white widow winter grow

first grow / 2x ww feminised seeds / winter coronagrow / small, urban outdoor tent 04/05 soaked seeds in water 24hrs. glass above low-set warming mat in cupboard. 05/05 removed seeds (tiny sprouting beginning) onto evenly damp paper towels over plate. placed further damp towels + plate over top and returned to dark spot on warming mat. check dampness regularly and re-dampen as necessary. sprout length @18hrs: ~1cm 07/05 @~36hrs = ~2cm sprouts. shallow plant in straight canna terra pro. small, plastic, seedling pot (~ .5 - <1 cup substrate each) for first couple weeks of germ. encountered first noob issue where the sprout had grown thru the towel and the fine tip (say 5mm) snapped. perhaps over-shot the sprouting & 24hrs paper towel method is enough - some growers seem to do without it altogether. initial water w distilled (ph labelled as 6). not much at all, moistened w maybe 50mls of spray. thinking won't feed until settled in case of overwhelming sprout. light will be on veg for ~28hrs straight until lights off at 1730 tomorrow for 20/4 schedule. this grow suiting 2130-1730 (tent isn't light-sealed so while it could use the additional warmth all night, darkness availability wins out. ie. lights out for 'warmest' black hrs of 5:30pm-9:30pm. light currently ~35cm above pot level. put plastic bag over pot and settled in tent on rack/plastic drip tray above warming mat. mat will be needed overnight for sure but with light on temps are cruisey. 08/05 both sprouts actually seem to be taking, good turn. will photograph tomorrow, basically one has popped and the other is almost done shedding its husk. timer set for 20/4 schedule, re-dampened by spraying w distilled and replaced humidity bag. 24hrs in and some fears re: temp have been alleviated, pretty satisfied with readings taken directly beside lamp at pot height. light has significant impact. overnight low went into the teens, low of 17 (from memory) for at least an hr or so before light went on. 09/05 decent cold/rain front moved in today. temp under light still sitting at least 22+ deg steady and humidity has gone up. mat will go on for lights out for sure. no watering, still seems damp. definitely cold in the tent room while lights out - reading 15deg & light still 2hrs away from going on - outside temp 10deg. can only trust the mat (set basically to max) is stabilising actual substrate temp. 10/05 temp reading around 23 for most of day. still chilly weather, expecting similar cold drop at lights out. re-dampened w distilled towards end of day as was dry. overnight low reached ~15, back up to 20/21 before 2200. 11/05 similar weather n stable tent temp readings, max of around 24 until lights out. slightly milder night and tent got down to ~16 deg. no water, suss i'm overwatering already haha. pic of day 4 since potting uploaded. *grow notes* seeds courtesy of aussie baked beans online - seems legit. a good mate then bought seeds from em too for his own homegrow, bubblegum & ak59 have sprouted for him. went w ww which seemed mentioned as tolerating cooler conditions. growroom temp and humidity subject to the weather could be a concern, but me constraints are what they are. guess it will be a good test. temp/humidity figures are approx and indicative of normal in the week, taken at pot height in the tent (receiver dangling in pic - clearly nothin to do with the environment below the bag in germ). expect humidity to rise with any rain, and as plant transpires w growth n light height increases. it's a v concentrated, warm n dry environment with the light at under 40cm. haven't bothered with multiple receivers given the tent is outside and this fluctuates greatly irrespective. accept these measurements are only indicative and being winter the best i can do is keep things stable as possible. although not measured the substrate temp by nature would be more stable and the drop off of lights out counteracted somewhat by the warming mat. using fim i expect at least 9 weeks of veg and seems again 9/10 for bloom. a mature plant maxxing out under 1m to suit this tent is ideal. plant date 07/05, aim harvest early-mid sept. tent only set up w passive intake/makeshift exhaust (usb desk fan w stand removed) directly outside. may be problematic but can of course adjust/upgrade system depending on plants and/or future smell. didn't even run the exhaust fan for most of weeks 1-4 tho. as such tent not entirely sealed to light which from what i've read so far i'll need to address. although i wanted and began aligning growlight times with daylight, there was no way the overnight lows with lights off could be tolerated for end game 12/12 sched. tent is under small strung up tarp (rain shelter) beside window with power leads indoors. exposure and electricity dun mix so needless to say there's no plug connections outdoors. powerpoint so that on/off can be achieved without accessing tent for anything not consistent. ie. currently light & oscillating fan are only items on tent powerboard (for me - heating mat & exhaust fan are on individual leads to a powerboard inside). analogue timer units at pointpoint of light (of course) and heat mat. correctly measuring ph? can only hope i'm doing this more often than not but i've had readings of 7.3 and 8.4 from the same tap water. will keep a keen eye out for any issues developing. suggestions welcome, for reference i've got a hm digital ph80. spent a lot of time considering and prepping this urban basic home grow. a lot of methods considered, combined/adapted to what i can achieve myself from regular growers. including cred to: from seed to stoned, hemp in a pot, mr. grow it, podcast 'cheap home grow' and of course browsing other ww diaries. i'm a beginner, let's see how hardy these girls are!

