Fractal week 18 & 19. 7/28 - 8/4-10 I am late for my outside ladies diaries updates. Life has been getting the best of me lately. I’ve been packing my daughter’s room and moving her things to her new home. For those that have followed my since my beginning here, Cancer left me with neuropathy and arthritis in my hands. I can no longer do my glass fusing or flame work. To close this chapter of my life, I’ve been inventorying glass, tools, equipment, molds and supplies to sell. The most stressful has been appealing Medicare claims and receiving the second denials on the same claims. They are the last payer of record so good luck getting any reimbursement you are entitled to. My apologies to all of you for being so brief on your diaries and not providing many comments. Photos are from 7/28- 8/9 for both weeks. For my outside ladies, Opium, Auto Opium, Fractal, and Lemon Cake not much changed. They continue to live in sweltering conditions. Temps are in the upper 80-90s with humidity over 105. In addition to the heat, Hurricane Debby started up the coast but was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it got to us. Expecting our normal thunderstorms, I waited til morning to bring the ladies inside. Overnight, we had wind gusts of 25mph. Yeah, then I brought all gals into the house. The photo gals are strong and with thick stalks were able to withstand the winds. Both Opium’s got blown over Auto Opium is thin and spindly and before I could save her from the winds and rain, she got whipped side to side. The top 2 feet bent hard one way and the top 6 inches bent the other direction. The pics show my attempt to bandage the damage 😟 to her top cola with chopsticks and electrical tape. I top dressed all ladies with Bloom Soil for organic fertilizer. Buds are fattening up, trichomes are minimal at this time but some fragrance is starting to be noticed. Thank you @DivineSeeds Thanks for the visits, likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love💚. Have fun & love what you grow 💚 Sending you good vibes of love, light, and healing 💫 💫Natrona 💫

Day 85. Girls looked ok till i saw budrot !!! Sunset Sherbet went to bin. Was biggest from all ... on last visit i saw bird poop on her, maybe its aftermath of nute burn ... ;))))) Apples looks very long and stretchy by bud structure, in other words more bubble hash plant than for smoking. Purple is going nice and steady, just no purple colours ;)))))) Overall girls can go without care, but results will be small, they needed better light , forest overtook surroundings, needs good clean up, but its not my land ;))) Think 20-30 g each is around what i will get from rest. Happy Growing !!!

week went we'll feed them molasses and Alaskan fish fertilizer. they seem happy the smaller one have made a big come back from almost loading it .i can't wait too see the flower start stacking. I also have been leaf tucking too get more light on side shoots

We are nearing the end of this journey with the 5 White Widow Autoflowers from ILGM genetics During week 12 Continued watering with regular PH'd water every 2 to 3 days. Checking tricomes with a jewelers loop every few days. The plants are smelling super potent now coming into week 8 of flower! Buds are super resinous and extremely sticky. Week 13 Last week before chop! The plan is to see how the plants look nearing the end of week 13. My current grow tent is the same tent I use to dry so this may get tricky! ILGM has grow time listed as between 10-14 weeks so Im right in that final phase. Stay tuned for up close shots of the final stage of these plants. I will include final photos, wet weight, and final dry yield in upcoming posts. 👽

