Utopia Haze - Barneys Farm

Chow_13 D1: Little bit of stretch, Still on tap water. D2: Not sure shes going to make it. I messed up and added to much ph down(4.2) and then brought it back to 5.8 within the hour. Everything seemed well but when I went in today she was fallen over, from what I have read she is doomed(damping off 😡)Stem was shriveled at the base. I carefully removed the clay pebbles and planted her deeper. Fingers crossed she makes it. D3: still alive. Pointing to the light more then yesterday D4: Seed leaves are curling off a bit, but she is still looking good. D5: Not much change. D6: Still growing. D7: Seed leaves are yellow and actual leaves are starting to turn. I think the fungus infection she got on day 2 is gonna take her. Still give it another week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scared for her life. She fell over and is slowly getting up. Not sure if it was from a fungus or just not enough light and stretched to much. I am leaning towards a fungus since I saw the stem shriveled. Wish I got a picture but was to panicked to fix it as quickly as possible. Fingers crossed she makes it.

Chow_13 D8 - Still not looking so great, defiantly stunted or slowly dyeing. D9 - No change. D10 - Added nutrients.(4ml of each main and 1ml calmag) D11 - Slowly getting bigger D12 - Seem to be getting a bunch of salt buildup on the pebbles. D13 - Roots still have not dropped. D14 - Seems to be gaining momentum ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So far so good. Shes still alive and her leaves are getting larger quicker. Started adding nutrients at a very low dose just in case she spend her energy fighting off the fungus.

Chow_13 Day 15 - Did a water change and upped the nutrients 4 bloom, 8 micro and 12 grow. I use tap water(0.3 ec) , so I only put 2ml cal mag in. Day 16 - Shes starting to pick up pace. Day 17 - PH was a bit high(6.2) lowered back to 5.8 Day 18 - Shes growing nicely. Rinsed the salt buildup with the drip to put it back into circulation. Day 19 - EC 1.002 so it went up a bit. Day 20 - EC 0.967PH at 5.78 added 1bloom-2micro-3gro ml brought values up to EC 1.012 and PH 5.71 Day 21 - EC 1.018 PH 5.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Looking good I cant believe how much she grew this week. It took her 2 weeks to get 4 single leaves and now in one week she has 2 single leaves and 4 triple leaves!.

Chow_13 Day 22 - EC 0.8 added 2ml bloom,4ml micro,6ml gro to bring it up to 1.0 PH dropped to 5.3 and I brought it back up to 5.8. I just got a ppm meter in the mail and will be taking measurements with both. PPM 572(after nutrients were are added) Day 23 - Was a busy day, took a picture and that is all. Day 24 - EC 1.408, PPM 605, PH dropped to 5.67. Starting to notice the water level in the reservoir dropping. Day 25 - EC 1.408, PPM 605, PH dropped to 5.52, brought it back up to 5.8 Day 26 - EC 1.289, PPM 605, PH 6.0. Strange EC Dropped but PPM stayed the same. EC meter has acted up a bit for me. Going to get a new battery when I get a chance. Day 27 - EC 1.221, PPM 636, PH 5.9 Day 28 - EC 1.478, PPM 658 PH 5.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shes going great, Lots of growth looks happy to me. EC meter has been all over the place and the PPM meter is showing numbers that seem to similar. Gotta get some new batteries for them.

Chow_13 Day 29 - EC 1.500, PPM 612 PH 5.7. Looks like she is drinking more then she is eating. Going to lower the levels by adding 1L of tap water(ph 5.9), After 6h of circulation EC 1200 PPM 657. Changed batteries on both meters. One of them is messed up. Day 30 - EC 1459, PPM 657 PH 5.6. Adding another 2L of tap water(ph 6.6). Day 31 - EC 1336, PPM 578 PH 5.5. Added PH up to 5.8 Day 32 - EC 1272, PPM 657 PH 5.7. Added PH up Day 33 - EC 1200, PPM 632 PH 5.6 Added PH up Day 34 - EC 821, PPM 612 PH 5.5. Added 1 bloom ,2 micro,3 gro ml of the GHE parts to the system. no cal mag. Day 35 - EC 1276, PPM 612 PH 5.1, Added PH up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not to much action this week. New batteries for my meters. Shes starting to noticeably drink more water.

