Done some LST, maybe too much lol ( I’m still learning). Topped all 4 successfully . Finally feel like I’m getting some where I have learned a hell of a lot just from these few weeks. This is the first time I’ve ever done any type of training in a strain and photoperiods so I’d rather focus on learning than just yeild.

In woche 5 in flow is mir ein kleines missgeschick passiert. Habe leider einen spritzer pk 5-8 zu meinem gießwasser dazu gegeben. Ec werte und ph waren perfekt. Nur habe ich einen eisen oder magnesium überschuss verursacht. Pflanzen wurden ectrem dunkel und die neuen kleinen blätter in den buds haben sich nach unten gegreuselt. Aber gefahr erkannt gefahr geband. Habe heute das aller erstemal pk13-14 zum bio gießwasser dazu gegeben. Ec usw.. perfekt. Bin aber gespannt was ich diesesmal weedr falsch gemacht habe.👌😋😁😅😅🙈 Die saubersten und vitalsten stecklinge findet ihr wie immer bei ROOTS-FARMS. The best in austria and maybe europe

Day 74 and there getting chopped today! I thought the harvest was going to be broken into two separate weeks considering the times on the Choco was listed about 7-10 days sooner then the DD (wich was listed at 70 days for flowering) However looking at the tricombs on the Chocolate Marshmallow most pheno didnt start getting amber untill the DDs did as well! A couple DD pheno could have maybe gone a couple more days but we will see! Going for reveg on all the pheno, since i didnt get to take any clones. We will see how it goes!

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

09/06/2018 She has grow a little😀 bit,going to 1/2 strength nutes in res change today. Can't believe how thick her stem is! Had slight leaf tip burn from ferts but not enough to be concerned about. Started week with 9 liters in DWC bucket. Will top as needed with plain water. . Note: remember rinse hydroton! 09/10/2018 Getting nice growth this week,a little more leaf tip burn,but not excessive amount,also I topped her today I believe that I will go to 3/4strength next change and full strength for flowering.which is when I bring red spectrum up to 100%.

Schönes Wetter, warme Temperaturen und noch nicht so kalte Nächte... kein schimmel ,Blüten wachsen und haben gut trichome gebildet. Habe bei der critical supercropping betrieben, um zu vergleichen, sie hat sich erholt und die buds haben sich an den geknickten Zweigen ausgerichtet. Es läuft nach wie vor ziemlich gut. Bis nächste Woche ✌️

🌱 Woche - Week 8 Review (Umtopfen in den Garten)(Repotting in the garden) 📈 Wachstum: Diese Woche der große Umzug – die Pflanze wurde in den Garten verpflanzt 🌱➡️🏡. Sie hat dort mehr Platz für die Wurzeln. Wächst etwas schräg, wirkt aber stabil und vital 💪. 💡 Licht & Energie: Volle Sonne wird sehr gut angenommen ☀️, keinerlei Stress sichtbar. 🌿 Blattgesundheit: Nach kurzer Eingewöhnung zeigt sie wieder volle Kraft. 💧 Wasser & Nährstoffe: Direkt nach dem Umpflanzen mehr Wasser benötigt, jetzt wieder im Gleichgewicht. 🔄 Entwicklung: Noch volle Wachstumsphase, jetzt mit mehr Raum zur Entfaltung. ℹ️ Hinweis: Normalerweise ist eine Gorilla Zkittlez Auto nach etwa 75 Tagen fertig. Bei mir dauert es wohl länger – aber das ist völlig okay, da es meine allererste Pflanze überhaupt ist 🌱. Keine Growbox, kein Indoor, einfach draußen – mein erstes richtiges Grow-Erlebnis. ✅ Fazit: Erfolgreich im Garten angekommen, bereit für die nächste Phase 🚀. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📏 Growth: Big step this week – transplanted into the garden 🌱➡️🏡. More space for the roots now. Growing a bit tilted, but still strong and healthy 💪. 💡 Light & Energy: Full sun is well received ☀️, no stress signs. 🌿 Leaf Health: After a short adjustment, vitality came back. 💧 Water & Nutrients: Needed extra water right after transplant, now balanced again. 🔄 Development: Still in full vegetative growth, with more space to expand. ℹ️ Note: Normally a Gorilla Zkittlez Auto finishes in about 75 days. For me, it will probably take longer – but that’s fine, since this is my very first plant ever 🌱. No grow box, no indoor, just outside – my first real grow experience. ✅ Overall: Successfully settled in the garden, ready for the next stage 🚀.

