Pink Cookies or Cake!

Root soak with liquid kelp and humic acid. Will Foliar spray once a week with fulvic, kelp and yucca. Following VPD for early veg where leaf temp is 2 degrees cooler than room temp.😇. Waiting for roots to poke thru the pots before transplant to larger pots.. Keeping RH no more than 60% to help with calcium uptake. Week 1 in Veg ran Dec 27th to Jan 2nd/2021.

Growing Babies! I've decided to use a feed, water, water, feed routine and use Silica on 1 of the water days. 2nd week of Veg I sprayed with the synthetic cytokinin kinetin.

Today Jan 14/2021 is 19 Days in Vegetative Growth. I have procrastinated as usual so I must plant them in larger pots today. Finally got them planted in 3.9 Gal pots, reusing my soilless medium 50% with new medium. Used rain water EC 0.3, PH 5.9, Temp 22C .

Working on expanding the room in order to save on electricity. Previously had 2 separate rooms. Removing the wall between, which will allow me to share the space but use only 1 mini split or air conditioner and dehumidifier and or humidifiers. This is the plan, will see if it works as plants get larger.😕 Topped one plant today(Jan 23) and fimmed the rest Jan 20th, will continue to defoliate, seems like I should always do more of it than I do. Plants are ranging from 10 - 12" tall on Day 28 Veg. Sprayed once a week with fulvic, kelp, yucca. Using RO water and adding a little well water to bring EC up 50-100 for buffering. Once all was added EC was 1.6 and I ran out of RO water😵 I hope I don't get too much damage.

Today Jan 26th I took the first Brix reading of this grow😞. The plants look healthy to me, not too green, the leaves look like their "flying" and they seem to be comfortable in their pots. I thought the Brix would be higher. 2 Plants at 4 Brix, 9 Plants at 5, 1 Plant at 6 Brix. Jan 26th Sprayed with fulvic, kelp and yucca after Brix was taken. Jan 27 Day 32 - Watered with silicate, humic, kelp, B vitamin. PH 6.0, EC 0.6, Temp 20

Took down the wall this week,, drywall dust is a drag even though I covered plants with a sheet. Trying to improve the Brix by balancing the nutrients and providing bio-stimulants ( humic, fulvic acids , protein hydrolysates, peptides) to help the plants uptake the nutrients. Both by root soak and foliar spray. Jan 31st is the First Day of Week 6 or Day 36 in Veg. Will Brix tonight & update when lights come on. A reverse osmosis system should be installed today which will be able to supply the quantity of water needed.. Watered last night PH 6.0, EC 1.1, Temp 20, I wasn't able to "temper" or dilute with more water😣 Runoff was high PH 5.7, EC 1.9, Temp 22. Running VPD where leaf temp is 4 degrees cooler than room temp. 7 Plants had no change Brix of 5 3 Plants went up 1 point to Brix of 6 1 Plant went up 1 point to Brix of 7 1 Plant went up 2 points to Brix of 8 Today Sat Feb 6th is 42 Days in Veg,,, Watered today PH 6.0, EC 1.4 Temp 22 Runoff = PH 5.8, EC 1.6 Temp 22 6 Plants @ 5 Brix 4 Plants @ 6 Brix 1 Plant @ 7 Brix 1 Plant @ 9 Brix Plants are emitting a skunky smell when touched, pruned or crushed😀

Today Feb 9th switch to 12/12. Watered today with RO water EC buffered to 0.1. Input = PH 6.0 EC 0.9 Temp 24, Runoff = PH 5.8 EC 1.6 Temp 21. Haven't found the "sweet" spot yet in regard to feeding. From Homegrown Hydroponics: If PH goes down while EC goes up the plants are putting nutes into water rather than taking them up! OH Boy If PH goes up while EC goes down; plants are taking up nutrients = slightly increase nutrients If PH and EC remain stable ; plants are taking up equal amounts of water and nutrients this is great and a goal😐 Grow room is lovely and I'm grateful . Best wishes to all plant lovers😇 Document, document, document...Thanks Grow Diaries👏 you make record keeping easy! My memory is deficient! Feb 12- Day 4 Bloom Feed: Starting untreated RO water = EC 0.0 , PH 6.7 Temp 22, Water buffered with well water & PH'd to EC 0.1 PH 6.2 60 L or 15 gallons Amino Acid .25t gal Cal-Mend 2.5ml/L after Adding EC 0.9 Phosphorous .50t gal EC 1.2 Potassium .06t gal EC 1.3 Organi-Grow 2ml/L EC 1.8 Kelp 2ml/L EC 2.0 Diamond 1.5ml/L EC 2.0 Bloom Stacker 2ml/L EC 2.1 PH'd to 6.2 Added 15L of RO water to 1.7 EC then added: Omina A .25 t gal EC 1.8 Humic Acid .25t gal EC 1.8 Yucca .12t gal EC 1.8 Full up .12t gal EC 1.8 Bloom Microbes .50t gal EC 1.8 Inputs = PH 6.2 EC 1.8 Temp 21 Run off = PH 5.8 EC 1.9 Temp 23 Will update with Brix readings.