Chow_13 Day 36 : EC1195, PPM 612 PH 5.68. Topped her and also took off the first node and fan leaf and the second nodes fan leaf but left the node. Day 37 : EC 1225 PPM 612 PH 5.10. Added 4L of tap water added 4 bloom ,8 Micro ,12ml Gro and 1ml of cal mag. Added water readings were EC1353 PPM 741 PH 6.6 Day 38 : EC 1331 PPM 657 PH 5.89. Day 39 : EC 1582 PPM 657 PH 5.29. Added PH Up Day 40 - Only took a picture today Day 41 : EC 1282 PPM 657, PH 5.26 Added PH Up Day 42 : EC 1382 PPM 657, PH 6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topped her and removed some of the lowest growth. Shes seems to of taken it nicely.

Chow_13 Day 43 : Happy New Year Day 44 : Added 4L of tap water with 6ml of FloraMicro and 4ml of FloraBloom. No grow as I was told she has some nitrogen toxicity. Day 46 : EC 1046, PH 6.0 Picking up growth from topping. Shes drinking around 2L a day now. Starting to smell a little so I connected the carbon filter. Day 47 : EC 1035, PH 6.2 Noticed the tips of the leaves are starting to brown so I added 6L of tap water, PH 5.6 with only 2ml micro,2ml gro and 2ml bloom added(EC 640 ) Day 48 : EC 1026, PH 6.0 Day 49 : EC 1016, PH 6.2 Added PH down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Holidays are now over and back to the regular schedule. Missed a couple days for a picture. But got a cool canopy picture. Took well to the topping both side growths have started to pick up pace.

Chow_13 Day 50 - EC 1016, PH 6.3 Added PH down. Created a grow video and did a bunch of defoliation. Removed all of the lower bud sites. Day 51 - EC 1025, PH 5.78. Brewed a 7L batch with 3ml Gro, 2ml Micro and 1ml of Bloom( EC 543 ) PH down to 5.8 added 4L to the reservoir. Noticed the top leaves are getting a bit of yellowing in between the veins, I think its light burn. Day 52 - EC 0852, PH 5.73. Thinking of letting her heal up a bit more then I am going to try to supercrop her. Day 53 - EC 0795, PH 4.68. Added PH up and the rest of the brewed batch from day 51. Day 54 - EC 0783, PH 6.15. Day 55 - EC 0816, PH 5.77. added PH up Day 56 - EC 0987, PH 5.09. Brewed a 6L batch with 2ml Gro, 2ml Micro 2ml Bloom( EC 531 ) Added a bit of PH down to bring it to 6.8. Added 3L to the reservoir then began Supercropping every one of her nodes. Went a little crazy, lol. But cut her height a lot . Didn't tie anything down so were gonna see how she recovers. After that the readings were EC 0955, PH 5.98 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now this was a big week. First I had a little bit of fun and entered the holiday video contest. Decided to do it with the counter saying 1 day left and uploaded it at 4:am in fear I would not get anything entered. Later to find out after the "Days left" counter it shows hours so I could of gotten better video. Still had a lot of fun doing it. Also did a defoliation while recording the video so the start has it pre-defoliation and the end you see everything I cut out. I don't think she liked what I did because the days after she started showing yellowing, PH kept on dropping dramatically. So what did I do. I bent every single side shoot of growth!!.Supercroped. Hope she heals well.

