**3RD UPDATE** looks like my work pairs off a little. My babies have grown tremendously. Day 12 and I feel pretty good about how things are going **2ND UPDATE** I ordered smart plug for my outlet where my grow tent is pulling power from. I have my lights automatically turning off for 4 hours everyday from 12-4, while is still in vegatative mode **UPDATE** so, my grow is coming along fine, but I think it could be better. I’m noticing a lot of week 2s from journals of the same strain, and mine looks either a little behind or a lot behind, depending on soil/soilless. I think my light distance has a lot to play with it. I had my light relatively high, almost 2 and a half feet above my plants. I dropped it down to about about 18 inches, as low as possible, while still covering my grow area. If anyone can provide any advice or opinions, it’d be greatly appreciated. I hope this week will be a lot of growth, fingers crossed.** So, it’s officially week 2 of my grow. I’m pretty excited! I have 3 Six Shooters growing....all 3 germinated,,,2 are growing and reaching, 1 is a little behind, though I’m not too concerned about her. They all are growing their 2nd pair of leaves, and I don’t expect much activity this week, although I will still try to update daily. I had a great Saturday, wake n bake sesh...then I took some of you guys advice and went to my local hydroponics/garden store....and realized quickly how much I was spending online vs shopping local. On top of that, I got a nice 30 minute lecture from one of the staff about everything. To my surprise, they start seedlings and small plants there too, aside from basil and your other herbs, if you know what I mean. So they have everything a gardener would need! I was told to transport gradual sizes....basically....like I’m planning to use 3 gallon pots right? But, I can’t go from my seedling container to a 3 pot gallon straight like that. It’s bad for the plant and extremely risky. You’ll have to water that whole pot, but with the seedling or small plant only having so many roots, it would end up basically flooding the plant out. So you move up gradually. I’ll get back to that later. The soil I was using was extremely basic; Lowe’s soil, and vermiculite mix that I blended 2 parts to 1, respectively. It was a good enough medium to sprout my seedlings and get them started, but I knew I needed more. So the guy helping me hooked me up with a 2 cubic feet/15 gallon bag of Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soil. I told him I was on a site (ours) where the community is pretty interactive/helpful and how I was concerned about transplanting because of the risks...He shows me this stuff called Myko, which is a root enhancer. He then transplanted a basil seedling to a larger container. Before placing it in the pre-made hole he created, he sprinkled some Myko on the roots AND in the transplanting hole (? I might have made that term up). It promotes root growth and enhances root strength as well, which not only counters transplant shock, but pretty much puts your roots on steroids. I bought a bag of that. When it’s time for flowering, I’ll be using Strawberry Fields potting soil. I went ahead and purchased other containers as well, up to the 3 gallon fabric pots which will be the plants’ final destination. I told him my water feeding schedule, water every day, water/notes on alternating days. He was a fan of it, and suggested that I go a little further and do my days like this: FEED, FEED, WATER, and so on. I purchased Cali-Mag to make sure I have enough calcium going on. I went ahead and got a PH kit as well, to make sure my water and nute days are both within 5.5-6.5 pH. I slick felt like I was in high school science/chemistry all over again lol. I went ahead and bought coated metal flower support wires for LST. He did mention doing “supertopping”, but forgot to show me on a plant. Basically, it’s gently bending the main cola back and forth until you can have it bent in a ways to where you can maneuver it under netting/lattice to allow other cola to get equal/adequate energy and/or growth. I’m paraphrasing this shit, so by all means, correct me. I’m just hoping I can help someone else. I transplanted my plants to GroPro Square 4 x 4 x 3.5 plastic potting containers, and used the Mykos on the roots and soil. I then watered my plants with the water/CaliMag solution, and placed them under the grow lights again. I’ll add pix and vids to my entry shortly.

