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.

SUMMARY: The OG has bounced back from the pH issues now after giving all watering/irrigation at a pH of 6.5. I continued with the updated GWE mid bloom nutes for the OG and Sensi Garden peak bloom nutes for the Amnesia. I also continued with some light defoliation this week removing the odd lower leaf and some fan leaves covering bud sites that I couldn't tuck. DAY 78 -------- Thursday 19/11/2020 I fed the plants. GWE 2020 updated Mid-bloom nutes for the OG and Sensi Garden Peak Flower nutes for the Amnesia. Although I only mixed these nutes and pH'd to 6.4 on Monday I always check again before and the readings had changed - I don't think my pH pen is the best (yes I keep the tip moist). I didn't have time to pH again and tbh after spending 30mins doing this the other day it can get to fuck and stay as is. OG (in) = 5L pH 6.4 OG (out) = 1.05L (21%) pH 5.7 [0.7 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.2 Amnesia (out) = 1.4L (35%) pH 5.9 [0.3 drop] The plants look healthy still with no signs of issues and are both a great colour so I think they're doing just fine. The OG has bounced back from the pH issues now and is really blooming fast, much faster that the Amnesia which makes me sad as I will inevitably cut her down early...I think she has the potential to be a beast judging on bud development so far. The Amnesia on the other hand...I'm starting to become a little disenchanted with her due to the very slow progression of the buds - I was expecting bigger buds but I don't think the genetics are the best (freebies from Seedsman). DAY 80 -------- Saturday 21/11/2020 I fed the plants. GWE 2020 updated Mid-bloom nutes for the OG and Sensi Garden Peak Flower nutes for the Amnesia. Although I only mixed these nutes and pH'd to 6.4 on Monday I always check again before and the readings had changed - I don't think my pH pen is the best (yes I keep the tip moist). I didn't have time to pH again and tbh after spending 30mins doing this the other day it can get to fuck and stay as is. OG (in) = 5L pH 6.4 OG (out) = 0.9L (18%) pH 5.8 [0.6 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.4 Amnesia (out) = 1.55L (39%) pH 6.0 [0.4 drop] The humidity has been between 43-55% the last week which is good. I turned the heat up to 25°C a week ago which seems to have helped bring the RH down. DAY 82 -------- Monday 23/11/2020 I fed the plants. GWE 2020 updated Mid-bloom nutes for the OG and Sensi Garden Peak Flower nutes for the Amnesia. OG (in) = 5L pH 6.4 OG (out) = 1.1L (22%) pH 6.0 [0.4 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.3 Amnesia (out) = 1.25L (31%) pH 6.1 [0.2 drop] The RH has been lower the last week or so and it seems to be due to the defoliation I've been doing every time I water/irrigate (removing a few obstructing/pointless leaves). I think because its such a small space the removal of the leaves has allowed for a constant 15-20% drop and so its right where I want it now at 40-50%. DAY 84 -------- Wednesday 25/11/2020 I watered the plants with pH'd tap water as my rainwater supply has dried up a little. OG (in) = 5.5L pH 6.3 OG (out) = 1.17L (23%) pH 5.4 [0.9 drop] Amnesia (in) = 4L pH 6.3 Amnesia (out) = 1.2L (30%) pH 5.4 [0.9 drop] No idea why there is a drop in pH of 0.9 for both when there has been a steady trend of it getting closer to the input value. But its expected to vary and 0.5 either side is standard I believe. The Amnesia is taking forever to fatten up, if it ever will now at this point. I know theyre only getting 12 hours of light but this is SLOW!

