Okay So the purple train wreck must have been an old seed it did not germinate. I'm still hopeful but I doubt it I am waiting for one more plant to surface but its taking its sweet ass time lol. Will update when she finally rises. so yeah enjoy. My first time running multi strain i think ive got it good as they are all separate have their own bucket so i can fine tune what they need :) grow 1.3 green light. Stay safe people happy growing. PH is staying neutral until the roots hit the water I'm not risking an over feed :)
These girls are going great shame about the others not germing but meh oh well. Have new testing kit being sent out by RQS so will be running purple queen after this run. Im going to run the purple queen as I did the COP 1 generation of clones :) Shout out to James from RQS what a great guy :) Rookie error lol Didnt name the seeds so now I dont know which one is which haha Oh well I will haveto find my plant tags lol Stay safe ppl keep growing :) Update received my next run through along with all the freebies 5 days delivery from spain to the uk that is great in these crazy times :) cant wait to start her though need to get my other phenos done first but these are certainly next :) Thanks again James from RQS for selecting me to test their strains will detail every step :)
Hello all going into week number 3 now for these seedlings. Also it seems the seed I had written off as dead as king tutukahmon himself sprung into life. Im not sure weather I should keep growing it or call in indiana jones to explore why she took 12 days to germinate. Crazy will update pic she has missed the dead line and a super crop has gone in the pot she should have gone in im in two ways of taking it out and planting the king tut strain in its place hmmmmmm decisions decisions granted I dont loose much but I would like to grow this pheno so meh feck it ill get rid of the cutting and plant the king tut :) Lifes to short to grow the same strains over and over :P
Hi guys not much happening this week with these just plodding along nicely :) Will introduce feed this week at e.c of 1.4. Will then bbegin to lst accordingly.
Hello people I have moved these into their new home the flower tent. have started feeding them at an ec.1.4 and will continue to increase as long as I see no signs of overfeed. the empty pot is waiting for the tutukamon to enter veg then she will be in there too these strains are heavy yielding so I hope to pulll a fair amount the first lot of lst training will begin when I have picked up so bamboo shoots from a friend for more support for the plants I don't think the netting is sufficient enough to hold very large plants. I know alot of other growers tend to use yo yos which is great but im looking for something more stable and also not to have a jungle of cables hanging around my very expensive light. The weather seems to be great bbut not so good for my ladies bring back the english weather. II went to see my outdoor grow the other day and i have seen pistils but I'm not convinced shes started to flower yet II may haveto black out the green house for a day or so to help her along. Okay I fucked up pushed the nutes way to high for thiis stage flushed them out and adjusted to around 0.5-0.6 ec to kick them back into gear. Dang nute burn.
Okay so going into week 6 now for the multi strain still flirting with the idea of flowering this tent in a few weeks and then vegging the other plants for further time and then switch them too :) 8 plants should be nice yield. I stress them way too much with the over feed but I have sorted that I may have had some lock out in the yellow plant but it is starting to turn back green slowly I think I just set myself back a week or so with that one the other ladies are doing very well. Still the uk iis having warm weather which is seriously messing with my temps and water temps which is worryiing luckily they are still alive I think the extra air in the pots is what they needed. took pic of the fan controller so you can see the heat we are having its gettiing around 35 degrees centigrade which is too hot for england haha Update I have researched over the past feew weeks on different diaries and im pretty sure I have named the right ones so II do now know which strainn is which and have tagged them to be sure i dont forget :)
Hi guys not sure whats going on with the black dog i know i overfed it but it seems to have mutated I will submit a question its on flush atm just ph water.
