A step back recently: Started a final flush (2 days in), and decided to start feeding her again - thanks to some great GD input! 250 ppm at re-start and will work my way to 500ppm? She's still rockin' along - like nothing happened. She topped out at 350 ppm without tanking PH, so she is stable here. PH is now swinging down fairly quickly last 12 hours. Drained off 1/3 of reservoir and get reservoir down to 250PPM. 5 days later, major PH swings down again. Mixed another fresh reservoir. I am using Zero Water 5 gallon system, and just realized the PPM coming out was 100, and PH at 3! If I am at 100 today, that means these filters have been shot for a while, maybe since start of my PH issue. There is also interesting information about when zero water filters reach their expectancy. They put out fishy smell and otherwise. I will be watching my filters more often and taking more notes since this ZeroWater 5 gal system is really the way to go if you are only growing a plant or two. Filters are a bit spendy but when you take time, gas, convenience etc. its a no brainer (if the water coming out is zero:) - I get about 15 gallons per filter (175ppm from tap). Day 70. It’s been about a day since new res change. Steady Eddie at 250 ppm and 6.2. I’ll let her drink the bucket down a good ways if things remain stable with a drift down. I doubt it though, 5 gallon is fine for 12” autos but at 2’ she really needed 8 gal. Time to up the R&D on the cabinet! Also checked Zero Water again and filter is now putting out 200ppm of 3.0 water. New filters installed! Hope she finishes soon, the top of her canopy slowly getting cooked over the last 10 days. 8" of light distance is too little. PPFD 2000+ at the top, but leaf temps are in the upper 70's. Gotta hit a decent DLI on these lower buds - without nuking the top nugs, right?! As the week concludes, she’s in a fresh bath, at 250ppm @ 6.0 and running stable again. New water filters installed so zero water variable removed. Last serving of half+ teaspoon of GH dry KB ripening, and will reduce ppm by 25/day until I reach 10-15%. 1-2 day flush, if at all.

Plants looking great. Final week, flushing with filtered water for 7- 10 days. Plants ripening nicely, very dense colas. I noticed a spider mite outbreak last week, it has spread from one plant to the a few others, not a bad infestation, today predator mites will be released onto every plant throughout flush. Predator mites have worked great in the past. **predator mites phytoselius have been applied, hopefully they can clear up the infestation before harvest. When the plants are cut down and hung to drt any remaining mites will crawl up the stem as the plant dries. I will wrap the stem in double sided sticky tape.

All plants were thinned out a little below. Since not much light was able to reach these shoots. Now we give them a week or two before we go into bloom.

G'day, Things are going well, she's really growing now, having to adjust LST every couple of days to keep her down to fill the area. Bought all the bits to make a scrog net out of pipes and netting which will be installed in next few days. I replaced piping from transparent to black, the transparent ones were starting to grow algae, probs wouldn't cause an issue but didn't wanna take any chances. Changed the reservoir back to black with a spare lid that I had, as the white lid was solar paint I kept being blinded, was getting close to leaving the grow room with a white stick lol Upped the nutrients up to 797 at TDS 0.5. P.s I am really surprised the small plant hasn't had nutrient burn, TDS is like triple what it should be for a plant of that size! Thanks guys... 😊

5/11 - 5/17: I topped a couple shoots early in the week and have her in full LST submission..sprawling nicely.👌 I watered her once really well at the start of the week with endoboost, humic acid, silica, cal-mag, molasses, and big bloom...and a little bit of grow big. I foliar fed with boom boom spray one day, and a solution of fulvic acid, cal-mag, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and silica a few days. It rained really heavy on the night of the 15th, so I won't be watering again anytime soon. I topped another of her shoots on the 14th and about an hour later, I realized that I should have taken it as a cutting..I'll have enough soil for a few plants in 3 gallon pots, and from what everybody says, I'd be very happy with some more jars of #5. I spent all 3 seeds to grow this one plant, so I'll try rooting some clones of her soon...👈 This week I received my new portable outdoor misting fan and hoses and got it set up on a timer with just airflow while the lights are on, and once the temps reach about 95f regularly, I'll have my hose timer let 10 minutes of water every 2 hours get misted across the canopy. It should lower the "real feel" by about 25-30 degrees and increase RH considerably. Also hoping that the constant airflow will make them stronger and keep insects off of them somewhat. It will also enable me to easily give them a blow dry if it rains in late flower. But wait...that's not all....it's also gonna be very much more enjoyable for me to sit in the garden and do my thang. 👍

Will report back with a smoke report, but this thing smells incredible and budded extremely well. Didn't have much of any issues with pests. Got a BIG 4' plant from only super soil in a 5-gallon fabric pot. Tons of resin. Very impressed with these automatic genetics from Pride of the Lion Seeds... and I'll definitely be growing another one of them in the spring.

All new in this 4th week ! Thx to my friend @YYCannabis I completly changed the way to grow. 1) new pot with a new water level (10 liters just below the basket) 2) only few nutrients for now: micro, grow and calmag 3) a low EC (for now is 1 but Im ready to raise it if needed) 4) new policy about grow management based on the changes of water, EC and PH following a chart for corrective actions 5) more control on Temp and Humidity 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Lesson Learned: WATER JUST UNDER THE BASKET FOLLOW THE PLANT NEEDS. IF SHE ASKS FOOD THEN GIVE HER FOOD, BUT IF SHE DOESN'T THEN DO NOT. PAY ATTENTION TO PH, TEMP, HUMIDITY START WITH A LOW EC AND ADD NUTS ONLY IF NEEDED GET A ROOT PROTECTOR AS HYDROGUARD 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I will see how she will react to this new method and I will make correction if needed 20/04 - Added fertilizers, raised EC, lowed PH. 21/04 - Added fertilizers, raised EC, lowed PH. 22/04 - Made Defoliation and LST 23/04 - Made Defoliation and LST

I just wanted to let the people know about topping and the benefits and when I did my research there was not much for documentary purposes very great results super cropping is a must and topping to create more nodes

It’s now time to start flower. They are looking amazing and I’m going to go ahead and throw his crocs in there. I have one tent that I have not put in flower yet just for the main fact that one of my seats became a auto flower so I’m letting them run more time to let that auto flower finish and see what that becomes

Beautiful pair of phenos of Badaz og cheese very excited about what strain is gonna offer me in terms of quality buds, so excited to see what is every of this 2 phenos gonna be like, I really hope that both of them have the exact terpenes profile and the same potency! Let's keep on working! We'll the ladies have been Transplanted on February 2nd after 17 days since planted, they were very big and the pot was completely conquered by strong roots as you can see, now both of them are in their new 11l pot home let's see how they keep developing! 💛❤️💚🔝💎
