Stress Killer Auto w/ Bio-Bizz Nutrients

This grow I am aiming to do some experiments in terms of techniques ( I want to try Lollipopping and maybe Supercropping ). Also, this is a side by side grow with my Stress Killer all organic nutrients by RQS ( https://growdiaries.com/diaries/79918-royal-queen-seeds-stress-killer-automatic-cbd-grow-journal-by-remarkabud ) but in this one I´ll be using only Bio-Bizz nutrients ( Fish-Mix for the vegetative stage; Bio-Grow, Bio-Bloom, Top-Max and Bio-Heaven ) to compare both nutrient lines and if safe is better with autos, since the RQS grow I am not doing anything crazy. Soil is going to be Bio-Bizz All-Mix, with added perlite and worm-humus. The seeds are being germinated on the RQS Easy Start kit. I´ve put 3 on the kit - if one doesn´t germ ( which is actually what happened lol ), I still have the other 2 I want, also, I can try to see and choose the best phenos -, but will keep only 2. UPDATES: 3rd day of germination: still, no signs of sprouting. 4th day of germ: no signs still and I decided to swap them to jiffy pellets ( I thought I´d done something wrong with the easy start, let´s see if I can do it with the jiffy´s. 5th day of germ: No signs of sprouting still. 6th and 7th day of germ: These have been real rough days for me, somehow I managed to mess it all up, I got anxious about the seed on the Easy Start ( I usually soak them for 24h and then plant directly in soil or jiffys which takes it about 2 days for it to sprout) that was taking ´´too long´´. So on day 4th anxiety got the best of me and I moved them from the Easy Start to the old jiffy pellets (and boy what a mistake it was), which got them really stressed out and now there are 2 of them sprouting REAL BAD, they´re far from looking happy but let´s see if I´m able to fix this and give them the proper attention and love they deserve. AFTER SPROUTING 9th day of germination (day 1): So, seems like one of them didn´t make it. But thankfully with a little love and attention I managed to let them happier and healthier. I´m so relieved that they actually sprouted, I was already accepting that they wouldn´t even see the light. Now, I´ll be counting for day from sprouting and this here is day one. Day 2: Both of them are looking way healthier! I´m still getting used to how much water they use on jiffy´s. Day 3: They are looking good! Healthy and greener than I ever expected ( I was really worried when they were yellowish ). I´m doing the watering everyday when I see it´s more dry than I want it to be. Straight tap water. Except today that I watered with 5.8pH mineral water. Day 4: Growing healthy! Day 5: I forgot to water yesterday and one of them was looking a little rugged but I did the watering and now they are looking healthy once again! Day 6 and 7: Looking good, way healthier than it was before and getting ready to plant them on the final pots.

So, this week started off with the plants transplant into the final pot. 10L of All-Mix soil with 1L of added perlite and 100ml of Plagron Mega Worm. Day 8: Transplanted and looking healthy. Watered with 250ml of 6.1 pH water. Day 9: Looking a little rugged but healthy. I think I overwatered a bit. The idea now is to be gradually lowering the light to about 50-60cm without stressing the plant too much. Day 10: Looking healthy and green. I´ll watch out for overwatering. Day 11 to 14: Found two thrips but seems like I got rid of them. Watering with regular water and not sure if I´m going to train her, Let´s see how it goes.

D16: No watering today. Looking great. D18: Today it was a really difficult day for me. She has little soil for the size she was getting and the pot was about 1/3 filled. I ordered more soil (the same one) for other grow but since I was not using it all, I decided to fill the pot with more soil. The problem is that I stressed her by ripping some roots, hopefully it wont be that bad and will end up being a better option in the end. Also, I started the LST today. LST´ing her was pretty easy since she is quite open, the stem is really tough for a tiny plant! Watered a little with regular water. D19: Tiny pistils are starting to show up! She is looking very good and I think the LST will be a great help to keep her low and to have more even buds. D20: Rearrenged the LST and watered with 6.4 pH water. D21: LST maintenance and removed 2 tiny nodes from the very bottom since they weren´t be getting that big and I want to experiment, to see if the plant will focus more energy on the other branches and budsites.

D22: Watered 2L of water at 6.2pH with the mixed nutrients (1ml/L of Fish-Mix and 2ml/L of Bio-Heaven). Maintenance of LST done and she´s looking great. D24: They´re looking healthy, LST is going well but I didn´t plan the space on the pot, she should´ve been more on the edge to allow the main stock to have more space. Today my new light arrived, let´s see how she handles it.. It´s dimmed to 70% not to shock her. D26: Rearrenged LST, defoliated some leaves and watered at 6.2 pH with 1ml/L of cal-mag and Bio-Heaven. I´ll be now turning up the lights 5% each day, since she´s now entering the flowering phase. D27: I´m having a little problem with thrips on this girl, today I found 4, so I´ll be spraying the Total Explosion. The leaves are looking a little yellowish and thin, but it´s growing ok.

