I took a break from Grow Diaries for a bit, but now I am back. I never started a diary for this plant, but at least I can highlight the last 3 weeks. Great plant so far. I kept her around 450-500 PPMs (EC .9-1) the whole grow and now I am starting to reduce the PPMs to prepare for harvest in 2-3 weeks. The PH has been pretty stable except the last few days. I normally add more cal-mag and it seems to stabilize the reservoir this late in flower, but I am trying to just add epsom salts and see if that works. This late they need more mag compared to calcium, so trying to supplement that properly and hopefully it will stabilize the reservoir. The plants to the right are two 4 assed monkey autos in one 5 gallon reservoir. They are my first auto's and I should have defoliated and done more training because they blew up.. on Day 84 now.. another week on them. I had to move it out of the veg tent because it got so big, so they have been on 12/12 for the last couple weeks. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!!

I added some epsom salts and lowered the PPMs to 375 (from 420) to try and stabilize the PH of the reservoir. It seemed to help slightly. There was no PH drop today and yesterday the PH drop wasn't as dramatic. I haven't seen any amber trichomes yet, but no rush. I am thinking F68-72 harvest. I have a dehumidifier now, so my humidity isn't spiking to 65-70% at night anymore. Due to the heat, my lights are turned down almost all the way, so each light is at about 150 watts. I lowered the lights to 21" from the canopy to hopefully keep the light coverage close to the same. Thanks for stopping by and Happy growing!

Great week for her. I saw some amber trichomes today, so I will harvest her F67-69. I got a new macro lens for my cell phone, so I will add some pictures of the trichomes in the next day or two. I did a reservoir change earlier this week and brought the PPMs down to 300-320 (EC .6). The PPMs would drop to 250-275 over 2 days, so I have been adding a little stronger nutrient solution (3.75ml/gal of each) to keep the EC around .6. PH has been crazy this week, lots of drops, but expected when I reduce the cal-mag. As I mentioned last week, my lights are around 150w each (300 total) and some afternoons I have been turning off 1 light because of the heat. I pulled her this morning, so i threw up a couple pics. Can't wait for this 1. Next update will be in 2-3 weeks after harvest, dry, and some curing. Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!

Week 9. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

Black DOG was a backup plant because 1 of the plants I had in late veg didn't look great. She had a 4 week veg, but she could have benefited from another week or two. She still came out beautiful and an excellent smoke. This strain is decent for pain relief and is very uplifting. I feel a lot of euphoria, relaxation, and happiness. This is bud that you can smoke during the day and be in bliss, or at night and laugh your ass off and sleep peacefully. The buds smell sweet (not as sweet as my Sugar breath), with some gas and sour smells on the backend, a terrific combination. The taste is a bit more sweet than sour, but maybe that will change during the cure.

I germinated 2/2 Black DOG seeds and picked the stronger one. This plant was originally a backup for my LA confidential that didn't look great. The LA wound up being pulled Week 6 because she hermied, but enough about that. I had some root problems the 1st week of her life, so she was a little stunted, but pulled through and got my normal treatment, top week 3 and leave 6 arms. I should have left 7 or 8 arms and another 7-10 days in veg because she didn't get huge, but the quality it top notch, so the low yield isn't an issue. Grow Stats: 35 Day Veg w/germination 69 Day Flower End of Veg: 8" Tall End of Flower: 21" Tall Yield: 95 Grams 4 Gallon DWC Lights: 260W Quantum Board x2 (Turned down the last 4 weeks ~50%) Tent: 4 x 4 Air Pump: GH Dual Diaphragm (320 GPH) 🌱🌱Thanks for stopping by and happy growing!! 👊👊