13/05 fed low strength (went with about 1/3rd label recommended - 3mls into 850 distilled) ozi magic gro juice to start week 2. watered maybe 50mls or so, will keep an eye on how they react before feeding again. germ heights both probably just under ~5cm, one noticeably smaller than the other - presumably the one damaged at paper towelling. don't think these girls will remain in this pot for more than this week. pic uploaded, taken a few hrs after feed at pretty much bang on 6 days since potting, 8.5 since soak. 14/05 from this untrained eye germs are looking g, not noticing any potential nut burn from feed/problems developing and will pic again tomorrow. propped up plastic w skewer as i've seen condensation collection causing the bag to cave a bit. no water today. tent around a steady 23 & reached low of 15 deg last night. coldest night (by a degree) forecast yet coming up. tent air was def reading around 14 for at least an hr during lights out. 15/05 cool snap continues. tent air temp reading dropped below 20 w lights on for first time at early morning hrs min - probably around 7am. with an overnight low of 5 outside it seems the light alone is capable of stabilising temps under it by 10-15 degrees. reading steady 22 during daylight hrs. pic uploaded @ day 8. following lights out ie at start of plants day watered w ~100ml distilled 17/05 whole week has been low overnights between 5-9deg, adjusted air temps down a deg for this week as every lights off has touched 14s in the tent. progress pic uploaded, planning on transplanting to final pots prob tomorrow 18/05 started the morn w hygrometer issues - main display read ' - / - ' from the transmitter... which has it's own display that seemed to reading fine. reconnected it but kept playing up with no clue why. ended up just removing batteries from both and has seemed okay since. watered w distilled, ~150mls or so between both. filled final fabric pots (~20L) to a few cm under rim in prep for transplant following lights off and placed under bumped up light (maintain ~35cm distance to plant) just to bring substrate temp up to grow environment. under-filled just to allow additional packing to support the plant in case it becomes top heavy. germ pot sitting on top one of the filled finals during lights on to directly on top the warming mat at lights out. will do some digging and invest in some taller ~20l (5 gal) fabric pots ie smaller diameter than 30cm the higher light and introduction of filled pots has dropped temps by a couple deg and jumped humidity as expected. light off a half hr earlier than previous sched toward 19/5. first mild night this week coming up, ~11 deg forecast and 14 still at 2100. 19/05 final pots feeling nicely warmed, repotted while germ substrate still damp. definitely think size difference wasn't improving due to larger plant taking over the smaller in a shared pot. rookie mistookie. big sis plant just over 5cm, smaller sis plant more around 4cm ending wk 2. amazing root growth, couldn't believe it. small water w distilled but didn't soak through given the good drink yesterday and wanting to feed shortly (might feed lil sis first?). took a few more pics for reference today - plastic not being replaced. light goes off another half hr earlier again today, another mild night coming up w rain forecast so should see some high tent humidity. i'd give the ghetto exhaust a run but reckon they'll like the humidity. fed lil sis following lights on

