Seed was put in a glass of water on the 2nd of January 20:00 (8PM). Around 15h later it sunk to the bottom and I transferred it to a wet paper towel inside a zip. Around 51h later (so ~36h inside zip) the seed had not yet opened. I am a little worried, but at the same time not because I've looked up what the pro's say and some of them don't even look at the seed until after the seed has spent at least 48h inside the paper towel. I will be patient and wait for the seed to open. After the seed has opened I will be even more patient and let the root grow for a bit. I have grown 2 of these plants in my lifetime and first time was really good, second time was very bad, and the second time I planted it when the root was ~1mm long. I will not rush things this time. I will also be careful to not let the root grow too long. If I'll have it my way, then I'll be planting this baby tomorrow evening, so in a bit less than 24h from now. If I have to reschedule then it will probably be planted on the 6th of January. Worst case scenario: We have to restart with a new seed. Bless you. Update 5 Jan 2022 17:29 (05:29 PM): We have a root! The seed has opened ever so slightly and the root has grown more and more during today. I want the root to grow a tiny bit longer before I plant it. I will take another look before bedtime. Update 5 Jan 2022 20:43 (08:43 PM): Root has not grown much since the last picture, will plant tomorrow. Update 6 Jan 2022 10:05 (10:05 AM): Will plant later. Root is too short. Update 6 Jan 2022 15:00 (03:00 PM): Root is still shorter than I had in mind but my patience has ran out and I think it is still a fine length for the seed to do really good. I also have very good soil for her with claimed great amount of nutrients for seedlings. When it gets large enough I will transplant her to a 11L pot. The 11L pot has been filled with more than 11L soil. Probably around 15L. By the way, the plant has a name, her name is "Satan" but is referred to as a "she". Update 12 Jan 2022 18:00 (06:00 PM): We have a sprout! I saw the sprout some hours ago. I am sure that I planted the seed quite perfectly in the middle. However, the sprout happened very much to the side. I suspect that there was something in the soil that might blocked the sprout. So far it looks like we planted Satan on the 6th of January and we got a sprout on the 12th. I will consider Satan to be in germination stage until it grows a little more. Then I will treat it like she's in the vegetative phase. ----------------------------- SUMMARY: Day 1-21 in Satans life has been so wonderful. Not a minute goes by without me feeling euphoric about her. Every day when I wake up I go to the grow-room and tell her good morning. I hold her largest leaf between my thumb and index-fingers to hold leaf (hold hand) and we just hold leaf together for a few seconds while I admire her beauty. She is so absolutely gorgeous and kind and she is also very happy with her environment. I already have another plant in another grow-room which also is a Northern Lights and I have kept a diary of her as well, just not on growdiaries.com (everything is kept in a Word-document). This other plant is called Kim, named after Kim Jong-Un. Kim and her diary is going to be utilized as a "roadmap" for Satan, so I should know what to expect and when to expect it. I also did a few mistakes with Kim, such as water too much or let her grow with way too much nitrogen in the air. Satan will instead be the best grow I have ever done - hopefully. I thank you all for reading and joining me on this adventure. Kim and Satan says hello!

flowering day 59/"FD59" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): ... the final 1-2 weeks with only water/no feeding :) flowering day 60/"FD60" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): i just uploaded a video 😎 flowering day 61/"FD61" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): early today i spotted four banans/nanners (first row right) und two banans/nanners (first row left) in the 80x80 240W tent on two plants in the (closest to the camera) first row. Cause they are nearly finished i decided to crop these 2 plants. They look really beautiful and purpled very much., I think the reason for the purple is that that they where the closest plants for the fresh air within the airflow and it was sometimes a little bit cold. I am a little bit frustrated cause the quantity could be 50% more but this time i am pretty sure that the LED panel was too close and/or too much power (95% powered 2x 120W panels). Next time i will use a new tent and plan to spend more time for the hole air and carbon filter setup. This time i had not enough space to raise the panel higher... Maybe the spide mites attack in the early flowering stage was also a factor. flowering day 65/"FD65" (flowering week #9 since 12/12): just a few shots before the final crop in ~1-4 days 😎 Summary for the next grow: 1. next time i will raise the LED-panels distance higher and reduce the power to 80% in the late flower 2. buying a better 80x80 tent 3. i will use poison in the last days of the vegetative phase again to be 100% sure that mites&thrips have no chance 4. four plants in 11L pots are enough in the 80x80., Otherwise it is hard to keep care of the plants in the last row. This will make the veg-phase longer (training) but i think the better airflow and more space are really better 5. next time i will use a scrog-net again... handling to stabilize the buds every day is too much work 😂

