Welcome to my Kosher Cake Diary. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your diaries.
Wk 4 VD23 25/5 Doing really well. Loving life and she a very nice plant to grow. Takes to LST and any light training like a champ. Very nice lady to have in anyone's garden. A beginners delight.
Looks like she's coming into preflower gonna be a small harvest.
27/5/22 Made a new batch for feeds for this week. Brought it down to 810. Added Atlas, goddesslada, fire yields to jungle juice trio. Will give another Epson Salt feed this week also. Had to add PH + as it was only 4.3. Brought up to 6.2 keeping EC at 1.6/800ppm.
28/5/22 I know this is the 2nd round of Epsom Salt. But this one marks the start of a new weekly process I'll be adding. I usually do 2 feeds 2 water feeds mix em up over 8 days. So, for one of them water feeds will now be Epsom Salt. Every 2 weeks Calmag will be added with it instead, or just calmag by itself instead of Epsom. I've heard ppl swear by it and then some not. So, I'll make up my own mind. I'm overal happy with how I've done this grow. I've sat back much more and been very hands off. I think I'm going to scale it back down a lil.. too big for my needs. This 1 will be my shorty and we gonna c how dense we can get the buds with high co2 with negative pressure environment. Ye, I know the exhaust will take away from the co2 but the ambient co2 in the room is fairly high. I have 2 co2 exhale bags going and got my friends co2 meter wasn't home but my partner said he dropped by but couldn't leave it as he was passing through and took a measurement for me. 825 in the tent and 8-850 in the sealed grow room.
29/5/22 Yup, I was right days ago. She has more or less started flowering. 1st 1 to leave the veg stage. Thankfully I'm using jungle juice trio, so no need to flush grow nute, I'm going to even the nutrients ratios out and after a week I'll do 1 part grow to 3 parts bloom and fill micro. With a few Terra Power specials.
31/5/22 Coming to the last week in the 4th. She started flowering around D25 was showing signs she was coming into preflower have a video up to show what to look for to know when to flip to bloom nutrients. If I was running on GROW+BLOOM separate nutrients I'd of flushed with water for 2-3 days before you flip to bloom base nutrients but as these nutrients (jungle juice trio), it's just a case of changing the nutrients ratio. For the 1st wk of pre flower it's recommend you use half and half then 1rd grow to 3 parts bloom so that's 1ml grow to 3ml bloom (these are just ratios not the actual mls that will be used). I have started flushing my other grows that are showing signs of coming into pre flower. I'm still giving the grow&bloom base nutrient La Sirena as this is given through grow and bloom so no need to flush that out. Shes short. The way I want her. I had this 1 set at 30-35cm after wk 2 up until flower and I'll move her close to the light at 20cm as I have high co2. I know you need high PPFD to get the most out of it but the benefits are the same, (been able to withstand a higher temp/ higher RH/ higher PPFD) SO, hoping to get a short nice dense buds from top of canopy right down to the middle, everything below that has been stripped so dense buds throughout is the goal here not so much mass but quality and eye appeal. At 20cm the ppfd will be 11-1200. Not perfect I know but it'll give some sort of better bud quality. The rest are grown nice and big. All plants are 45-59cm just before coming into pre flower there's a few more that are still young so height is still yet to be seen. But the aim of the game is nice dense kosher cake bud.
Thanks for reading

@CrazyHorse, ah it was just a case that I seen on led-grower.eu and seen them and when I went on I seen a chart and I was on my phone so could only see 1 half and it had 14 of the AN nutes I have and emailed and they tilt me in on them and they made most of ANs products and h9ld the pattens that made AN what it is today. So it was simply a case of me having the full AN line and telling them I'm thinking of doing a side by side grow, every AN nute I have I'll match them from the whole line up they sent. But then I have their other stuff I don't have in AN so am looking forward to getting stuck in.
So, the 400e I spent on my AN line is paying off in more ways than 1. Thanks for dropping by buddy.
Looking great this one. I did two of these last year, unfortunately I never put a diary on. I had 2 different phenos, one had some purple throughout the buds but I think I stressed that one out, the other one was completely different and some of the nicest I've grown. Looking forward to seeing the result buddy.
@gottagrowsometime, I've heard of drying in the fridge but I don't know enough about it to really have an opinion.
I have a lot of friends that dry in cardboard boxes they punch holes to stick the stems through and a few on the sides to get airflow and they like it, but again I haven't tried it I just hang mine in a closet that stays a little cooler than my house especially in the winter but the rh is pretty steady 40-50% I have to watch really close in the hot months because they'll dry in 3 or 4 days it's not optimal but I have people try stuff that dried in 3 days and some 8 days and they said they couldn't tell the difference. You might be able to send it to a lab and find a difference but I don't need to be that critical
@Cyrusdavirus, they do look very tasty. Quick question pal. Am having real temp issues. My attic is cold and can hang dry there. But it's like a pasdise for pests, so I really don't want to hang it there. I was thinking cause its so small it would fit in my fridge. I have it set a 5c do you think I'll get away with that or will the lack of air flow be an issue, would love your 2cents. Thanks
@Ju_Bps, thanks brother. She's just coming into preflower. Gonna be a short auto..not a massive yield but I'll nvr be unhappy with a bit of early smoke.
