9/30/18. She still looks great. No burn and no deficiencies so far. I fed her a liter and a half . The pot is now heavy but not totally soaked. I did not water to runoff but the lower portion of the pot is wet. I don't like soaking the pots because the bottoms take ay too long to totally dry and I have had issues watering schedules. 10/5/18 Still doing perfect with minimal attention. Bumped up the amount of Grow Big last feeding with no ill effect. Looking ahead and having weeks before the auto is done I didn't know how to face the upcoming issue of vertical space. Shes too big to LST and I did not want to top her because shes doing incredibly well and want to see what she will produce. I rigged up a scrog contained within the bucket. I did a mod years ago to a smoker which gave me the idea in the middle of the night. I might change out the screen itself since it was just what I had on hand but will see how it works.. The openings are 2.5" so it should suit my needs. I have it set at 8 inches above soil but it is fully adjustable up and down by the nuts on the threaded rod. I plan on keeping the main stem under the screen to induce the plant to keep producing shoots and fill the area. Im pretty excited about trying this and Stay Tuned.

D64. We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day. First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task. The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched. One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light. I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights. ------------------------------ D66. It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew! Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips. ------------------------------ D68. All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips. The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside. The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan. Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity. So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago. I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer. However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

WW#1: Opening the jar stinks up the whole house...kinda like if you had a basket full of lemons, limes, and oranges...and left them in the trunk of your car for a week of 100 degree weather...very sour/funky. Only one week of cure so far, so can't give a full review on taste, but it's pungent and kinda tastes like it smells...sour and funky with a hint of fresh cut oak (or is it mahogany??) I've gotten a little bit noseblind to the pungency, and now I'm saying that an upclose sniff of a bud smells kinda like a mix of the funky rotten citrus fruit I mentioned before, but doused with a little turpentine. Short/stocky, good branching able to support it's own bigass buds. The main cola was 100g, wet, and just under a foot long. Total dry weight was 85g. WW#2: Murdered on 8/26! Main cola was almost 15 inches and weighed 120g, wet. She's bigger and badder...can't wait to taste her...😍 Total dry weight was 90g. I updated my lighting to reflect actual draw wattage and my grow room space to 4 square feet because that's all that these two plants required. I think the numbers are a more accurate representation of the truth about my yield for the two White Widows in this grow. Can't wait to smoke her!

Anesia Seeds - Chimera Cut, hello everyone! Our beauty is 60 days old, and she looks absolutely stunning. 12 days ago, we pruned and tied down her branches, and the results have been fantastic. You can see for yourself by checking previous weeks and comparing. This lady has quite the appetite, and Xpert Nutrients are clearly to her taste. Just look at the color and shape of her leaves, and it’s obvious that this lady is surrounded by care and love.

Hello my friends 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾, Week was good, preflowering started, leaves are really great, nice green, no spot, really healthy 💚💚. I continue my training for the scrog, almost good :) And did again a defoliation. I'll probably did a last defoliation on the end flip, to remove under site and slim stems. Not yet seen pistils, but stretch in progress. I stay in veg week, because we're on preflowering ✌️ 💦 Only one watering this week, after transplant I had given lot of water. Water + Terra vega + Canna Boost PH@6 Lamp @100% Thanks community for follow, likes, comments, always a pleasure 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾❤️🌲 See you next week 👊👊 Mars Hydro - TS 1000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ts-1000-led-grow-light Mars Hydro - FC3000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/fc-3000-samsung-lm301b-led-grow-light Mars Hydro - SP3000 https://www.mars-hydro.com/sp-3000-samsung-lm301b-greenhouse-led-grow-light The High Chameleon - Vannila T https://www.thehighchameleon.com/shop/vanilla-t-5

Day 40 from sprout: The watering helped the 30gal out after 1 day. 3/30 and 4/1 i topped each plant and continue to tuck leaves. Some defoliation on the lower fan leaves that were touching the medium a bit. I will defoliate a little more this week. Scrog will come out in another week or so. I am seeing some canoeing at the very top of each plant. Could be a pH thing or from heat but chances are its a pH thing. I'll keep an eye on it and lower the water pH i am giving it if it persists. Gave the 2L pot some water (a little top and mostly bottom water) on 4/1. Medium was looking very dry on top but wasnt showing signs of needing water so i didnt give it much.