14. Woche, P1 fällt morgen, die ist soweit gut denke ich (ca. 20% aufwärts Bernstein Trichome). P2 braucht leider noch ca. 1 woche länger. 93. Tag ist für P1 das Ende, sie wurde heute vorgetrimmt und zum trocknen aufgehängt. Ergebnisse gibt es wenn die P2 auch geerntet wird, denke nächste Woche um die Zeit. Aber eins kann ich euch versichern, is mit Abstand die schwerste die ich ist jetzt hatte😊🍀🍀. Gebt euch auch mal wie viele Trichome die gute produziert hat, Duft is noch sehr pflanzlich, Blüten sind ziemlich fest gewesen hoffe das es nach dem trocknen noch so ist. Alles in allem super Run. Hoffentlich is die gute bei den Top 10 das wäre ein träumchen, wobei ich es wirklich jedem gönne zu gewinnen und bei soviel starker Konkurrenz geht ich wahrscheinlich unter. ABER was ein geiler Contest trotzdem, hier ein dickes fettes Dankeschön an Zamnesia und Plagron für die Möglichkeit hier überhaupt mitmachen zu dürfen 🙏💙💜 98. Tag , werd die gute am Samstag/Sonntag je nachdem wie ich Zeit finde, umlegen und zum trocknen aufhängen.

There's a blank week, sorry about that. There are detailed pictures and explanations of the current situation. At this point, the older plant seems to be doing fine. However, the younger plant's growth has definitely slowed down. Suspecting potassium deficiency, that's why I increased the nutrient amount. But K deficiency might not be the only thing that's wrong. My pH levels should be fine, got a new meter and did calibrations regularly.

09 May 2021 Today starts the 15th week of my grow, and the 6th week of flower. Just over a month till the scheduled harvest, and today the nutrient amounts change according to my feeding chart. So today feeding went like this: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml. Today we aren’t using any of the FloraGro, and won’t be for the rest of the grow. I chilled the water again, but not as long this time and the temperature of the solution was 56.3 degrees F. I thought it odd that the website doesn’t allow for entries lower than 50 degrees in that block, but oh well. The initial pH was 5.89, and I added pH UP 2.5ml which adjusted the pH to 6.53. The runoff pH was 5.63. Lower than I want, but still within range for a healthy plant. Temperature in the tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was at 53%. The plant looks great, and is maturing quite nicely. 11 May 2021 Today was a busy day! My DarkStar Kush is doing very well! The smell is starting to get stronger and the buds are fattening up as well. I’ve noticed some mild nutrient burn on some of my leaf tips, but nothing terrible. I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure that they don’t get worse. I haven’t really made any adjustments to the nutrients lately with the exception of increasing the FloraBloom by 2.5ml’s, and stopped using the FloraGro in accordance with my feed chart. Feeding today went as follows: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom at 15ml. The initial pH was 5.85, so I added 3ml of pH UP to increase the pH to 6.52. The runoff pH was 5.65. I finally received my TDS meter today, so the TDS reading was 1070 ppm. My feed chart says that the ppm range in looking for is 1050-1400 ppm, so 1070 puts me in that range. I chilled the water again today, and it was 46 degrees F. The temperature in the grow tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. So far so good, and I’m starting two new diaries today for some clones I was gifted by Buddabud, so check them out. 13 May 2021 Just when I thought I was on cruise control with my baby here, she throws me a slow curve. The question is; will I hit it, or miss it? The light nutrient burn that I noticed in my last entry on the 11th has gotten just a small tad worse, but nothing terrible. I believe it’s not from the feeding, but the build up of nutrients in the soil. I finally got my TDS monitor as I noted the other day, so I tested the ppm in the runoff and it was over 4000. Then, as I was shaking the excess water off the end, the end cap for the battery came off and the whole monitor plunged back into the water completely submerging for a moment before I could get a hand free to grab it. It’s been sitting in a bowl of rice since yesterday. I just hope it dries out and keeps working. I need to see what the TDS of the soil at this stage is supposed to be and then either keep going and damn the burn, or maybe feed with pH’ed plain water for a feeding or two and then see how it reacts. I’m still deciding, but will research first before making my decision. For today I kept to the feed chart. I gave the following: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 5.92, so I added 2.5ml of pH UP which raised the pH to 6.47. That is what I fed the plant. The TDS reading of the feed solution was 1036 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.63. Tent temperature was 79 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. I have just about 4 weeks left in this grow till the scheduled harvest. 15 May 2021 Today is the last day of the 6th week of flower, and I’m going to try and arrest my mild nutrient burn on my baby. I’ve decided to just give water and CALiMAGic today properly pH’ed to see if it does anything to improve the situation. I wanted to have a significant amount of runoff today so I fed 1.5 gallons of water with 7.5ml of CALiMAGic. The initial pH was 7.60, but adding the pH DOWN is much different than adding pH UP! I initially added just 0.5ml to the gallon of water which lowered the pH from 7.60 to 4.9. I was like, “DAMN!” 😳 so I had to pour it all out and start over again. I learned through research never to mix pH UP and DOWN in the same solution. If it’s wrong, you need to start over;!so I did. After 3 tries and lots of wasted CALiMAGic, I finally got it right by only adding 5 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to get it to 6.64. The TDS meter dried out and still works, so the TDS going in was only 403ppm. Like I said, I wanted a lot of runoff to try and clear out some of the nutrient buildup in the soil. The runoff pH was 5.58, and runoff TDS was 3803 ppm. Daytime temp was high today at 86 degrees F, and humidity was 31%. She looks good. She smells good. I hope she stays good! A few weeks left till harvest!