20/05 solid storm early hrs this morn, tent seems to be well protected n no rain ingress. not much change to humidity actually, ~65. more rain due tonight and cold front temps. tent still reading around stable 21/22 after raising light at least another 15 or so cm, about ~50cm above plants for rest of veg. big sis has loved the bigger pot and is already taking off. 21/05 outdoor max of 13 and tent is reading 19-20. fed big sis w 1/3rd strength. grow tent air was reading 14 within an hr of lights out, spent most at 13. following lights out lil sis substrate was looking dry, gave her another feed too so she's had 1x more. 22/05 p much identical weather n grow room temp readings as yesterday, lights off humidity is hitting ~80. pics uploaded. ordered mini oscillating fan for air circulation - should arrive start of next week's diary. 23/05 3rd day of 13 and grow room reading stable ~21 since lights on, no early hrs dip to ~19. first light issue this evening - about an hr late to come on, the light timer had obvs inadvertently been pried from the powerboard plug. substrates getting pretty dry and watered w distilled - about 250mls between the gals. 25/05 tent temp min reading dip to 19, early hrs under 6 deg. last couple days have been max 14/15, combined w higher light i'd say average grow temps this week more like 21 and evenings 14. next week forecast more moderate so should be back to ~22/15. memory max for some reason was reading 43.9 and now 'hi', lol. progress pics uploaded, things going cruisey. 26/05 early hrs ~5 deg again but a 'feels like' of 2, tent dipped to 18. dissolved a small drop of honey in about 1L warm tap water & fed ~250mls between both just before lights out. honey's g fertiliser for root development and is lower ph than tap. read controlled changes to ph environment can be beneficial as nutrient uptake is on a spectrum. may not have much effect but will keep an eye on any reaction n likely use again right before fim next week. then it seems not recommended again until toward end/flush. mini oscillating fan arrived this arvo, just awaiting the 12v adapter 27/05 back to warmer temps yesterday and overnight into today, no early hrs dip. big sis just over 7cm, lil ~6 ending week 3, pics for reference. adapter arrived

28/05 again no apparent min dip. memory max is again reading 'hi', can't figure out what's happening. tent readings have been hitting 24+ the last couple of days before lights out. mixed the remaining ~650mls of 1/3rd strength distilled w the ~650mls of tap & honey and added ~6.75mls grow juice (ie. full strength & brings the overall feed solution to ~2/3rd strength). substrate almost dry n fed ~200mls between both following lights on, will keep an eye on how they respond but get the feeling they can handle the upped dose n can straight water w distilled soon. have just over a litre which will last at least a few feeds. 29/05 bit cooler overnight, still hardly a dip. mild day temps continue, 4th max of 17/18 in a row and similar stable readings ~22/23 for most of lights on. headed away for the weekend, feeding again although still damp, ~200mls between again. 31/05 looks like mild temps have continued while away. substrate dry & fed following lights on, ~250mls between. pics to follow tomorrow 01/06 pics uploaded, both have spots. bit concerning especially since i'd like to fim shortly and they're growing/looking so healthy otherwise. didn't notice under the light last night at feeding. see qu & answers below - will avoid wetting leaves at all n really hope it ain't anything bad... bumped the light up ~5cm to maintain height, oscillating fan & ghetto exhaust are now running, along w cold front this morn for first day o winter (rain & daytime max 11) tent cooled down over lights on, settling to 17 before lights off. turned off oscillating fan & exhaust cause reading around 12 for majority of lights out - hoping the substrate is being kept comparatively stable cause this is what most 12/12 will be like in winter w lights off during day. keeping an eye on noticeable plant/enviro changes to reflect in next week diary (forecast coolest daytime maxes yet). 02/06 exhaust still off to conserve heat & tent reading 20. powered on oscillating fan & now reading stable 19. w daytime max 15 tent got back to 20 & fed prior to lights out, again around ~250mls between. only 300 left of this feed. lights off reading around 15, min 14 before on again. 03/06 tent stable ~20, dip to 19 early hrs. end week heights are 10cm for bs and 9cm ls. balance is off a bit on the pics uploaded, and pictures aren't doing their colour justice regardless. other than the spotting they're beauties and lush green. ls has been slightly more than her sis, likely the additional low strength feed a week + ago