Had various minor issues during the grow, but overall Master Kush finished great. Nice frosty dense smelly colas. Will try to update the harvest video once this is up. It will be on my YouTube channel for sure. The Unit Farm UF4000, and UF2000 lights worked great. Gonna cut her down and get to next one. Thanks again Unit Farm, and Weed Seed Express. 🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🍻🌱👍 Happy Growing 🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana clandestinos y también a los que tienen la fortuna de no serlo!🖐️👨‍🌾👍 Este es un diario semanal de técnicas de cultivo y Bio preparados orgánicos caseros, los cuales llevo experimentando dos años en cultivos de marihuana interior. Esta semana dos en uno: 1) ELABORACIÓN DE AUXINAS EN POLVO EXTRAIDAS DE ALUBIAS NEGRAS GERMINADAS. La primera vez que hice este preparado y lo publiqué en GD fue en Octubre de 2019, lo volví a hacer en Junio de 2020 y llevo dos años usándolo, me ha costado el precio de 2kg de alubias negras. INGREDIENTES: - 1kg de alubias o frijoles negros, porque son las semillas que más concentración de auxinas contienen, comparándolas por ejemplo, con lentejas o cualquier otro tipo de leguminosas, también se puede usar granos de maíz. Preferentemente, se deben usar semillas de alubias nuevas y cultivadas cerca de tu zona. - Agua pura. PROCEDIMIENTO: - Se cubren las alubias con agua y se dejan a remojo durante una noche. - Al día siguiente se separa el agua. Esta agua la puedes usar para riegos, contienen varios minerales. - Se mantiene la humedad en el recipiente de las alubias por unos días, hasta que germinen. Se pueden cubrir con un paño húmedo y compensar la perdida de humedad rociando agua. Se debe observar que la mayoría de las semillas hayan germinado. - Cuando las alubias, en su mayoría estén germinadas, se añade unos dos litros agua pura y se bate todo. - Ahora filtramos con malla y escurrimos los restos sólidos. (Reservamos esta materia para un segundo lavado) - Dejamos reposar el líquido durante dos días, hasta que se vea acumulación de materia en el fondo. - Retirar la mayor cantidad posible de agua clara. - Dejar al sol cubierto con una malla, hasta la completa deshidratación del producto. - Moler y guardar en un sitio seco y oscuro, en estas condiciones puede ser efectivo durante años. -- A los residuos sólidos recuperados del primer filtrado, les añado agua, los bato y los filtro con doble malla, lo embotello y guardo en el frigorífico (no más de 15 días, pues fermenta), lo uso para mezclas de riego. Los residuos finales se aprovechan, para aquellos que tengan tierra en exterior o hagan compost. QUE SON LAS AUXINAS Y USOS: - Las auxinas son un grupo de hormonas vegetales naturales, que regulan varios aspectos del desarrollo y crecimiento de las plantas, en la marihuana sobre todo en el periodo de crecimiento vegetativo y en el comienzo de la floración, después no hacen falta. - Uno de los aspecto más característicos es el efecto que causan en el desarrollo del crecimiento radicular, promoviendo sobre todo la formación de raíces secundarias y adventicias gracias a la estimulación celular que provocan las hormonas. - Otro aspecto de las auxinas es que distribuye su energía principalmente al ápice primario, reprimiendo el desarrollo de las ramas laterales, lo que provoca dominancia apical, pero esto es en el caso de plantas de marihuana sin corte apical y donde se quiere conseguir un cogollo principal monstruoso, su uso puede dar muy buenos resultados en cultivos SOG... pero ¿Qué pasa si hacemos un corte apical para promover el crecimiento de ramas laterales y que por ende, de buenos cogollos en cada una de ellas? Cuando se hace un corte apical al ápice principal las hormonas se reorganizan por la planta, ahora para mandar energía a todas las ramas y sus ápices, promoviendo el crecimiento!.. es un buen momento, después de un corte apical, aplicar auxinas para potenciar el proceso. - Finalmente os dejo un gráfico de la actuación de las auxinas en las diferentes etapas de un cultivo, también