Underground Pleasures

SeedlockHolmes Left my camera at a friends house... I'll upload some pics by EOD Everything going on a normal pace. 7th day - Feed them the recommended dose of growing phase 1st time. I'm trying to go through this run by "guessing" the EC. - I have a meter for safety net but I'm relying more on reading the plants and the feed log. 12th day - Lights out a little more than 4h along with ventilation so when I checked they were sweating but now by EOD they are fine. - We can see 2 different phenos. 1 more bushier pheno present in 4 out of 6 and the other two in the middle are smaller but +/- with same nº of nodes. Base Nutrients: I'm watering 0.3L/plant with nutrients in the morning. By end of day the substrate is a little dryer (coco cannot fully dry ever!) so I give them another 0.3L per plant with only water and Fulvic by Terra Aquatica (G.H.E.) or any other booster needed. Idea is keeping the substrate always moist respecting the feedings so that the EC doesn't fluctuate much. Doing this everyday will eventually cause run off which we'll measure to make sure we're on the right path. (also the L/plant will increase as more the plant drinks while keeping the number and type of waterings a day). -The feed is not exactly the same everyday. The nutrients list is the amount I use when I use any of it during the week. -Boosters: (The boosters dose on the nutrient list is incorrect and is as 1tsp/l by default. Find the doses below.) - Bactomatik: Using the recommended dose of Bactomatik found in the label. (1 time use - soaking the substrate with it). - Silicate : minimum recommended dose of Silicate 0,4g/L ( 3 days of the week). - Calmag : every other watering minimum dose. 1ml/L for now. - PH down dry powder : 0.2g per liter to drop ph to 5.8-6 - my tap water comes out at PH 7.

SeedlockHolmes Steady week without much to report until the final day, On the 20th day I topped some of them and started LST. Adding pictures later. They look amazing to me. We'll have most of the training through the 4rd week and onward. Raised the doses to the listed above on the last day as we enter the 4rd week.

SeedlockHolmes Photos added but more coming *UPDATE* 3 VEG - 25th day of grow: WHAT ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY LADIES?! They are growing crazy xb. Adding photos today 29th April to compare to two days ago. I have to adjust LST ties daily to keep it leveled. -Doing a flush with PH 6 water today to keep it clean. The 7L pot roots are growing through the fabric. Someone already left this as a grow question: https://growdiaries.com/grower/hl2jwillsteel -Thought regulating PH would be more of a pain in the ass but using the PH - powder by GHE is so easy. After doing 3-4 feeds it's automatic to select the right amount to make it's PH 5,8-6. Takes me not more than 3-5min to measure and regulate PH. - If you like growing things you can't be a slothful person. It's amazing what a little constant effort can do and how easy it is to maintain. I hear some almighty people talking about what's best and ideal in terms of grow philosophies and methods when they haven't tried half of it. That's just INERTIA. It's always harder to think of cleaning instead of cleaning or thinking of walking instead of walking. WEEK 3 VEG - 24th day of grow: I think they have entered pre-flowering as they are stretching. Noticeable from night to day. Some parts of the plants grew 2-3 cm overnight. WEEK 3 VEG - 23rd day of grow: Feeds: - I keep the feeding nutes every watering and watering just enough for 20% runoff. Still haven't used the EC meter and for now no problems. They bursted growth between week 3 and 4 (2 and 3 Vegetative) so I started training. The plants are also consuming more water but it happens they don't dry faster. I notice to reach run off I have to use more water than previous week but after I saturate the medium it stays wet almost the same time as previous weeks. Loving coco. - Got a little trouble with n3 and n4 as I allowed, by mistake, PH to drop a bit too much but they bounced back good after a flush. Just to be safe I kept the doses a little lower on those. Also these plants seem to be different pheno form other 4. I'll add more photos of these later. - Overall raised the PH more to 6 instead of 5.8 as they could be reaching pre-flowering. - I'll be feeding the Bloom Boster by Terra Aquatica by end of week. Also added Bactobloom from Agrobacterias. General Notes: -Been saving energy by turning on the ventilation 30 min and off the next 30 min. Also not using exhaust but leaving fan on during night ours so I can sleep. Also been leaving the window open to lower temps to 18ºC. Looking for the purple. - Using Sinol Pre Gel - something like ONA Gel - on the oulet of the tent's exhaust just to test before it smells...WORTH. - "Building" the elevated saucers for the pots so that I don't have to move the plants to get rid of runoff as they grow. Leaving photos when done. - The Silicate by Terra Aquatica really making a difference on the strength of the stems. All you got to do is to drop less than a tsp on top of the substrate at the plants base and we are good to go. Keeping this one.

SeedlockHolmes Something wrong with number 4 but I can't tell what. Leaving grow question. 31st Day Despite the coco being moist the fabric pots had very little weight at 3 a.m so instead of sleeping I watered them with half strength nutes. They took 1L each to achieve significant runoff. I'll be adding a bit more of bennies today. Dropping the light hours from 20 to 18 so that the plants can stretch a bit more. Also as we are reaching summer the days get hotter so to keep the temps acceptable I'm reducing light hours. 30th Day Everything else going smoothly. I might have watered them a bit earlier today than I should but I think they'll be fine, Still going half strength of the recommended for this phase. I believe they'll start major stretch along this week and by the start of next will have evidence of flower sites. I kept bending and it responds real well. Everyday they grow enough to re-adjust the wires. Also removed a few leaves as they were getting water accumulated from being so close to each other.

SeedlockHolmes Going well. Plants are drinking lot more water than I do a day now xD. I have to do a 6L bottle and I use a fluid transfer electric pump used to pump paraffin. Very easy watering now. Cost me less than 20€. They are in their final stretch this week. Hope I have space in the tent. I've built 2 elevated plates for the pairs of plants in the corners. Gonna make some holes in it to drop runoff to lower recipient. Until now I've been disposing of runoff twice every day manually. If it isn't love...

SeedlockHolmes Week was real smooth aside from the part that most days I needed to water 3 times... Coco is demanding xb Progress with plants: Plants are going real well in general: -I lollipop them a bit removing all foliage below a certain level that would turn out to be underdeveloped in the end. -The magnesium deficiency plants : N3 and N4 are recovering well. They started flowering a bit late compared to the others...lets see how it goes. - Increasing the FloraMato to 1.5 up to 2 progressively along this and the next week. - Had to increase the calmag and the plants suffering deficiency recovered. - Been changing Ph from 5.9-6.1 mostly 6 or 6.1 Smell and Flavor: -All of them except N1 are purple phenos. with the N6 being the most purple -N6 smells sweet and citric and all other phenos are a STRAWBERRY PIE EXPLOSION IN MY NOSE!!!!

SeedlockHolmes Didn't get a chance to record photos for week 7 so I'll jump to 8. Started the fattening phase so I started giving them Ripen. Kept the cal mag as they started showing signs of needing it. Kept the flowering booster and feed it every other day more or so for this week. I'm watering them 2 a day sometimes 3 times a day if the days are hotter. I flushed them a bit to raise pH of run off as it was getting not higher than 5.9 The smell is already very compost. I can sense all kind of tropical hints like pineapple or a mix of fruit salad. The more purple pheno is too very sweet but more citric. This will be amazing for those who like a different taste from puff to puff 👍👌 Plan is to keep the Ripen next week and then flush. Gonna keep an eye on trichomes but for now they have some crystal clear so a few more weeks. I think on the strain info says 63-78 days. I think it's will be around the 78 these ones.
