Your Diary’s Diary

WEEK 1 QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What does everyone think of 24hrs of light for the first few weeks of growth over the normal 18hrs of indoor light to replicate nature? Once the plants are out of germination, a small amount of nutrients will be given to the plants at a 1:1:1 ratio (grow:micro:bloom). This week I’ll start at 2ml each per gallon. If the plants take this just fine, I will gradually up nutes by end of week. 60ml of nutrient solution is fed at one time. The light is a 24” Sun Blazer and is 10 inches above the tallest plant. My current setup is suspect to say the least 🤣. Temp is too low and so is the humidity. Things will be fine tho. Currently I’m leaving the light on for 24hrs…this is not my usual way of doing thing but my basement is cold and this provides heat. PLANTS NEED THE DARK JUST AS MUCH AS THEY NEED LIGHT…but 62 degrees in my basement is way too cold. Plants have Doubled in size in one week so things seem to be working. If any changes are made I will update. Thanks for stopping in and I’ll see you next week. I’ve added a pic from one of my favorite phenotypes from last harvest. 10/10/9/10 strength/taste/smell/appearance –Ethos End Game the Punch Line–

Week 2 Question of the Week: How do we get a nutrient line added to the selection of nutrients? Plants are all super green and silky to the touch. Have about doubled in size since last week. In order to get the temperature up I have moved them into the actual grow room under the 4x4 led’s…well one of them anyways. Temp is now 72/ humidity 60%. Feeding is about 2x a week at 80ml per plant each feed. One gallon of RO water with 4ml grow/2ml micro/1ml bloom is my nutrient makeup. Just enough to keep the coco moist and if it dries out in 3-4 days I know I didn’t overwater. Next week I will be switching to Front Row AG from Solstice AG. Got a great deal on the entire lineup and this is my first time switching nutrients in about 4 years. Emerald Harvest has been great to me but now that I’m filling 60ml drums with water for feeding I need something that is a little more cost effective. Plus I’ve personally seen how Front Row AG shines. Now ,if I could just get it listed here on grow diaries…so diaries like mine can show off Front Row AG. Thanks for stopping in.

WEEK 3 START OF DAY 14 Transplanted once this morning. Gonna have to transplant into final pots at a later date. Usually I only transplant one time, but I made this decision because I’m only trying to run one light in this room for now. Upping the nutrients for the start of week to a 3:2:1 ratio. Also adding some cal mag because, well, I’ve never seen purple stems this early on a plant before. KEEP AN 👁️ ON THE SMALL THINGS. Gonna wait to top these plants until they are about knee height. My grow room is 6x12 and 12 plants in this area is pretty crowded once they get bushy. Probably will top once and then top every branch 10 days before flower. Thanks for stopping in!

WEEK 4 START OF DAY 21 ⚡️I DO NOT USE THESE NUTRIENTS⚡️ I use Front Row AG nutrients. I am not not sponsored by them, just trying them out. I wish with all my wishes that GrowDiaries listed Front Row Nutrients so my diary can get noticed in my real nutrient sub category. Anywho, things are growing great. Plants grew about 5 inches in total height last week. Amazing structure and everything is super green…even the stems and veins. The largest fan leaves are just over 6 inches in width. They are also drinking 2x from last week. Light intensity is 250ppfd at the tallest plant. One light is set to 40% and that is vegging all 14 plants at the moment. Probably by weeks end they will be transplanted into their final 5 gallon pots. Thanks for stopping by!

WEEK 5 START OF DAY 28 NUTRIENTS— Front Row AG Part A 4.2g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.8g per gallon Front Row AG SI .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Clean Up .2g per gallon I am not sponsored by Front Row AG. I have purchased the entire lineup of Front Row AG after seeing it on a commercial level with great success…freakin great success! This week everything was transplanted to their final pots. I will change some things next run, but I already had 5 galling fabrics pots so this is where I’m at. I made homemade drip rings out of 1/2 inch tube. Each tube had 1/8 inch holes drilled into the bottom of it. They will be controlled by their own shut off valves individually. This is also because I’m using the last of a bunch of stuff. Some pots are pure coco, some coco/perlite, and 1 pot of promix hp. Because they will all take water at different rates, and I have an automatic water system, shutoff’s will be used to control the amount of water when the pumps turned on. This seems like a lot but I had everything on hand. Next run will be rockwool slabs and double the plants. Lights are only running at 30% 250ppfd at the top of the plants. I will update as much as possible. Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you next week.