04/06 tent day reading stable 19 reaching ~20 before lights out, weather ~14 max. substrate dry, fed last of honey/tap/distilled/monsta bud before lights out. located node for fim-ing on bs, looks pretty much good to go and will do tomorrow which will be ~29 days since first pot 05/06 cold weather continues n cool lights on/day - tent reading dipped below ~16 early hrs this morn w overnight low of 4. won't quite reach 20 today. fimmed bs - pics uploaded. cleaned scissors just in boiling salted water, and went for it after isolating cut zone. looks like a mistake to me so here's hopin! i'll try fim ls a lil lower in a couple days in case i hit her too high 06/06 tent readings reached 20 after early hrs dip to ~17. located node on ls for fim but not quite ready. watered w 300mls 1/2 distilled 1/2 tap. first straight water in awhile. bought go green calmag, wasn't my first choice but all that was there after the drive. 1L is bloody goin to sit around for yrs 08/06 fed ~350mls of 1/2 tap, 1/2 distilled at 2/3rd strength grow juice between gals. ls almost ready for fim, will probs do tomorrow. 09/06 coldest min early hrs this morn, full blown depths of winter 2deg. tent reading dip to ~15. fim'ed ls & uploaded pics - slightly lower than bs and looks bang on fkd haha. sunny day n temp readings back to ~19 before lights out. substrate drying out toward end of plant day n fed another ~250mls between. these gals are starting to eat up pretty much daily & getting a scent to them, tastyy. 10/06 early hrs readings dip low ~16, (weather min 5). mild, sunny day again, tent back to ~20 before lights out n fed gals remaining, ~300mls between. 11/06 end of week heights are bs ~15, ls ~14 and pics uploaded, next feed will include additional calmag

12/06 rechargeable batteries for hygrometer died last night, so seem to last for ~5 weeks unless they weren't completely charged at new. early hrs dip ~13 w fan on, outside min was 4. rest of week is looking p mild. new feed is distilled:tap @ ~60:40 & 2/3rd label strength grow juice and ~3/4 label strength go green. fed before lights out, <300mls between. tucking fan leaves down/under colas to somewhat start lst 13/06 started lst using a shish kebab skewer as anchor in each pot and soft ties - basically just training main trunk to a side and again tucking fan leaves down. not sure the fim worked out on bs, or exactly what i'm goin for here re lst. still searching trainin guides but pics uploaded. mild temps = negligible early hrs dip n tent readings reaching ~21 even w fan running before lights out. lights out comparatively warm ~15. 14/06 warm overnight w no dip, tent temp ~20 for most of day. substrate dry & fed ~300mls between gals. adjusted ties. lights out readings ~14 15/06 no early hrs dip n warm max of 18 today, tent readings ~22 reaching 23. adjusted ties and big water at lights out w ~3.5l tap & 1tsp white vinegar between both gals. warm lights out dipping just below 16. 16/06 bought pipe cleaners and began training branches too, pics uploaded. reckon filling the pots more will be beneficial next time round as i haven't needed to support the gals and the soil has settled another couple cms over ~5 weeks. again warm temps & no dip (min of 13, a fair few of last weeks day maxes haha), reaching 23 before lights out. similar mild lights out, reading min ~15. adjusted week ave temp to 21 - some days readings have been 20, some 22/23 but overall maxes have been a couple deg warmer than last week. 17/06 adjusted & added ties. light hasn't been bumped since during week 4, raised over 5cm back to ~50 for wk 7. negligible early hrs dip ~19, most of day tent readings ~20deg w outdoor max of 14. substrate drying out n will feed tomorrow. 18/06 cold min overnight, down to <5 & tent readings dropped to ~15 early hrs. back to ~20 by afternoon. suburb blackout meant power was off just over a half hr, opened tent for daylight within a min. adjusted ties & fed remaining ~250mls between gals following lights on. ls is ~19cm and bs is 20 ending week 6.