Raspberry Ripple Number One and Two (Flowering Plants) This week is the final week of Flower, I am noticing milky coverage on both plants and some amber trichomes as well. I gave the last watering today of distilled, dechlorinated water, with no P.H. Adjustments at 7.2 PH. I plan to harvest April 11th. Number One Pheno- The Number One Pheno is fully swollen and ripe now. The colas are densely stacked on the canopy. The foliage is quite over-faded, with some leaves being so dried out they crumble to the touch. I don't know if this is because the plant was in a bit too small of a pot or if my light was a little much these final weeks of flower. It is definitely ready for harvest! It's smells are still heavy in the raspberry candy department, with those hints of earthy leather on the back swing. Giving the number one pheno a very unique musk. The resin is greasy and plentiful! I can't wait to take this one down and trim it up to see how it looks in a jar! Number Two Pheno- The Number Two Pheno held out a little longer in its 5 gallon pot, it's a bit smaller of a plant. It's about 65% faded now but it's trichomes look finished! It's trichomes are very stacked out and coat this plant in a snow film! It may look a little boring next to its sister color wise, but it still sports some purple and pink hues under all the frost and I still think it'll be a worthy smoke as well! It smells of a raspberry wine but with that hazy fruity power. Almost like a strong mimosa strain. Clones- The larger clones in the 55 inch 2x2 MarsHydro veg tent, were starting to drink through water quickly! Mostly the larger number one phenos. Which would consume the entire dryback of their full pots in one day. I transplanted all the plants in the 55 inch tent into square pots (2 gallons for the Number 2 Phenos, 3 gallons for the Number 1 Phenos) this should hold them over for 3 to 4 weeks, so I can harvest and dry my flowering plants. I was unable to transplant the clones in the smaller Mars Hydro 30 inch Clone Tent, due to space constraints. I'll be feeding them worm castings and Down to Earth Crab Meal tomorrow. All the clones are looking healthy and look like they would be great candidates for flowering or mother plants. Tech Upgrade- This week I was able to purchase a Photobio Phantom Par Meter at a local grow shop's going out of business sale. With this tool I'll be able to get a dead on map of my light intensity and adjust accordingly. This will be great to have when setting up my new HLG Blackbird next cycle. I also got some 15 gallon grass roots fabric pots to try in the flower room next cycle. I also reached out to AC infinity and have an upgraded Cloudray S6 Gen 2 Oscillating Clip Fan on the way. My Gen 1 fan broke and would no longer oscillate correctly. AC infinity replaced it free of charge with the latest model. I think that about sums up this week! I'm very excited to take these plants down and begin preparing for next cycle. I was extremely lucky to get such amazing results of my first Pheno hunt. I can't thank Mosca Seeds and Tiki Madman enough for selecting such great crosses. It's hard to believe I got these two seeds as a freebie pack, with another order. I'm super thankful to have Grow Diaries to use and rely on for charting my week to week data, questions I have, and comparing my findings and results to other growers with similar strains, like @THCpapa grow of Raspberry Boogie! Thank you for checking out this week's entry of my growdiaries! See you for the harvest! -Starfish

Hello everyone 😎 Week 7 of flower for the Orange Sherbet auto from Fast Buds 💥🍊 She grew fast with a beautiful green color,for the nutrient 4ml/L terra bloom & 1ml/L power buds from Plagron Spider Farmer SE-7000 80% Have a nice day 😋

Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Buds stacking slowly but surely. Will be a semi late finisher but it's ok, that's y I got the greenhouse. She has a crazy unique smell that's hard to describe. I'll pry give PEV another shot down the line. Especially outside since they are so resilient.

This week I had some problems with the electricity .. Now everything is fine, and the plants are fine .. They have resumed their normal growth .. Another 4 days and I will switch to flowering

Harvest Time! Meine absolute Lieblingszeit beim Growen! Nachdem die Lady ca. 1 Woche ohne Wasser war, wurde sie unten am Stamm abgeschnitten. Daraufhin hab ich mir erst mal die Pflanze angeschaut, ob sich irgendwo Schimmel gebildet hat. Gott sei Dank blieb sie davon befreit. Die Pflanze an sich wog etwa 320 g. Die kleineren Triebe wurden abgeschnitten, und die Buds daraufhin nass getrimmt. Die Blüten weisen einen Mix von Grau/Lila/Grün auf. Sehr schönes Erscheinungsbild! Die Buds bringen (inkl. Stängel) etwa 192 g auf die Waage. Der nasse Trim etwa 45 g (Tara von etwa 5g wurde hier abgezogen). Bin natürlich gespannt wie viel trocken auf die Waage kommt und vor allem wie sie am Ende schmeckt :D Die nächsten Wochen kommt dann ein smoke Review inkl. Trockengewicht! Vielen Dank fürs mitverfolgen und bis zum nächsten Mal! Gruß Wulle

She really seems like she's filled out this week! Must have liked the flush last week!