Will update with all the in

Day 1 Never grown before, but always liked plants. Especially plants like these 😊 Seeds came today. Only one will be grown for now (Bloody Skunk Auto). The seed was slightly scraped (purposefully), and then placed in distilled water. Seed sank to the bottom with a little push after 6 hours. Hopefully that's a good sign :) Seed was then taken and put into rooting medium. Currently lights are on 24/0 to warm the area surrounding the seed. Tomorrow temperature/humidity measurement will be set up. Day 2 Was able to measure the temperature. It's about 22 C. Natural humidity is a bit low in the area (35%), so a humidifier is being used occasionally to increase that. Seed has sprouted now (15 hrs after being put in the rooting medium), maybe in two days there will be some real growth 😊 Day 3 Root looks like it's off to a good start. Positioning seems a bit off though. Will keep an eye on it for the next couple of days. Day 4 There was a surprise waiting today 😁 Plant pushed through the piece of sponge at the top without a problem apparently. The light has been switched to a 125W 5500K CFL, for now without any reflector. A bit worried that this might be too strong, especially for a seedling. However there aren't other 5500K or higher Kelvin value lamps available, so going with this one for a couple of days. If there are problems, will go back to just a collection of 2700K bulbs and hope the plant survives haha. Got a heating pad, so now the temperature is being kept around a comfortable 73-76 F. Night temperatures should drop to around 66-68 F. Lighting schedule has been switched to a 20/4 schedule, to allow for better plant development. Will probably stay with this schedule for the first couple of weeks. Could also see the taproot poking out of the Root!t sponge. Not sure if that's going to bad for this root to be exposed to light at this stage. Once (if) the leaves start to get wider than the Root!t sponge the plant and sponge will be transplanted to a small 1 Liter pot. If the roots continue growing but the plant stays stunted then it will also be transplanted. Andddd....got nervous about the 125W lamp. Decided to switch it out for the previous lights (two LEDs, two CFLs, all at 2700K). Total lux value is about 10000 measured by the seedling. Seemed also like the seedling might have been craving some water, so gave it a few drops. It hadn't been watered since being planted. Hopefully not over-watering here... Day 5 Seedling has grown by another centimeter. Leaves haven't really changed that much. Nevertheless, decided to put the seedling in a slightly larger container. The cup was taken and filled with some potting soil (Compo Sana Anzuchterde) and the Root!t sponge put into that. Did this because the tap root was poking even further out of the sponge and didn't like that. Gave some more water, mainly in the lower section of the soil. Will not water again for a few days unless it seems really too dry. Don't want to over-water 😑 Day 6 Seedling doubled in height. Starting to get concerned about stretching. Read conflicting information about the optimal humidity for seedlings, but most seemed to say that less was better, and a humidity dome not necessary after sprouting. One source suggested that seedlings stretch when under a humidity dome. So that's been removed. Switched to the 125W lamp as well in case the seedling was stretching because of not enough light. Added a fan for a breeze to occasionally move the seedling...hopefully this will make the stem a bit sturdier. First set of leaves has begun to develop a bit more..but it seems a bit slow. Might just be being impatient 😄 Day 7 Not much has changed. Soil is getting to be dry enough where watering again should be ok. So that will be done tomorrow morning, with a small amount of BioBizz RootJuice.

relaxing and enjoying the show almost at max watts SPIDER FARMER SF2000 is now maxed out at 207w , 16"-18" from the plants and I will need to keep up with pruning to allow more air flow and more light to penetrate deeper into the plant. 2, 6" oscillating fans on 100%, may be on low or just one stationary but at this point in the grow air flow is a MUST, specially for the thick, dense vegetation of the OG Kush. trying my hardest to stick with the 4" ventalation til the end of the grow. Right now I have to replace the exhaust ducting due to tiny pin holes leaking more than a bit of light.