Today Feb 17 the plants are 53 Days Old and Day 9 in Bloom. Ran out of Grow Food. Input PH 6.2 EC 1.3 Temp 22 Runoff PH 5.5 EC 1.9 Temp 23 I guess I'm still feeding too much re Runoff so will cut back, Pinching & holding down some branches. Room is running a bit hotter now that CO2 is around 1200. Leaf Temp is 26 or 27 😵 I think it will be OK with higher CO2. Don't see any "white or bleached" areas. Watching and waiting. So far first week in stretch = 5" growth Feb 20th Day 12 of Flower & Day 56 - Noticed some leaf tips have slightly yellow tips = over fertilization. Gave 7L of PH 6.0, EC 0.1 Temp 21 RO Water per plant. Watered contained 60ml Pro-Silicate and a little yucca. Runoff: Pot 1 EC 1.8 PH 5.6 Pot 2 EC 0.8 PH 5.8 Pot 3 EC 1.0 PH 5.7 Pot 4 EC 1.1 PH 5.6 Pot 5 EC 0.9 PH 5.8 Pot 6 EC 1.2 PH 5.7 Pot 7 EC 0.9 PH 5.8 Pot 8 ECC 0.8 PH 5.9 Pot 9 EC 1.3 PH 5.7 Pot 10 EC 0.8 PH 5.8 Pot 11 EC 1.2 PH 5.7 Pot 12 EC 1.2 PH 5.9 Feb 21 - Day 13 Flower Brix Readings: Plant 1=5 fuzzy soft, Plant 2=6, Plant 3=6 Plant 4=5, Plant 5=6, Plant 6=6, Plant 7=5 fuzzy soft, Plant 8=5, Plant 9 =5 fuzzy, soft, Plant 10=6, Plant 11=5, Plant 12=6 fuzzy soft.

Feb 24/2021 - Was the 16th Day of Flower and Day 60. Room has been running well, smallest plant is 18", most are 38", 3 are 42" high. Pistils are white, pom poms are coming on strong. Plants have a nice skunky smell when brushed or defoliated. I really like the lights on the track, the plants respond well to the moving light. First week giving Bloom Food. Decided to go with an A & B formula instead of an all-in-one. RO Water Buffered with Well Water to 100 ---EC 1.5 PH 6.1 Input Runoff: Pot 1 EC 1.9 PH 5.5 Temp 22 Pot 2 EC 1.8 PH 5.7 Temp 22 Pot 3 EC 2.0 PH 5.4 Temp 22 Pot 4 EC 1.4 PH 5.3 Temp 21 Pot 5 EC 1.7 PH 6.3 Temp 21 Pot 6 EC 1.9 PH 5.5 Temp 22 Pot 7 EC 2.0 PH 5.5 Temp 22 Pot 8 EC 1.7 PH 5.6 Temp 22 Pot 9 EC 2.1 PH 5.6 Temp 22 Pot 10 EC 2.0 PH 5.4 Temp 22 Pot 11 EC 1.7 PH 6.0 Temp 21 Pot 12 EC 1.7 PH 5.5 Temp 22 /; Feb 26 Watered with Pro-Silicate Feb 28 - Day 20 Bloom Day 64 Watered RO Buffered Input = EC 2.0 PH 6.1 Temp 21 Runoff = Pot 1 EC 2.2 PH 5.2 Temp 23 Pot 2 EC 1.9 PH 5.6 Temp 22 Pot 3 EC 1.9 PH 5.6 Temp 22 Pot 4 EC 2.0 PH 2.0 Temp 22 Pot 5 EC 1.7 PH 5.5 Temp 22 Pot 6 EC 2.1 PH 5.4 Temp 22 Pot 7 EC 2.2 PH 5.2 Temp 22 Pot 8 EC 1.6 PH 5.4 Temp 22 Pot 9 EC 2.1 PH 5.3 Temp 23 Pot 10 EC 2.2 PH 5.5 Temp 22 Pot 11 EC 2.0 PH 5.5 Temp 23 Pot 12 EC 2.2 PH 5.5 Temp 22 March 1, 2021 - 21 Days Bloom 65 Days Old Brix Readings:😕 Pot 1=4 down 1 Brix, Pot 2=6 (soft/fuzzy) no change, Pot 3=5 (soft) down 1 Brix, Pot 4=5 Brix -no change, Pot 5=6 no change, Pot 6=6 no change, Pot 7=4 (soft), down 1 Brix, Pot 8=5 (sharp) no change, Pot 9=5 (sharp) only change from fuzzy to sharp, Pot 10=7 (sharp) Up 1 Brix, Pot 11=4 down 1 Brix, Pot 12=6 (soft) no change. A Sharp dividing Line indicates calcium def. A fuzzy, soft or hazy line indicates mineral density and correct calcium levels as well as a good shelf life.