Chow_13 Bought a second light!!! I left her growing a bit to big and got an older version( no dimmer ) of a spider farmer sf1000. So now with 2 lights I can cover the whole grow space. Day 57 - EC 0804, PH 5.63. She seems to be bouncing back quite nicely. Day 58 - EC 0972, PH 4.36. Added the last 3L of the batch I made Day 59 - EC 0846, PH 4.80. Added another L of plane tap water(ph 7.4) and also added some PH up. brought PH to 6.13. The top 2 branches are still way higher then the rest. Gonna super crop them again in a day or so. Day 60 - EC 0840, PH 5.78. Added 1L of tap water(ph 7.4. EC 0263). Decided the center 2 mainline branches were going to be way to high and instead of cutting them off I figured I would have some fun and tie them in a knot. Also removed the 2 fan leaves that were blocking the lower circle of tops. Day 61 - EC 0840, PH 5.04. Created a 9L batch of 2ml micro,2ml bloom and 3ml of grow(EC 595, PH 7.0 ). Added 4l. Canopy is looking nice. only a little lower then the 2 main stocks. Day 62 - EC 0780, PH 5.58. Added PH up. Did a bunch of defoliation in preparation to flip her at the end of this week. Removed some of the fan leaves that were not getting any light and smaller ones on the inside of the plant. I also removed all of the bud sites on all of the branches except for the top. That will give me 12 buds. 10 around and 2 top cola's. I also bought a second Spider Farmer SF1000 and added this to the tent. Day 63 - EC 0927, PH 5.8. Did a disinfect and full water change. I was told since I am not using hydroguard. I should do a disinfect flush. First drained the old water. then filled with 18L of ph 6.0 tap water. Added 50ml of H202(3%) and let it run for 2h. Drained and added 18L with 2ml calmag, 10ml micro, 10ml gro and 10ml of bloom(EC 700). PH 6.01. Grow Question pictures started a few days ago. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ She recovered nicely from the supercropping but then I started getting more PH swings. It dropped as low as 4.3 which cant be good.. The 2 main branches were still way higher then the rest of the shoots so I decided to have some fun and literally tied a knot!!! Hoping that they take a little while to heal while the rest of her catches up. Defoliated the rest of the lower bud sites in prep for flower. The last day before flower I did a full water change and disinfect with H2O2. ---------------------------------------Veg Summary---------------------------------- Grow : 60ml Micro: 52ml Bloom: 39ml CalMag : 6ml Starting Water 18L Water Added 41L 3 water changes @18L each = 54L water Total Water : 113L Water Dumped approx 54L. <-im going to hopefully keep track of this now. Had a few issues, Was worried at the start because she fell over. But she was strong and pushed on. Growth was fast once she healed, Did not do any training until week 6 where I topped her and defoliated the bottom canopy a little. Let her recover for a week and then on week 8 I removed the offshoot bud sites so I only have 12 main shoots coming out. Let her heal and supercropped her. Bent EVERY branch. She recovered nicely though. Ran into some big ph swings by the end which looks to of caused some health issues. But shes still growing strong. Just before I switch to flower I cleaned up the newer side shoots and the rest that I missed. Left only the top growth and 1-2 nodes below depending on how big the side shoot was. Lets see how flower goes!!

Chow_13 Day 64F1 - EC 0787 PH 6.01 Added a shot with a tape measure to note how much she stretches over the next couple weeks. Day 65F2 - EC 0597 PH 6.52. Added PH down to reservoir. Then added 2L of tap water with 3ml Micro, 3ml Gro and 4ml Bloom ( EC 1295 ) which brought the numbers to EC 0802, PH 5.76 Day 66F3 - EC 0561 PH 6.43. Added 6ml micro 6ml Gro and 8ml Bloom straight in the reservoir. Leveled out to EC 1010 and PH 6.15 Day 67F4 - EC 0897 PH 6.41. Added 2L batch 4ml Micro and 6ml Bloom no gro EC 1646 PH 5.0. Which settled at EC 0987 and PH 5.76 Day 68F5 - EC 0946 PH 6.24. Added PH down to bring it down to 5.8. Shes growing alot, did a second supercrop on some of the taller branches to bring them down the the same level as the rest. Day 69F6 - EC 0928 PH 5.51. Added a 4L batch 2ml Gro 2ml Micro, 8ml Bloom. (EC 0845 PH 6.57). Which settled to EC 0906 and 6.07 Day 70F7 - EC 0674 PH 5.96. She ate alot, But looking at her leaves shes clawing and has burnt tips. Im going to leave the nutrients low for today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First week of flower she did well. I smashed my phone so I had to start using an older camera. Which is why it looks like she suddenly went from dark green to yellowing green. Put in a tape measure to measure the stretch.

Chow_13 Day 71F08 - EC 0897 PH 6.04. Tied down the branches just below where the bud sites are. Day 72F09 - EC 0955 PH 5.81. Added a 4L batch 2ml Gro 2ml Micro, 8ml Bloom. EC 0942 PH 5.96. Looking nice. tops have pointed back to the lights. Canopy is looking fairly even. Getting excited!! Day 73F10 - EC 0934 PH 5.56. Added a 3L batch 2ml Gro, 2ml Micro 6ml Bloom. EC 1095 PH 6.72. Checked after 2h of circulation EC 0955 PH 5.98 Day 74F11 - EC 0934 PH 5.34 Added PH up to 6.0. new growth tips looked burnt. These lights are powerful!!! Day 75F12 - EC 1076 PH 5.38. Added a 2L batch 1ml Gro 1ml Micro 1ml Bloom.(EC 0751 PH 7.25). Checked again and levels were high again at 1028 and EC was at 6.04. Added 2L tap water PH 6.0. Raised Lights 2" since new growth is twisted. Day 76F13 - EC 0917 PH 5.68. Day 77F14 - EC0748 PH 5.76. Added a 2L batch 1ml Gro, 1ml Micro 2ml Bloom, 0.5ml calmag(EC 0927 PH 6.22 ) Raised the lights another 2" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tied her down to help even out the canopy. She perked back up quickly. The new growth leaves started twisting so I raised the lights up to 20" away from the top canopy. She just started putting out some white hair's. She has stretched about 4", Its hard to tell since I tied her down.

