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.

11/17: I fed today but didn't have time for much of a photo session. Gave them One, Signal, Sweet & Sticky, Cha Ching, and started them on LiquidSoil. 11/19: One of them is crazy dense and colorful. The other is less dense, but smells friggin amazing and made more flowers. That one is foxtailing a little bit and showing no signs of being ready yet, but the dense one is probably a week from finished.

This is more of an equipment gathering project-first grow so I want to keep it simple and budget friendly, I ordered autos for my first grow but Oregon Elite Seeds sent a free gorilla Girl from Sweet Seeds. Super psyched for my first grow! Day1. Soaked seeds for 4 hours in bottled water, used paper towel method with 100% sprouts within 18 hours inside dark tent at 80 degrees (heater and air purifier) and 40% humidity. Hoping to plant directly into prepared soil (6.9 ph currently) in 24 hours. Day 2. Planted Critical OG Kush and Blackberry Autos 1/4 directly into 8 gallon cloth pots (these are the wrong pots-they are wax lined but the pandemic made getting the aeration pots unavailable-I may have to transfer later). Very lightly watered. i prepared my soil mix and had it acclamated to the grow room. I opened the air vents at each end of the grow room and set heat to 78, placed a bowl of water for humidity and started oscillating fan for airflow. Planted Gorilla Girl in a tupperware dish till i can get something more suitable. I really need another light but shipping just isn't working out. Day 4: 1 OG Critical was culled do to lack of progress. Gorilla Girl hs been repotted and looks fine. The Blackberry are much leggier than the others at this point. I'm watering just enough to get to the roots with bottled spring water. Day5 : the girls just woke up-posted pics. 1 light and 6 plants is not ideal. I'm not sure if I should put the strain that is naturally shorter under the light directly or focus on the tall ones getting enough light to not stretch. Comments appreciated. Day 6: Ligthts off after a 20 hour on cycle. I was concerned that my light insn't adequate spacially. I dropped it down to 15 inches above the seedling and got it tropical in the tent. I also used a 6500k 15 watt shop light for added light color and they enjoyed it, except for 1 had a bit of yellow. I will post photos when they wake up to see how they look after this light/heat/water boost for 20 hours. My Gorilla Girl is the only one that isn't above 2 inches. That one was planted deeper (1 inch instead of1/4th like the others. I did have some "seed helmets" so next time I will go a little over 1/4 inch deep. Qweeby's roots grew like a wad instead of down. I've had to readjust her placement twice because the roots act like they want to be on the surface. I'm excited to see them in 4 hours. I may cull one and start a different seed. The Blackberry Kush is stretchy which seems nice for a new grower like me. I am trying to limit the stretch so they match the Critical OG height but they are hearty toddlers. Day 7: Added a 3000w LED off ebay. I didn't account for the rise in heat but it only got up to 84. Raised it from 18" to 20" and got more air flowing through. One plant has a little yellowing from the inside of the main leaves (inside to out) but it's barely there so I'm going to check PH meter and easy watering since yesterday I did water more then I have thus far-so it could be a little root lock from too much water.

