. In the fifth week of flowering, drain the solution and fill it for a day (then drain it and fill it with the regular solution) with a homemade analog of Ripen (4ml/L: P 105/K 166 /Mg 60/S 80): Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate MgSO4*7(H2O) - 0.61 g/L Potassium Monophosphate KH2PO4 - 0.49 g/L Valagro Solupotass (Potassium Sulfate) - 0.06 g/L What it gives: P 107/K 160/Mg 60/S 100. Or even like this: Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate MgSO4*7(H2O) - 0.61 g/L Potassium Monophosphate KH2PO4 - 0.6 g/L Valagro Solupotass (Potassium Sulfate) - 0.06 g/L P 131/K 190/Mg 60/S 100 This should stimulate the plants to accelerate flower growth, i.e., I want to stimulate a wave of flowering. Yes, it’s a small stress for them, but short, and the result could be quite interesting. If the method works, it could be possible to try conducting a similar procedure every week in the second half of flowering. In the first half, it’s probably not worth doing this, as after several procedures, the leaves may start to yellow and fall off, and in the first half, they are very much needed.

Hippi007 28.04.2022 Day 72 (46th day 12/12, 31st day of flowering) Month of flowering, beginning of week 5. The buds are gaining mass, covered in trichomes and filling with resin. The smell is sweet and sharp, not quite sure what it smells like, bubblegum isn’t noticeable yet :). Today I took out the setup again and did some leaf thinning. I trimmed half of the leaf, cutting the leaves every other one. And still, the middle is very dense and not much light is getting through. At the end of week 5, I’ll do another thinning session. It’s been 9 days since the last solution was poured, during which time I added acidified water to the container 4 times - 1L + 3L + 3L + 2L, so I added a total of 9L, which is almost equal to the volume of the solution originally poured. I tried to keep the TDS within 1200-1400ppm. There’s no point in raising it higher, as the concentration starts to increase rapidly, and after 1400ppm, it leads to overdose. The small area (of light-exposed leaves) and low lighting power are affecting this. After thinning, I think I’ll keep the TDS at 1000-1200ppm. Today I drained the solution, rinsed the container with water, and, as planned, poured in 6L of the ripening analog. Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate MgSO4*7(H2O) - 0.61 g/L Monopotassium phosphate KH2PO4 - 0.49 g/L Valagro Solupotass (Potassium sulfate) - 0.06 g/L What it gives: P 107/K 160/Mg 60/S 100. After three saturations of the substrate, the TDS of the solution was 800ppm (the initial TDS was 586ppm), pH = 5.55. I think I slightly underfed the plants with phosphorus during veg. Now I understand that bubblegum likes a bit more phosphorus, especially at the end of veg. The pouring of the ripening analog should somewhat compensate for the initial (relative) phosphorus deficiency, bringing it to the necessary balance with nitrogen, which has accumulated quite a bit in the plant. The micro will be slightly consumed. Theoretically, after returning to the normal solution, there should be a wave of bud formation with some yellowing of the leaves, especially in the lower and middle parts. These will be removed by the end of week 5. pH = 5.55 TDS of the solution = 800ppm Concentration of pure elements in the solution = 426mg/L (according to NPK calculator) Ts = 22.7C (solution temperature) t = 27-28C h = 59-62% ________________________________________ 30.04.2010 Day 74 (48th day 12/12, 33rd day of flowering) I kept it for 2 days on the ripening analog. Some of the largest leaves have lightened a bit. But the main thing, as expected, is that the number of new white pistils has noticeably increased :). And this is true at all levels of the plants. There’s also a noticeable increase in the size and weight of the buds. And this is just in 2 days. The experience isn’t over yet, as the main effect should be observed a few days after switching back to the normal solution. Nevertheless, the result is noticeable, and I consider the experience successful. Today there were 2-2.5L of solution left at the bottom, concentration 1250ppm, pH=5.48. I decided not to drain it but to simply add 10L of new solution with TDS=900, pH=5.63. As a result, it turned out to be TDS=1000ppm, pH=5.6. New solution composition: ProBioTech pH-Down - 1.2ml/L Monopotassium phosphate - 0.73g/L Brexil "Combo" - 0.015g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1.1ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Grow - 0.5ml/L Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate - 0.5g/L thumb_sostav-v12-bloom.jpg pH = 5.6 TDS of the solution = 1000ppm Ts = 27C (solution temperature) t = 29-30C h = 59-61%

Hippi007 There are entries for this week, but they are not separated from the next, so the description for the next one will summarize them.