Chow_13 Day 78F15 EC 0874. PH 5.54. Added PH up to 6.5. Day 79F16 EC 1024. PH 5.85. Added 4L 2ml Gro, 4ml Micro , 6ml Bloom( EC 0987, PH 5.8 ) Day 80F17 EC 0975, PH 5.83. Added a small dose of PH up. Shes stretching like crazy since I raised the lights. No leaf curl looking good. Hopefully she does not stretch to much more and start burning herself again. Day 81F18 EC 1108 PH 5.52 Did a water change and drained 10L. Added 18L with 8ml Gro, 16ml Micro 24ml Bloom 2ml CalMag. Did some minor lst and evened out the canopy. New EC 1010 PH 5.8 Day 82F19 EC 0897 PH 6.06. Day 83F20 EC 0765 PH 6.15. Added 2ml Gro, 4ml Micro and 6ml Bloom. Wanted to defoliate today but didn't have the time. Day 84F21 EC 0974 PH 5.94. Added 4L batch of 3Gro 6 Micro and 9 Bloom( EC 1046 PH 5.84 ) Defoliated and tucked a bunch of leaves that were blocking bud sites. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bud sites are looking nice now, I would say she has stretched a good 6" total. Tied her down a bit more and spread her out. Once she started bending back to the light I removed some of the top fan leaves to allow light to get to the lower bud sites. I think I took a little to many off, but she still has her lower canopy to fee the bud sites.

Chow_13 Day 85F22 EC 0910 PH 6.03. Day 86F23 EC 1012 PH 5.85. She drank a lot in the last couple days, almost ran dry. Added 8L batch of 4 Gro 8 Micro and 12 Bloom( EC 1026 PH 5.96 ) Filled the reservoir to the top. Day 87F24 EC 1185 PH 6.00. Buds are starting to form!! Shes looking happy EC jumped up a bit, PH seems fairly stable. Day 88F25 EC 1102 PH 5.94. Just chugging down the water. Going to have to add more water soon. Day 89F26 EC 1018 PH 5.67. PH to 5.8 then Added 5L batch 2 Gro 6 Micro and 9 Bloom(EC 0912. PH 5.98).Shes eating and drinking well, But I still see burnt tips on new growth. So this batch is a bit weaker. Day 90F27 EC 1482 PH 5.88. EC seems to of jumped through the roof Added 1L tap water PH 7.54.. Removed some of the older low canopy leaves. a lot of them were damaged from the PH swing I had. Day 91F28 EC 1146 PH 5.90. Did a full water change. Dumped 12L. Added 13L with 6ml Gro, 12ml Micro and 18ml Bloom. 2ml calmag EC 0919 PH 5.85. Still seeing burnt tips so I am going to swap out with a lower nutrient concentration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shes been growing nicely this week. Drinking and eating lots. Bud sites are starting to fatten up and I can see trichomes starting to form on her sugar leaves. Had to do a little bit of adjusting on the tie down's to keep her as level as possible. At the end of the week I removed the lowest leaves and some of the older leaves that were at the bottom of the canopy and any leaves that had damage. Still bushy throughout the whole plant.

