Skywalker putting on tons of frost and seems to be happy with the status quo so no more compost teas for her. Starting to have a distinct Kush scent filling the tent now. In the future I’d probably LST this from the start to increase yields but other than some defoliation throughout, I haven’t done any training which has been nice. Blueberry impressed me with the size of the buds starting to form. Signs of frost for sure. Not very aromatic yet at this point. Stem rub is a different story. She has been showing some signs of calcium/mag deficiency in some of the leaves which seemed to improve with top dressing/Recharge. Been drinking a steady liter minimum daily Glueberry OG continues to explode in growth. I’ve done quite a bit of defoliation to keep tops exposed and it has bounced back quick each time. I can see why this would be a fun strain outdoors, as it is slowly taking up a solid 4 square ft of the tent. I may end up finishing this outdoors depending on its desire to consume the canopy space. Due to the longer flower period, I’ll keep up with compost teas to support all that growth. So far, it seems to be working Week ended 7/20

######################################### HARVEST (Day 110 / December 21) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x4 because of heater and dehumidification but each plant averaged a 2x3 canopy. Each plant had a dedicated light, Sage 2 used the HLG 300 V2 Rspec and Sage 3 used the CMH 315. It's not an accurate comparison of lights because there was some overlap but I'm just utilizing my resources the best I can for this dedicated autoflower tent. The plants were grown in hydroponics using a custom two-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Sage #3 had an issue just after stretch, and I think I burnt it a bit when the CMH was at 22". I also experimented with a single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7 and turned out surprisingly well - see the results below. It's always fun to see the two contrasting phenotypes side by side. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- From day 106 to day 110, I just stopped feeding and let the ppms run down. No dark period and no flush. On day 110 they were chopped. I probably could have let them go a bit longer, but my concerns were growing with Sage 3 and the sugar leaves being brittle and flacking off onto lower buds promoting bud rot. The smell of this flower on the plant was funk and was hard to control the funk... even with a carbon filter. Trichomes are slightly amber, mostly milky overall. I'm convinced hydroponics can add a couple of weeks of veg time to the run compared to coco/soil. Cutting the Scrog net was required. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- The plants were dried in a 3x3 tent, so I had to cut the plants in 1/4 sections to fit in the 3x3 drying tent for a slow dry. Branches were hung to dry on burlap twine in a tent in complete darkness, branches upside down. The temps were dialed in at 60F by pointing AC at the intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. Ambient RH in my house is 30% due to winter so I had to use two humidifiers and an Inkbird controller to add humidity to the room and block the humidity streams from hitting plants directly. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 8, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. I pulled the branches to trim as they were ready around starting around day 12. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- I trimmed each branch as it was ready but there were times when I pulled more than I could trim without being interrupted so a few branches did overdry on my trim table due to the low ambient RH due to winter. Very few fan leaves on branches, so most trim was all sugar leaves. I went tight with trim to ensure a better flower product and more supply for edible totaling in over 11 ounces of trim product. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and boveda/boost 8gr humidity pack. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. I started by burping once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange. Because the flower product was already at almost 62% when packaged in jars, quite the contrast from drying in summer conditions, I only needed to burp once per day and mold really wasn't much of an issue due to low humidity in winter. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 10 day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 301g (10.75oz) Sage 3: 377g (13.46oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 670g (23.93oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 204g Sage 3: 135g ---------------------------------------- Total: 327g (11.67oz) **I went tight on the trim for better flower product and sufficient supply for edibles, and is calculated in overall yield. ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Flower: 678g (24.21oz) Trim: 327g (11.68oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 1005g (35.89oz) (2.24lb) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 1005g / 12 sqft (3x4 canopy) = 83.75g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 615 Watts / 12 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 51.25 watts per sqft. 1005g / 615 watts = 1.63 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- On day 10 of cure, I tested the flower and passed some to a few friends for their input. Feedback was positive. One little bud was given to a friend and he reported it stunk his entire car. Sticky, trichome-covered fire! Smoke is smooth, no cough. White ash. The 60/40 (sativa/indica) is a blend that is on point. Sage Scout definitely is a heavy hitter; upwards of 3.5 hour noticeable head/body change with no couchlock at the end. In regards to flavor and smell, it's not fully there yet on only day 10 of cure. The flavors/scents are still muted but I expect the flavours to prevail after 6-8 weeks of curing. Very funky and strong smell that bursts past the mason jar lids. Piney sweet scent. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, I only have two regrets with this run. 1. More aggressive lolipopping! I just feel if I had lolipopped more, I would have had a denser product overall. The flower product is indeed dense, and all in all, I'm happy with the result, but it's I'm adding as a reminder for the next run. I need to be more selective. 2. I slacked on the training of Sage #2 due to the hard-to-reach factor which probably affected about additional 1-2 oz of yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. I’m was very happy with Microbial Mass product in combination with Orca. Once again, I was overall happy with Advanced Coco blend for RWDC. I went with Coco product because Coco is similar to hydroponics, the AN Coco line just has added Calmag to it. I didn’t really see any issues with the AN Coco line and I like the autonomous factor of AN sensi products because my photoperiod tent takes some of my attention, so it is nice to have this autolower tent on auto-pilot for the majority of the grow. 2. When harvesting, I did find a few spots of concern in the root system, so I will definitely upgrade the pump from 250gph to a 400gph for better flow to combat that issue. 3. My experiment with a single water change when switching to bloom nutrients was a surprising result. Sage 2 (purple pheno) performed well with no deficiencies which I had trouble sorting out the deficiency on Sage 3. I continue to wonder if it was salt build-up, but it seemed to start shortly after the change to bloom nutrients so maybe it was a nitrogen/calmag issue. I may add an additional water change mid-flower (week 11) to the next run and see if it makes any difference is the same conditions happen. 4. I'll also like to move the two-site system to the front of the tent for better accessibility to train the plants. 5. I'm also looking at the floorplan of the tent and I think I can run a single system in parallel next to this two-site system and still have room for heater/dehumidifier and still keep accessibility for training. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- Night Owl genetics has performed once again in my RDWC setup. I also feel a dedicated light for each plant really helped improve the yield. If I calculate a 2x3 space for each plant, with a total of 615 watts / 12 sq ft, running at 51.25 watts per square foot is the result. In regards to gram per watt, I've calculated the result is nearly 1.63 gram per watt when using 1005g / 615 watts. My goal was a pound per plant, I was happy to exceed that goal line with autoflowers with 2.24lb total yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

