Tutorial #1 - The Basics With Auto's

HEY everybody, Please hop over and check out my good friend Kashmir on grow diaries ! He has recently joined the seedsman affiliate team and is a new grower who has worked closely with me to learn and improve. It gives new growers a very cool unique look at seeing someone who is new at this, Learning along our tutorial series and applying the information he is learning and the results he is obtaining, Make sure to head over and follow his profile to join in along the journey with us! I STRONGLY recommend looking at his Jack Herer diary & Gelato to see what is possible with some effort and patience. Some of the most beautiful buds I have seen! This is possible for each and everyone to achieve through putting your focus into learning the methodology properly and having patience. We want you all to see that with the ability to study the correct information and what is fundamental to growing cannabis, Not just videos to copy and follow along with that anybody can learn to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. Legacy Market Farm's goal is to help open up the abilities of the average home grower to have a more complete basic understanding of how to do these things, Which once you cut through all the dissinfo / missinfo & myth / Rumor it really is not all that difficult like a lot of people would want you to believe. growdiaries.com/grower/kashmir

So today we did some diagnostic troubleshooting on the less than optimal looking Northern Lights, Lets touch on that before the episode comes out with all the recorded footage. Symptoms : We where seeing the plant's leaf showing signs of die off & what looked like lock-out happening, This was further confirmed by the bag still retaining all the moisture nearly from its last feed while all other plants are ready by tomorrow or next day for their next watering. Conclusion : Something was causing this plant to shut down intake, This lead to me diagnosing it the following ways. I tested the PAR hitting the tops of the plant to see if it was getting too much light, Even though it was not tacoing I wanted to rule this out, It was receiving average levels of PAR, Ticked that one off the box. Tested the plant top temps with my fluke 64 MAX, They checked out as well & ticked that one off. Then it was root-zone diagnostic time so we did a flush with PH 6.1 water & collected run off. PPM was 550 which was great, BUT the PH Was 4.5, BOOM. There was the problem. Now what could have caused this ? If we are talking about condensation and that dripping into the bag, It should have by all accounts caused a PH spike. But it did not, It was incredibly low PH instead, Very acidic. It took me awhile to figure out what could have caused this but my resting hypothesis is that it is from the WALLAMMO, The soil that went into that 3 gallon must have been hot with Wallammo, As it says on the package it balances the PH of the soil. It is my only conclusion I can come to on what would have caused this. Solution : I had a couple options to me but taking into account the type of plants we are growing ( Autoflowers ) & where we are at in stage of growth, Nearing end of week 3. We have to take those factors into consideration. The obvious answer was flush it like crazy. The only problem with that is I feel it would really stunt and effect the plant being it is approaching flower, This would likely take a good week or 2 to dry out fully and then begin recovery which if it was indeed the Wallammo in that specific bag, It might not be enough to solve the problem. The next solution was to flush it & transplant it into a fresh bag, With fresh soil. Given the circumstances and potential cause of the problem this seemed the only solution. The plant was moved into a fresh bag with fresh soil & given a small dose of rapid start & B-Vital to hopefully, Guide it through to recovery. All of this was documented and will be included in the next episode. @love_2_grow Thank you so much for inspiring the idea to include this as part of the series. I really felt it was a great opportunity to show how to diagnose your plants & come to a solution, Make the choice & do it. Whether it works or not, We will see but in the end we are chalking up experience every time we must deal with adversity in our rooms, DO NOT shy away from the experience. Embrace it & learn from it.

** UPDATE ** May 12th 2022 - Today is day 2 in soil for the seeds after a 24hr soak. I am currently in the process of installing all of our editing software & music production software back onto a brand new 1TB SSD drive we got to replace our old HDD that was failing and becoming unstable. Through the rest of this week I will be editing the next episodes together. The grow diary will continue to be updated while I produce the tent construction & germination preparation & the germination episodes for release. Thanks so much for everybody's continued support!

Hey everybody, Have not been able to comment or message for the past like 3 days. Everything seems to be in working order now though! EPISODE 8 - WEEK 2 FLOWER - www.youtube.com/watch

Today the seeds begin their soak for 24hrs in warm water before going into substrate ! Pictures coming later today I am also editing together the next 2 episodes. Soil prep, Nutrient overview & then the germination episode.

HERE it is you guys, Episode 7! Episode 7 - Week 1 Flower SCHWAZZE, Continuing Transition & Week 5 Plant Life Care - www.youtube.com/watch

Episode #2 Tent preparation, Nutrient overview & germination www.youtube.com/watch

** ANNOUNCEMENT ** The seeds are finally soaking now for 24hrs befor going into substrate. I apologize to everyone for this crazy delay but from here on out we will be very busy! I have lots of footage from the past few days to shape into the next 2 episodes in the series and will be busy at work on that. This diary unfortunately got flagged for being abandoned but I am currently getting @growdiaries to help me solve this problem.