Chow_13 Day 92F29 - EC 0797 PH 6.42. Added 4L batch 2 Gro 6 Micro and 9 Bloom(EC 1021. PH 5.68) She ate more then she drank for the first time in a while the PH actually went up!. Brewed a stronger batch for her. Day 93F30 - EC 0746 PH 5.96. Added 5L batch 3 Gro 6 Micro and 10 Bloom( EC 0905 PH 5.95 ) Shes looking good. still not much of a smell unless you get right in there. One of her buds already has 2 red hairs. I think I might of damaged them while low stress training. Day 94F31 - EC 0978 PH 6.04. Things seem to be stabling out. Drinking and eating around EC 0900 is my guess. Decided to stagger the lights for a more even canopy cover. Day 95F32 - EC 1127 PH 5.84. Buds a re starting to fatten up. So far shes growing strong and looking good. Lowered lights by 1" Day 96F33 - EC 1208 PH 5.87. PH has stabalized but EC is just jumping. Added4L 2 Gro, 4 Micro 6 Bloom ( EC 1108 PH 5.93 ) Day 97F34 - EC 1102 PH 5.78. Everything went down today. Buds are looking nice. White hairs like crazy.Lowered lights by 1" Day 98F35 - EC 1052 PH 5.75. Added 4L 2 Gro, 4 Micro 6 Bloom ( EC 957 PH 5.98.) Exciting day. According to the breeder I'm halfway through flowering. These cola's are looking good. Stacking up underneath and really sticky. Only a minor smell when I open the tent. But getting stronger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This week I could not of asked for more.. Didn't run into any issues. Shes going through around 3L a day. I believe the ideal EC is 0950. Buds are getting fatter. Lowered the Spider Farmer lights slowly throughout the week and been keeping a close eye on the buds to make sure I am not burning them. Just realized I can do a weekly report on the temperatures and humidity. Going to start adding that to the end of each week.

Chow_13 Day 99 F36 - EC 0955 PH 6.11. Added 4L with 2ml Gro 4ml Micro 6ml Bloom ( EC 0824 PH 5.67) Buds are stacking nicely. Have a few offshoots from the main cola's, But I think they are close enough they will produce quality buds. Day 100F37 - EC 0937 PH 5.92. Shes doing great. Did some minor defoliation of the lower canopy. Mainly got rid of the smaller or sick leaves and promote air flow. Her buds are starting to get fatter. I squeezed one of the lower buds and its dense. Day 101F38 - EC 0987 PH 5.52. Added 4L with 2ml Gro 4ml Micro 6ml Bloom( EC 1076 PH 6.83 ) I must of messed up on the last top up. EC is way higher with this one. Going with a high PH to try to balance out the low PH currently in the system. Day 102F39 - EC 1243, PH 5.76. EC went way up. I thnk she didnt eat as much as usual because she is recovering from the defoliation. Added 4L no nutes( EC 0282 PH 7.13 )Still looking good. Buds are getting lots of crystals on them. Day 103F40 - EC 1282, PH 5.91. EC is still high. Also noticed one of the bud sites has a leave that is going brown on the edges. Day 104F41 - EC 1240 PH 5.96. Did a full water change. Dumped 13L. Added 12L with 10ml Micro 20ml Bloom. no Gro 2ml CalMag( EC 0870 PH 5.87 ) I believe she has a potassium deficiency. Figured since its been about 4 weeks since my last flush shes about due for another. Day 105F42 - EC 0834 PH 6.17. Added 4L with 5ml Micro 10ml Bloom ( EC 1019 PH 5.76 ) She ate a bit more then she drank so I am adding a stronger batch to her. Checked after 2h of adding EC 0963 PH 5.89, Felt this was a bit low so I added another 4ml Micro and 8ml Bloom. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start of the week she is doing great. Half way through I noticed one of her bud sites had a sick looking leaf. From what I can tell its a potassium deficiency. She most likely ate all of it over the last 4 weeks that I just did top up's. Decided its time to do a full water change. Modified the nutrient amounts by cutting out Gro completely and using just micro and bloom. Hopefully that clears it up. Buds are looking really nice. I noticed a few bud sites in the lower canopy that were not getting any light, So I tucked all the leaves around them away to open them up.