Hello people well the black dog seems to be on the mend some nice fresh new green leaves shout out to @faroutman god send when explaining nutrient mixes. I have just topped both the criticals as I want them to grow out rather than up along with more bud Obviously. I may top 2 more times depending on space on the stretch I need a good yeild this time 190g just dont cut it :(. I want the KG ;) 💪😷😇👽😀😎
Hello so not much change this week after the tops last week the black dog is healing very well we are back to all green growth still a 2 or more so weeks until shes caught up with the rest but atleast shes healthy. Ive noticed some discolouration in the leaves which im guessing is because I hadto guess the ph this time round cause after bragging about my cheap ph meter it broke LMAO so will need to order another ASAP Luckily I have time with this one so its not a huge stress for me. I havent changed the ec because of the no ph issuse so soon as I get another I will increase the ec of the two larger plants kick them back in. Well what can i say about king tut this week just look at his majisty its hard to believe that is just 6 days since the last picture. He grows fast lets hope he dies faster ehh :) Enjoy pics stay safe and keep it green people :)
Im pleased to announce the order of 4 more buckets courtesy of the uk gouverment :) Thank you borris for allowing me to expand my grow op. More buckets means I can start 4 more strains so which lucky tester is it going to be ? Hmmm maybe I'll let the Gd community choose the strains :)
Okay any advice on anything else to add to my set up right now everything I have is as follows : x12 DWC buckets x5 Air compressors or pumps, x24 air stones x24 air lines x4 air movement fans x1 GN telos 0010 x1 Mars Hydro TS1000 x3 extractor fans x1 carbon filter
Hi guys this week we are doing well Ive noticed some orange spots coming on some of the fan leaves though I am well aware they are on a low feed at the moment so thats expected as soon as I have the main tool lol ph meter I will be able to up the feeds for the criticals. The black dog on the other hand looks like a loli pop lol I think I have mutated it with the over feed so it will be interesting to see how she flowers thats for sure
UPDATE
Unfortunatly my plants needed water before my ph meter has come so I have hadto guess again but each plant has been evaluated by myself and feeds adjusted for 3 of the 4 the king tut I'm not worried about a very healthy plant.
Hello all would like to start this week with good news. Found a new job and well its a good one so will be alot more busy in future but will have alot more funds to get this going even better if its even possible lol. Right well as youu can tell the super crit getting bit out of control now been like 18 days since I topped her and not being very familiar with this type of HST im kind stuck at what to do now. I mean should I top them again and what would happen if I did ? though i seem to have healed them from last weeks light coloured leaves by pushing the ec up to 1.0 over all 2 more weeks and we will flip these all and i cant wait going to be a long diary. new buckets are here so will update my sweet seeds diaries with the germination process before the end of the weekend. Kit it green people :) Happy growing. So I tied the main shoots down as I think thats what your meant to do lol
Hi guys these 4 lovly females are only getting better i mean the black dog has fully recovered I mean you can tell by how green she is :) pretty good for guessing the ph down Lmao. On a side note ph meter has now arrived panic over for next week :) I decided to tie down the super critical obv try get as much side branching as possible for thier final week in veg. Thats right people the flip is imminent after the two smallest plants reach above the net about 1 week im thinking with a water change on sunday. full 6 days of fresh feed with higher pk ready for the flip :) Thanks for checking it out :) Keep it green people :)
So here we go the long awaited flip lets see that stretch and finally start seeing some lovely flowers All diaries will now be updated with the weekend every weekend its the only time I have now because of work really :) Lets keep up the great growing Thank you all for stopping by any of my grows you lovely people make all these grows possible believe it or not :)
So we are well into the stretch now. look at them go I have removed a plant from here as i though it was getting abit too croweded i will moove them around in the week and install the final netting next week after the stretch is complete I hope thanks for stopping by keep it green people.