Lots of hairs this week had a bit of an airline issue on the airstones I fixed it and the leaves stopped curling downward so they are looking alot better did my usual weekly feeding 6 oz of each remo nutes and ph water 5.8 added as well cannazyne for the breakdown of old dead roots helps keep things clean and productive lots of hairs and new top development through each plant right plant started getting some yellow leaves I defoliated then and will continue to monitor for any issues but also going to re defoliate and take out those bottom useless larfe nugs

It was a great nine week flower, there were no issues during growth and was solid all around. The Spliff genetics is great with there signature colas.. the plants took to the nutrients very well, I thought I was running a little high on my ppm on beginning of grower but it all leveled out and nothing burned the leaves or bugs. I used general hydroponics flora pro series, with fish sh!t all the way threw!!!

24/09 - D17 since pistills. Busy day today. Full res change, with nutes modified to transition to bloom for the next couple of days before I bump her to full dose bloom 3 weeks from pistills showing. Also did some heavy defoliation. Started chopping with the intent of taking a few, but concerns around humidty levels have been in the back of my mind for awhile and given I was all geared up in the tent anyway I went to town. Removed a couple of weaker branches that were interfering with other sites, and took a large amount of lengthy and inward facing leaves. Walked away and came back and the difference was quite shocking (first grow!), but she looks better for it. Flowers are now exposed to light, and areas where moisture can get trapped have been dramatically reduced if not eliminated. Hopefully she responds well to her new haircut. Also came across my guard spider while sweeping out some leaves that fell behind the res, not sure what hes eating in there, maybe he just likes the smell! EC: 1.27, PH 5.8. 25/09 - Managed to get humidity down to 55 after the defoiation and leaving the door of the tent open. She seems to be happy after her haircut. PH dropping slowly at 5.7, EC stable at 1.27, water dropping. 26/09 - Small spot of PM on one sugar and one fan leaf. Wiped clean with a wet tissue and trimmed off. Will spray with diluted milk mixture at lights out and keep my eyes open for further infection. Modified setup a bit to try and bring the humidty down further and increase air flow, but struggling to get it below 55% even with a humidifer in the tent and the fan ramped up to max. Going to do a res change with full bloom nutes tomorrow so as not to prolong this grow longer than needs be. 27/09 - Full Res change to bloom nutes. 35ml Micr, 6ml Grow, 45ml Bloom. No new spots of PM seen, continuing with minor trimming when I spot any touching leaves as a preventative. RH finally pulled down into the 40's, and then my fan broke. Time to buy a new one. 28/09 - PH stable at 5.8, EC at 1.27. Going to try and leave well alone from this point forward unless issues arise or I see damp spots forming. Humidty finally down to 40%. 29/09 - PH and EC dropping. Topped off res with 8l of water at 50%. 13ml Micro, 3ml Grow, 20ml Bloom. PH 6.0, EC 1.3ish. 30/09 - PH 5.8, EC 1.17. Continuing to trim a couple of leaves here and there when I spot an overlap or blockage and pinch off tiny bud shoots below the canopy.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la séptima semana de floracion de estas Lemonpaya feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores empezaron a formarse y progresan a buen ritmo. No entiendo que a sucedido , uno de los 2 ejemplares tiene un bloqueo severo de nutrientes, estoy controlando el Ph correctamente y la alimentación ración pues corte a ver si vuelve a reestructurarse. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
