Mixed a 30-liter solution with 1.8ml AN Connoisseur AB + 0.2g Big Bud per liter. The liquid temperature is 19.8Β°C.
Replaced all filters in the system and cleaned them
The strong aroma becomes noticeable when you enter the box. Itβs quite an intriguing scent.
The external temperature remains high these days. Itβs unfortunate that during the past few weeks, especially the entire last week, I couldnβt use a stronger light levels due to the temperature.
I hope, as per the forecast, that it will cool down a bit during the upcoming week. Maybe then I can give the ladies a little relief before harvest, even though I didnβt have the opportunity to do so in the last three weeks of flowering.
The ladies are looking fantastic.
Wedding Cheesecake will likely be the last to be harvested. Thatβs better because it gives me time to partially manage the harvest.
The fragrance from all the ladies is truly delightful! π±πΈ

Today, I replaced all the filters after 3 days. Initially, after filling the reservoir with the new nutrient solution, within a few hours, all the organic material accumulates on the filters.
I believe itβs an excellent procedure to let the pump recirculate the solution continuously for two hours right after filling it and then clean the filters. Under high pressure, organic materials like kelp will likely be removed during this interval.
As for HPA, it seems thereβs no other choice. For the next cultivation, Iβll try nutrients in the form of dry powderβeither advanced nutrients or the Atina PRO line.
These days, while the temperatures are unusually high for this time of year, Iβm adding chilled liquid to the tank multiple times a day. Unfortunately, itβs the only way to maintain the room at sustainable temperatures.
The liquid cooler, whenever activated, further raises the temperature in the main room where the grow box is located.
Starting next week, temperatures should normalize, and I hope to finish this cultivation as it should be!
The ladies are looking greatβkeep it up!
The pH of the solution has started to drop, sometimes reaching as low as 5.5 by the end of the day. I wonβt make any adjustments until the next refill.
The EC values are hovering around 1.2EC. I think this is currently the right balance, with no significant fluctuations in electrical conductivity.
The light intensity remains unchanged.
This week, Iβve increased the misting interval, setting it to 70 seconds of open time while keeping the closed time the same. π±πΏ

Week 6 off Flowering in Summary
120 litter off RO water,
240ml+240ml AN connoisseur A+B, 18g Big Bud Powder, 30ml Growth Technology Liquid Silica
60kW electricity in total for light, Pumps and AC Infinity Fans. 52kW for Light + 3kW Dehumidification + AC Infinity ventilation
Week start @ 1.21EC, nutrient strength., keep strength @ 1.20 till the end of the week
Girls look superb all time, Wedding Cheesecake have two pheno, one girl is going to finis earlier than other two. Smallest Wedding Cheesecake is so juicy and buds are hard as rock even now
Tropicana Cookies has also two pheno, first is going to finish first in this grow, second is probably best in this run
Purple Lemonade is slowerst in finishing. Think its going to be a big yealder , all three girls. So far they look like same cultivars, big colas
PH was stabile and move from 5.90 min to 6.2 max. From end off the week PH is start to dropping
Light distance for this week - 50-55cm from tallest top , PPFD levels around 900 in center, trough whole week. Lowest reading 680 @ corner
Temperature are from 23c at start off day to 26c max at some points. AC Infinity T6 extracting fan program in AUTO to kick in @ 26c
Night temps around 21-23c, dehumidifier work less this week. Outside humidity is generaly low
Defoliate girls on lastt day off this week, lots off foliage is removed
After defoliation humidity drop immediately in box. No need for dehumidifier in next days
Day RH is moved from 45% to 55% max, at night times drop to 45-48%
Next week outside temperatures going down a bit . This week we have a summer temperatures already in april!
Continue in next week, lowering temperatures, EC strength and humidity

Great looking flower my man. You are one of the few growers on here I watch out for because there are so few of us who actually produce Quad A looking flower here on grow diaries & your's always surpasses my expectations ! Lovely to see, I can almost smell them & feel the thick smoke in my mouth from here !
Absoultey stunning Job WhiteEdge & a Perfect example of what grow diaries is for when it comes to showing the potential of breeder's Cultivars.