20/06 last few days have been mild maxes, tent readings ~21/22. warm outdoor overnight min (~13) & no early hrs dip. substrate dry & fed ~250mls of 1/2 tap, 1/2 distilled, grow juice & go green. 21/06 mild early hrs n colder daytime max today (12) keeping tent readings steady ~19/20 throughout. adjusted ties & pics uploaded - noticing different brown patches and up'd strength of feed - ozi magic now at 75% label and go green 80, definitely seems like it could be deficiency. fed ~500mls between gals before lights out. 22/06 again mild early hrs min (~9) n daytime max of 13 = readings steady ~19. comprehensive adjustment of all ties and set on more defoliation research, seems intuitive to be removing key mature fan leaves blocking light to complement lst. keeping an eye on likely deficiency symptoms - substrate drying out & fed again ~500mls between gals at lights out. 24/06 mild day & warm overnight early hrs min (~12) = no dip, tent readings stable ~20/21. outdoor & internal humidity reading up, tent ~70. adjusted main ties. wouldn't call it defoliation, but removed a couple scraggly undergrowth leaves. considering lollipopping basically cause these gals are thick. before big soak of distilled water (ph 6) w same label strength ozi magic (75%) & go green (~80). already upping feeds but 2l between gals this time round. should help the apparent deficiency which i wanna see improvement on before lopping fan leaves 25/06 gals look to have liked the big drink/feed, will repeat in a couple days. hasn't yet dried out. thorough adjustment of ties on bs, snipped another couple yellowing runt leaves at base. again mild early hrs min (~10) n daytime max of 16 = tent stable around ~20/21. at a lean ofc but bs a bit over 24 and ls 22cm ending wk 7, pics uploaded.

26/06 cooler early hrs min (outdoors ~8) n tent dip to ~16/17. reading around 19 for most of day, expect lights off to dip under 13. adjusted all ties on ls & fed ~500mls between gals before lights out. 27/06 same big 2L feed between gals. definitely got feed on both but went back in to tent w lights off. hoping not too much damage. keep noticing the oscillating function is faulty on me circulation fan which is disappointing. automegastore gave me a refund which is tiptop. tent again reading around 19 (cool daytime max of 13), expecting majority of lights out to be under 13. 28/06 almost freezing early hrs (min of ~1.5), tent dipped ~13 and cold for majority of day, around 15/16 maxing at 17 (outdoor max ~12). adjusted all ties on bs. lights out under ~13 again & forecast low of 1 overnight - lowered diary temps to reflect cooler week. wanting to bump up light maybe another 5 soon & will do following this cold snap, probably to start next week. 29/06 cold snap continues, early hrs low of 2 meant tent dipped again around 13 and spend majority of day ~15/16. reached 18 w daytime max 15). adjusted ls ties, pics uploaded. still seeming damp after big feed. lights out again ~13. 30/06 still cold overnight (min 3), early hrs dip ~15, grow tent temps stable for most of day ~19 reaching 21. adjusted all ls ties. didn't get around to watering and will tomorrow. lights out was mild ~14. 01/06 back to warm overnight (10) = no early hrs dip. tent stable around 20/21 all day. fed remaining before lights out, just over 500mls between gals. still haven't raised light so changed diary distance to ~45. warm lights out ~15. 02/06 again a warm 10 overnight and no dip. slightly cooler daytime max and tent stable around 20 all day. adjusted all ties on bs. trained heights of gals coming in at 26 and 24cms ending week 8. pics uploaded

