So I will be making week start and week end posts for this diary, allowing me to showcase the growth throughout the week the way id like and to make comments as I go along. Just put these down in their netty pots. I covered the rockwool cubes and buried the stems just a touch as this should help with fungus gnats wanting to come for the moisture in the cube. Started my nutrient solution by adding a total of 2ml of each GMB to 1 gallon of water and was able to find baby reservoirs about 2 Liters big to get them started. By the end of the week they will officially be ready to move to their big buckets and full lighting. For now, AC Infinity 1000w should hold them over. Finishing off a slow but great week. Had a bit of a rough time early on trying to manage not only the tent temperature but the res temps as well. Took to making a DIY tote container to fill with ice (its a bit of labor but I have frozen water bottles i just throw in the water to save money instead of buying ice all the time) needless to say I am more than impressed considering how expensive water chillers can be. Simple wide and sort of deep tote with a lid, cut out the squares for the res buckets and another small square i hinged back on for an open/close port for ice. Temps in the tent now stay at around 78F during lights on with an RH varying from 55-70% and down to about 69-70 degrees during lights out with an rh in the upper 60s. Letting these babies enjoy 2 weeks of 20/4 and then going to dial back to 18/6 to give them longer night time temps to see if there are any major changes. Cheers to another week!

It comes with great depression that i may end up having to start all over with new beans.... unfortunately during week 2 i had a major algae bloom that caused black fungus to grow on the leaves of the right side tote.. i trimmed them as i saw them but none the less they continued... ended up chopping off the first 2 node fans immediately leaving a completely stunted little girl... Rule of thumb and a very important one at that! GET ORP METERS! I added hydrogen peroxide 3% to my solution based on its proper dosage but did not consider how early it was for this so the extra oxygen molecule totally wrecked my system.. both totes... algae all the way up half of the rockwools... girls stunted. I have since corrected the res issue and cleaned, removed and algae infected foots after washing them down. However, the problem of the fungus still continues to spread and the plants show no signs of growth in 4 days since i noticed and redid the reservoirs.. im shocked and disappointed at the same time. Never the less, i ha e put two fresh Creme beans down to germinate in case these dont actually come back. Didnt really want a set back in weeks of growth and nutrient either.. Pictures all show whats goin on and the soil plant is there for reference since i planted that one about 4 days after the 2 Cremes popped.. im sad :(

Welp after a very stressful week, it looks like these ladies are finally doing well again. Heres what happened vs what I did to rectify: Algae bloom during week 2 due to peaking light and acidic water levels.. turns out my meters were way out of wack so dosing them with PH down numerous times throughout the day was surely a problem.. I ordered a new ph meter pen and using its calibration solution, i managed to finally dial in the correct ph both before nutrients and after.. my system is currently holding its ph way better and on a much more reasonable climb throughout the week. Looks like I went and panicked a bit too soon and threw down 2 more beans so now im hard pressed on what to do. Do i continue to hike on with the 2 ladies in the buckets, keep things the way they are, and move the 2 new beans to soil for outdoors? OR Do i start fresh with the 2 new beans given the fact that Id like to really see the potential of this strain in a perfect environment which i now obtained? Kind of a tough call to make at this point but being that my last grow around week 3 I had 12inch plants and we have now entered week 3 with around 4 inchers, i dont know what to do.......... Lets see what the majority vote will be. BIG UPDATE!!!! The girls have cracked back and are healthier than ever! theres no stopping them now! The decision was made on day 5 of week 3 so i put the newlings in their soil starter apartments for the next 2 weeks until they can go finish up outside in their big girl pots. cannot wait to see what a few more weeks will do. Hoping they shoot up and show more growth before really going into flower. fingers crossed...... stay tuned ladies and gents!!

Ok so this weeks growth has been a bit wild but more laid back in terms of me running back and forth to the tent on a daily basis to make sure everything is going well. First things first... I officially fixed a few problems as stated last week including my ph problem, algae bloom issue, etc. This week I took a shot at some DIY Hvac work (not really but youll see) I went to the hardware store and picked up and aluminum 90 degree duct with 6 inch duct hose to go with it.. pair both these with some duct tape and what I was able to do literally amazed me. Basically just taped the mouth of the duct over half of the open vent from my portable floor AC unit, readjusted the AC's position for freedom of space (the hose was plastic and bulky so the ac was in the middle of my kitchen next to the tent cooling the entire room), and simply attached 6in hosing to the duct going to my tent and babooom! I have officially super controlled the climate in my tent... FINALLY! Temps during the day only get to about 75 max and during the evening a really cool 62 degrees.. im hoping to bring out some autumn colors if thats even possible lol Anyways moving on! Defoliated the girls twice this week. Once on Day 2, and again at day 4. The girls had been super bunched up at the stalk and i was worried the shoots wouldnt get enough light to make it thru to the canopy so chop chop went the super light blocking fans.. by day 3 I was already seeing big thank yous as the lower nodes were returning from their yellowy weak looking state and started to perch and green up a bit. I did notice some yellow tipping however thats my doing as i am going by advanced nutes actual feeding schedule at teir recommended dosages to see the difference from previous grows at half dosage. New growth does not seem be affected. Defoliated again on day 4 as shown in the photos to continue bringing light to the lower nodes as they fight to make it to the top. Preflowers are starting to really pop up on the left side and only slightly on the right side... also the ph is always .2 off from left to right for some reason altho im using distilled and theyre getting the same dosage of nutes.. maybe genetics? idk. I have been able to be a bit more laid back with the girls this week, only checking the tent randomly throughout the day to make sure ph is good, and of course it is... 5.8 to start the week and 6.4 to end it. Couldn't be happier with the ease of mind in managing these during the hot end of summer. Moving on to next week!! :)