START OF WEEK 6 Day 35 —I AM NOT SPONSORED BY ANY OF THE PRODUCTS USED IN THIS DIARY— ⭐️Nutrients Used This Week⭐️ Front Row AG Part A 4.2g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.8g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme. 4g per gallon Front Row AG SI .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Triologic 1ml per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon The room is running smooth this week. Pretty much set it and forget it. Tuck some leaves back under the net every night and refill the water reservoir every couple of days is all my duties right now. This Super Lemon Haze is incredible. Every single node on every plant was topped at the start of the week. It must have been 100 nodes I topped. 2 days later the net went down. I’m hoping to get one amazing pheno, so clones were taken from all plants in a hope for the lemon holy grail. HOLY TRINITY = SHARP LEMON SMELL/ROCK HARD CRYSTALLY BUDS/ SUPER LEMON TASTE These nutrients are superb! No burning of the leaves and they completely dissolve in water. I actually spoke to Front Row over the phone about mixing instructions. Polite and well knowledgeable group of guys to say the least. Got my EC issues figured out and all is well. Thanks for stopping by and see you next week!

WEEK 7 VEG I am not sponsored by Front Row AG or any other products. Just trying something new this run. ⭐️Nutrients Used⭐️ Front Row AG Part A 4.2g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.8g per gallon Front Row AG Si .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon Great week again and last week of veg. Everything is to the net, very close or tucked back under the net. After the initial stretch it should look like a well manicured hedge! That’s the goal at least. 6 days ago all the big fan leaves were removed all at once. The rest of the week the plants were left to heal. They looked bad after the defoliation 🤣. They are back to normal after just a few days and have gone into a major growth spurt. Remember the goal should always be to harvest as much as possible with what you have if you are limited to a plant count in your area. I am limited to 12 plants. This is the best way I know how. Next week will show me if all is going as planned. The 1st week of stretch is the hardest to control in such a small footprint. My space is 6x12 and I’m trying to harvest 10 lbs. Only time will tell. See you next week!

FLOWER WEEK 1 ⭐️Nutrients Used⭐️ Front Row AG Si .5g per gallon Front Row AG Part A 3.3g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.2g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.6g per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .3g per gallon This has been a great week. Some of the basics are coming together. Lights have been gradually raised by 5-10% every day except the last 2 days. By the end of week 2 flower they will be 100% and will stay there until last week of flower. Temp is 80 degrees, humidity is 60% and will also stay that way until the last 10 days of flower. I will go another week of tucking branches under the net to try and let the last plant reach the net. It’s just not stretching like the others. I need at least a week of stretch with vertical growth, so my smallest plant needs to catch up. There has to be 300+ tops in this 4x12 area. Every single node was topped 7-10 days before flower. Each branch has multiple nodes now. Between day 14-25 everything under the net will be removed. Clones were taken of every plant for a hopeful keeper pheno. Gonna try the whole “mother plant full clone run” for the next grow. By the end of week 2 parameters will be 1500ppm co2 1200-1500 ppfd 80 degrees 60% humidity Thanks for all the support and see you next week.

