Quick update just to upload some photos, but unfortunately I don't have many relevant news to report. Leaves are yellowing, but I can't understand if it's senescence or lack of nutrients. Since she's not gonna finish within the next 2 weeks, next week I'll add some nutrients in low dosage, which shouldn't be a problem since the runoff is more or less 250 PPMs. This week there are some videos too! 🎥 Day 136: 9L of tap water (PH 6.5). Runoff: PH 6.8, 256 PPMs. Day 139: 9L of tap water (PH 6.5). Runoff: PH 6.7, 245 PPMs.

The last week of vegetative state. Some of those are pretty dense, they look like salad. Maybe adding a bit of blue to this 80 CRI LED is a good idea to get a bit more elongation. Work a lot on LST tonight. I'm trying to make some clone with a technique I've seen long time ago. I put the cube directly on the plant. I remove the skin surface of the branch before putting the rockwool cube around . All cube are wrap in plastic to avoid excessive drying. No hormones. I will wait one week before cutting those clone out of the plant( thats my dead line before flowering). They all receive 200ml of PH 6.5 water this morninig and 200 more this afternoon. Next watering in the morning tomorrow, Working on ESP32 wifi based co2 meter for controling co2 level in the next grow. =============== 2020-05-26 =============== Everybody receive 300ml of ajusted 6.5 water. Adjusting LST and adding some defoliation. Watering clone/cube with 5.5 ajusted water with blunt top a seringue. ========= 2020-05-27 ========= Trying to water 3X day the clone/cube with 5.5 ajusted water with blunt top a seringue Everybody have received 125ml in the morning. Worked on the low cost wifi Surge protector 6 space smartbar. 15AMP@120v https://mygeeni.com/products/geeni-gn-sw003-199-surge-smart-protector-white/ Found a way to get rig of the cheap stock firmware. Flash it with a alternative firmware(tasmota) using wifi/without any opening/soldering. Those are pettry nice , timer capable, you can remotly control and monitor them After setup you can acces the bar using the small web interface or via a MQTT server and home automation software. I've posted a image of the result for those 2 examples. So im thinking to turn this into a tutotial to help grower to acces flexible technology and software at resonable price. You can comment to signify your interest in this! =================== 05-29 ================== Everybody back on water until monday/switch to flowering. Added some tutor for the next stage. Moved the cam for top view I cleanup/defoliate the bottom of each plant.

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

Venga familia, cosecha de estas Sagrada Amnesia de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya estaban para darles machete. Que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte llevan una capa muy resinos y son prietas, aparte son bien aromáticas huelen bien fuerte afrutada sobre todo, con toques terrosos. En general es una genética con la que disfruté bastante cultivarla, la genética es un clásico que para cultivos de floración corta media con rangos entre los 20/25 grados en interior, es normalita al cultivarla y bien resistente, es excelente para cultivadores principiantes. Hasta aquí es todo, agradecer a Mikele, Giorgio de Seedstockers, y al equipo Agrobeta por hacer posible estos proyectos espero que los disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

This week was about pushing in to full flower. I am more than happy with the size, reaching a meter in length and in width. The side shoots caught up beautifully with the main cola and we have a lot of bud sites with great spacing.

Big tops! She's got a lot of rocket colas thanks to the training techniques that were applied, she smells exactly like her sisters, very sweet and floral, I'm starting to feel the cherry 🍒 notes on the smell of the buds, very good strain to grow, only 2 of the 5 phenos are 100% percent purple but tje other ones show purple on the leafs like this one because of the cold temperatures

Runtz Female 7Lpot & 7 weeks. Ready to clone in the next few days. Week 7 of the Green Sensation test. Mother plant is growing at an extremely low rate, its focus was on leaf growing so over the week. I starting removing and the plant is starting to take shape. I think I'll be able to grab a nice pair of clones in 5-7 days. Days 42-46 Slowly over the past few days. I took all of the fan leaves off 1 set a day. Kept the feed low to not stress her. Hopefully I can get 2 good clones. Keeping everything simple as stated in the past few weeks. (If you want more info read back.) Ppm kept between 3-350 and master root, etc. All detailed in detail. Day 47-48 Plant has finally started growing its nodes. The two top ones are ready to go. didn't remove any leaves. I'll veg this for 4 more weeks and flip. As I've said before. This one will be kept on Xpert Nutrients. Day 49 Pheno is doing well. Amazing growth the past 24 hrs. She's coming into a real stride. I'll take 2 clones ready to start the Green Sensation Day 50 2x clones have been removed. 20% off Zamnesias entire catalogue of seeds:ZAMMIGROW2024 20% off XPERT NUTRIENTS/KANNABIA with code:GGST 20% off Oringal Sensible Seeds with code:

PS: I need to buy a dehumidifier to keep the humidity level lower. Doubts: I'm still not sure about the amount of water in the irrigation, however the technique I try to keep is 2l of water per plant every two days as it is the time it takes to dry and ask for more water.

Day 36 I've just tightened up the LST and watched them grow. Tomorrow I'm gonna feed them cause the soil is dry enough. At least 10cm beneath the surface. Day 37 I've watered each one of them with: -2L pH 6.2 water at 20.5°C with -1ml/L Biobizz Top-Max -2ml/L Biobizz Bio-Bloom Run off was 700-850 ppm pH 6.3 Day 38 I've just watched them. Day 41 I've adjusted some LST and a little defoliation again because they are stretching now Even if they look a little bit small I'm happy so far with my first grow. I still have a lot more to learn and it is a never ending journey i guess. Thank you for passing by to check my diary, I do really appreciate it. Happy New Year to you all and you beloved ones.

Hello. This is the end of week 13 and the beginning of week 14 of veg. Got plants going outside and inside with this strain. 6 in the greenhouse and 3 in the grow room. The twins look good. I got in the greenhouse yesterday and did some training. I got Plants #5 and #4 spread out and I will get in here tomorrow and spread out the rest. Still planning to start flowering in a couple of weeks with the help of the10 x 10 tent in the greenhouse. I've got a 15 gallon reservoir in there with hydroponic lines to each plant. So they get a bit of food for each of 6 days and I clean and refill on the 7th. Ok. Happy Smoking. Chuck.

420FASTBUDS FBT2106 WEEK 6 The two of these are growing very interesting. One is stacking and bushing up quite nicely and the other almost completely opposite. There's alot more stretch on the one and very weird flower formation. I'll let it grow and see what happens but not sure really what to expect. Very pretty color purple on the one but temps have been super cold this past week as we've had a blizzard come through so I put a oil heater in the tent as it was getting way to cold and had me worried. Happy Growing