Hippi007 09.05.2010 Day 83 (57th day 12/12, 42nd day of flowering) I forgot to switch the timer for the pump, and the bushes stood without watering for about 2 days. Some of the lower leaves drooped, but overall the plants handled this mistake fine. Yesterday I changed the solution. I prepared the same as last time. Today I added 1.5L of acidified water since a lot of the solution was absorbed by the dry substrate and the pH rose to 6, while TDS increased from 875ppm to 1230ppm. ProBioTech pH-Down - 1.2ml/L Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.73g/L Brexil "Combo" - 0.015g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1.1ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Grow - 0.5ml/L Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate - 0.5g/L thumb_sostav-v12-bloom.jpg pH = 5.6 TDS of the solution = 1111ppm Ts = 22.7C (temperature of the solution) t = 25-28C h = 64-68% Since the start of the experiment with pre-flushing until today, the size of some buds has increased by about 1.5-2 times. Almost all the lower foliage and small buds are already damaged. The pale buds, along with the small sugar leaves, turned a nice dark green color after drying. There's no special smell since I dried everything with a construction hairdryer on the second setting for about half an hour. By the way, I think this is the best way for quick drying. You take a construction hairdryer, hang it up, and place a glass 0.5L jar with the buds underneath at a distance of 40-50 cm. The airflow should blow directly into the jar. Every 10 minutes, I turn off the hairdryer and cover the jar with a lid so that the remaining moisture distributes a bit through the stuff, and I hold it like that for a couple of minutes. Of course, the aromatic compounds evaporate actively, but THC stays put and doesn’t burn like when drying in a microwave or on an iron. And a little trip report. We smoked ~0.6g among three of us. The stuff was finely ground, so it seemed like there wasn’t much. We made a total of 3 small water bongs. A friend who doesn’t know about my grow smoked 2 wet ones, and 5 minutes later, when I offered another one, he said he was in shock and that the weed couldn’t hit like that, especially the lower buds of the underdeveloped green. It hits softly and smoothly, the first wave comes in about 5 minutes, the second in 10, and the third in 15 minutes. When you’re standing or sitting still, it doesn’t seem to hit you, but if you start walking, it starts to wash over you in constant waves. My friend was somewhat shocked by the constant high for 2 hours. He felt some effects even after 4-5 hours. He wanted to buy some, but his urge was stopped by a categorical "they don’t sell this weed, only share it, I can’t help you, I can’t even buy it for myself." As a consolation, an hour after getting high, I rolled him another wet one. Of course, I took a few hits from the leaves, and didn’t feel the effect as strongly. I smoked 3 wet ones. But it hit very pleasantly, in a cultured way, without harshness 8-). For about 2 hours, it was a more or less even plateau, with cool auditory glitches. It was like I started hearing all sounds at once, but without being overwhelming. I’ve noticed more than once that the weed clearly gets along with music and audio in general. It started to wear off after about 2.5-3 hours, but even after 4 hours, there was a lightness in the body and a slight post-euphoria. The strain, at least what I managed to taste, I like m/. The yellowing leaves and some dried tips in the photo are a consequence of the pump not working for 2 days.