03/06 straight big water w distilled/tap, about 2l between gals. cool daytime max of 12 meant lights out was below 13 for majority. 05/06 last couple early hrs mins have been cool ~7 = slight dips in lights on readings. tent ~18/19 for most of day. mild daytime maxes the last couple days have meant cool lights out ~13/14. bumped light up a bit to keep ~45cm distance. only ~5 left before needing to mcguyver light rig for any more height. adjusted all ls ties. substrate drying out and will feed tomorrow 06/06 tent lights on again around 18/19 for most of day. pics uploaded. fed ~1L between gals at lights out. slightly cooler daytime max so cool lights out below 13 for majority. 07/06 adjusted both main ties. tiny bit o defoliation w removal of 2x fan leaves on each gal affected by fim. end of pipe cleaner has accidentally poked hole in another leaf oopz 08/06 didn't get around to anything today beside ordering a replacement mini oscillating fan, should arrive next wk. cool min of 5 overnight = early hrs tent dip ~16. warmer day (max ~16) meant milder lights out than most of the wk ~14. 09/06 noticed bs had snapped at main tie :((( not entirely, so holding out some hope she'll heal and make it. wrapped split together in sport tape and additional support of pipe cleaner - pics uploaded. fed ~1l between gals, removed a few more junk undergrowth leaves & comprehensive tie adjustment (obvs no main on bs at the moment). again warmish day and mild light outs ~14. end week heights are ~28 & 26cm trained(ish haha). recently there seems to be more humidity on average in the tent even during the day, think this is just due to the girls taking over the tent and increased transpiring

11/06 fed ~1l between gals. mild early hrs followed by cold front today = steady 18/19 for majority of lights on. not doing much atm given the bs split. 13/06 adjusted all ties on both gals and fed w remaining 750mls in bottle. don't want to speak too soon but bs seems to be recovering. pics uploaded. 14/06 mild daytime max of 14. tent humidity still rising - turned on exhaust as getting over 75+ and constant condensation even w light on. stabilising back to ~65 w it running and temp has dropped ~2deg. reading ~16 on mild daytime max 14. despite the split on bs, reckon this'll still be the final week of veg. both gals will be over 30cm and the end size of plants from this point will pretty much max out my setup. bought ozi magic sweetaz for bloom and a dehumidifier. turned exhaust off overnight to conserve heat, some cold nights coming up 15/06 removed sports tape from bs splint, seems to be healing well - pic uploaded. removed 1 of the lowest branches on bs cause it was scraggly. adjusted ties including an opposite direction main to bs - should be slightly pulling split together now. new mini oscillating fan arrived today. made up new lot of feed and fed ~1l between gals. didn't run exhaust today 16/06 cool daytime max (didn't reach 12) and 4 deg early hrs, tent readings only reaching ~18 and 16/17 for majority of lights on. replaced oscillating fan - the new doesn't tilt up. guess i have a spare mini fan & 12v adapter. still after a compact dehumidifier, definitely don't wanna fork out for new. lights off cooler than wk average, ~12 17/06 cold early hrs, min of 3 and tent dip ~14. cool readings all day averaging around 16. replacement fan has already stopped oscillating... absolute pos. fed last 1l of non-bloom nutes between both gals before lights out. uploaded pic - bs still isn't tied like her sis and is around 32cm. ls is ~31 trained.

18/07 third night 4 or under and again cool day w tent readings averaging around 16. lights off early (~1330), flipped bloom switch on and timer set to come back on later (~2200). 12/12 on between 2200-1000 moving forward. light seems to be producing a couple more degrees heat w bloom switched on running exhaust and humidity has dropped. 20/07 fed 1l between gals, 50/50 distilled & tap. pic uploaded 23/07 adjusted a few ties and replaced main on bs again. fed 1l between (meant to feed the sisters yesterday but didn't get round to it). since the first couple early hrs mins this week the weather/temps have been really stable 24/07 couple deg cooler overnight (~6) than the last 2 and lights on tent readings ~19. grow tent is getting pretty crammed and reckon defoliation tomorrow. pic uploaded and end of week heights for the gals is both around 36cm

