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.

12 days to full transplantable roots. Right on schedule as expected. Moved 6 of the 12 clones (1 per plant) into a new 45L Rez that I cobbled together in an evening. Just small enough to fit into the cabinet. Hopefully the roots don’t choke each other out for territory while we work to reveg, re-flower and ultimately seed em all for the new F3 line. We’ll pick the best buds from the lot for the next testing run once we see what the pheno variation looks like from the main run in the tent. It’s a process and annoyance not to be yielding bud off a grow cycle but it is what it is if you want your own signature stuff. Alls good for now. Let’s just hope that the 6 coats of paint I threw on the lid is enough to keep out the grow light penetration🤞. Shoulda used black, whatever.

This process lasted about 30 hours, allowing the seeds to absorb enough moisture to kickstart germination. Watching those little seeds swell up is always a magical moment! 🌟 Transition to Soil 🌿: After their water bath, the seeds were gently transferred to soil.

I harvested 2 apple fritters by RQS and a Durban Thai XC99 by Brothers Grimm. Huge colas, very tight and frosty. Looking forward to trying in a few weeks. These were the biggest yielders out of the run, and I anticipate around 8 zips off each of these. I'll update after they're dried and cured. Thanks for stopping by, stay safe, Merry Christmas and Blaze on!

Did another light defol, top dressed with 284,wc’s, and build a flower. I removed the trellis because I didn’t like not being able to move the girls around so I hope the silica does what it’s supposed to. The buds are starting to thicken up so stay tuned 🤞🏾

Had a little hint of root rot the other day so I’ve been adding Hydrogen peroxide. I took off a few fan leaves and increased light power 5%. Everything is going ok.

Starting off week 9 now. Pistols starting to change to amber. Buds still fattening up. Did notice some other plants starting to have a bit of a calcium deficiency as well as the center plant that's been acting up a bit. Added 1 tablespoon of gypsum to 4 out of the 5 plants. Continuing to use just rain water for now. Hopefully in a few more weeks it will be harvest time.

10. Mai Es geht weiter. Die Pflanzen haben Jetzt leider eine sehr kalte Woche hinter sich(vermutlich war es auch etwas mutig von mir bei 10 grad die Baby Boom Samen einzupflanzen😅) Ist nicht viel passiert. Habe auch keine weiteren männlichen geschlechtsteile bisher entdecken können. Kontrolliere weiterhin täglich. Es steht nun eine Sonnenreiche Woche an und ich hoffe auf guten Wachstum

Girls started to put on a little bit more weight this week. I'm going to up the nutes next Reservoir change. I'm really enjoying the way these girls are growing. Two of the girls are leaning more towards the OG Kush side whereas the third girl stinks like hell. She has an extremely strong fruity diesel smell. I can't wait to try that one. I'm glad I took clones off that girl.

Trop Cherry #8 x BeeJayz hasn’t been topped, I transplanted the girls this week from a 1 gallon pot to a 3 gallon pot. Trop Cherry was in a plastic pot but now in a fabric pot. Plants seem to be growing well.

Hey guys:) Easy week again, I just watered them, took out the leaves that fell of and killed some bugs. The bottom leaves fall of on their own now, buds start to really fatten up. It looks like the wasabi is done very soon, like a week or 2 max and the sangrias need like 3 more weeks at least.. Looking forward to the next weeks:) Just watching the buds becoming bigger by the day is really satisfying now:)

LSD is now 52 days today I did low stress training some defoliation also add a nutrients for the week. I was confused on how to stop her from getting to the light. I lost my net so on the 54th day I created a homemade net out Pipe cleaners. Wish me luck so far everything looks great 👍🏾

We chopped down the plants. Now they hang out to dry in the tent. The Trichs looked very good. Some milky, some amber, hardly any clear. Just the way I want it. The popcorn buds were rather milky. So we have more of a couchlock effect on the head buds and the maximum THC on the popcorns. I'm really looking forward to the taste💚

Day 44 repotting into a 5 gallon ( I think in the future I'll do 3 gallons in a 2x2x5 tent unless I'm only doing one or two strains then I might do two 5 gallons ) a nice amount of trimming also added the trellis net Day 46 switched it to 12/12 lights Day 48 taking a whole gallon to feed also added the bloom

День 94 Харвест 2-х елок. Самые сильные поехали сушиться после обстрижки веерных лопухов. У меня выстояли 14 недель, некоторые гроверы 20 недель выдерживают. В нижнем ярусе осталось по кусту GHS и Barneys Farm Sour Diesel. Верхние кусты слишком вытянулись. Макушки не закончили формирование, а шишла посередине уже немного наросло. Поехали ветки на 10 дней сушки в бокс с угольным фильтром Клевер M300 и канальником Era Profit 5 190 m3/h на вытяжку в работе без остановки. На этот бокс дальше планы у следующих кустов с более быстрым созреванием. Нижние уже сформировали плотные шишки и уже не газуют в светильник. Кормлю их с автополива компотом