WEEK 2 FLOWER SUPER LEMON HAZE ⭐️NUTRIENTS USED ⭐️ 1st time using this lineup. All nutrients are added to the reservoir as follows Front Row AG Si .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Part A 3.3g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.2g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.6g per gallon Front Row AG Triologic 1ml per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon This week the whole slate of Front Row AG nutrients are used. For my first experience using salt type nutrient, everything seems to be going well. No deficiencies and no signs of stress. Mixing is super easy and everything dissolves 100%. One of my first times seeing no purple streaked stems in the last 5 years. My lights were gradually raised by 5-10% every day until 100%. Beginning the week PPFD was almost 1000, now it is almost 1500 PPFD. To supplement all of the light these plants will get, high doses of CO2 are given during daylight hours. The room stays at 1500ppm at a minimum. By weeks end everything under the net will be stripped and the canopy thinned of all large fan leaves. One big stressful event, so the rest of flower the plants can be left alone to bloom. It’s best to do it once IMO. I believe things are right on track. Calyxes are already starting to form on all of the plants and things will only get better from here. Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you next week.

WEEK 3 FLOWER DAY 15-21 ⭐️💰Nutrients Used💰⭐️ Front Row AG Part A 3.1g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.1g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4 g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.4g per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon All nutrients are mixed direct to reservoir in the order listed. They all dissolve 100% in water. EC 2.2 / PH 5.5 I have a total of 2 phenotypes out of the 5 Super Lemon Haze. I’m shocked they already have so much structure at this early stage. This will be a good run if things progress like they have. Lights are running 100% about 1400 PPFD. CO2 is set at 1500ppm and this could be a reason for such early development. Temperature is 80-82 degrees, leaf temp 78-80 with 60-65% humidity. I tend to lean toward the high temp/high humidity. I’ve tried managing VPD with lower temps and lower humidity and the quality/yield just isn’t the same. Things will stay this way til the last 2 weeks of flower. I’m excited to see what’s to come. The small fan leaves are already spiked with trichromes and the smell is citrusy already! Thanks for stopping by and see you next week.

GREEN HOUSE SEED CO ⭐️SUPER LEMON HAZE PRE 2008⭐️ I am not sponsored by any company…I just like the shit I like. NUTRIENTS USED THIS WEEK— Front Row AG Part A 2.9g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.0g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.3g per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .15g per gallon Room is pretty much set it and forget it this week. Feed timer goes off for 90 seconds 15 minutes after lights on and 40 seconds 3 hours before lights off. Temp 82 degrees/ leaf temp 78/ humidity 55%/ PAR 1400/ CO2 1500ppm/ VPD 1.3-1.4 Colas have doubled in size since last week. I constantly find myself removing fan leaves that block lower bud sights. There is massive oil secreting from these plants. Supercharged lemon scent is left on your hands when defoliating 😎. End of the week will be an important task. The plants will once again be allowed to dry all the way out…to the point of oh shit that’s dry substrate. Then I will flush the plants with 1.0EC mixture of Canna PK13/14 and CalMag. Then boost the EC feedings for the last 3 weeks. Thanks for all the likes and comments. See you next week.

WEEK 5 START OF DAY 29 ⭐️NUTRIENTS USED THIS WEEK⭐️ Front Row AG Si .5g per gallon Front Row AG Part A 2.9g per gallon Front Row AG part B 2.0g per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Bloom 2.3g per gallon Front Row AG CleanUp .2g per gallon FLUSH NUTRIENTS Canna PK13/14 60ml per 10 gallons GH CalMag 6ml per gallon End of week 5 I flush the plants with 1.0EC solution of Canna PK13/14 and CalMag. This is also done at end of week 2. I believe it kickstarts the flower phase and continues stalled growth that can happen at end of week 5 going into week 6. This week I am starting to see all around growth come to an end. I’ve implemented a trick over the last couple years that seems to work well. Along with the swell that takes place the last few weeks of flower we are gonna try and boost flower production a bit as well 😁. Thanks for all the likes and especially the comments. I’ve got a few huge shout outs coming the way of a few growers for next weeks update. See you then!

