When should I flush??????????

Big defoliation this week! Being my first ever grow I was a little worried but I have been reassured it is for the best so can’t wait to see how she turns out! I have also had a ph issue this week for some reason the ph levels in my reservoir kept dropping I have monitored the ph levels daily topping up the reservoir with more water to raise the ph so hopefully things settle down. This girl is looking better and better every day her stickybudz 😏 are coming along really nicely and is starting to produce more of a smell to her now can’t wait to see the final out come! Happy Growing 🌱

2nd week of flowering

Starting to see some lighter colors in the leaves, might be the start of some sort of deficiency...hmmm...will be keeping a close watch for further changes I also slept in a morning or two this week, resulting in a missed watering before lights out. As you can see, coco doesn't like it when you get lazy and miss a watering...note to self, stop hitting snooze in the am..

Week 7 Day 43) Flushed again cuz ph lockout , looks like it was to low n nitrogen n calcium r getting in, also fed some recharge, also was over feeding Day 44) realizing I got so much to learn, ph lockout is fixed because the calcium rust stopped and it’s getting dark green so i think it’s good I plan to feed some bloom nutes wensday. Defiolated @ 1am and lst Day 45) hopefully her ph is balanced Day47 ) notice the rusting and dying of leaves plus nute burn, flushed again 3 gallons then gave recharge

Everyone is doing well.

Last week, start flushing it !

Just letting her ripen now, colours coming in.. and fading out nicely. Last few days will be RO water. EC is still lower than what comes out of my tap, 0.5. We are near.. Day 77 - the girls are nicely faded/flushed with RO water, so my EC is sitting lower than what comes out of the tap.. only like white ash burning and to maximise flavour and smells. Shes currently a problem as the small tester bid i took left the whole place smelling very strong to the point where i haven't chopped her yet as the smells too strong even with a carbon filter. (No joke). Thinking to possibly chop either tomorrow or the day after. Not much to report until I've chopped and left to hang dry, I'd normally let the whole plant hang dry but might have to do it differently due to the sheer size of these girls. Once hang dried she will be in jars (might even get some more boveda packs). But yeah, stay tuned for this one 😉 this ones gonna pack a punch. Again i tried to upload a 3 minute video but GD won't allow the video.

I know why they call em girls now. You get to obsessed and you scare em away. This is not a casual hobby for me anymore. I have been sucked in to this underground world of cool people. If i had a feeling the inline fan needed an adjustment, i would jump out of bed. Before i go to bed, i say my prayers. Im Catholic so a prayer to St Francis of Assisi is a smart move. Even if your an athiest, its worth the 30 seconds and its cheaper than the latest must have miracle chemicle. If your wrong, you lose nothing but if you are right and you know it? you better let me know . You could just say,"St Francis, i dont believe you are real but if you are, would you please grow me some crazy big, solid dank!" This is not ez. The panic waiting for seeds to germinate and then actually take off and you have to pay constant attention to everything. At least i do and its never enough. I keep thinking spring is almost here and all you gotta due is plant,water and harvest but i have come to far with indoor growing so i plan to stop indoors on the day that i die. this is way too cool and everybody here is way too cool. For some reason i totally destroyed the previous grow and the main reason was i was smoking the other last grow all through the thing and couldnt even remember if i just watered or if i was about to and etc..anyway i have developed an elaborate way to water wo getting nutes all over the buds in dense spots esp. i mix in a 1 gallon container,pour into measuring cup and them water through a funnel, slowly and even. ALSO I MADE A GIANT MISTAKE AND SUDDENLY REALIZED MY LIGHTS SHOULD BE A COUPLE INCHES LOWER. So its been warm and im raking out by the road and a neighbor starts telling me the latest on the people on the corner, part, so we start talking about indoor growing and next thing, were showing eachother grow pics and talking bro science and the ultra importance of drying and curing. Instant guy to have stimulating and relevant conversation with and we have been both doing the same thing secretly for past 3 years.. I suspect its a much bigger community than i think i hope this grow does well. these 2 strains are known to grow short and i lst'd them big time so i hope this doesnt have a negative effect somehow. EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT AND IM LOOKING FOR PROBLEMS. ENOUGH OF THAT FOR TODAY. HAPPY GROWING!!

Second grow ever - Not seen much about Diablo xl but know it’s a cross between jack herer and big devil #2. Excited to see how this one goes. Wed 3rd March - Placed Diablo XL into ph balanced water and put in a warm dark place for 24 hours Thur 4th March - Seed has sunk after 24hours have made my own propagation kit which I will place in a blacked out tub for the next 3 days. I will check up on it every day to see if soil is still damp. Fri 5th March - No sprout today if she doesn’t sprout by tomorrow night I will give some light to give her energy. Sat 6th March - Still no sign will put light on tonight. Happy growing. Sun 7th March - Wooo! She’s showing signs of sprouting can see she’s trying to get out her she’ll casing. Excited to see what I wake up to tomorrow!! 🍁

Week one of flower in the books I watered Monday with grow nutrients !! Then watered late in the week with phd water and molasses now I’ve switched to my bloom nutes as of this morning I did find that my ph meter is off glad I found the problem early on in flower could’ve been bad later on Oan in another 5 days I’ll do one more defoliation after that I won’t bother them again till harvest !!! Let me know what you guys think

Getting close to harvest. Very weak smell. Buds slowly fattening. Over all grow looking good. Checked trichomes. Now, nice and cloudy. UVB light on a couple of hours a day, just after mid-day.

I took the tiny plant out of the tent due to state laws. She is happily sitting in a window... we'll see what happens with her! Massive growth for both plants this week! They both doubled in size! I don't know whether to call my plants vegging, pre-flowering or flowering. I figured this was the last week of veg and next week is full on flowering!! They both stink! Gassy for sure! I'll need to turn start using my carbon filter soon... I caught a few cool time lapse videos this week. Especially after feeding them last night!! I fed them twice this week. The first time was at a third recommended dose and I jumped it to half yesterday. The leaves are clawing at the top of the plants... I think it is a lack of phosphorus due to me only watering them the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts out there? I'd love advice about defoliating... I have a couple massive fan leaves I could remove to open the canopy for flowers... I just don't want to stunt the plant or rob the main cola of a major energy source... Thoughts are definitely welcome! I tried my hand at LST... I think a few are working and a few aren't doing the job... Definitely need to figure this out! Again advice is welcome! If you've made it this far... thanks!! Cheers!

As I figured she really started picking up speed this week. I'll be switching her to swell this week. Looking at a week 8 or 9 finish

Deep breaths... alright well things changed rapidly this week. She went downhill quick. Signs of potassium deficiency, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Thinking, after checking runoff, she faded a little too acidic (I had stopped checking regularly as I’ve had minimal issues on previous 5 grows). She got a nice flush, with final run off reading at 6.4. She only has 2 weeks or so to go, so not panicking; if anything just a learning experience. Her flush was yesterday; she’s scheduled for feeding on Tuesday, so we will see how things go. Video/photos taken 63 days after breaking soil.