se ve la importante relación con otras hormonas (Citoquininas o Ácido Giberélico) y los nutrientes claves que no deben faltar para finalizar todo el proceso hormonal. Las Citoquininas y el ácido Giberélico naturales se encuentra en el agua de coco, y es muy interesante conocer como actúan, en la quinta semana de este diario hablo sobre las propiedades del agua de coco. Bien, una vez dicho lo anterior, yo uso las auxinas en polvo de las siguientes formas. - Como mezcla del sustrato donde germino las semillas y donde mantengo las plántulas hasta el trasplante a la maceta definitiva, para potenciar el enraizamiento. - Por la misma razón, lo espolvoreo sobre el cepellón de raíces de la plántula, en el momento del trasplante a la maceta final. - Lo uso como enraizante de esquejes, impregnando el tallo de polvo antes de enterrarlo. - 10 días después de realizar el producto, todavía tenía en la nevera un litro de auxinas líquidas, provenientes del segundo lavado de los restos de las alubias molidas... y entonces pensé que sería buena idea incorporarlo a un fermentado, y de aquí vienen esta segunda parte... 2) LACTO FERMENTO DE AUXINAS ENRIQUECIDO CON NUTRIENTES Y MINERALES En esta ocasión, para la fermentación anaeróbica, elegí hacerlo con suero de leche como base de microorganismos (Ácido láctico, Bacterias Acidolácticas BAL y Lactobacillus) que harán el trabajo de solubilizar los nutrientes y quelatar los minerales, es un preparado muy eficiente para riegos y aplicaciones foliares, en este caso lo hice enriquecido, mezclando diversos materiales orgánicos con otros minerales. Puedes ver la lista arriba. Sobre esto tengo que decir que después de dos años haciendo diferentes lacto fermentos, ahora los hago más específicos, sin mezclar tantos nutrientes, por ejemplo, si quiero solubilizar guanos, harina de huesos o algas, lo que hago es crear un lacto fermento con cada uno de ellos, en el caso de lacto fermentos con minerales, sigo preparándolo mezclando varios, este preparado es muy eficiente en quelatar minerales, y sobre todo en solubilizar fósforo. PROCEDIMIENTO: A veces consigo suero de oveja de un vecino que hace quesos, a veces hago suero de leche cruda de vaca y cuando no tengo ninguna de estas fuentes, hago suero a partir de leche pasteurizada, como el caso de este. - Mezclo el suero (1l) con la melaza y la miel, lo caliento a unos 30°C. - Peso los ingredientes. Como regla general, en el caso de componentes orgánicos usar del 8 al 10% como máximo, respecto a la cantidad de líquido. En el caso de minerales del 4 al 5%. - Añado la levadura al suero con la melaza y la miel. - Añado los componentes secos al barril. - Añado el suero con la melaza y la levadura al barril y agito. - Añado el litro de auxinas líquidas y agito bien. - Lo cierro hermético con válvula de gases. - Guardo el barril a oscuras al menos durante 30 días, pero cuanto más tiempo lo mantengas cerrado antes de abrirlo por primera vez el resultado será mejor. La fermentación comienza violentamente a los pocos minutos dura varios días así y después se hace más lenta. USOS: Este es un preparado que uso como complemento a las auxinas en polvo, lo uso para hacer riegos o aplicaciones foliares de disponibilidad inmediata. - Hago aplicaciones foliares en plántulas, en las primeras semanas de vida. - Lo uso al comienzo de la etapa de crecimiento vegetativo en conjunto con agua de coco. - Riego con este preparado después de hacer cortes apicales. - Lo vuelvo a usar en riego en conjunto con el agua de coco al comienzo de la floración, y esta es la última vez que lo uso en un cultivo. Una señal inequívoca de la actuación de las hormonas, es que las plantas son más susceptibles al fototropismo, esto se traduce en una respuesta mayor a la incidencia lumínica, las plantas, sus hojas y brotes se inclinan y se dirigen hacia la mayor fuente de luz. Yo lo he visto muchas veces después de aplicar auxinas. y esto es todo por hoy... 😅 Hasta la próxima semana... GRACIAS POR ESTAR AHÍ, CULTIVADORES!!🖐️👨‍🌾💧💦🌞💡 =================================