Chow_13 Day 106F43 - EC 1065 PH 6.04. Added 4L with 5ml Micro 10ml Bloom( EC 1024 PH 5.78) Not sure but I think the brown on the leaves is getting worse. Strange that this is only on one bud site. Not seen anywhere on the rest of the plant. Day 107F44 - EC 0634 PH 6.01. EC is down alot. It seems to me like EC will change througout the day. I find that lights on EC will drop down low but when the lights turn off the EC will spike up. Shes still got lots of water in the reservoir so I am going to leave it for today and see what happens. Day 108F45 - EC 0785 PH 6.08. EC seems to be fluctuating a lot. It was up at 1100 this morning( lights have been off for around 3h ) but then back to 785 which is when I usually test( around 1-2h into lights on). Day 109F46 - EC 1074 PH 5.57. EC has gone up a bit. Added 4L with 3ml Micro 6ml Bloom (EC 0789 PH 6.84 ) Getting closer to harvest so I want to lower her nutrient intake. Day 110F47 - EC 1063 PH 6.04. Everything seems to be stabilizing out. Shes back to drinking around 3L a day. Buds are looking extra juicy. Crystals are still all clear. Day 111F48 - EC 1237 PH 6.06. Checked in the morning. I didn't like how high the EC was so I dumped 8L and added 8L of PH 5.87 Tap water no nutes(EC 0342). After 6h it leveled out at 0785 PH jumped to 6.5 and I adjusted. Drained 14L added 12L of Zero filtered water (EC 0) Added way to much PH down and had to add some up to get a PH of 6.0 with an EC of 0025. Going to let it flush out for the day. Day 112F49 - Dumped 10L of the Zero Water EC went up to 0144 and she drank 2L,. Added 12L with 9ml Micro 18ml Bloom. no Gro ( EC 0808 PH 5.87 ). Can really see the fall colors coming through in the leaves now. Almost all of them have a purple in them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week was more of a healing week. EC kept on going up so I decided to do a flush.First I diluted the current mix and let it run for a couple hours then I used a zero water filter to create a 12L batch of "RO" water. I didnt realize how much 0.3ml of PH down would change the PH with everything filtered out. So I put way to much in and had to use PH up one drop at a time to get it back in range. Surprised that after all was said and done the water picked up 0125 EC. Created a new batch at 800 and going to try to keep it around that next week.

Chow_13 Day 113F50 - EC606 PH 5.84. Checked values in the morning. She ate quite a bit! Was defiantly hungry from the flush. So I added 4L with 5ml Micro 10ml Bloom (EC 0872 PH 6.04) Checked later that night and EC was at 548. Added 4ml Micro and 10ml Bloom to the reservoir. Which brought the EC up to around 0825 Day 114F51 - EC574 PH 6.10. Still just chugging the food down. Created a 4L batch with 7ml Micro 14ml Bloom( EC 1053 PH 5.57 ). This leveled out at EC 0755 with a PH of 6.06 The buds are looking really good. Lots of crystals, Almost all of the white hairs have gone brown. The buds that didn't get any light the first half of flower are now starting to darken. Day 115F52 - EC 717 PH 6.14. Everything looks to be the same as yesterday. Getting closer to the end of life so shes not eating as much. Lower buds are starting to get juicy. Hoping everything fattens up over the next couple weeks. Day 116F53 - EC 934 PH 6.21. EC went up a bit. Water level is still a little high. Gong to let it sit today and see what the numbers are tomorrow. Day 117F54 - EC 955 PH 5.86. Added 4L Tap water ( EC 0289 PH 6.02 ). Don't want to over do the nutrients, I want a nice clean smoke. Day 118F55 - EC 576 PH 5.64. Added 3ml Micro and 6ml Bloom. Also added a bit of PH up. Tested again several hours later and the readings were. EC 0738 PH 6.15. Day 119F56 - EC 757 PH 6.16. Everything is about the same from the last nutrient add. Going to see what she drinks of this and then do a water change. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week went very nicely. Had a minor high and then low with the nutrients but now I have found a nice level. trichomes are starting to get cloudy. I would say about 30% of them. Not seeing any amber ones, But she is only on day 56 of approx 70-75.

Chow_13 Day 120F57 - EC 0838 PH 5.97 Current reservoir is almost empty going to do a water change tomorrow. Ordered a cheap digital microscope to get some pics of the crystals and find out when to harvest. Day 121F58 - EC 0806 PH 5.80. Did a water change dumped 11L. Added 12L with 8ml Micro 16ml Bloom. EC 0825 PH 5.91 Day 122F59 - EC 0721 PH 6.09. Added 4L with 3ml Micro and 6ml Bloom EC 852 PH 5.84. Got some nice closeups of the buds. They look ready, but only about 40% are cloudy. Day 123F60 - EC 0700 PH 5.97. She didn't drink much yesterday. Starting to slow down with everything. Lower buds are now starting to darken. Did a little bit of supercroping to some of the low bud sites to get them away from the main stock and more into the light. Day 124F61 - EC 0710 PH 6.02. Everything is nice and steady. Last little while before harvest. Buds smell so nice, Day 125F62 - EC 0765 PH 5.33. PH is way down. Added 4L with 2ml Micro and 5ml Bloom. Didn't add any PH down to the batch so its ph was up at 7.34. Day 126F63 - EC 0748 PH 5.94. Found some buds that were covered by a main bud. I did some minor LST/Supercropping to bend the bud out of the way so they get more light. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another good week. Everything is slowing down and the smell is getting strong!!! Buds are dense. Glad I purchased a second Spiderfarmer SF1000. They completely cover the canopy with high light output. Bought a digital microscope to get some pictures of the crystals and see when it is best to harvest. I think the end of next week will be harvest day.

