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.

Diese Sativa ist echt erstaunlich - obwohl vor 3 Wochen alle Blattränder und Spitzen durch heftige Übersalzung verbrannt wurden und unzählige Blätter ganz kaput gingen - hat die dennoch erstaunlichen Durst - meistens so 4 l pro Tag - an manchen Tagen sogar 5 l - somit bleibt noch Hoffnung auf eine leckere Ernte - noch so 4 Wochen bis dahin - Sativa halt

End of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Got them outside... A bit late this year because of the weather. Cold nights. I put a heat sink in there this year to help keep the temp up at nights. 40 gallons of water is under the table. 8 - 5 gallon containers. I'll get them out of there when the weather gets warmer at night. The plants sure look happier in the last pictures that were taken this morning. The soil is 5 gallons of Sunshine Mix #4 (70% Moss) and 5 gallons of compost out of my composters, and mixed them. When I transplanted the plants I surrounded the root balls in the Sunshine mix that has neutral ph, so the roots will grow into the compost and not get burnt by the hot soil right next to the root ball. I added another 3 gallons of Sunshine mix to do that, and to top dress and fill the pots. All the plants have about the same amount of soil in their new pots. Just rain water for now. There is lots of food for them when the roots get to the compost mix. OK. Be Cool. Chuck.

Lets start off with the Gas lantern lighting technique, this was invented in the 1800's I believe, by hemp farmers. if you give the cannabis light for 1 hour in the middle of the night, then you will keep it from going into flower. So if you leave the lights on for 12 hours, then darkness for 5.5 hours then 1 hour of light then 5.5 more hours of darkness. This will give you the growth of a 18 hour light day but you will only use 13 hours of electricity. Plants are more rested, faster growth and tighter node spacing. Overall very advantageous. It generally shortens veg by 2 weeks. the Jobes organics 4-4-4 is 17g per gallon, Above measurement system would not allow this. Will start LST and FIMing once plants have settled from transplant. Added extra Silica to boost available Si until microbes can catch up and degrade the vermiculite properly.

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of flowering. Got 1 week of flushing done. I'll give the 3rd flushing tomorrow and and I should get another in before the harvest, starting on Aug 5, a Monday. In years past, it's taken about a week to cut it down, hang the branches for a few days and then put the buds into curing bags. Getting yellow leaves because of the flushing and there is another week to go so there will be more yellow leaves. That's Ok. I think if you mistreat them a bit, you gets more THC at harvest. The 3 plants I have inside were wilted when I checked on them. With the heat they went through their water faster since the last watering. Now they have got lots of yellow leaves, especially Plant #8b. That twin has been a little strange since the start. Oh well?!? The inside plants are a week behind the ones in the greenhouse and they will be harvested after I've finished in the greenhouse. Showed some of my flowering peyote. They are self pollenating and the oldest is about 20 years old. Finished book 5 of Weirdo. I've got more Freak Bros. comic books for the next diaries which will be Pink Kush and Death Bubba from weedasecgenetics.simdif.com/ or weedasec.org/ OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

The Afghan is a show off. The buds so far are growing strong for 21 day’s of flowering. No worries with this strain as she takes defoliation very good.

As you can see, the girls look awful different. Yeah the 4th plant, aka GDP4, aka Bea, continued to hermie... the boyfriend cut it down and discarded it while I was away (my dad passed (we weren't close)) and did a serious defoliation. If you read my first diary, I don't like the defoliation part so he usually does it lololol. The 3 remaining GDPs are starting to show their flower and they getting into the meat of stretching. I'm sad about Bea, more so about my dad lol, but I wanted to see how much we'd produce with 4 plants this time. It was my first time doing this many. Oh well... what's meant to be will be so 4 plants were not meant to be. Overall though, the girls look healthier than ever. I keep checking them for seeds as well but haven't found any... thanks goodness. 😣

Well after a miscalculation on the feeding weeks I am back on track. I gave them a drink of PH 6.2 water on the 15th I will feed them this week with another Bloom, Humic Acid and Big Fruits I will increase them by 2 ml per gallon. I am out of the PK booster and should have enough of the other Green Buzz Nutrients to last the grow. They seem to be responding well to the feedings. I might have a little nutrient burn on some of the sugar leaves. Over all autos that don't get very big, the PPM level I have been giving them might be a little high. so one more week of feeding after this 1/25 last food before the 2week flush with Clean Fruits from Green Buzz Nutrients. something similar to a flawless finish I am guessing. till next week Roll Bigger Joints.😺