March 2nd was first day of Week 4 -Watered with Silica, Humic, Kelp, Sweet Raw Botanicare at 1 ml L which is 1.5% magnesium & 2% sulphur. Plants are getting watered every 2 days, (Feed, Silica, Water) kinda schedule. Will give the girls with the sharp lines on the refractometer a little boost of calcium and see how this softens the line. Have to either put up netting, or strings from ceiling to hold these up in the near future😆. March 5 - Watered RO Water 6 L each until run off Inputs = PH 6.2, EC 2.1, Temp 21 Runoff: Pot 1 = EC 2.5, PH 5.5 Temp 22 Pot 2 = EC 2.3, PH 5.7 Temp 22 Pot 3 = EC 2.8, PH 5.4, Temp 22 Pot 4 = EC 2.5, PH 6.0, Temp 21 Pot 5 = EC 2.3, PH 5.7, Temp 22 Pot 6 = EC 2.6, PH 5.5 Temp 22 Pot 7 = EC 1.8, PH 5.7, Temp 22 Pot 8 = EC 1.8, PH 5.8, Temp 21 Pot 9 = EC 2.4, PH 5.4, Temp 23 Pot 10 = EC 2.5, PH 5.6, Temp 22 Pot 11 = EC 2.3, PH 5.9, Temp 22 Pot 12 = EC 2.6, PH 5.8, Temp 21 March 7th - 27 Days In Bloom Took Brix from top of canopy...Finally mostly moving in the right direction Pot 1 Brix 6 fuzzy up 2, Pot 2 Brix 10 fuzzy up 4, Pot 3 Brix 5 Fuzzy no change, Pot 4 Brix 6 Fuzzy up 1, Pot 5 Brix 5 Down 1, Pot 6 Brix 8 up 2 Yellowy, Pot 7 Brix 7 Fuzzy yellow up 3, Pot 8 Brix 5 Hard no change, Pot 9 Brix 10 Yellowy green up 5, Pot 10 Brix 7 Fuzzy no change, Pot 11 Brix 9 Soft up 5, Pot 12 Brix 6 Fuzzy no change.

March 9, 2021 = First day of Week 5, Plants are 29 Days In Flower and 73 Days Old. Watered today and Runoff was too high on some so I kept adding until EC came down, It took quite a bit of water. Usually They are quite light when I water on the third day. Osmotic stress I guess is good for creating trichomes. The buds are showing frost which makes me smile. These are the healthiest plants I've grown. Input: RO Water PH 6.1 EC 1.5 Temp 21 Runoffs: Pot 1 EC 2.1 PH 5.7 Temp 20 Pot 2 EC 2.0 PH 5.6 Temp 20 Pot 3 EC 2.4 PH 5.6 Temp 20 Pot 4 EC 2.0 PH 6.1 Temp 20 Pot 5 EC 2.4 PH 6.0 Temp 21 Pot 6 EC 1.8 PH 5.8 Temp 21 Pot 7 EC 1.8 PH 6.0 Temp 20 Pot 8 EC 2.1 PH 5.6 Temp 20 Pot 9 EC 2.1 PH 5.7 Temp 20 Pot 10 EC 1.8 PH 6.1 Temp 20 Pot 11 EC 2.1 PH 5.9 Temp 20 Pot 12 EC 2.1 PH 5.4 Temp 21 After watering I sprinkle the surface with Diatomaceous Earth. March 11 - Feed day, Waited 3 days between watering and plants were very light with no signs of wilting. Runoffs were higher than I'd like, will water more often.