Hello all going into the 3rd week of flower now and cant you tell look at them go :) Stretch is now complete now the fun begins lets seem them flowers :) Temps have gotten low so will defenatly see some colours on this grow :) Hopefully some nice purple to the bud :)
Hi guys not much change for these beauties this week though its been a hell of a slog feeding them lol they are full in flower mode now did some light defoliation and now on to the finish keep it green people :) So I couldnt resist going in there last night and having a whiff of each of the plants not muhc smell from the purple queens but my god the king tut smells amazing never smelt anything like it. the supercritical is really nice the black dog smells very nice and the super silver haze smells gorgous too luckily the extractions and carbon filters are doing thier job and no smell is leaking from the grow room :)

Hello People So a good week for the girls enjoy the close ups i tried to get a close up of each plant :) Enjoy My friends and as always cheers for tuning in and Keep growing :)
Hi growmies right week number 6 time to push that ec get that PK in her will update ec later going to be set at around 1.7 I think for the super crit and 1.4 for the rest maybe bit higher for the super silver haze will update pics too :) lots of clear trikes which is perfect for this time :) 4 more weeks atleast :) had a huge defoliation/ tidy up last night too so looks alot better in the under canopy more air flow i hope :) I have ordered a new usb microscope so expect some nice macros in coming :) Day 37 In flower these pictures were taken. I hope I can get another week plus in :) We will trike watch most of these strains are meant to finish in 60 days some even sooner than that so Ill have to stay on it if i want peak potency :) microscope here and trike pics will be taken tonight heres one for a taster :)
Day 144 from seed almost 6 month mark with these ladies I'm actually sad to get my yield but 3 more weeks yet from advice off several very good growers Ive decided to push all future plants to 10 weeks to hopefully improve my yields :)
Hello all so Day 40 of flower week 6 complete she still has alot of feed left so going to carry on with the feed on most plants though the black dog will be set to flush tomorrow just ph balanced water to crop next week she finished way sooner than expected though I will still monitor trikes if I can get more out of her I will. Enjoy the pics most of my plants are beginning to purple out i can put this down to the cold weather but it never gets below 20 in there after reducing the intake fans on the controller. Happy growing people thanks for stopping by 3 more weeks and most of these will be finished hopefully nice bud for this lockdown xmas :) on a side note my new job is still going great so hopefully i will be made permanent soon with better pay and prospects along with better housing options in the future too :) Life is going okay at the moment. keep it green people :)
Update.
After close examination of individual spots on the black dogs trikes I have decided to keep her running either one or two more weeks though i will contiue to moniter the trikes :) also we pushed the tempture up abit to try and stop the cold stress they were having.
Update.
Black dog now on flush harvest in one week today :) 👊 10/11/11
UPDATE More plants on flush noticing a very quick turn in trikes a fair few ambering so we have decided to start the flush on the following plants:
Super Critical
2x Purple Queen
Black dog
Critical super silver haze
the king still has a fair way to go so dows one of the purple queens these will be flushed in around 2 weeks.
Harvest date for black dog 15/11/2020
Harvest date for large plants 18/11/2020 (work permitting)
Been a very long one this though I am still working with the buckets :) the nutes i think I have spot on now :) so a really big part of my growing is solved now onto the little things :) thank you all for tuning in its been a great run and I love all of you for all the encouragement and support you have shown me on this site I will continue to expand my portfolio of strains and i hope you look forward to all my up and coming flowering plants :) thanks :)
Update
So through the half way point of week 7 so I have decided to flush and harvest 4 of the plants. I have also done the harvest trim to all the ones i intent to crop well almost all i could not bring myself to tear up the purple plants the queen on the right i have not trimmed either will do more to the time of next week :) 👊
Hi guys so coming into to the final stretch now start of week number 8 the black dog has been on flush for 3 days it will be cropped in two days. Other plants that are on flush are 2 of the queens one purple one not. the large plants ie super crit and the super crit silver haze are both on flush since yesterday so they have the 9th week to go yet first harvest will be the black dog :)
She grew very well had a few problems getting the ec right but soon as I did it was plain sailing all the way through she flowered very quickly actully being cropped at 50 days by far one of the fastest flowering strains I have done so far :) Great growing pheno you should be proud Humboldt :)
Hi guys so its been a long one for the black dog the trikes already had a splash of amber about a week ago so we decided to flush her for 5 days and pull her out I cannot risk her trying to pollenate hersalf and pollenating the rest of my grow that would not be cool lol she's had 50 days in flower and trikes are mostly cloudy so she should be a nice smoke she smells very much like black berries or blackberry cordial like ribena lol quite surprising really. She is not dry yet so I have not tasted it i am just going on what i can smell but will update everything when dry the nugs are rock sold so im hoping it will weigh a fair bit guessing at 56g :) I was way off only pulled around 28 grams from her 1 ounce so pretty dissapointing im hoping the other plants will compensate for this :) very nice mellow taste can defo tell its a kush with a very nice black berry smell pungent to say the least :) other than the low yield which is down to me. nothing to do with the pheno. on wards and upwards great strain to grow :) 👊