Hey Guys! We are back at it again and wow thing's starting to pick up. I must be lucky with this bean's i guess, everything runs smooth and all the 4 girls just living a good life right now. Dinafem Diesel: flowers well under high RH. I have high expectations from this pheno, fingers crossed it packs a good punch and flavor. Overall really fun to grow. Seedsman c99 x Blueberry (fast): Preform really well in humid conditions both veg and flower (like most Thai i've grown). The smell is there from the start due to the terps in the juice is really strong smelling of "rotten dank meat" both in veg and in flower, but the trichomes on the flower smells like sour fruity candy right now in week 4 and it's really pleasant to keep smelling. Must say it's kinda addicting. Cali Connection Girl scout cookies: The size of this plant is quite good for indoor, as it didn't stretch much in flower. A faint smell of mint and cookies from the flower not too strong yet. I will try grow out this pheno under better conditions more suited for "Kushy strains". Greenhouse seeds Super lemon haze: Ok i need to say this first. Scrog or topping or even mainlaning is a must to grow this one. It grows big and have massive branch production and cannot support its own weight 9 seeds out of 10 (or maybe only me, idk). it preforms well under slightly higher RH then normal but i would not go over 50 % week 4. I started to feed Booster and Calcium just to get the plants to fatten up a bit. i will dry out the pot then start the Blumat system after a few day's in hope that plants will drink and explode in flower production. I might edit in new pics of a random plant over the week. Lets call them Bonus Pic's just to keep thing's fresh. Don't forget to leave a Like😄 Until next time Cheers!

Bedankt @Weedseedsexpress voor de sample 👌🏽 Een prachtige strain. Ze had niet veel aandacht nodig. Haar buds zien er verrukkelijk uit. Dikke compacte buds vol met thc. Ben zeer benieuwd hoe ze zal smaken. Ik heb de plant in zijn geheel opgehangen en dus geen nat gewicht genoteerd. Als het droog is zal ik de buds wegen en natuurlijk proeven. Dit zal ongeveer 2 weken duren. Tot dan 👍🏼

***UPDATE 03/26/25*** Gave each plant 350ml of dechlorinated tap water at a PH of 6.0 Rearranged the plants so they are directly underneath the bars of light above! The Strawberry Dawg Pie is looking much better at the start of week 3, hoping no more issues with water & light! Temps & RH have been good so far today, RH is on the climb to 70%! ***UPDATE 03/27/25*** Plants responded fairly well to yesterdays watering! Little bit of droop but should perk back up over the next 12 hours or so, 350ml next feed will be best vs jumping right to 500ml, am gonna wait until they have completely dried out before feeding again! Will keep an eye on all 4 plants over the next couple of days, want to remove large fan leaves prior to mainlining! Temps & RH have been pretty good so far today as well! ***UPDATE 03/28/25*** Not much needed to be done today, will probably defoliate in the next day or two & begin mainlining! Temps & RH have been good so far today! ***UPDATE 03/29/25*** Pots are still saturated & I will not have to water for another day or two, some clawing on new growth even at 350ml per plant! Should be able to defoliate & begin LST tomorrow afternoon! Temps & RH have been good so far today, RH will slowly climb back up to 70% over the next hour or two now that the door to the tent is closed! ***UPDATE 03/30/25*** Nothing needs to be done today, will be feeding tomoroow afternoon alongside defoliation & LST! ***UPDATE 03/31/25*** Gave each plant 250ml of dechlorinated tap water mixed with nutrients listed above at a PH of 6.2 All 4 plants have been clawing so I decided to dial it back a bit water wise for now Defoliated, topped & have started LST! RH has been good today but temps have been quite low! ***UPDATE 04/01/25*** Plants responded well to yesterdays feed! Still a bit of clawing but pots are drying up much quicker at 250ml will probably need to water again tomorrow! Some more LST today, had to pinch to soften tissue in order to get the plants anchored down properly! Noticed a couple hairs on the Gravely Ghost, am hoping I still got a bit of time to train & top before flower! RO system showed up today! Got that mounted to a cutting board with L brackets for feet so I can move it around! 5 Gal bucket is currently filling up but is quite a slow process.. Gonna double check with other people who own the unit to see if it's is a normal speed! (Aquatic Life RO Buddie 4-Stage Reverse Osmosis, picture & video above) Checked TDS & is looking like 300ppm ish straight from the tap, RO filtered water is sitting at 4ppm which is good! Temps & Humidity have been pretty good today!
