Day 45 power is restored and we are back at it! I moved #2 under the viparspectra lights and lowered her down a bit from it.(she was either too hot or over watered. Either way this should help by dimming the light and encouraging roots to do there thang) I'm kinda embarrassed but I stunted #2 during transplant last week. She is finally starting to grow. I just over watered everybody during transplant. Day 46 nothing new to report. Theh are acclimated to the new pots, finally and are in cruise control. A personal observation, when I grow the rest of these seeds I'm not stopping or training. They're just too beautiful on their own! Day 48: Straight cruise control. I wanted to take so pics to show the pre sleep drop. They're above.😊 #1 is really growing. I expect they will be in flower shoes by week 9 and hope to flip on week 10 Day 49: tried to upload some pictures and videos today but the app wouldn't operate my camera 🤷‍♂️ oh well... I watered #1 today. She is officially in overdrive just growing fast!! (You get measurements tomorrow at the new week!) The good and bad of this week is #2. She definitely stunted during transplant. Probably from over watering during it. So to help promote root growth I topped her 4 main tops. And lowered her 3' from the Optic8+ It worked like a charm too!! All her leave are turning up praying again rather than being water logged and her new tops are bright green and growing! Bingo bango! The Gear: 4x8 Tent 1 Optic8+, 2x Viparspectra 600w LEDs, 3x 50w auto cobs. 1100w true power draw approx.

Been a slow week. Been trying to fill out as much of the Scrooge as I can. I will be defoliating in a couple days. I still want to see if any more sites will reach above the trellis. The feeding is still the same 4g B1/B2 of Floraflex and 2gs of Bulky B per gallon. Thank you all again for tuning in to my diary see you all again next week.

Well I was able to LST these girls quickly and they responded very well. So new SOP is to LST and then apply Raw aloe vera juice and the plants will explode. Will be flopping them to flower very soon.

On the 50th day, freezing of the leaves was done. it seems that it did not cause stress to the girl, and her leaves were all looking at the light the next day :) The girl drinks a lot, she needs 4.5 liters of water every 4 days, the girl received full nutrition on the 53rd day, the water ppm was 1100:) "strong girl -strong food ":D everything is going very well:) On the 56th day, when I came I saw condensation formed, the humidity showed 85%, I put a dehumidifier in the tent, so everything is fine :) good luck to everyone..Also, the girl received a "MarsHydro vetiliator" as a gift for her amazing growth :D she likes it :) she's happy - I'm happy :).