Day 65 past nutrition problems I believe have slowed growth. unfortunately on a plant I think I have problems with the compaction of the soil which has caused too much irrigation. the plant does not eat and a little slower than the others. now after 4 days to dry i will give only datpo water which seems to burn for nutrients, i believe brought about by the fact that they are deposited in the soil. all in all they continue to grow and hope for the best! 💚🌱

Day 9- A little disappointed with the sprouting process but I will move on and try to do my best with what I have! Day 14- Transplant day/ DWC / 5 gallons Low's Bucket/ 10 inches Net Pot / (GENERAL HYDROPONICS WATERFARM FARM KIT WATER RING + Air Stone)

I really liked FastBuds genetics.It’s a pleasure to grow Blackberry. Thanks to FastBuds, Growdiaries team, and thank to everyone who follow my grow report, love u all, Peace!😘

Welcome to my Frosted Guava Auto Diary Sponsored by Zamneisa. Days 71-77/78-81 Flower Days 25-31/32-35 Flowering days 50-55(since started pre flower till now) Plant is growing well. The top is at to starting to throw out pistils, (foxtailing, I'm not sure if it's due to stress. Or just invigorating) as the tops are starting to equal out and fill out. Funnily she's at to bulking up. Very frosty, bit of an earthy musky smell. Gonna leave her for a few more days under my SF-1000 to finish her off. Will hard flush in the next 24hrs with 4 others and they'll all go under my later stage ripening light "SF-1000" !!!!!!!HARVESTED!!!!!!! Edited, ( decided to add my harvest wk and merge it into this viewing week. She is a very odd duck. She just kept pushing out clayxs. Built on sugar leafs and very airy. But, I'm not at all put off by that. The buds are very frosty. (Foxtailing) due to heat and extra stress from a hard push at the end. Some FOXTAILING for a 2x trichomes production in the last week was worth it to me. I'm gonna hold off on rating for a few weeks after the cure, as it's not the most pleasant smoke atm. And after 3 days curing it has gotten a lot better. Bit dank earthy and musky.. have yet to get a sweet smell. I've only had a 1 skinner blunt and it got me high. But I had already smoked other an hr before. So, I'll give true rating in a wk r 2. HARVEST PICS AVAILABLE DIET Has been a mixed bag. But the past few weeks I've been pushing plagron natural line, and a few of their top products. Atami have been used at the end. As was plagron & Terpinator. So, I've nothing to compare it to. Edit Has just been on water for wk 12. Lights Spider Farmer SF-1000 / Viparspectra P1000 2 X 100watts Mars SP/FC 3000 SP used through most of grow. And then the FC 3000 was used for late stage of flowering & ripening.

Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino x Ruderalis 70I-20S-10R So far no nutrients in the water as of yet. Starting to stink around day 19 of flower. Nice smooth skunky smell. Not exactly skunk. But smooth and sweet. Heat is not as bad but still pretty bad. pH is good. No visible signs of pests* or pathogens. *pests* little fruit fly looking bugs that don’t land but hover around. And a tiny spider trying to catch them. Web production from this spider has been extremely minimal, and when present, only existing connecting from leaf tip to leaf tip; On the fan leaf tips furthest away from the center. I haven’t removed the spider as it appears as an overwhelmingly insignificant problem, in fact: maybe a potential deterrent from other unwanted pests, like a protector/guardian. Either way I easily clear away any webs with my hands without even feeling or noticing anything. I think in the video, he is blurred out of focus on a leaf tip. Anyways. If the lil arachnid gets closer in towards the buds, I might consider moving him, but he is literally staying all the way to the outside perimeter of the plant. He is very considerate.

Crazy stretch.pistils shooting out everywhere👌🏿

Not good week

FW3 10/25/24.

Giorno 46

Hello fellas!🙌 Here again with a late update, all pics are from yesterday (6.2.16 Monday) so D.64 first day of w.10 On Sunday gave them their tea. receipt is above. Mephistos are sticky, Fastbuds are rock hard. They have problems but they are growing nicely I'd like to tell tell some fancy words like "there are couple of weeks more to chop this beauties..." and etc. but don't have any idea 😂 watching and learning...Some have few ambers, checking ambers from pics and trying to figure it out when sweet end will come... Yeah, there is a bonus pic. a DIY rosin press, i haven't done any concentrates before :D it's name is "QUICK DAB" This lil monster can press 250kgs (550 lbs) 😳 Waiting for WhiteChem, she looks OK for pressing 😛 Damn she looks so frosty see you on next update guys Peace!!