Hippi007 16.05.2010 Day 92 (66 days 12/12, 51 days of flowering) Yesterday there was about 2 liters of solution left at the bottom, so I added another 10 liters of fresh: ProBioTech pH-Down - 1.2ml/L Monopotassium Phosphate - 0.73g/L Brexil "Combo" - 0.015g/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Micro - 1.1ml/L ProBioTech delta9 MASTER PRO Grow - 0.5ml/L Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate - 0.5g/L pH = 5.5 TDS of the solution = 1190ppm Ts = 24.5C (solution temperature) t = 26-27C h = 65-70% The broadleaves have been eliminated, now the buds are much happier under the direct rays of the HPS-250. The trichomes have just started to turn cloudy. I think I'll keep them in the solution for another 5 days and then switch to Ripen.

Hippi007 23.05.2022 Day 99 (73 days 12/12, 58 days flowering) pH = 5.45 TDS of the solution = 1200ppm Ts = 24.4C (solution temperature) t = 25-26C h = 68-70% They are on the same solution I poured last time. I just add acidified water to keep the TDS no higher than 1200.

Hippi007 27.05.2022 Day 103 (77 days 12/12, 62 days flowering) Today I drained the solution and filled it with 6L of Ripen analog: Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate MgSO4*7(H2O) - 0.61 g/L Monopotassium phosphate KH2PO4 - 0.49 g/L Valagro Solupotass (Potassium sulfate) - 0.06 g/L P 107/K 160/Mg 60/S 100 The TDS of the solution was 640ppm, after a couple of floods the salts were washed out of the substrate and the TDS became 760ppm. pH = 5.5 TDS of the solution = 760ppm Ts = 26.4C (solution temperature) t = 27-28C h = 69-72%

Hippi007 01.06.2022 Day 108 (82nd day 12/12, 67th day of flowering) pH = 5.45 TDS of the solution = 744ppm Ts = 26.7C (solution temperature) t = 28-28.8C h = 61-63% The plants have been on ripening for 5 days, I added water three times, 2 liters each time. The day after tomorrow, I will drain it all and switch to plain water. ________________________________ 19.07.2010 Day 110 (84th day 12/12, 69th day of flowering) Today I drained the Ripen equivalent and filled it with clean water. It's hot outside and at home, so it's also warm in the box. But harvest is close - the trichomes have completely turned white. Just a few days on water left and then I can cut. I think I'll dry the plant in the ground, draining the water and letting it dry, after manicuring the buds. pH = 5.7 TDS of the solution = 333ppm Ts = 27.8C (solution temperature) t = 30-32.4C h = 61-64% I don't have a proper camera on hand, so I took the photos with my smartphone. Before the harvest and after drying, I'll take photos with a professional camera. _________________________________ 03.06.2010 Day 110 (84th day 12/12, 69th day of flowering) Today I drained the Ripen equivalent and filled it with clean water.

Hippi007 06.06.2010 Day 113 (87 days 12/12, 72 days flowering) pH = 5.7 Ts = 27.6C (solution temperature) t = 31-32.3C h = 58-60% Yesterday I cut a few buds. The weight of the wet, manicured buds is 53.25g. I want to give it to a friend. Also, I did a preliminary manicure of the buds on the plants. I prefer to manicure in 2-3 stages, doing it all at once is too tiring %0. I think I'll let the plant mature for another 4-5 days and then we can harvest 😁

Hippi007 10.06.2010 Day 117 (91 days 12/12, 75 days flowering, harvest) On 10.06.2010, it was decided to cut the bushes and send them to dry. Up to this point, the substrate had dried out and the bushes had wilted. They are now hanging in the box to dry. The ventilation is set to low speed. As promised, I took pictures of the cut bushes with a proper camera. Thanks for the support! A special thanks to GanjaSeeds for the seeds. It's a pleasure doing business with you, so I confidently recommend you to my friends. Weight summary: 80g in a three-liter jar + 10+5g given to friends + ~15g smoked before, during, and after the harvest = ~110g. And 15g of trim left over after manicuring. The drying is complete. It lasted for 10 days. Yesterday, the buds were cut from the branches, weighed, and stored in a 3L jar.