E passata la prima settimana e sono rimasto veramente sorpreso! Non ho mai visto una crescita così veloce è vigorosa in una autofiorente, come da regola una buona genetica alla base è tutto! Queste sono genetiche autofiorenti Veramente di alta qualità, di un altro livello! Adesso parliamo degli sviluppi e cambiamenti.... Una crescita esplosiva in ognuna di loro specialmente nella Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix che sembra essere la più alta e spessa tra tutte (per adesso), tutte stanno veramente molto bene anche perché ho preparato una tabella di nutrizione veramente molto ricca e completa, sto utilizzando tutta la linea connoiseur più tutti gli additivi e stimolatori di advanced nutrients e come sempre, devo dire che il loro lavoro si vede! Potete già vedere in soli 7 giorni una crescita esplosiva (sul substrato) di trichoderma, micelio, e batteri (si vede quando il substrato sembra umido ma in realtà è asciutto), questi sono piccoli segnali che mi fanno capire che nelle loro bottiglie ci sta un vero e proprio ecosistema! Non sto seguendo la loro tabella e neanche i loro ml, ho preparato un alimentazione in base alla mia esperienza e conoscenza, per ora è tutto alla grande ed è fantastico perché penso che le autofiorenti devono avere una germinazione perfetta per poter dare tutta la loro vigorosità nel seguito... Dopo questa partenza, night owl è entrato nel mio cuore perché non è solo una di loro ad essere più veloce e vigorosa ma sono tutte è 4 quindi parliamo che ogni incrocio che fa questo ragazzo deve essere un grande successo 😍!.... Io vi vorrei invitare a tutti a seguire la sua pagina personale Instagram così da poter vedere tutti i suoi crossing , perché sono uno più bello dell'altro! Autopot ancora non l'ho avviato ma ho acceso le pompe ad aria con AIRDOME in ogni vaso in modo che possano avere un po' di ossigeno in più le radici. Per adesso ho avviato il progetto con una lampada Mars hydro ts1000 solo perché ha un buon spettro tendente al bianco ed infatti si e rivelata un successo per la germinazione, ma tra altri 7 giorni cambierò la lampada ed installerò la lampada per il quale ho avviato questo progetto, sto parlando della fantastica EAGLE SERIES E520 di growers republic il quale sono diventato un loro tester è volevo prendermi due parole per ringraziarti tantissimo per il loro supporto e sostegno, sono delle persone fantastiche sempre pronte ad aiutare ed ascoltare il coltivatore (non tutti sono così, tipo con Mars hydro tutto questo lo puoi solo sognare...con loro ho avuto veramente una brutta esperienza infatti utilizzo le loro lampade solo per germinare i semi. Fanno led buoni per il prezzo che offrono ma onestamente il servizio clienti fa veramente piangere!) . Growers republic è una azienda che ascolta il coltivatore e ha un approccio diretto con te ed è veramente molto attenta ad ogni minimo tuo particolare, e volevo consigliare a tutti voi di andare sul loro sito a vedere i loro prodotti perché fanno veramente paura! Lampade led di prima qualità a partire dal design innovativo che si presenta abbastanza massiccio (non come il resto delle aziende che produce led plastificati), lo spettro fa veramente rabbrividire perché ha un IR potenziato è si vede tantissimo! È stata anche progettata per avere la temperatura sotto controllo è non supera i 35c di calore! Sprigiona ben più di 1400 umol/j essendo così una delle lampade più potenti che ho mai provato Potete trovare i led growers republic qui: https://growers-republic.com/ Quindi ricapitolando: Midnight Marathon F4 91 Grapes Strawberry milk and Qookies Remix Hervey Wellbanger Queste sono le genetiche che sto coltivando in questo progetto con Night owl ..... Spero che possa interessare a qualcuno di voi e spero tanto che sia stato di aiuto per qualcuno ! Grazie mille a tutti gli sponsor: Growers republic Autopot Night owl Advanced Nutrients E un grande grazie a tutti il pubblico di growdiaries che è passato di qui lasciando un like per il supporto! Grazie infinite a tutti voi 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼❤️

So today is day 11 of flower on my gopher glue from atlas seeds. This girl is a monster that I’ve barely been able to keep in check. The growth is mind blowing. I’ve had to defoliate almost every other day these past two weeks and she’s not slowing down. Going to have to move her into my 5x5 to let her have the room to finish and grow how she wants. Smell is lovely and starting to get noticeable if I open the tent. Stay tuned and wish me luck

End of week 3 - @cyco nutes seem to be working wonders, 3 plants in one pot doesn't seem to be an issue either. Very happy with the results so far :D 5/10/18 - Gave the girls a fresh water with full Cyco advanced veg scheme. Back under the lights with full fans and humidifier running. Temp 27-28 Celsius / Humidity 75-85% 6/10/18 - Ladies got a watering with the Cyco Kleanse today to flush the weeks nute waterings. They are looking very nice and green. Temp 27-28 Celsius / Humidity 75-85% - Changing tent setup a bit tomorrow to have the plants lower to the ground. Lights will also be lowered to roughly a foot from the girls :)

Here we go for another run. I was recently made aware that a seedy I had germinated was not what i thought I was, so here I am making it right with a tastebudz seed directly from their website. 😁 The strain I have chosen for this run is moon berry. Germinated in a coco coin that has been soak in water with a little bit of mycroboost from living soils. At 25 degrees and between 70-80% humidity. This run will be an organic living soils run. Coco coin has been planted straight into her final pot, which is a 5gal fabric pot. Soil is previously amended but was only used for a week. Using Biobizz light mix and worm humus along side living soils amendments and beneficials. Mulch is made up of cover crop which was chopped dropped and reseeded. Soil also has worms in. Light is marshydro led 150 watt first week running only 1 at 25% 45cm away from soil. Light have been running 20 hours a day this week now dropping to 18 while the power is upped to 50%. Only one 4” fan running atm with no extractor this week and only this seedling is in the whole 80x80cm tent. I am buzzing to get this going. Let’s get this work! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I received my Mars Hydro lights and they helped a lot. 2 TS-1000's. I supper cropped some of the 12/12 from seed and it looks like something trampled through the garden. Lol. The rest are really stretching now. I hope I the larger ones don't get rootbound. 🤞😁😁😁