I defoliated the Plant for the first time and adjusted the LST to the growth of the plant. I found the first white pistils shooting out from the plant which shows me she is ready to go into flower. Until now i am very happy with the progress, still no issues :)

very strong resin production, a heavy hitter, nighttime stuff! a real great strain, highly recommended! you can certainly smell the grape with a creamy touch! ps. one of the plants was a mutant, it was very weak, had almost no resin on it and absolutely no scent at all....but it had alot of potency and a awesome yield!

Nov.5 -we placed these girls in a paper towel and paper towel in ziplock Nov.6 - Once girls seeds showed tap root we placed the tap root down into the rockwool Nov.9 - Started DWC, put a small layer of pellets at the bottom then placed in rockwool then covered rockwool with pellets Nov.10 - Took a light away and put it in our small tent, these guys only have the one light now

Day 30. In few days i will try to do something with her, but i still dont know what ;)))) leaves are huge, they shade everything, she is lowest, so sides are very weak and underdeveloped compared to other two girls in this run , hope side branches will stretch this week some ... Mars TS1000 - Light is solid and does job. For last week output is on max . Still rotate a lot, but am happy with development. I miss more good wind inside, but i live in shared house ;)))))))))))) even really silent air system is still loud on desired speeds ... Hope next week ill send her to flower. Will top up with Worm Castings and Mycorrhizae during training in few days, when girls will be watered next time. Rhythm is good, every 3 days pots are light. 1.5 liters to each went straight in after photo shoot. Day 33. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat when lights went off. Loads of training was made today too. Day 34. Now girls are trained daily. Top shoot twisting, leaf tucking, rotation around axis , changing positions inside of tent and so on. Always wash hands before any training, it is a must. Still havent made mind, scrog or lst ... Think tomorrow will be watering day and i have to decide which way to go , i am fliping them at next watering 100%, otherwise again rush to harvest before late spring holidays ... Happy Growing !!!