25/07 fed around 1l between and removed most mature fan leaves from both gals. pic uploaded. cool early hrs outdoor min of ~4 and lights off tent readings cooler than average - around 10/11. 27/07 adjusted a couple ties & main on ls. it seems bs has ended up less bushy than ls which i'd put down to her fim-ing being just slightly too high (but also likely the stress of bs' snapped top). have a second hand dehumidifier, probably bigger than i need and since switching to bloom/running exhaust humidity has been controlled. might only need to run during lights out once buds are developing 28/07 fed again 1l between gals and adjusted a couple ties. mild weather the last couple day incl. early hrs means tent's reading ~21 consistently during lights on. 29/07 mild overnight again, about 1deg cooler than yesterday but lights on tent readings still stable ~21 it seems w slight dip below 20. 30/07 big water, 4l tap ph'd w a tablespoon of white vinegar between gals. adjusted main tie on bs. similar lights on temp readings to yesterday ie. slight dip below 20 during early hrs 31/07 cold early hrs under 4deg, lights on readings dip to ~17. removed a couple leaves, adjusted main ties on both gals. sisters are around 38cm trained & pic uploaded

02/08 definitely noticing the sisters are blooming! removed a heap of leaves from both gals (probably final mass defoliation), pics uploaded. upped feed strength (of sweet az and go green @ 125%, monsta bud steady at 75) and fed ~1.5l between. 03/08 adjusted a few ties on bs 04/08 cool overnight and lights on readings ~18/19. cold snap, front rolled in this morning w rain. lights out very cold ~8 for majority, probably close to the coldest it's been (def sustained low temps). heat mat should be stabilising substrate temps a lil. 05/08 lights on steady cool readings ~17. fed 1.5l between gals. lights out also cool ~10. 07/08 cool snap continues to end the wk, early hrs low of ~3 overnight meant readings around steady cool 16. moved house yesterday and pondering where i'll set me gals up at the new... we're on ronavirus lockdown atm but not too sketch on moving them in my car. curfew is 2000-0500 so will def be haulin em between morning hrs (+ avoids messing w light sched). end o week heights are trained 41 (bs) & almost 39 (ls)

08/08 noticing some discolouration - not sure if this is more likely a response to upping feed strength, not enough air circulation, maybe the recent cold, or a combo?? watered gals w tap and splash white vinegar, ~1.5l between. 10/08 w the question advice i've fed the gals (1.75l between) and will up sweetaz flower nutes again for their next feed. temps have been more mild again the last few days, although the batteries have just died on me hygrometer. will recharge n replace in a couple days, feed again and take update pics of the discolouration. 13/08 up'd sweetaz feed strength, fed ~2l between gals. discolouration doesn't seem to be worsening, will upload pics soon. weather has been pretty mild recently meaning tent temps should be stable 15/08 end of week heights are trained bs ~42cm and ls ~39. pics uploaded

16/08 fed ~2l between gals 19/08 again fed ~2l between sisters. forgot my regular cam heading back to me old place this morn, will take some pics in a couple days when i'm back and before i move them across. document my indoor/outdoor urban grow setup before it's dismantled haha. last 7/8 days have been mild incl. overnight lows 21/08 pics uploaded, moved gals and setup from old house which went pretty much to schedule. 22/08 clearly hecked up w the timer and light didn't go off, few hrs xtra daylight today cause we were out cleaning down our old place. was on around 16 hrs. end of week heights are ~43 bs & 41 ls

23/08 fed ~2l between gals. lights on was only about 7.5hrs today to get 12/12 back on sched. another cold snap in the weather the last couple days, lights out are hitting below 10 and lights on readings dip during early hrs. dark/purple discolouration on gals persists but isn't really taking over, will pic progression soon. 24/08 went 3+ days between last feeds and just realised i only went at half strength in yesterdays'. substrate won't be dry but will be feeding again tomorrow before lights off (at full strength lol). 25/08 fed as planned, pics uploaded. gonna up the mls going to lil sis who has ended up bigger than big sis and where the discolouration is more obvious. cold weather continues, lowest overnight yet this week (~3/4) and tent reading early hrs dip ~15. end of this week and next are forecast to be much milder/warm. 27/08 much warmer today and readings indicate no early hrs dip. reached ~25 in the morning before lights out, ave temp more around 21. warm lights out until cool front rolled in. 28/08 fed ~1.1l to ls and 900mls to bs. ave temp readings around 19 reaching 23 in morning sun. noticing amber hairs which is pretty cool - pics uploaded. bumped light up a couple cms to maintain 30-35cms. 29/08 end of wk heights are bs just under 45cm and ls ~42