Woche 3 - Tägliches Gießen und weitere Düngerzugabe In der dritten Woche wurde die Wassermenge weiter angepasst, um dem kontinuierlichen Wachstum der Pflanzen gerecht zu werden. Ab dieser Woche wurde jeden Tag gegossen, wobei die Menge bis Ende der Woche auf 0,45 Liter pro Tag erhöht wurde. Es ist nach wie vor nur ein Ventilator im Einsatz, um die Luftzirkulation zu gewährleisten. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit wurde weiterhin durch Tücher und Teller reguliert, indem täglich 500 ml Wasser verwendet wurden. Am 27.04.2024 wurde die zweite Düngerladung verabreicht, diesmal mit einem Verhältnis von 30 ml Canna Terra auf 10 Liter Wasser. Das Wasser hatte einen EC-Wert von 1,28 und einen pH-Wert von 5,9. Die Pflanzen zeigten keine Anzeichen von Nährstoffmangel oder -überschuss. Am Ende der dritten Woche hatten die Pflanzen bereits fünf Noden entwickelt und wuchsen mittlerweile täglich um knapp 1 cm. Die Pflanzen sahen weiterhin sehr gesund aus und waren auf einem guten Weg, kräftig zu gedeihen. ENGLISH Week 3 - Daily Watering and Continued Nutrient Feeding In the third week, I further adjusted the water amount to support the plants' consistent growth. From this week, the plants were watered daily, with the amount increased to 0.45 liters per day by the end of the week. There was still only one fan in use to provide air circulation, and humidity continued to be regulated manually using towels and plates, with 500 ml of water daily. On April 27th, 2024, the second dose of nutrients was applied, with a ratio of 30 ml Canna Terra per 10 liters of water. The water had an EC of 1.28 and a pH of 5.9. The plants showed no signs of nutrient deficiency or excess. By the end of the third week, the plants had developed five nodes and were growing about 1 cm per day. They remained very healthy and were thriving.

Greetings from Russia to my comrades! I was busy with work for a long time and could not deal with my diaries. Now I'm free and ready to devote every day to my plants. I have a lot of plans. My mom is coming to the end of 6 weeks. She feels great and cheerful, develops well, visible progress. While I do not train him, and give him free growth. I gave my plants the enzymes, together with the chief stimulator and the main force, Then I fed the plant folic acids under the root and on the leaves. Soon I will make my girl an intimate haircut. And in a few weeks, I'll be making the third tier of the pot.

STRAWBERRY PIE AUTO (FASTBUDS) WEEK 5 My first solocup grow, so it's a new experience. Good color! I had hoped for some branching atleast. (Though my other plants currently in 3gal pots are branching just fine)

none of this bank has given me an abundant harvest hopefully it can be commemorated with its taste smell and knock out

Picking the odd leaf off but it's pretty much just doing its own thing other than having to feed her . She smells really nice with lots of bud sites and has some visable trichome production now .

Let’s go day 43!!!! Week went real well , girls started preflower so sometime this week I will be switching up the nutrients for flowering! We are stable and looking super healthy! Can’t wait to see what these ladies do this week! Hope you all enjoy !

B2 is stacking on some serious weight and continues to grow.. it wild. B1 is forming buds similar to my last run which turned out nice. Excited to try these buds out already. About another month or so until harvest.

Day 60 today! It says from harvest to seedling 67 days, but it’s lookin pretty good? The top especially, The bottom seems to be more clear I’ll move a light around and try to get it facing that way. She’s had plain water for the past week. She smells so good! I’m super excited to taste it and see an end weight! 🤩 💨

9/10: Coming along nicely...the big Amnesiac is the biggest seedling in the garden. 9/11: I waited to long to transplant them and they have root problems to some degree or another...too wet for too long. I transplanted all but the smaller Amnesiac and Lemon Cream Kush into 3 gallon pots, and those two went into 2.30 gallon pots. About 50% brownish roots on all but the smaller ones. 😕 I powdered the planting holes with myco, tricho, and other goodness. I added two Mars Hydro 150w lights, and a 60w 6500k LED panel light since they are all spread out now. The average CCT is still a little over 4800k, even though the Mars are a little warmer color temp than the Viparspectras. 9/12: Between the root problems and the transplant, they looked horrible, so I sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray today and will do a good root drench tomorrow with BushDoctor Boomerang. They looked better by the end of day, but still have a ways to go to get back on track. 9/17: I fed them boomerang only twice this week, and also fed them kangaroots yesterday. They are all looking strong, and branching well. The big Amnesiac is impressive. Great structure and amazing vigor. The LCK is finally starting to look like she belongs in the same crop. I'll prolly flip to 13/11 with emerson effect in the next couple of days.
