New grow!! Pick up 3 Indica clones at my favorite dispensary, Healing Roots, in Golden Lake, Ontario. This grow will be all Indica, with a classic like Blueberry, and 2 custom strains - Diamond Kush and Bubble Bomb... Very excited about the Bubble Bomb!

Received my new vegetation nutrition, Reefertilizer Grow, this week. Topped Blueberry and Bubble Bomb; Diamond Kush is a little slower, and looks to have been topped earlier before purchase. Maybe this is why slower growth?? Fed with nutrition, pH solution of 6.5. Being outside, it's been super hot, sunny and humid, and it rained a few times... great conditions!! Topped plants have great new growth.

Great week! Back on track with diary... Topped plants have rebounded really well, and I topped Diamond Kush at week's end... Watered by the sky as they've been living in the back yard... Outdoor grow is the way to go when it comes to easy. Just keep track of pests, feed once a week and monitor moisture in soil... Can't wait to see how big they can get... One more week before I transplant to final pots - 23.9L Root Farm fabric pots. No sponsor, but I'm loving the fabric pots!! Great drainage and aeration excess water drains through, medium never feels hard, lots of root space.

End of week 8, already! Growth is still going well. I have noticed some pest or mold damage on the fan leaves - pictures in last three photos... white coloured, raised, spots have turned rust like. Haven't seen all bit one bugs - thrips. Used a insecticidal soap spray every second day for 2 weeks, still seeing damaged leaves..?

Good news! It's not mold or a major issue with bugs. A few of those photos towards the end look like some bugs have had a couple of lunches, but what I see, and I'm always learning, is Cal/Magnesium deficiency. Check these articles from Nebula and good luck. It doesn't look that bad, my dude. https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/calcium-deficiency https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/magnesium-deficiency For the bugs, get some yellow sticky traps and make some of this bug trap juice. I put a few cups of the juice outside and place the sticky traps near the cups. I collect SO MANY BUGS its rediculous A half-cup of warm water plus two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of sugar, and about six drops of liquid dish soap just might be able to cure your gnat woes. They'll be lured in by the sugary mixture, but once they dip in for a drink, the sticky dish soap will trap them.

Transplant week! Transplanted all plants from 1gallon to 5gallon felt pots this Saturday. I used a new mix of ProMix Mycorrhiza, composted chicken manure, cow manure and coco coir... Potent stuff! The roots looked really good; loose, not bound and just poking out to be replanted... Root mass was solid, but not hard... Dealt with what I thought was a bug problem... Cal/Mag Deficiency. Defoliated plants after transplanted, and watered with water pH 6.5, no nutes - soil mix is heavy in nutrition, didn't want to over feed.

Not much movement this week. Some LST, defoliation and watered with Nutrition, CalMag... all good! Added a little metal frame to the Blueberry pot and tied out some of the branches. A little defoliation on all the plants

This being only my second 'grow' and first outdoors, I have a question about the impact of lights from my neighbor's yards, and white porch light at this point in my grow, preflower, 11weeks into grow.

Unless it's a bright spot or searchlight, I doubt the light is reaching your garden to affect anything. - However, if you're in doubt and truly want to know, go buy light meter. they'll set you back between 50 and 500$, depending on the quality and brand. (Tho, you could probably download an app for your phone that uses the camera, but it's likely not very precise if it even works.)

First week of Flowering! All plants showing pistils and looking great! Early week photos... It's been colder than I'd like, with nights dipping to 9/10°C, and days have been wet and not that hot, 25°C. I don't think my plants are getting that much light... Still in Veg, so hope when it's time to flower, 2/3weeks from now, it heats up and dries up... Hard to feed when the soil is still wet from rain. It think it's time to build a shelter for light at night(porch lights, neighbor's) and rain... Saturday pictures, Day 77... No watering today as the pots were still wet, lots of rain and cooler temperatures. So no nutrition either, but soil has lots basic nutrition, and I will be switching to a more flowering/bloom fertilizer soon.

Second week of flowering down... Switched last entry to Flowering, as the pistils and stretching indicated... The weather hasn't been so great - low 20's °C days and lots of rain or cloud cover, nights down to 10°C.

Week 3 of Flowering. Flower buds beginning to stack on several leaders. Switched to a flowering specific fertilizer, Canna Terra Flores, and still adding CalMag+, keeping pH between 6 and 6.5, aim for 6.3. Growing outdoors, I'm at the mercy of mother nature for light and temp... I've limited the rain impact on soil with a cover on each pot... Has been hard to maintain a weekly feed cycle when substrate is still wet... Plants look good, but believe they need more light. Might move one inside to see difference of pure 12-12 , 100watt led, and the cloud and rainy days ahead.

Certainly into flowering phase now! Buds are stacking and flowers starting to form! Cold nights has required me to create pot warmers and a night tent for the plants... Fun project. Will start adding Canna Boost to my nutrition feed next week. I'm not seeing a lot of new growth, but more flower development... Looks good!

Another great week of flower! The buds are stacking and beginning to fill out. Weather has brightened up, but not that warm - days at 15-20°C max and nights down to 3°C - have been bringing them inside at night. End of week 5 of 9 (maybe 8?) Flowering... Cold temps won't bring new flowers, but will help to push more resin!! Very excited!

Week 6 of 8/9 flower. Plants are looking great! Two of them had a bit of PK deficiency... Added Canna PK 13/14, but not that concerned. Flowers are beginning to fill out, and looking at the tricombs, they are plentiful, buts till clear. 2, to 3 weeks to go. Weather has been supreme! Days in the 20's with sunshine, nights have been cool, and frost a few nights - brought them inside.

Last week for my Blueberry and Diamond Kush... Kinda sad :(. I flushed with water (pH6.2) and at the end of the week, placed them in the tent for a darkness weekend. I will cut and hang Monday. The Bubble Bomb is still going and maybe a few more weeks before ready. I flushed it with water, as I did the others, but left it outside during days, bringing in at night. I will use some foliar Bloom Boost and continue to flush with pH'd water only... Harvest Time!!!

Plants have been cut and hung to dry in the tent... Good air flow with the carbon filter and an intake fan, as well as another fan inside to move air around. RH has been low at 45%, temp. around 20°C. Hung on Monday, still quite damp on Sunday... slow and low! More to come when I trim, bottle and cure.

An easy strain to grow and liked topping and LST... PK issues that were resolved, but this girl needs NUTES during flower! Found some fly larva during harvest. Took the time to go through each branch and flower and trim out leaves with larva and and hatchlings... I hung some fly traps in tent. Checks this week haven't seen anything. Still damp after 6 days in tent at 40-50% RH, and 15-22°C, carbon filter, intake and fan inside for air flow.

End of week 9 flowering for the Bubble Bomb. She has been a sold plant to work with; very resistant to any foliar issues, a bushy, squat plant, a very indica represented in the strain - a 50/50 hybrid. Buds are stacked and gooey!! Had to check for bugs and mold, only to find resin! Trichomes are still mostly clear, will continue to check with newly purchased Carson 20-60X scope... Will be buying the 60-120X version ;).

A great experience with this plant. An easy grow that responded well to LST and topping. I let her go a bit as I saw no league issues... Ended up with some white mold, so had to wash the buds after defoliating and cutting, before hanging to dry. Rough wet weight was 350g., but the kitchen scale I used isn't very accurate, may be off 100g! /-... More like 500g wet. Taste and effect review will come in month or so.
