Grow Journal - 2nd Grow Auto & Mixed bag

Planted 6 mixed bag seeds and 2 Auto flowers (Colorado Cookies, Auto Blueberry). Germinated in Water for 18 hours, then paper towels for 24hrs. 100% Germination. Used one Kratsky 6 pot 100ltr, 2 x 27 ltre large pots. 2 tents 1- 100x100x120cm (Custom) 1 card board box above large tank. changed to 70x80x90cm tent on top of 100ltr 5 smaller mesh pot Kratsky tank. 2 Auto flowers in larger tent. Upgrade tent number 2 100x100x117cm (custom) for 2 mixed in single pots follow by a Third.

Auto blueberry cracked open first then the Colorado Cookie. I moved the Auto's around to try find best conditions and on top of 6 pot Kratsky was where they began after sprouting. Mixed bag of Photo's were growing well and had 2 week head start. They were developing well

I was very concerned over days for Auto's as I wanted to top them though still too small being only in 2nd week although their growth was very large. Mixed bag were growing well but needed to shift around as they were developing well. Topped them as they were at the right size (height) for the space.

Topped and began LST with some of the mixed bag. Mixed bag seed's (Photo) were growing extremely well. They were squashed until moved into larger tent with issues such as tank breaking from handles and spilling everywhere. Girls were removed before hand luckily. I moved the Photo's in to 1 - 27ltr 2 small mesh pot Kratsky, 1 - 54 ltr 3 small mesh pot Kratsky, 1 - 27ltr 1 large mesh pot (custom made). I had to make adjustment for the plants in accordance to height space. I required low Kratsky's so the plants more vertical height.

This week I flipped the Photo mixed bag plants to check sex. Auto's required defoliation and topping which I may have jumped the gun and topped early. Need to know exactly when the days start to work out what week 3 - 4 is? after a week in flower sex was shown on all. Only 2 females out of 6. One that was topped and trained heavily and the other that initially I thought to be the male because of it's height compared to all the plants has been trained although not many Cola's. Similarly the Autoflowers were topped and began bushing out, Auto Blueberry(AB) & the Colorado Cookie(CC). One day apart from seed although CC much bigger in size from go. AB is short and bushy and CC is tall. CC is very britle as a few branches broke as I was gently LST. Unbelievably brittle! Other short and stumpy with good grwoth. Begining to show signs of flowering. They have been slightly Lolipopped and defoliated a few times already. I will have to do this Saturday as well as the 2 Auto Flowers. 21/08/20 - Decided to lollipop & Defoliate autoflowers & Photo's. Done. I either timed everything well with the autoflowers or screwed everything. Will see what happens from here although I will not be doing anything else to them except for minor LST & Defoliation of bud sites if need be.

22/08/20; Start of week 6 from my calculations. Definitely all going into flower, so I think I either killed it or screwed it with lollipop & Defoliation (Kushman technique). Time will tell although they look good. Refilled reservoir with fresh water & nutrients 5 ltrs each plant (2 x Auto & 2 x Photo's) Co2 Cannister was also added to both grow rooms. 23/08/20; LIfted & Turned lights up on Auto's almost to full strength and maximum hieght and added 2 of the new seedlings to flower tent to have 4 plants in each. Shaking cannister of Co2 everyday. Added nutrients via a full reservoir clean and fresh nutrients. 3/4 bloom 1/4 A & B. After ligting lights major growth spurt on Colorado Cookie and short strech on Blueberry. Mixed bvuds also lifted lights to max and these 2 plants are exceeding expectations. Feed, nutrient 3/4 bloom 1/4 A & B. 25/08/20; Filled reservoir again. Maximum lighting. No other changes or adjustemnts 26/08/20; All plants looking good. 27/08/20; LST Blueberry & Colorado Cookie. Refilled nutrients. 29/08/20; LST Blueberry & Colorado as well as defoliated & light lollipopping, full bloom added to nutrient, now 1/4 A & B and full Bloom. Colorado could be a few days to 1 week further along in flower. I now estimate that the Colorado is entering week 7(3rd week of flower) and the Blueberry is at week 6(Ending 2nd week possibly a little more). The slower growth could be because of the early lollipopping in veg could have been a little too heacvy and it has taken that extra week to recover. They sprouted 1 day apart. - The Mixed bag of photo's; Lightly defoliated and full bloom added to nutrient, now 1/4 A & B and full Bloom. They are about a few days to a week further along, approximately being 8 weeks from seed. They are also 3 week - 4 weeks into flower so have another 4 - 5 weeks to go