So far so good. All 3 plants look healthy and are growing evenly. I've used 5gr of Micro Vita directly in the soil, rather than when watering.

well short of it is, i overfed boom mix and now there is a K toxicity which always expresses as a magnesium deficiency. So I decided to give the plant the magnesium it needs to process the K. Plants look like they are recovering already. NEVER FLUSH if you are growing organically.

Late vegetative phase over and the plants are preparing for flowering. I gave the plants grow nutrients for last time and i switched the LEDs to bloom mode. I slightly decrease the RH and i've boost the ventilation so more air could move within the tent.

Black Strap and Peach Crescendo getting close. I see they will get cut way before the Fat Bastard. Fat Bastard must have a long flowering period. But branch structure is thick. I will get a heavy yield from it. Peach Crescendo has so much frost on it. Ethos fkn rocks! Black Strap smells like baked cookies and gas.

From a seedling she was the straggler after 8 weeks from sprouting she really picked up with healthy foliage. After 4 weeks of topping her steady rapid growth with no deficiencies . She gives broad and dense. Her aroma is sweet spicy and citrusy. All in all as long as you give this strain a steady balance of food inoculated with tea a couple of times she’ll do you proud

Week 2 and the clones are starting to veg nicely. Got some nice roots starting to develop in the nutrient solution so hopefully over the ne t week or so I should see some nice growth. Couple of the older fan leaves that came with the clone were starting to do more damage than good so decided to strip some and I'll do the others over the next few days Day 10 Uploaded some more pictures of the root system these babies are developing quickly. Next feed/water change is due tomorrow so I'll up the white shark powder to help aid the root growth and I'll also increase the fulvic acid to 2mm per litre of water Day 11 Added some shogun sumo boost at 1ml per litre and increased the cal mag 3ml per litre and increased the great white rooting powder to one and a half spoonfuls. Ok so now the plants they are looking nice and green the newer leaves have a really healthy smell of chlorophyll the older leaves that came with the clones look a bit worse for ware but are still doing more good than bad so they will stay for now. So I tried some kushman chiropractic techniques to increase strength and nutrient transfer. The first one my stomach was doing flips I was so nervous I thought I might snap the stem completely but all was good the plants dropped a little but have started to recover after only half hour in the tent. I will repeat this process once a week on the new growth Day 13 Started to use sumo boost foliar spray at 1ml diluted with 1 litre of ph 6.5 water. Cut off some more of the damaged leaves and they are all looking back to good health after the kushman chiropractic treatment Day 15 Got myself a ppm meter and checked my reservoir as I haven't used one during the grow I was expecting to be around the 450ppm mark but to my surprise it was at a lovely 380ppm. Solution temp is now constant at 22.2c humidity fluctuates between 55%rh and 73%rh Day 18 so I've added two carbon dioxide bags to the grow room to give these ladies a little extra boost. Nutrients and temps have all stayed the same. Now the plants they are all growing well some better than others but that was to be expected considering I'm using clones that where half dead when I got them. So I stopped the plants and did a little defoliation Day 20 New spider farmer ts2000 has arrived and what a piece of kit it is currently got it set to 60% will be keeping an eye on them to make sure this is not to intense for my girls. Viper 300 carbon filter kit installed and I'm very happy with the filter and the fan supplied got my intake fan set to about 20% to give a good airflow through the tent all in all very happy with my upgrades. Now the girls as you can see they are getting bigger and have bounced back after the second chiropractic treatment and the topping I did to them. I've moved my two 1000w led lights over to one side of the tent to give the coco experiment a bit more light. Not sure if I mentioned this but my tent I's 8ftx5ftx6ft. Please feel free to give me any feedback. Happy growing guys

Scrog netting is becoming a challenge, I am trying to fill bottom right corner but the plant continues to grow in all directions. The areas that are filled keep growing, I have stopped topping and keep tucking. I have put 4 clones in the corner because I do not want to wait anymore as my 2x4 will get too big during the flower cycle of this tent. Turned off light and will keep off for 48 hours, officially starting the flip into flower cycle. Plants look good, no issues so this is the perfect time for me. Wish me luck, I hear this strain loves to really stretch. Fed nutes at 50%, they just got off a lockout so taking it easy, they'll tell me when to up the feed.