D29 : Watered with 2L of the mixed nutrients (1ml of Fish-Mix and 2ml of Bio-Heaven), ph´d at 5.8 in order to try to fix some cal-mag possible nutrient deficiency. Lights will be staying at 80% until she is totally into flowering. Did some bottom defoliation as well in order to prevent further thrip problems. D30 : Well, today was a big experiment day. I was watching some people doing some different types of training and decided to go a little further with my experiences and do some new training. I defoliated her A LOT (hopefully I don´t stunt her), took out the nodes that were on the bottom and had no chance to become at least medium-sized buds. Rearrenged all her LST and now she´s looking naked and beautiful lol. Let´s see how she responds, as I said before, this is and experiment for me to learn more about techniques. D34 : I did some defoliation today, took out some leaves and some tiny shooters that had no chance to become anything at least medium-sized. Watered with regular 6.2pH water. She´s looking very very beautiful, I have high hopes for this girl :) ! Also rearranged all the LST.

D36: She´s looking really beautiful, a little nutrient overload showing up on the leaf tips, but not anything to worry. D38: Watered 3.5L of water with 1.5ml of Bio-Grow, 1.5ml of Bio-Bloom, 1.5ml of Top-Max and 3ml of Bio-Heaven. D39-40: Today and Yesterday were pretty harsh on the girls, my landlord told he was coming to visit the apartment and I had to transfer the stuff to a friends house for the day, so all the environment changed and she stressed a lot, also, the humidity was like 75-80% and they got thrips now, so I´ll be looking forward to something to get rid of them thrips once and for all. She´s looking awesome, lots of thrics developing, mainly on the leaves, which is kinda strange to me but yeah that´s cool.

D44: Today I defoliated her and watered with 6.1 ph water. D49: Watered 3L of 6.2pH water with 1.5ml of Calmag, 0.5ml/L of Bio-Grow, 1.5ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 0.5ml/L of Top-Max and 2ml/L of Bio-Heaven. She showed up some Potassium deficiency so I´ll be heavy on the Bio-Bloom. She´s looking awesome overall. Did some defoliation to unblock budsites. She´s beautiful and the smell is crazy good!

D52: Some days ago I ordered Diatomaceous earth and it arrived yesterday but I had no time. So, today I did the mix – 20g/L - and watered the plants. Let´s see if the thrips go away for real this time. D54: Watered 1.2L of water with 1ml/L of calmag at 6.2 pH

D59: So, today I´ll be out traveling for 5 days and I´ll let a friend of mine keeping an eye on her. Watered with 3L of 6.2pH water with 1.5ml of Calmag, 0.5ml/L of Bio-Grow, 1.5ml/L of Bio-Bloom, 0.5ml/L of Top-Max and 2ml/L of Bio-Heaven. D63: I arrived today and found out she´s showing some kinda of deficiency, I´ll look into it tomorrow since it´s already late and the lights just went off.

D64: Well, as I mentioned in yesterday´s report, she has some kind of deficiency I cannot tell why, so I presume it is salt buildup - which I can see from outside the pot a little more than usual - from the heavy feeding. So in that regard I flushed her and watered until it runs with 6.2 pH water. Did a little defoliation for the last time, from now on she won´t be getting anymore training nor defoliation. I expected her to be a little bigger by now but at least the seems like a fast runner and will probably finish on the estimated time by RQS of 10-11 weeks. D65: The deficiency don´t seem to have evolved. From day to night she developed some nice purple on the leaves! D66: The defiency seems to have stopped and she has a lot of dying leaves, I think it´s natural and not related to the deficiency. D69: She is getting ready.. the thricomes are looking overall about 60-70% cloudy with some clear and amber, some more days, maybe a week and she´s done. D70: Well, last day of the week and unfortunately last day of the life of this beautiful girl. I guess she had 1 or 2 more weeks still but today I woke up and she had mold – Botrytis -. It was on the low buds, closer to the ground even tho I didn´t even water, but the problem I found out later what it was: 88% humidity during the night. Now, I trimmed her all and put to dry, which will be a problem since the humidity outside is 90% and it doesn´t stop raining in this time of the year. Let´s see how things go... keep following for the harvest week and review in a few. Thank you very much for reading my diary. Peace ✌️

I´m actually happy with how it turned out. At first I was sad that it have rotten but after drying and curing the smoke is really enjoyable and great for everytime of day basically, better at daytime but it´s good as a nightime smoke too. Not that good to sleep tho, it relaxes but in the end it´s still a sativa dominant hybrid. D71 - DECEMBER 9th Total wet weight is 154,6 – 96,2 + 58,4 -grams of trimmed ready to dry buds. I was worried of the climate that was very rainy the whole week but seems like Jah blessed me and the climate today is good, it isn´t raining and the external humidity dropped exactly to where I wanted, 50%. The temperature is also perfect for drying, 18 C°. D72 - DECEMBER 10th Found some more rotten parts and took them off, fortunately they weren´t big. D77 - DECEMBER 15th The buds which possibly had mold spores that survived and were dry already taken. Total: 10.3 grams. D79 - DECEMBER 17th The rest of the buds that were not dry are now ready and curing with 58% humidity control packs. Weight: 31.8 grams. TOTAL WEIGHT: 10.3 + 31.8 = 52.1 grams. D91: - DECEMBER 31st It´s been exactly two weeks of curing, burping 2-3 times per day at the first week, then just once per day for the 2nd week to the 3rd. Today I´ll be doing the harvest week.