SUMMARY: - I killed my first to tap-root seeds, I waited for them to grow "by the book" 0.5cm and I should have just planted, I saw them get worse and said "I must of messed up with something, lets wait another night until they bounce back" and instead they died. The next germination was super easy but my lights were too high, and the humidity was too low. All the fixes were done for the next weeks. Nov. 3 21:30 - dropped seeds into water 14:30 - get seeds into paper towel nov. 4 1:00 - seeds moved to damp paper towel nov. 5 18:00 - both seeds crack tap root emerging nov. 6 7:45 - both seeds tap root growing very long and thin, - third seed still not cracked 8:30 - both seeds placed into soil and watered lightly - placed into grow tent and LEDs turned on - 24H for the first day - 18/6 for the rest nov. 8 6:45 - first seedling spouted cotyledons leaves 13:00 - seedling (cotyledons leaves) looks droopy 19:00 - light moved down to 30” 23:00 - second seedling has reach the surface and started to sprout cotyledons - first seedling still getting taller - third seed still not cracked nov. 9 15:00 - both seedlings given 50ml of water - watered around the outside of pot - pH of water = 7.81 - pH of runoff = 6.31 nov. 10 - second seedling has created serrated second set of leaves and stretched up to same height, but much smaller than first seedling. Specifications:😎 Seeds: - 2x White Widow feminized seeds from Crop King Seed Tent: - 4x4x6 Mammoth Grow tent LED: - 2x Spider Farmer SF1000 LED (default 100 watt draw for seedling but will be bumped up to 125 Watt for flowering if not sooner) Pots: - 2x 0.5 L starter pots - 2x 5 gal smart pots after transplant Soil: - Pro-mix containing mycorrhizae and perlite, used for starter pots and mixed at roughly 1:3 ratio with Ocean Forest - Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, used in the 5 gallon pots and mixed with roughly 3:1 ratio with pro-mix - note: pro mix was mixed thoroughly with ocean forest in the 5 gal pot, then pro-mix was used on the top layer, in and around where the transplant will be to help the early veg stage avoid getting too "hot" via nutrients. Nutrients: - Fox Farm Big Bloom - Fox Farm Big Grow - Fox Farm Tiger Bloom Inline Fans: - AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6 6" (exhaust) - AC infinity CLOUDLINE S6 6" (active intake) - AC infinity 6" ducting Oscillating fans: - 2x Wind Devil 6" fans Carbon Filter: - 2x iPower Carbon Filter on both inline fans - note: carbon filter on intake fan as basement had mold issues in furnace room far removed but same floor, some mold issue in other room, cat litter in basement, thus, avoiding all risks and sleeping sound at night :) all mold was killed, scrubbed, cleaned, sprayed, painted, and sprayed again before setting up. Humidifier: - TaoTronics Cool Mist Humidifier Timers: - 2x Kuman 15A/1800W 24-Hour Digital Timer Overall: Good start to the grow, germinated 2/3 seeds, both growing and healthy. Both seedlings have developed their cotyledons and although they initially were quite droopy, they often bounce back to a decent upright/natural position. Third seed is undergoing "emergency germination" for the next 2 days as it experienced identical conditions to the other healthy seeds yet failed to germinate, likely due to its unviable nature. Waiting for extension cords to lower the lights further and a humidifier to hold rH steady in the next day or so. The seedlings appear to be reaching up for the light, stretching, but it appears to be within the acceptable range as they are upright and sturdy. The seedlings often get a little droopy, it is likely that this and even the stretching can be blamed on low humidity, temperature swings between low 60's up to 81 F. Nov. 2 - I killed 2 germinated seeds by waiting for tap root to grow to 0.5cm. - note: tap root looked great but was quite short so I waited another day for it to grow as instructed, the next day it looked like it had suffered, I assumed it was something I did like too damp, or too dry, but it really just needed to be planted before tap root grew to 0.5cm. So i waited another day to see the bounce back this time carefully ensuring right amount of dampness but when i looked it was clearly dead. RIP 😭 Nov. 3 21:30 - dropped seeds into water 14:30 - get seeds into paper towel nov. 4 1:00 - seeds moved to damp paper towel nov. 5 18:00 - both seeds crack tap root emerging nov. 6 7:45 - both seeds tap root growing very long and thin, - third seed still not cracked 8:30 - both seeds placed into soil and watered lightly - placed into grow tent and LEDs turned on - 24H for the first day - 18/6 for the rest nov. 8 6:45 - first seedling spouted cotyledons leaves 13:00 - seedling (cotyledons leaves) looks droopy 19:00 - light moved down to 30” 23:00 - second seedling has reach the surface and started to sprout cotyledons - first seedling still getting taller - third seed still not cracked nov. 9 15:00 - both seedlings given 50ml of water - watered around the outside of pot - pH of water = 7.81 - pH of runoff = 6.31 nov. 10 - second seedling has created serrated second set of leaves and stretched up to same height, but much smaller than first seedling. Summary of week: - A rocky but good start has resulted in 2 healthy seedlings with a decent set of serrated leaves. - MY growing pains and on the fly adjusting of grow tent climate likely resulted in a little bit of a tough week for the seedlings. LED hanging too high likely off the start (started at 60" and got as low as 30"), low rH (going down to as low as 40% and never really getting <60%), and poor temperature fluctuations (going as low as 61F early in the morning when the lights go off for 8H and as high as 81F when the lights are on for some time). - Luckily these factors did not do much damage but in all likelihood just resulted in a slower growth rate. - After initially planted into damp soil, I only watered once, with only 50ml for each plant and mostly watered around the edges of the pot.