Chow_13 Day 127F64 - EC 0744 PH 5.86. I think this will be the last week. Shes slowed down to only drinking around 2L a day. EC seems to be at a good spot. not going up and not going down. Day 128F65 - EC 0780 PH 5.96. Added 4L tap water PH 6.00. Slowly going to lower the nutrients until harvest. Day 129F66 - EC 0697 PH 5.74. Looking nice. I see some amber on the tops of the buds, Lower bud sites still have some clear though. Added a bit of PH up. Day 130F67 - EC 0676 PH 6.00. Smell is starting to get really strong. Only a couple days left until I harvest. Day 131F68 - EC 0731 PH 5.96. Not eating much at all. Starting to see a lot more amber on the tops. Day 132F69 - EC 0757 PH 5.98. Time for a flush and 36h of darkness before I chop her. Drained 11L and added 12L tap water PH 6.0. Day 133F70 - Darkness. PH went up to 6.5 so I dropped it back down to 6.0. Added 4L tap water. Going to give her a chop tomorrow night. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This week was slow. Not much of anything but watching the trichomes. From what I can see the top part of the buds were at around 20% amber and the lower parts were at around 10%. ---------------------------------------Flower Summary---------------------------------- Grow : 60ml Micro: 179 ml Bloom: 318ml CalMag : 6.5ml Water Added 211L Water Dumped : 89L Flowering started really well. Had a nice even canopy from super cropping. Had to tie down the branches and super crop a bit to keep it even. Getting the second Spider Farmer SF1000 light made a huge difference. I was able to spread her out a lot more and get more light on the bud sites. Found a few lower bud sites late into flower and tried my best to give them light. If I had seen them earlier I would of most likely chopped them off so she would focus more on the main cola. Mid flower had a potassium deficiency. I believe it was from nutrient lockout by not changing the water enough. But with the help of the community I turned her around and she ripened nicely. I am so happy I made it to harvest!!!!!! Happy growing everyone 😃

Chow_13 Day 135 H1 - HARVEST!!!!!!!!!! Drained 14L. Chopped her down and trimmed off all of the fan leaves. Wet weight 1312 Day 137 H3 - Trimmed the rest of the smaller fan leaves and removed the tips of the larger sugar leaves that had very little crystals on the end. Day 140 H5 - Removed the rest of the sugar leaves. Hung back up to continue to dry. Day 141 H6 - Weighed in at 304g. Stems still have some moisture in them. The outside of the buds are dry, So I put them into a sealed 18L bucket for 12h to let the moisture levels even out a bit and then hung them back up Day 143 H8 - Last Day of Harvest. Cut the buds down to fit into jars. Placed jars in a dark location and will burp once daily for 2 weeks. Total Nutrients Used Grow : 120 ml Micro: 231 ml Bloom: 347 ml CalMag : 12.5 ml Water Drank: 127 L Water Dumped: 143 L Total Water Used: 270 L Veg Days 64 Flower Days 70 Total 134 Days ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This grow was a lot of fun. I had a few issues along the way, but overall it went a lot better then I expected. I would say the hardest part was trying to figure out if the plant was eating more then I was feeding or drinking more. Its a tough balance and I think I went a little to heavy with the nutrients. Still the buds turned out way better then I was expecting. The best tip I would say would be "Remove all lower bud sites before you switch to flower". On day 50 I did this, and cleaned up the ones I missed 2 days before flower. I didn't get a single popcorn bud! There were a few spots I missed, but overall I am super happy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you GrowDiaries and Fastbuds for the Newbie of the month prize. The bud was enough of a reward for my first grow, This was just icing on the cake. Thanks everyone who was following and helping me along the way.