Très content de la voir en bonne santé après les premières semaines où elle avait la mine bas. J’ai ajouté un mars hydro ts600 pour un meilleur éclairage étant donné que la Amnesia s’étire vraiment plus que les autres .

😎Week 3 8/2- Here we go into week three and I'm looking to see some explosive growth happening in the tent soon!😃 The girls are all running 2 1/2" to 4" in height with the Seedsman Gelato OG's and FastBuds Purple Lemonade currently kicking all the others butts!💪 Gave a good watering this morning 2hrs after lights on with non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4. I plan on maintaining that watering schedule from here on out. I refilled the humidifier with non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5. Love the new setup with the two HLG quantum boards, 4 plants per light, and currently running at 400w per light. I'm looking forward to some record yields with this new setup using these 650R's! Temp's/RH/VPD are where they need to be at this point with daytime temp's maxing @ 83 Deg F/ nighttime @ 68 Deg F, RH @ 55%, VPD @ 9.0😀 8/3- Started compost tea last night, ingredients were; 5g de-clorinated 7.0ph water & 5tbsp unsulfured molasses, 4 cups worm castings, 1 cup alfalfa meal, 1 cup kelp meal, 2tbsp bat guano, 1 scoop Great White mycorrhiza and 3tbsp Neptunes Harvest seaweed extract which were added after the air was turned on and the 'bag' was in the bucket. I fimmed the FastBuds Purple Lemonade #2 and Seedsman Gelato OG #1, LST'd the FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 & #2, and the Seedsman Zkittles #1. Whilst doing all that I noticed my old friends the fungus gnats so I immediately placed sticky traps in all pots....little bastards! I went online and ordered Nematoads who will have a field day with the gnats! The girls all got watered in from the top and bottom with de-chlorinated straight water ph'd to 6.6 @ 76deg 225ppm, lights still @ 36" above the soil and running @ 400w each.😎 8/4- Gave the girls compost tea for breakfast. The tea had brewed for 38hrs., had 854ppm and ph'd @ 7.1...PERFECT! I split 4g of the tea between the eight ladies @ 1/2 gallon each. I also topped the FastBuds Crystal Meth #2 and Seedsman Gelato OG #2 and checked and adjusted LST on all. Temp's, RH, and VPD all on point with the girls are showing it! 8/5- Soil felt moist so skipping water today and will feed early AM. All the ladies have taken on a deeper shade of green and are really starting to take off since receiving the compost tea yesterday and they'll be going crazy by the end of this week going into week four. The FastBuds Crystal Meth #1 & #2 are both showing early flowering signs already and are starting to get some purple coloration in new growth which looks natural, not a deficiency. I topped the FastBuds Purple Lemonade #1 and Seedsman Zkittles #1 and checked/adjusted LST on all. 8/6- Gave a good watering this morning with 4g of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.8, went through, and tucked leaves on all the girls to keep exposing lower bud sites to the light so that we have a nice even canopy for flower! All the girls have either been topped, fimmed or LST'd at this point and all I'll be doing from here on out is tucking leaves and possibly some very minor defoliation if needed, 8/7- All the girls look very happy this morning and are starting to get ready for that stretch at the beginning of flower. The FastBuds Crystal Meth's are the shortest, along with the Seedsman Zkittles #1 and the CM's are already showing pistils but I'm not declaring that they're in 'flower' quite yet. 8/8- Gave all the ladies a good water in this morning with .5g each of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.9 @ 76deg. Went over all the girls and tucked shade leaves to expose bud sites, removed a couple of the ones that couldn't be tucked, and were blocking numerous bud sites. I also continued with LST on all bending branches outward to expose them to more of that HLG 650R goodness!

Hey guys! Another update! 😃 This week is going to be the last one that I feed the plants and after that I'm going to just flush them for just one week. I took photos during the middle of the week just to see how trichomes were developing and there are more ambar! I want the top colas to be about 50% ambar and 50% cloudy while the ones below 30% ambar and 70% cloudy and I think I'll be able to reach that with ease. Besides that this week was relaxing, no big issues! And I've been removing more fan leaves so when the right moment arrive it'll be easier to clean the plant! And that way I can get some extra development in lower colas. The smell is strong now compared to other weeks (it's been getting stronger every week!) 😲 PD: The question is still up! In case anyone knows what could've happened 😱 Thanks for reading! 👋

The phenotypes are now very distinct, the small plant's leaves go directly from green to dark plum colour they do not go yellow at all. Unlike the early orange bud. It almost looks like it has a blue light on it.

Day 3 for the gutter hoes and they are in the system. I am using a 4 ft section of gutter with caps on both ends. The bottom is lined wit about half an inch of pea gravel for better drainage. Then filled with perlite. A feed line will pump nutrients to the end of the gutter that is elevated about an inch. The nutrients drain back to the reservoir and will be circulated 24 hours a day. This alleviates the need for an air pump since the return water oxygenates the 4 gallon reservoir. Just a cheap nft style setup I guess you would call it.
