Lord Shardik's Garden

Randall_Flagg Started week one today, from seedling stage. All seeds but Sour Apple took 3 days to germinate and break the surface, Sour Apple took 5 days. Very weak Flora series nutes with added Cal/Mag, Armor Si and .5Tsp Recharge per gallon H2O

Randall_Flagg Growing very rapidly. I absolutely love how quickly autos pop out their leaves. Flushing with 2.5ml/gal Cal/Mag at the beginning of the week. Hand watering with a very light mix of General Hydroponics Flora Series.

Randall_Flagg Boosted the nutrients up to my week 3 mix for the General Hydroponics Flora line. I have added 1tsp per gallon of recharge this week. Flushed with 5ml/gallon of Cal/Mag for one feeding before bumping up to the week 3 mix. I plan on tying the first top and pulling them down around the 4th node by the end of the week. PH is 5.8 and EC is 1.4 All plants looking happy and healthy. Sour Apple looking a little wilty and wondering if I am maybe overwatering a little too much on that one plant or if she is just unhappy being 3 days behind her sisters and getting the same nutes. She'll be fine 😬👌.

Randall_Flagg Tied down plants as they were getting a little too close to the light. Noticed some yellowing on the tips for the Purple Lemonade and thinking it's a little light stress. Turned down the light intensity and flushed the plants with 5ml/gal cal/mag. All plants getting week 4 feed of General Hydroponics Flora series. PH:5.8 EC:1.4

Randall_Flagg This has been a silly week. Both Purple Lemonades are living up to their quick flowering time. I started the week by flushing with 5ml Cal/Mag per gallon of water. I also added recharge to the flush. Purple Lemonades are receiving the beginning of flower nutrients. Gummy Bears and Sour Apple are receiving the last week of Veg nutes. Next week, all plants will be on early flower nutrient schedule. Tied all branches down and ready for the stretch of early flower. Super cropped some thick and stubborn branches. Defoliated all plants together and will get another defoliation around the beginning of Week 8. Accidentally topped the Gummy Bears. Broke the main stem trying to tie it down and it didn't recover 😭. Within a couple days other branches filled the gap quickly and the whole plant recovered from the topping quickly. I was surprised to see this on an autoflower. Temps are around 70-74 degrees F. Humidity is around 64% PH is 5.8-6.2 , EC is 190 for Purple Lemonades and around 140 for Gummy Bears and Sour Apple. 😎😎😎👽👽👽

Randall_Flagg Plumped right back up from last weeks defoliation. Structure is looking really good on all the plants, especially the Purple Lemonade. Slowly raising light intensity and dropping light height. Feeding with PH of 5.8 and an EC around 1.8. Flushing the end of every week with 1tsp per gallon of Recharge and 5ml per gallon H2O of Cal/Mag. Canopy is very even and all tied branches are growing at a great rate, allowing lower branching to catch up. 👻

Randall_Flagg Everything is growing nicely. Last complete defoliation done today. Going to let the light penetrate the canopy until harvest. One Purple Lemonade is showing its Lemon heritage more than the other and is growing a lot more lanky with longer internodal spacing. All plants are really beginning to smell. Gummy Bears is smelling like lemon/lime candy. Full flush with 5ml Cal/Mag every Friday. Watering to runoff with 5.8PH water and 1.8-2.0EC. Getting a 1tsp/gallon of water Recharge flush every 2 weeks. Added General Hydroponic's Liquid Kool Bloom last week and will continue until the final week. Adding around 1.5ml/Gallon per H2O. Everything grew very quickly and well spaced. All broken branches have mended stupendously. Happy to watch them get into full flower. 😎🙌😎

Randall_Flagg Recovering from the last full defoliation last week. The Sour Apple is showing interveinal yellowing directly after the full defoliation. I think she is recovering but she's a little angry. Plants have really stretched and flowers are beginning to look really nice. Watering at PH 5.8 and EC around 1.9/2.0 Added around 1.5ml per gallon H2O General Hydroponic Liquid Kool Bloom Flushing once a week with 5ml Cal/Mag per gallon of H2O.

Randall_Flagg The buds are starting to smell really good like candy and gas. One Purple Lemonade looks like it may take a full 12 weeks and looks to be about 1-2 weeks behind the other plants in bud development. Purple Lemonades are also not looking purple at all. All plants are soaking up their feedings and demanding around 1/2 gallon of feed every day. Watering once per week with recharge and 5ml/gallon of water Cal/Mag. PH is 5.8-6.0 EC is 1.5

Randall_Flagg All of my grows in this house have been with no AC and hand watered. I'm only using an exhaust fan, a circulating fan, and dehumidifier, and a light. I'm using one line of nutrient with added bloom, Cal/Mag, Silica, and Recharge. Everything is coming along nicely. I believe there will be about 2 weeks left of flower and I may have to flush for a week after. I will start looking with my microscope in about a week. There was a huge heatwave this week in New England and temps outside hit 95F. I turned the lights off for almost 48 hours through the heat. Hoping it wont affect them too much. Growing with no AC has its disadvantages (haha). I have been allowing the humidity to creep up a little higher in flower than I would normally in order to combat some of the extreme heat. The Purple Lemonades are not looking too purple and all I can say about that is heat? 😵 Lights turn back on tonight as it's looking like it will drop back to mid 70s this evening. The smell is candy, citrus, and gas when I open the tent. 👽👻👽👻👽

Randall_Flagg Battling heat problems in the tent on very sporadic hot days. The good news is that the humidity is helping with the heat. The Purple Lemonades and the Sour Apple are responding to the heat not too well. Sour Apple is looking the worst but is till bulking. Purple Lemonade has a little foxtailing going on. The Gummy Bears is just trucking right along unbothered. Will be harvesting one Purple Lemonade in about a week and the Gummy Bears and Sour Apple in two. The last Purple Lemonade may go another week. All plants slightly stunted from the heat hence why the long flowering time. Bud is still looking and smelling fire.

Randall_Flagg Day 89 Giving these two an extra few days. Watering with plain Ph water to a ph of 5.8. The second Purple Lemonade here was stunted and I'll be waiting until a see a few amber trichomes. Sour Apple is really chugging along despite her anger over the heat. Trichomes are looking good but I think I can get them a little more milky. Excited to try 'em both. 🙌

Randall_Flagg This week was a flushing week with plain Ph adjusted water. Really happy with how this one turned out despite the heat issues I encountered. Temps hit 90 again and this was in 48 hours of darkness before harvest. Whether that's good for trichomes or not, I have no idea. I do know that's it's good for the heat to not get any higher. 😝 Not much purple going on but thats probably a heat issue. This harvest was dedicated to my friend Doug. He was there to answer some of my first grow questions back when no-one could or wanted to talk about it. He grew some impressive trees. Happy Birthday Doug. Will update with a dried scale report and smoke report 👏👏

Randall_Flagg Buds look nice and chunky. Looking very frosty.