Day 78 flower 54 17.04. So Leute. Die erste Main Bud liegt zum trocknen. Die anderen Grape Ape F1 .. äh explodieren gerade. Kommt mir so vor. Sind so fluffig. Sieht gut aus. Und alles wächst. Alles? Nein, nur die Knospen. Ok , das sind ca 80 % der Pflanze. 💙👏 Genießt die Photos. Ich genieße ebenfalls+ Geruch. Übrigens, 50 cm hat keine erreicht. Later: Oh ein Geschmack, EIN GESCHMACK, wie Seide legt sich der Weintraubenartige Geschmack über deinen Gaumen. Mein Kopf summt. Müde und hungrig werde ich auch... Häh ? War doch nur ein Köpfchen.. 21% THC Punkt Indica Style. 18.04. Ich glaube der Server ist in Wartung. Keine Updates mehr. Aber ist egal, denn sie schmeckt vorzüglich. 😂😂

Hi all👨‍🌾👋 Welcome to my another week update Hope everyone keeping well 🧑‍🌾 Week 5 Mar 1 - Mar 7 What a joyful grow. Both girls are almost like twins. Super healthy and strong. Girls are in pre-flower and going head to head in development. Not expecting them to grow super tall but time will show. Considering to let them grow freely and not installing scrog net. This idea may change in coming days. 2 waterings of 2.5 l on Mar 2+ foliar feeding and second in Mar 7. May take another week before first runoff experience. Continously leaves tucking. Girls are responding perfectly to feeding like also to my LST. I am very happy and excited of what's to come 😁🧑‍🌾 Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week✨🍀 Much appreciate all your likes, follows and comments. 🙏💚❤️💜 Peace and love brothers and sisters 👨‍🌾✌️💚 Stay tuned for new week update soon Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/TROPICANA-COOKIES-AUTO https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

The plant looks super beautiful, typical OG kush fat indica leaves, excellent growth pace, obviously short height, I love OG kush, last time I grew this strain it was 4 years ago, it's gonna be a beautiful plant for this 2021, she loves the spanish sun! Stay tuned everybody

**Week 8 - Third Week of Flower** Things are getting wild in the Donutz tent! After the insane stretch last week, the plants have turned the space into a full-on jungle. The start of Week 8 called for drastic measures, and the results are setting the stage for explosive bud production. **Key Updates**: - **Aggressive Defoliation**: On Day 1 of the third flower week, the plants underwent a *brutal* defoliation. Every bud site that had started to develop its own leaves was stripped of its fan leaves, allowing light to flood the canopy. Even the smallest sites now have excellent exposure, giving them the best chance to mature into chunky nugs in the coming weeks. Despite the intensity of the trim, the plants are resilient and primed to bounce back strong. - **Boosted Nutrients**: To support the plants after the stress of defoliation, I added another 5-6g of Greenhouse Feeding Bloom per plant. This ensures the soil stays nutrient-rich and gives the plants the resources they need to recover and thrive. - **Watering**: Still rocking reverse osmosis (RO) water, ensuring clean and efficient hydration without any surprises. **Observations**: - The canopy is significantly cleaner and more open, with light now reaching deeper into the lower sections. - The plants are handling the defoliation well, with no immediate signs of stress or shock. - Bud sites are already looking promising, with visible development and an even distribution across the canopy. **Looking Ahead**: The next few weeks will be all about letting the plants recover and watching the buds stack up. With improved light penetration and a fresh dose of nutrients, everything is lined up for some impressive development. The Donutz are thriving, and the Florida Gang vibes are at an all-time high — the tent is set to deliver big!