Leider funktionierte bei beginn etwas im Diary nicht, haben daher die Keimung 1/1 in der ersten Veg. abgebildet. Rainbow Melon von Fast Buds ​Die Mission Rainbow Melon – Eine Reise durch den genetischen Dschungel ​Willkommen, werte Chronisten, zu unserem nächsten botanischen Experiment. Unser heutiges Studienobjekt ist die Rainbow Melon, eine photoperiodische Sorte von Fast Buds, die das Versprechen auf maximale Erträge und ein geschmackliches Feuerwerk in sich trägt. Ihr Name ruft Bilder von kunterbunten Früchten hervor und ihr Stammbaum ist ein Produkt hochspezialisierter, moderner Züchtung. Doch hinter dem glänzenden Marketing verbirgt sich eine Pflanze, die nur demjenigen ihr volles Potenzial offenbart, der bereit ist, ihre Tücken zu meistern. ​1. Genetik & Stammbaum: Ein modernes Meisterwerk ​Die Rainbow Melon ist eine Kreuzung zwischen einer proprietären, als „Keeper Cut“ bezeichneten Melon-Sorte von Fast Buds und der berühmten Rainbow Chip von Exotic Genetix. Der Begriff „Keeper Cut“ ist hier kein Marketing-Gag, sondern beschreibt einen Phänotyp, der sorgfältig aufgrund seiner herausragenden Merkmale ausgewählt wurde. Das Ergebnis ist ein ausgewogener Hybrid, der die besten Eigenschaften seiner Eltern vereint: ein modernes, fruchtiges Terpenprofil und eine extrem hohe Potenz. ​2. Wuchs, Größe & der Wunsch nach XXL-Ertrag ​Die Rainbow Melon wird als „XL-Kultivar“ beschrieben, die nicht nur beeindruckende Höhen von 140 bis 180 cm erreicht, sondern auch XXL-Erträge von bis zu 600 g/m² im Innenbereich verspricht. Die Blütezeit liegt bei nur 8 bis 9 Wochen. Für den ambitionierten Züchter bedeutet das, dass eine akribische Planung des Anbauraums unerlässlich ist. Es wird empfohlen, Low-Stress-Training (LST) zur Ertragsmaximierung anzuwenden, während von High-Stress-Training (HST) abgeraten wird. Die schnellen Wachstumsraten sind ein Versprechen, doch der kluge Grower weiß, dass die Realität oft ein paar Tage mehr erfordert, um das volle THC-Potenzial zu entfalten. ​3. Aroma & Terpene: Wenn Pixy Stix auf Melone treffen ​Das Aroma und der Geschmack der Rainbow Melon sind ein Beweis für die Präzision moderner Züchtung. Die Sorte entwickelt ein "ausgeprägtes Terpenprofil", das von der Rainbow Chip geerbt wurde und durch die süßen, zitrusartigen Noten der Melone ergänzt wird. Der Geschmack wird als süß und zuckrig beschrieben, der einen Nachgeschmack von „Pixy Stix“ (süße Brausestäbchen) aus der Kindheit hinterlässt. Die dominante süße Melone, begleitet von Noten von Fruchtgelee, zeigt, wie Terpene eine geschmackliche Geschichte erzählen können. ​4. Wirkung & Anwendung: Von Euphorie zur tiefen Entspannung ​Die Wirkung der Rainbow Melon wird als „perfekt ausgewogener“ Hybrid beschrieben. Sie beginnt mit einem euphorisierenden und erhebenden Rausch, der sich sanft in einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung wandelt. Dieser dynamische Effekt macht sie zu einer vielseitigen Sorte. Die hohe Potenz der Rainbow Melon ist ebenfalls bemerkenswert, mit einem THC-Gehalt, der bis zu 30 % erreichen kann. Eine solche Potenz ist kein Spielplatz für Anfänger. ​5. Spezielle Merkmale: Ein Harz-Wunder mit Tücken ​Die Rainbow Melon ist ein wahres Harz-Wunder, eine "wahre Harzfabrik", die dichte, traubenförmige Buds produziert, die mit Trichomen überzogen sind. Diese Eigenschaft macht sie zu einer ausgezeichneten Wahl für Extraktionen, wie zum Beispiel Haschisch oder Konzentrate. Doch die hohe Dichte der Buds, die für Erträge so begehrenswert ist, macht die Pflanze auch anfällig für Schimmel und Mehltau, insbesondere unter feuchten Bedingungen. Wer diese Sorte im Indoor-Anbau kultiviert, muss die Belüftung und Luftfeuchtigkeit akribisch überwachen. Woche 1: Die Keimungwoche * Tag 0.1: Nach dem 10 Stündigen Einweichen in 1 % H₂O₂ wurde der Samen ins Substrat gepflanzt,[Easy Plug]. Das Mini-Gewächshaus musste wegen einer Defekten Heizmatte im wohltemperierten (24°C) Aquarium schwimmen. Hat super funktioniert! 😃 * Tag 0.2: Die Geduldsphase beginnt. Wir warten darauf, dass der Samen seine Schale aufbricht. * Tag 0.3: Die ersten Anzeichen des Lebens sind sichtbar. Das Keimblattpaar bricht durch das Substrat, und der Keimling in seinem schwimmenden Zuhause wächst der Aquarienlampe entgegen.😂 *Tag 0.4: Wir haben das DLI von ca. 12 auf 16 erhöht, um dem Keimling genügend Licht zu geben. * Tag 0.5: Die Abdeckung wurde geöffnet, um die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit auf ca. 80 % zu senken. * Tag 0.6: Alles unter Kontrolle. Die Pflanze zeigt vitales Wachstum. Die ersten "echten" Blätter entfalten sich. Und die ersten wurzeln haben den Easy Plug bereits durchwurzelt. Der nächst größere muss her. Das DLI wird auf 20 erhöht. * Tag 0.7: Die Abdeckung wurde entfernt. Die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit sinkt nun auf 60–65 %, was die Pflanze zum Aufbau eines starken Wurzelsystems anregen soll. * Düngung & Messwerte: Kein Dünger oder Wasser notwendig.

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

Day 165 14/10/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag today Starting to see new growth showing purple and dark tones 🤩🖤 Picture and video update 📸💚 Day 167 16/10/24 Wednesday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. I may as well make it last out this week and see how she is again. I'm thinking she may end up being a 10-12 week flower because of size. Picture and video update 📸💚 Day 169 18/10/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. She is starting to put weight behind her buds now... I went through and did a deep lollipop and defoliation because of what happens to Euphoria in my previous diary, I am not risking mould again!!! She is doing well! Her colours are coming through nicely now. Day 171 20/10/24 Sunday (End of week) Another feed to finish the week 💪 she is taking it like a champ. De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 after nutrients.

Instead of pictures showing a dying lady: A timelapse video of their whole life. Had lady #2 run under continuous light for the last days. Probably went one day too far, which caused her buds to become somewhat fluffy too, but full of resin as well.

Que lo que familia, ya de vuelta, nuestras northern light xL todavía siguen formándose nuestras flores, de las3 variedades son las flores menos compactas, NO peores, pintaza tienen de todas formas 🙈, son las mas lentas en florecer, predominancia indica, 60/65 días. Aquí tenemos la cabeza mas grande de todos los ejemplares. Son plantas que también sacan ramas laterales no muy grandes pero son curiosas. Seguiremos dando productos por lo menos una semana más y los riegos incluyen PK 0-49-32 como aporte suplementario.

Could have let her ripe a little longer and let lower buds fatten up more, but I've decided it's time now. Harvested on 09.Nov.2023-Day 70 This little plant produced a lot of nice Business just 70 days. I am very happy with Gorilla Cookies and will definetly grow it again. Thé plant loves LST and its highly recommended to increse thé yield. It felt like flower starts in week 3 but the plant continues to grow until like week 9 or 10..so high yield in short time is not just possible but likely.