Will update actual weights when the bud is dry and update the taste and such the finger hash was very potent and nice bare with me people be a about 5 days yet :) alll trimmed and hung. Well not even cured and utterly beautiful I can see why this strain is so popular it is an absolute dream to smoke and a good yielder one more day drying and then we will weigh her up way over one ounce I think but you never can tell :) 👍👍 well done delicious this strain is that in its very being :) Pukka
she is drying at the moment so will update more pictures when i have the time she was huge but shes all trimmed and chopped now :) thanks for tuning in many more grows going :)
Not cropped yet but she smells amazing she had 9 weeks the others had 8 plus well a very long veg lol will update everything theres maybe about 20 grams dry weight probably depends how it denses up well see. will update more when dry and tasted she has been on flush the past 5 days so should tatse nice i hope the strenght is there also upto 30% I will update soon :) will add this plant is probably not suited to the begginer grower she was quite hard to get going little bugger :) paid off though cant wait for her to be dry she stank so good :) 👊
hi guys so long awaited crop for the king tut this will complete this diary . I will add the amount of the other purple queen to the other harvest or diary thanks for following good luck with all your grows keep it green people :)👊
@StunFlower, I know right Maybe I'll be able to guess in a few weeks by the reviews haha. They cant go into flower untill the other log is down ive also tried my hand at monster cropping so I think ill be adding a clone in there very shortly too. so that should work out fine forr the next run never done a cutting from a flowering plant so will be interesting to see :) I've already rooted her and i think she is back on 24 but will be put into 18 6 so well see if she survives :)
Complete newbie to cannabis growing, just reading avidly and learning. Came across your diaries searching Hydrocrop nutrients (I use them for other hydro stuff). Not sure about your black dog - maybe a generic issue with that one plant? But if you are still using the Hydrocrop nutes and only feeding the base A you will definitely have major deficiencies. It needs to be used together with the B part, not on its own.
@Faroutman, Cheers man :) I understand your analogy perfectly :) Though I think I will invest in some much more accurate EC and PH meters This week Because the ones I'm using are cheap and It's something You do really only need to buy once so may aswell get quality. I think its just dialing in and getting the mixture correct. I mean I cant flip my plants because now they are showing signs of yellowing towards the middle of the plant which I have had before and I'm sure it was down to under feed. So I'm going back in there tonight to re feed and up the ec of all the plants that have just really got into veg I think I am pumping too much air into that tent too so I will be removing one of the fans now the weather in the uk has turned normal :). So that should help abit too I will update the diaries either today or tomorrow to show you the problems I'm having if you could take a look and point me in the right direction one plant is effected alot more than the rest and I am worried about it :( thanks for all your advice man. You know this site isnt just for Cannabis you can start a diary for your tomato plants too :) Id love to see it give you a lil boost if you ever do decide to start your cannabis portfolio :)
@TheUk420Show, I didn't know that you use tap water. As I said, if you are putting 250ml of the HydroSol stock solutions into a 60ml reservoir, that should increase the EC by around 0.5. If your tap water is already around 0.4, that gets you up to around 0.9, which ties in with where you say your feed is at.
I also use tap water. I find the Hydrocrop nutes work well with it.
I do think there is some truth in what plant breeders claim about genetics, but it's often exaggerated. In my experience with plants like tomato (of which there are also hundreds of varieties), some take to hydro better than others, and some are naturally better yielding. If you choose a lower fruiting variety, you can try to optimise the feed all you want but it will never give the greatest yield; particularly if that variety doesn't much like hydro. But all the seed catalogues try to convince you that they have the best. I guess they have a living to make but it does annoy me when breeders make false promises.
I know what a good tomato feed regime is. So I generally just try to pick varieties that perform well with it, rather than battling to get a crap variety to grow better!
I think with plant nutrients it is more clear cut than with genetics, and easier to see through the BS. Compare it to human nutrition… If you have three kids, feed the first one rubbish, feed the second a balanced and healthy diet, feed the third premium ready meals and vitamin supplements. The first will grow up not too healthy. Whereas the other two will grow up EQUALLY healthy… but the third one will have cost way, way more to feed. I mean there is nothing wrong with the premium ready meals and vitamin supplements per se, but there is no discernible benefit either. Just fancy packaging, a bit of convenience and much more cost.
Not sure that was the best analogy… But you know what I mean! Ready made liquid nutes and additives work fine, but you get the same standard of nutrition at far lower cost the way you are doing it.