Wenn sie so weiter macht muss ich mir Gedanken um ein höheres zelt machen 😆 der strech ist heftig!!!!! Ich bin echt gespannt 💪

the waterworks come covered in some olie residue and i only did a few rinses. I think it kept the ph high for some time and i did a few more water cycles after complete setup. Everytime getting rit of more oil film. I like the bucketd rinsed the leca pepples in high ph tap water and again it took me some time to get ph down but this time no oil residue :) After a few days i felt i got ph under control so started the canna nutes schedule.

Its good growing plant,good cloning its all from 1 freebie seed!On flowering they stretching 2x maybe more im not expect it but all good.think need more Silica for plant like that for more strong stems

So far nothing to complain about buds sites are putting on some size....clone piece is holding up pretty good....hoping she get some roots this upcoming week...never really clone before

This week I made a special video tour of the grow room, hope you like it. The Euphoria (my best creation) is doing great. Feeling good, sucking huge amounts of water and increasing her buds. Next week I’ll stop with Big Bud and will start giving her some Overdrive. This means we’re almost done here. Can’t wait to try her smoke! 😋 Photos have been taken on day 114 from seed (February 19, 2018), and day 44 of flowering.

Day 8 - moved into DWC a. DWC is ready to go, with 400ppm of nutrients b. the growth we are seeing is very nice c. am still watering around the rocks a few times a day to promote root growth Day 9 - all is well a. plant is noticeably growing b. PH is sitting at 6.2, and not fluctuating - using dechlorinated water source Day 10 - she is growing a. nothing new to report b. utilizing humidity dome with small space for DWC to breathe, the humidity in my barn is a bit too low Day 11 - growth a. new leaves are forming b. one root has made it outside the basket Day 12 - roots in the pool a. we have a root in the pool! b. there will be many more to follow, the water level is just at the base of the basket Day 13 - you can depend on FastBuds a. just like clockwork, at 2 weeks there are 10+ roots reaching into the nutrient pool, FastBuds seeds ALWAYS germinate faster Day 14 - explosive growth a. roots are about 5cm into the pool, she is taking off b. love the shape of these initial leaves, the green hue is wonderful

About 60 days in now and the plants are done getting taller. Buds are starting to get bigger and everything is starting to get nice and frosty, still have a long way to go on this one I think. I just got done with a res change and filled it back up with more Cropsalt at 3.4 g/Gal Bloom A and 1.74 g/Gal Bloom B. This stuff seems great so far, PH is super stable and the plants seem to like it.

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend, it was a good week for the ladies in the 5X5, they are all starting to stack flowers and really starting to distinguish their own smells. The Bubble Runtz has the most indica dominant looking colas and smells absolutely amazing. The Sundae Driver is looking like she is gonna have the fattest colas and be the biggest producer. I am really hoping I get the red phenotype of the Red Hot Cookies, and both the Green Crack and Durban Nights are showing the most Sativa characteristics and looking great. I now have the Medic Grow Light cranked up to 100% in F1 mode and am also using the UV/IR for 30 minutes per day prior to lights out. I am running a 12/12 cycle and feeding the same mix of GH nutrients which include Silica, CalMag, MaxiBloom, and Bloom Booster, with additional food grade Hydrogen Peroxide in the reservoir to keep algea growth to a minimum. I mix one 5 gallon bucket of nutes per day and clean my reservoir once per week. My pump is set to auto feed the plants every 5 hours after lights on, and I have a gravity self draining runoff setup I built. Not much to do from here on out, just keep the reservoir clean and full, a little defoliation, and 5 minutes per day to mix a bucket of nutes.I hope they get fat in the next few weeks and then I have about 7 people lined up to help me trim, I will throw everyone two zips for the help. hoping to do the wet trim in a day. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled
