Just a quickey here. Retroactive update of Glookies from Days 8-15. Seriously lacking pictures in these weeks, so nothing special. The Deets:
The Good:
-I know Glookies will be a good girl and she already is. Second time with this strain and I'm aware of what she can do. Though she is much shorter then her sister from last grow, she is solid as a rock and growing really, really well now. She's a prayer and all the way up till lights out, she's up and taking in every photon with pleasure😊.
-Removed her from a 2G pot and pot her in new soil, new pot to test. Didn't know what was going to happen or even if I needed to scrap and start again. BlueSky Super Soil fixed that problem and the girls took off after a very slow start. After the test I moved the remainder over to BlueSky and things were starting to come up Millhouse.
The 'Meh':
-Lost some time, that's it. Done with the old medium and mix and have moved on to organics... Just kinda happened. Also turned a couple friends onto this new soil as well and none of us have complaints. It's going quite well, all round.
Notes of the Week:
-Got sick of doing manual slurry tests that were just a very rough estimate of soil pH. They worked well enough for awhile, but with issues I've had in the past 3 grows with an "off" medium, I just don't want to guess anymore and purchased a BlueLab Soil pH tester with Dibble built in. This and a new BlueLab Digital Liquid pH tester have made for a more confident grow, now. Not guessing and checking anymore, but have solid reads and calibration with this set👍.
-On pot up I decided to drop the Bone Meal this round and move to Dolomite lime instead (sparingly). With the P/Cal issues I had in grow 3, I would like to avoid any root zone blockage that may occur do to excess. Miicrobial mass was also purchased for this reason and is being used intermittently (usually half dose) to help break up any compounds building at the zone, and making them more bio available to the girls. I picked up this tip from @Nor_Cal_Kannabliss who walked me through using my first super soil and how to use what's there before jumping into synthetics or other nutrient lines. Works like a hot damn NorCal, thanks!😃
-Have two tent units fully operational now (except one has no lamp😅) and we are expanding. In current talks for a new peice of lighting tech that I'm really hoping goes through, so I can start using the second unit and amp up production. Both these units were built to the exact same specs... except for ones carbon filter exhaust (425 CFM vs 390 CFM). Acclimated and automated in the exact same way as well. These units will hopefully be used for future product testing and equivalency tests between lamps, nutrient lines, soils, etc... Just stuff to experiment with!
-Plan to start cloning and working out my first SOG grow once the ACMPR license comes back. Something I've always wanted to do, but didn't have access to that many plants before. So! Hopefully in a few months I can start my first 12-16 plant SOG on 4-5 week Veg.
Niiiiice and quick. Thanks for stopping by and I'll be getting to Week 1's retroactive update where I'll list equipment, devices and automation👍. Germination week may not be added in... Probably just throw breeder notes and germ method in Week 1. Cheers and happy trails today folks. Much love for the community and your projects🙏. Peace!👋✊
@Mrs_Larimar, lol! Not sure about the first part, but she does look good 🙂. As per usual the plants are recovery from my mistakes right now😂. But things are looking way up👌
@TheUk420Show, Thanks dude! And they were under radar for a bit until I was like "I should probably update these..."😅. They're in third week of flower now too🤣🤣. Soooo behind.

catched me
@SuggaShane, Sorry dude, missed this comment. Haha, she's in jars now and she did great (IMO)👍. If I don't drag my ass I should have harvest notes in a week or so....hopefully, lol!
@Mrs_Larimar, If the next 2-3 weeks go well, up to harvest, I feel this will be the best as well💪. Not sure about yeild, but the product I have and see is going to be perfect for me😀. Glad I picked this set🙌
Loving watching these come along bro! You're probably well on your way to winning another diary of the month with one of these current grows! Hope you're well fella 😁👍
@Cannabeans, Hey man! Long time no talk, but really nice to see ya here👋. Thanks a crap tonne for the kind words buddy. One of these girls may be put into contention this year but whooooo knows. They're not completed journals either, so I'd have to do work...Lol! So we'll see😂. Cheers man. I'll pop by your page asap