@Faroutman, Thanks for a quick reply my friend :) Thanks for your advice I will try switiching the feed to your recommended dosages :) Are you saying I should us the EC as guide rather than law ? Or am I misunderstanding ? Yes you are correct you can get a vegging plant to around 1.0 EC with no problems. Though that is only one stage of 5 how I see it which is. Germination, Seedling, Pre veg, Veg And then flower. So what I was wondering could I select an ec for maybe 3 or 4 of them stages. I would really like to maximise speed in the Hydro system I know thats not impossible. Yes I understand Completely about the plants needing more Cal mag because there is no actual medium and the fact I use expensive 3200k full spectrum lighting which is LED so I had this in mind while purchasing the hydrocrop has that has very good levels of cal mag. When you put it like that I am not using alot. I have seen ppl that can push the EC of thier plants upto around 2.0 but this is only when the plant is large enough to take such amounts anywhere past 8 weeks of vegative growth. The EC meter is Calibrated I do beleive. The EC of my tap water comes out at around 0.4 anyway. which I believe is normal. So I do take that into consideration when mixing maybe that is where the mix up has been. PPM is American or Parts Per Million. It's just a more complicated way of doing the same calculations from what I can tell. thats the million dollar question with cannabis when you stack it against other plants. there is no other plant on earth with so many commercial breeders of something thats illegal in most the world. Its crazy and each claim to have the best of the best and each of them say all of thier plants and strains are unique and you need to treat them differently. Do you think thats just like the nutes alot of label bs ? and probably what im best of doing is finding an ec to suite all plants at each stage of growth and heading forward from there moniter the EC to make sure we are not over feeding but generally let the plant tell me what she needs like any other ?
@StunFlower Haha That would be good lol do they even still use them in theatres surely not haha Though I have seen breeders try catalogs like this and it work to some degree. haha
@Gizzzzy, I have never grew an autoflower before XD I don't like the idea of not being able to train a plant how i want to. Autos can go out whenever I hear though with the stresses outdoors can have I wouldnt like to try it uness grew indoors first :) though i have friends who gurrila grow them. I suppose it all goes on your experience. Thanks you too. if you ever decide to take the yt dip :) reg turning fem is always good :) congrats hehe
@TheUk420Show, yeah your right there, March is around the best time. I usually just put autos outside but I got a reg turned fem out there. I love the timelapse videos there mint !!! Let me know when it's all up and running I'll subscribe to your channel ✊🏻
@StunFlower, Haha love the emoji :P Whats soil never heard of that 😂 Ahh ive given them 4 days the ec has never gone over 1.6 so i think that should be alright :) 👊
@TheUk420Show, Flushing is a contentious topic. A lot of growers see it as completely unnecessary. I've always done it. I think 2-10 days is pretty standard with DWC; length dependent on how heavily you feed your plants. I've gone to plain water 7-10 days prior to harvest before and just let the plant feed off itself and fade away - nice colour show. With DWC we have the advantage of being able to change our reservoirs to plain water and cut the plant off from any nutrients instantly so they don't need to flush as long as plants growing in soil. 🚽
@StunFlower, Thank you man :) it is only a 12 or so days and then the real fun begins with the switch I'm going to be so busy running 7 different diaries lol Though I'm up for the challenge :)
I mixed up the strains on 1 of my last grows.. was the main reason why I put 2 strains in 1 diary. I wasn't sure until about 3-4 weeks into flower. lol good luck trying to figure it out.
Hi guys I have a youtube channel now and I have 0 subscribers so if anyone would like to be generous and check it out there is a time lapse video of this grow and walk arounds and a light unboxing :) its the same name uk420show so hopefully I can acutlly do a weekly show of the plants and live upto my name hehe here is a link to my channel :) I would really apprieate any sub :) 👊 thanks for all your guys support :) www.youtube.com/channel/UCD5rmomlZpm5SYuX2F-9wLg
@@decam, Thanks man only one is heathly and growiing fast the others are yellowing for some reason ii think its lack of feed and lack f oxygen in the water so i have replaced air stones and added an extra pump lol The queens are just coming up now so wont be long before these are iin thier new home the flower tent and then they get fed and stronger light ect.
