01/04: I Did a complete reservoir swap on all the plants with an increased nutrient schedule. I should have done this sooner, but I feared the N toxicity. The PH on all the plants has been adjusted to 5.8 as usual. Smells are kicking in really nicely. Great White Mycorrhizae has been added in the reservoirs in place of the Hydroguard.
01/05: Topped off the focus plant only and PHed all the plants to 5.8. The temperatures and humidity has been nearly perfect for my environment. The buds are starting to swell nicely and the trichomes are filling up all over and starting to turn cloudy in some places.
01/06: Reservoirs on all of the plants were topped and and their PH's adjusted to 5.8. No changes have been made for humidity and temperatures. I removed some unhealthy leaves and adjusted plant positions just slightly. Fox tailing has begun to get severe on the focus plant unfortunately with the other two plants acting normal and temperatures around 77 its looking unavoidable and genetic.
01/07: I cleaned out the bottom of tent today from the build up of debris for a clean tent! The reservoirs were topped off and PHed to 6 to combat a dropping PH. If the PH's drop again we will look towards a reservoir swap tomorrow to avoid problems and get a fresh mix.
01/08: Thankfully the PH's have stabilized and aren't dropping drastically so I will not reservoir swap right now and will do it as schedules in a few days. I topped off all of the reservoirs back to normal and PHed them to 5.8. The smell has increased drastically over the week and its amazing right now.
01/09: Applied a small amount of foliar spray to give addition Calmag and keep humidity up today. 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.
01/10: All of the reservoirs needed topped off and had their PHs adjusted to 5.8. I moved the air ducts around for better airflow. Temperatures and humidity have remained in the good zone for my environment and I look to keep it stable. I moved fans around in the tent to increase canopy airflow.

This week showed very good bud and trichome development. The addition of Great White Mycorrhizae has immediately increased bud development significantly. The timelapse plant unfortunately has genetic foxtailing on the majority of its buds decreasing overall bud structure vastly. The non-timelapse plants show little to no signs of foxtailing and have nice and chunky bud structures. These plants are maturing EXTREMELY fast over the last week and a half and its looking like harvest time will be much sooner than I anticipated given the lengthy veg time we had. Week 9 overall was pretty rough in terms of growth for our focus plant because the fox-tailing however there is only so much we can do and this week was fantastic for the other two plants so that's always nice!

@HighTV, someone give this man the DOTM trophy now. Gorgeous plant, awesome read and excellent resultsπππ. Been a minute bud and best of luck this month. You deserve a win for all this work!π
@Silverback_Guerilla, @TheBudWhisperer, @bulbi, -
I tried doing this review at harvest time, but the first bong rip put me into a comma π The long cure is the secret with these buds anyway π
@HighTV, yeah none of the hydro shops around here carry great white so Iβll 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? Iβm 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?π
@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 - didnβt see it in the nute details. Ur keepn it pretty simple eh? And whatβs the diff with great white and Hydroguard? Iβve heard botanicare ainβt 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! π

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 - whatβs the name of that background tune in your vid? Gonna grab me some of that tooπππ
@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 π
@Silverback_Guerilla, I was actually peeping your grow for comparison reasons the other day π 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! π
Thanks for stopping by @Budcrack grab a seat and welcome to the diary π Time will tell but i would be lying if i said week 7 isn't looking good so far π
@HappyGrower, Thanks a bunch! I sure do hope so π 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 π
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 broππππ