31/08/20 - Slight defoliation watering set for 1/4 A & B full bloom 2/09/20 - had some issues with Humidity in the Blueberry/Colorado tent so light defoliation again on Blueberry as its starting to stretch 4/09/20 - Great stretch on the Blueberry Humidity an issue with 2 dehumidifiers so decided against my own wishes to defoliated & lollipop. *From this point on, apart from light defoliation of bud sites there will be no more defoliation or lollipoping of either one of these Auto flowers* Smell in Auto flowers really nice not over powering but nice. I can't put a finger on what tones. Mixed bag photo's very weak smell not enough to make a call. 4/09/20 - Mixed bag is running its course , although small TSW 600 has been removed and only the UFO remains to run through Flower. I hope it should be OK? 7/09/20 - All good. Watering every day almost especially auto-flowers very thirsty! Bud size on Mixed bag & Colorado begining to fatten up.

07/09/20 - Humidity in Auto flower tent very high, Blueberry needing heavy defoliation & Colorado light as in 3/4 week of flower, Blueberry only 2nd week. Veg took longer possibly due to topping & lollipopping. Lots of stretching with the Blueberry so I defoliated and light lollipop. Light defoliation in Mixed bag tent, they are also coming along nicely and have began swelling. *New photo's with Camera* Trichomes on mixed bag is clear* 8/09/20 - Every is smooth sailing at this stage. Both tents travelling nicely. Watering every day. 09/09/20 - All well. 10/09/20 - Blueberry light defoliation Mixed bag & Colorado as well. 12/09/20 - Blueberry required furtrher defoliation. Everything is looking good. Further development of buds on Blueberry although at least 2 weeka behind Colorado.

Update 14/09/20 - All systems ahead at this stage. Plants are drinking approximately 2.5 litres per day and reservoir is constantly filled and Ph checked daily. Ph average 6.1 Humidity 50% Day Temp 28c Night 20c Seems to be Approximately 3 weeks left on Colorado Cookie & one of the mixed bag as well or may be slightly ahead, by possibly a few days. Time schedule looks as though 1 of the mixed bags 1st, then Colorado Cookie, 3rd Second mixed bag (lightly topped) then may a week or 2 will be the Blueberry. The next weeks 4 weeks are exciting!!! I'm excited to see how much more they fill out from this point! They may exceed my expectations!! 14/09/20 - I increased the nutrients slightly as the Blueberry was a little light green as opposed to all other plants that have that have lush green into flowering as well as a little extra flower boost to try to fatten up the buds. 5 mls extra of Flower Booster 25 mls per 10 ltrs. 16/09/20 - Realised that Mixed bag x 2 & Colorado Cookie only have approximately 3 - 4 weeks, so I decided to begin to reduce the nutrients instead on the 3 girls. Blueberry is at least 2 weeks behind so I have continued to feed her 1/4 nutrients and 20mls bloom per 10 ltrs. Did another defoliation on the Blueberry and this will be the last time for her until later in flower. very light defoliation of bud sites to Mixed bag x 2 & Colorado Cookie. * The Colorado Cookie has a magnificient fragrance, the Mixed bag as I'm not sure what they are they do have a Citrus fragrance. Trichomes have begun and are still clear An eye must be kept on Trichomes from here * 17/09/20 - Systems are good and everything moving along nicely.