March 17/2021- Is 2nd Day of Week 6 in Bloom -- 37 Days In Bloom - 81 Days Old -- Inputs: EC 1.8 PH 6.1 Temp 20 Runoffs: Pot 1 EC 2.2 PH 5.7 Temp 21, Pot 2 EC 2.3 PH 5.4 Temp 20, Pot 3 EC 2.1 PH 6.1 Temp 21, Pot 4 EC 1.9, PH 6.0 Temp 21, Pot 6 EC 2.1 PH 5.9 Temp 21, Pot 7 EC 2.2 PH 5.8, Temp 21, Pot 8 EC 2.0, PH 5.8, Temp 20, Pot 9 EC 2.1 PH 5.7 Temp 21, Pot 10 EC 2.4, PH 5.9, Temp 20, Pot 11 EC 2.0 PH 5.9 Temp 20, Pot 12 EC 2.2 PH 5.8 Temp 21.

Watering every other day, using left over RO water from last feed with a little more phosphorous and potassium. and cal mag and fulvic and molasses added... EC 1.5 PH 6.2 Temp 20. Runoff was within 500 ppm higher than input (yikes). (still going for same input & runoff😒); its a dam goal ! These last couple of weeks seem to take forever. Praying to the ganga gods😇 that it finishes OK. March 29/2021 Brix is increasing, highest brix is 14 on 2 plants, brix of 10 on 5 plants, Brix of 9 on 3 plants, Brix of 8 on 1 plant, Brix of 7 on 1 plant.

April 4th 2021 is Day 55 in Flower, Niagara's Own Seed says their Wedding Cake takes 50 -55 Days. These seeds are great 5 beans for $35 or $40 Canadian. Can't beat the quality and the price! Wish some seed company on here would offer such great prices! Trichomes are mostly milky viewed with a 60X loop. Plants are sticky and smelly. Buds are dense not an airy fluffy bud in sight😍. This is the frostiest bud I've grown to date I think. Some pistils are still white and sticking up straight while others look they are curling in. Since I didn't put up netting or bamboo stakes the branches aren't holding the bud weight so supporting with rope from ceiling hook works OK.

April 10 /2021- Is 61 Days In Flower Week 9 In Flower. Flushing this week. Trichomes are cloudy and a few amber. The chop will be soon! Hope this run will provide lots and lots of medicinal qualities😎. They are sticky with some frost. Thanks for taking a look. Hope that maybe some info in Diary may help a grower along the way. I'm learning as I grow and growing as I learn. Plants are developing better with each run. Thanks😀

2nd week flushing, watching trichomes with a 60X loupe waiting for a few amber. One plant was chopped last night and hung...patiently waiting for the others😑 Well I decided to take Roberts suggestion and try 2 days of total darkness (thanks) before chopping down the rest. Removed the fan leaves and chopped the ladies down 😇hung them to dry in a dark room with indirect air movement. RH 55% at 20C for 3 days then RH 50% at 18C for a couple of weeks, then mason jars and then lastly 62%Boveda. Will update with dry weight and smoke report😎 Thanks for your comments and suggestions

I felt that I should of provided nutrition more frequently than I did and I probably stopped nutrition earlier than I should but they had a good watering of only PH'd RO water at the end. Trichomes were cloudy with a few amber. 5.83 Ounces per plant was the yield😎 10 Day Cure Smoke Report - Fingers stick together as you break open buds and the smell erupts from the rolling tray. Pleasant, skunky and earthy, sweet and peppery on exhale. Melts away tension; arthritic joints are soothed and quieted. Mellow and uplifting with mindful introspection. Immediately thinking of tasks or projects. No rapid heart beat, no paranoia, no dry mouth. 2nd Puff felt like a cozy blanket😍