01/04/2022- Hello and welcome all been away on some family matter. So today was the last day this girl got watered and will also be the last day she got light as well, she will be cut down Friday morning. The smell has gotten a lot more stronger since flush was started last week Wednesday. Will update before I chop her down.

We are currently working on the recovery from the initial stem split on plant A. She's almost all the way recovered with only a slight crack still remaining. Hopefully that split and the overwatering won't disrupt or stunt the growth of this lady too much. For the sake of experimenting I pulled off the first set of fan leaves that were stunted and discolored in hopes the energy used by the plant will be directed more towards the new growth. Plant C is looking great and loving the increased Par values from our light as we are getting good vertical growth and the main stem is looking super healthy. As we get through to the end of the week we will start transitioning plant A for LST in the form of tie down. The fan is currently applying pretty good stress to the already week stalk of plant A, but she again is almost 100% closed back up. The whole purpose of the fan is to strengthen the stalk with very light stress. Plant C will see LST beginning in 2 weeks as she is 1 week behind Plant A. Many people ask me about the LL on the guage and I will remind everyone, I live in a high climate desert around the 49th parallel so it's cold and dry. When the tent is closed I usually see rh values near 40% where the normal RH (Relative Humidity) is around 10%. It's just dry here. That said the grow community here and the quality of bud is top shelf as it gets. Rh doesn't necessarily impact the end results. End goal is still 360g harvest out of this tent we will see if we get it.

After 48 hours of darkness, the time had come and the Purple Lemonade were ready for harvest. Since she reacted very well to the training and grew with enough space between the buds, I decided to dry upside down. Dry weight and smoke report follow after curing. Stay tuned...

Things are coming along OK this week. Maybe I spend too much time with them but it just didn't look like much was happening this week. I am dealing with a bit of leaf burn from the LED so I moved it up to 48" and the plants seem to be responding better now. It could be it was getting too much stress from the light intensity. Will see how the next week goes. I was hoping to hit it again with Ton-O-Bud but I'm not sure it will be a good idea now that I'm a little behind. I'd almost rather start the finishing nutes for the Indicas but will see how the plants look when that time comes.

Start of week 5. Week 4 went well, bud site development is going great, she's gaining size and weight, the smell is like fresh greenery, almost like walking in the spring forest.

Ran 2 seed from both, all popped easy. Veg stage was smooth—Candy Store RBX with medium long internal soacing, Marshmallow OG compact and sturdy. Topped, LST’d, ScrOG’d, both responded like champs. Flowering hit week 4: Candy Store kept those fluffy buds, sweet berry/candy smell blasting. Marshmallow stretched like crazy until week 4. Had to lift the Candy to keep the canopy even. Marshmallow OG went full compact, colas dense, straight gassy with a heavy chemical punch— diesel vibes in the mix. Trichomes frosted early, looked insane by week 6. Harvest week 9: Candy Store RBX gave frosty, a bit fluffy buds, pure candy/berry flavor, uplifting and social. Marshmallow OG delivered tight, dense nugs, straight gas, chemical-heavy flavor, relaxing body buzz creeping in. Both fire, but totally different vibes. Candy = fruit bomb, Marshmallow = full on gassy chem punch. Visually and flavor-wise, the two perfectly complement each other. I’m super happy with this round. Both turned out purple at the end of flowering.👌

Auch wenn es nicht immer einfach ist Bedingungen so optimal wie möglich zu halten, habe ich bei die Grow eine Menge dazu gelernt. 3 Pflanzen sind einfach zuviel für meine kleine Growbox, ich bekomme die Technik kaum unter. Auch das Gießen ist sehr mühsam 😞 Ich habe um jeden Zentimeter gekämpft und gebastelt um die Lampe so hoch wie noch irgendwie möglich zu bekommen. Nun zu den Pflanzen, diese entwickeln sich stetig, aber doch sichtbar und noch keine Trauermücken 😇 Das entlauben hat den Pflanzen wohl augenscheinlich nicht geschadet, dafür kommt besser Luft durch und alle Kraft geht nach oben.