30/08 up'd sweetaz strength and fed, again ~2l between gals 01/09 fed ~2l between, substrate wasn't quite dry so will hold off 3+ days til next. 04/09 last few days have been warm and lights out tent readings have been averaging ~16. lights on reaching ~30 yesterday mornin after outdoor early hrs low of 13 and heading to daytime max of 20. spring has def arrived and expect next week to be considerably warmer based on forecast. as an aside, found a big ol patch of dried fan leaves around the side of our new place... house legacy lives on it seems haha. pics uploaded. substrate not feeling dry enough just yet so feeding gals tomorrow. 05/09 fed ~1l between, being last day of the wk i already up'd to 8mls/l of sweetaz. end of week heights are ~ bs a bit over 46 and ls under 43.

another couple days readings have reached 30+ in morning sun right before lights out as warm snap continues 09/09 fed again w up'd sweetaz strength. last couple wks of flower, ls seemed to be slightly ahead of bs in terms of colour development on hairs. seems the key is to successfully align having flush end coincide w when majority of buds are at optimal maturity... expecting a couple more good feeds on ls and starting flush late next wk. bs beginning flush a few days later, starting wk 10 12/09 pics uploaded, end of week heights are bs just under 48 and ls ~43cm. awesome smell seems to be increasing in intensity, monster main bud developing nicely on bs

13/09 up'd sweetaz and fed ~2l between gals. ended up being my last feed for the gals 17/09 bumped light last couple cms on rig to maintain above 30 18/09 flush has sort of started. straight watered tap ph'd w white vinegar, around 1.75l. tips appear to be crisping which could be beginnings of nute burn but i reckon more likely regular burn w increasing warmer days where the sun is hitting the tent in the morning prior to lights out. weird green sprout has developed on one bud, pics uploaded *plan* 19/09 growanswers are that these are nanners which i hadn't heard of. not a true hermie gal but late in life it seems on a bit of research it's actually not all that uncommon? doesn't look like it should have any real effect this late and will just bring harvest forward

20/09 flush continues, hairs are increasingly amber and will begin harvest in the next few days 24/09 harvest day and removed majority of easily accessed fan leaves w scissors. hung lines w pipe cleaners one by one snipped from trunk, removing more leaves as they became accessible. cut trunk finally and hung top of plant. filled 4 coat hangers. pics uploaded. plan to let dry for at least a week, until feeling crisp/branches crack before final trim and bud removal from lines

complete drying (expected >1 week) 01/10 just shy of a week and def doesn't seem dry enough yet. mate sent down some seeds for me to start for us which arrived a few days ago. will create them journals shortly for our next lot 03/10 starting to be noticeably drier. we've had warmer weather the last couple days so room where buds are drying has increased a few degrees to reaching low/mid 20s during afternoon 05/10 began dry trim up of lil sis - removing whispy buds/growth w triglitter for butter/oil. yielded 55g of bud itself which i'm stoked about. 06/10 trimmed up bs, 50g came out 31/10 update - cured in mason jars ~3 weeks w regular 'burping' (ie. 2-3 times a day) tapering off to once. smokes well, smooth and pine/sherby sweet *grow notes* overall, this winter grow i'd consider a success. although i set out w an idea of ~2oz from each being 'success' i'm more confident in hitting that 2 next time round. the amount i learnt this lockdown in my first grow was awesome. a smaller, outdoor tent setup on the cheap (and barebones gear) is 100% possible in similar climate. if anything i'm more concerned of summer temps i'll be growing again into summer (another temp test) with some lessons and see how it goes including: moving tent indoors to reduce temp fluctuations (particularly when summer hits). smaller pot, ~2.5gal (considering my tent size and that these 19l were 3/4 filled and ended up 2/3rd by the end). training & fim'ing earlier shorter veg (~8 weeks) upping bloom feed quicker to prevent early deficiency next seeds are from caveman and strain bcn critical xxl. expensive but in these corona interrupted international shipping times just wanted supply from again a domestic aussie bank. defs considering buying ahead of time from abroad in future