WEEK 6 -TIME TO DECIDE THE KEEPER PHENO ⭐️NUTRIENTS USED THIS WEEK⭐️ Front Row Ag Part A 2.8g per gallon Front Row Ag Part B 1.9g per gallon Front Row Ag Phoszyme.4g per gallon Front Row Ag Bloom 2.2g per gallon Front Row Ag CleanUp .2g per gallon End of week I will try to defoliate as much as possible one last time going into last 3 weeks. It has been a good run thus far. I’m contemplating just leaving them alone and not defoliating, but it’s what I’ve always done with great success. I was asked earlier in the week if I always keep my ph this low(5.5-5.6)? The short answer is yes. I’ve always done this and have never had a ph problem or nutrient lockout. If I tested the runoff solution, most people would freak out. Maybe I’ll do it in next weeks video…I bet it’s triple my input solution!!! I’ve trained these plants since seedling to take high nutrients and it’s paid off. Super Lemon Haze is a 9 week strain but I would bet they will go a full 10 weeks. I’m gonna push the last few weeks and put on the weight. I am shooting for 3 pounds per light. We will see. Thanks again for all the comments and questions. See you next week.

This weeks video is not to trick anyone or deceive anyone. These plants are tough and if you start them young at higher EC values they will adapt. Never feed them to the point of harm…if you start to see burnt tips on the leaves then back off the EC. I hope all my videos helped someone along this journey. WEEK 7 TIME TO FLUSH FOR 2 WEEKS NUTRIENTS USED THIS WEEK PH’D WATER 5.8 It’s the end of week 7 and all is well. I will defoliate slowly over the next 2 weeks. All the major fan leaves will come off and any sugar leaves will be left in tact. Temps will be lowered, especially nighttime temperatures. Shooting for 66 degrees and 40% humidity at night. Daytime VPD will stay consistent at 1.4. CO2 will stop sometime this week. Really I am just looking to harden the colas not grow them any further. This weeks video is about EC “stacking”. I think it’s a good one and blows some people’s misconceptions about EC build up in the substrate. Just like you can train your plants with trellis netting, so can you train them with high EC. YOUR ENVIRONMENT MUST BE RIGHT BEFORE TRYING THIS. High CO2 levels and warm temps are a must for this to work and maintain rapid growth. Good luck guys and see you next week!

FLUSH PERIOD…1ST OF 2 WEEKS NO NUTRIENTS NO CO2 This week is simply a lot of fresh air, lower temps and a lot of fresh 0.0EC RO water. First feed of the flush period I will flush the plants with 1x the pot size of water. So, I’m using 5 gallon pots…flush with 5 gallons of RO water ph’d to 5.8. Rest of the week I will feed like normal. Very little to no runoff of plain RO water. My theory is to let the plants eat the last bit of nutrients not just wash it out. This has always worked for me, so why change a good thing. One more time just in case nobody caught it on my other grow…I am looking for a few reputable growers to give me some smoke reports on what I’ve grown. DM me if you want a sample. I will ship on my dime, all I ask is for an honest review! Thanks everyone and hopefully just one more week to chop chop time!

It would only let me upload a 50 second clip I sent my buddy 🤣😂🤣😂 I’m an idiot ⭐️⭐️⭐️HARVEST DAY⭐️⭐️⭐️ Last full week was flushing again -Flush flush time 15 days -Starting runoff 9.6 EC -Ending runoff 0.2 EC No water the last day and a half. These are so full and hard I didn’t even bother doing an initial weigh in for cut hung plant material weight. These will be stored in the flower room at 58-60% and 60-62% humidity. It’s going to be a long dry. I’m guessing 14-21 days. 👆 I CAN LEAVE THESE HUNG FLANTS IN THE ROOM AS LONG AS I CHOOSE IF THE CONDITIONS STAY AT 58 DEGREES AND 62% HUMIDITY I will be back to upload a harvest week with trimmed bud shots. This was a really good grow. The super lemon haze should be a breeze to trim because of how uniform the leaves are even though there is a lot of them. Smells delicious…I’ll see you next week!

Amazing old school strain. Cakes to the stem and oily to the touch. All buds are rock hard and freakin hand size. Taste is of harsh lemon while some are more haze. Both pheno tastes are great imo. This turned out great and would grow again in the future. If only trimming were easier with this one.
