12/28: I did a reservoir swap on all the plants and adjusted their PHs to 5.8. Humidity was getting really low So I added some containers with water and a towel dipped in to act like a wick to increase the RH. The smell has started to get noticeable so Ill have to be adding the carbon filter sooner.
12/29: Humidity has responded well and has increased to near desired levels. All reservoirs were topped off and had their PH's adjusted to 6 because they have been dropping low lately. Moved the SCROG placements a bit and adjusted the fans as well. Refilled the ambient containers of water for RH levels.
12/30: Reservoirs were topped and although only one needed a noticeable amount. All reservoirs have dropped low again and have been adjusted to 6 to compensate once more. The humidity has reached desired levels and is being stable thankfully!
02/31: I removed a few containers of water because the RH has become fairly stable. The reservoirs were of course topped off, but today they were adjusted to a PH of 5.8 instead of 6 like the last few days. Adjusted the SCROG a small amount. The plants are showing severe Mag deficiency and I will be doubling their nutrient schedule ASAP I just fear the Nitrogen toxicity, but at this points its way better than a this Cal/Mag def.
01/01: Happy New Years!! I have set up the Carbon filter because the smell is getting very noticeable. I swapped out the back right non-focus plants reservoir with the doubled nutrients and added great white mycorrhizae as well. The Focus plant and the other had their reservoirs topped of with tap water then PHed to 5.8.
01/02: I adjusted the PHs of all the plants to 5.8 after topping them off with tap water. I also adjusted the SCROG a slight bit and removed some old foliage. The RH levels are still in the acceptable rage for my setup so I will just refill the open containers and not add/remove any of them.

01/03: 2 of the plants including the focus plant had their reservoirs topped off. All of the plants had their reservoirs adjusted to 5.8PH. The RH dropped a slight bit, so I mixed some PHed tap water with CaliMagic to make foliar spray. Its not enough to compensate the lack of Mag in the Nutrient schedule. Tomorrow (Jan 4th) the plants will have their nutrients increased to resolve the issues. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time in the last week to do it sooner.

This marks the end of week 8! The nutrients will be increased tomorrow and I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to show the Focus Plants buds getting plump and dark much like its non-focus plant counterparts. The focus plant has undeniably shown its Purple phenotype at this point so that mystery has been resolved. The only questions now is how fast will these plants react to the increased nutrients and bounce? I have faith in these plants to put out a respectable harvest and i'm already looking forward to future runs with this strain now that I am more acquitted to it. All of the plants will be using Great White Mycorrhizae starting with their swaps tomorrow.

@HighTV, someone give this man the DOTM trophy now. Gorgeous plant, awesome read and excellent results👍👌😎. Been a minute bud and best of luck this month. You deserve a win for all this work!👊
@Silverback_Guerilla, @TheBudWhisperer, @bulbi, -
I tried doing this review at harvest time, but the first bong rip put me into a comma 😂 The long cure is the secret with these buds anyway 😍
@HighTV, yeah none of the hydro shops around here carry great white so I’ll be using a similar product out of British Columbia (hopefully it stands up). Question - is your calmag regimen standard across the board every week as a supplement? Or only to offset any early signs of notable issues? I’m running DWC next and figured I better have that addressed now. I generally run it straight through on coco but will likely be cutting it off for last couple weeks of flower. Thoughts?👊
@TheBudWhisperer, Ah good catch. I had to add a decimal for the Great white to show on the nutrients list (It should be showing now). Great White contains the same Beneficial bacteria as Hydroguard and many many more!
@HighTV, interesting - didn’t see it in the nute details. Ur keepn it pretty simple eh? And what’s the diff with great white and Hydroguard? I’ve heard botanicare ain’t selln it anymore as well.
what do you use to photo the trichomes man thats super awesome send a link so i can get one of them, im using a version of the carson microscopes and i cant get a good view of anything,
Hey there @FoxyLoxy! I am using this USB microscope I found on Amazon I linked below! Thanks for stopping by! 😎

They got nice and purple so I am very pleased haha! Thanks, This strain was a touchy one, but with the right nutrients, I think I can get it pretty plump! @Silverback_Guerilla,
@fiognarr, Do it! Its a very interesting experience. Its kind of neat being able to see the plants react well after I go in the tent and adjust the PH. You can see a full day in just 10 seconds and it really shows how much better the plant thrives after a PH fix.
Lookn great homie. Not gonna lie, this inspired a dwc for my next auto run (also fastbuds ironically enough). Question - what’s the name of that background tune in your vid? Gonna grab me some of that too😉👍👊
@Black_Magic, Thanks! I really only use GH Flora series with Calmag and hydroguard. Its all the DWC's work honestly. Im sure hydroguard is helping them of course 😎
@Silverback_Guerilla, I was actually peeping your grow for comparison reasons the other day 😋 I was curious what other people have experienced no color at this stage. Not many have this problem, but everyone who does ends up with some variation of Black/Purple/Pink so that was comforting. The Focus plant was groomed for success and took longer to enter Flower than the others as well so your are probably right and over the next week or two the colors will come out. Your colas are looking nice and thick by the way! 😎
Thanks for stopping by @Budcrack grab a seat and welcome to the diary 😇 Time will tell but i would be lying if i said week 7 isn't looking good so far 😋
@HappyGrower, Thanks a bunch! I sure do hope so 😋 Unfortunately I applied a SCROG so those root shots wont be possible anymore, but I'm sure the final weight will be worth it haha
Thanks a bunch Silky it means a lot!
Every time I do the LST all i'm thinking about is watching it back up for the light in the lapse. It really amazing me how much growth sneaks in on you in just a single weak.
Its mesmerizing 😍
Yeah dude the dopes lookn... dope! And again I gotta ask - what song is that in the timelapse vid? Gonna be picking that one up as well. In fact you should probably just flip me a playlist when u got the time! Lol - great diary, great tunes and great updates as always bro👍👌👊😎