ANNOUNCEMENT. Just a heads up for everyone. I have spoken with seedsman if their seeds do not arrive by may 9th i will be starting this series with autoflower genetics i already have. This tutorial series is sponsored by seedsman and these strains where to be the star of the first tutorial installment to promote their amazing 420 sale. With that said they understand i can only wait so long due to their delay and they are okay with me starting up with other non seedsman strains due to this. So whether the seedsman strains get here by then or not, May 9th is official germination date regardless. Thank you to each and every one of you for your patience and understanding.

After quite a bit of extensive research from both myself & Sarah we have concluded it is 100% from the WALLAMMO. This product is awfully advertised as we have tested run off of pro mix / glacial rock dust / diatomaceous earth and it comes out relatively close to the 6.1 flush water. Add in WALLAMMO & it absolutely PLUMITS the run off PH. This is a huge concern now that we are this far into the grow I am for sure concerned it is very close to rearing its head on other plants. This could also be contributing to why they are growing so stalky and not growing up much at all. To try and finish this crop off decently I have decided to use a 7PH feed and hope that the wallammo does not drag it down beyond 5.7 lowest, It is really hard to know exactly how much is in each bag and how it is exactly affecting the mediums PH. Another absolutely awful aspect of how it is advertised. The product also has an incredible ability to retain moisture. It took 3 full pitchers of half gallon water to cause run off to even start to pour out & before that the grow bag swelled to nearly 20 pounds and almost ripped. This stuff has completely messed up my water cycle timings & I do believe is a large contributor to the strange growth patterns these plants are showing. I am VERY glad now that I left this product off any recommendation & in the beginning episode made it clear we where only testing it out. So I am going to go on record now *** DO NOT USE WALLAMMO INDOORS ** So from here on out we will be trying to compensate with higher feed PH to make it through this series, But this will be another good lesson learned do not use unknown new products. This WALLAMMO stuff my wife & I saw in the back of a high times magazine and thought great it deals with PM, The add made it sound like 100% NUKED PM never showin up with wallammo in the soil, Then we order it ( Mind you it took 3-4 months to get here from flippin vancouver ) & the shady owner kept giving my wife the run around and really hilarious excuses. When we finally got it the package says " MAY deal with powdery mildew " rofl, & the package says to add generously will never burn your plants, Well we have proven that wrong. This is for sure a product to avoid until they refine its advertising & direction of what type of consumer to target it at. I did not want to wait for this harvest to finish to post my review as I do not want people to copy this & make the same mistake. @seedsman, Everything happens for a reason I truly believe that. THANK GOD your seeds where delayed and we had this first series as a trial run. WALLAMMO will not be part of any future series unless we get to a point of trying it outdoors which I do believe, In a guerilla style grow setup it would shine as a very useful product. I know a lot of you are amazed at how rapidly these plants have grown but honestly they should be bigger & more filled out. This will still be a great series & capture the exact essense of what this company & channel is all about, Transparency and showing how to deal with issues that crop up, Not gloss over them. That does not help anybody except the growers own personal image.

Day 87 : Cheese XXL #1 WET WEIGHT 1.05LB = 16.8OZ WET I am fairly happy with that number considering it was beginning to dry out quite a bit no longer intaking any water. I am going to guess it does anywhere from 1.7OZ - 2.5OZ depending on how much of the 80-90% moisture loss we experience. When we pull all the plants down we will be doing it on video recording each ones wet weight and hanging it so everybody can see & start cutting through all the people who inflate diaries here and on youtube.

** UPDATE ** May 6th 2022 - Almost 1 month later, Still no seeds here from seedsman, unfortunately. We will just have to use their genetics in the next round. As of Monday the 9th of May we will be starting up germinating the autoflower genetics I already have in stock from OAseeds.com, I want to take this time to apologize for this huge delay in getting this series started. I have done my due diligence giving seedsman plenty of time for their order to show however I can only wait so long. All you guys have been so patient and deserve to see this get underway so that is exactly what is happening. This weekend I will be recording an episode of how to amend soil, What I will be amending the soil for these autoflowers with & reviewing the nutrient recipe we will be using, and then finally germinating these ladies! The strains we will be using are going to be as follows: OASeeds : Skunk auto x12 Cheese XXL auto x2 Northern lights auto x4 Fastbuds : Wedding cheesecake ( Sent to me by 1Right_Angle here on grow diaries, Check him out and give him a follow! As soon as I germinate the seeds on monday I will change the strain information within the diary its self. Again, Everyone I am sorry for how long this has taken but I wanted to be professional and give seedsman the chance to get their stuff here on time as we agreed upon. I am thankful to seedsman for being understanding however and allowing me to go ahead without strains from their catalog for this first tutorial series. So thank you for that seedsman & I look forward to growing yours next round!
