D42 - Today is the first day in the sixth week of veg for #2 and the fifth for #1. It has been six days since the first topping for the first girl, so I went ahead and topped her for the second time. I kept a couple of clones from her this time since she is so vigorous. I also had planned to do the third and final topping on the second girl but knew that I had to buy some more soil staples first. However, this morning a red warning showed up in my Corona warn app. It's the first warning I have ever gotten, but I'm triple vaccinated, of course, and I was wearing my N95 mask for this five-minute exposure, but I want to act responsibly and quarantine for a few days, just in case. So I improvised with BBQ skewers and some electrical tape. The skewers won't hold that well, but the branches are still small, so it shouldn't be a problem until I can venture out again. The cover crop was getting a bit unruly again, so I cut it back again. Finally, I gave both girls around 1.2-liters of water @ pH 6.3 and added a couple of qtips with peppermint oil to deter pests. D43 - I gave each girl about two liters of compost tea that I started brewing yesterday. A bit soon, possibly since I watered them only yesterday, but I needed to feed the girls in the other tent, so these girls got some as well. D45 - Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh! Thrips have found their way into the tent. Lately, I've noticed some discoloration on the older leaves but haven't thought much about it. Today though, it was much more pronounced. I took out my loupe and microscope, and sure enough, I could see thrips larvae. Ugh. I ordered some predatory mites immediately to help with the problem, but they won't get here until a few days, and I want to start fighting the infestation as soon as possible. So, I went out shopping and picked up some pure alcohol, chili flakes, and a spray bottle. After soaking the flakes for a couple of hours, I strained the mixture and prepared a 1:10 solution with distilled water in the spray bottle. I removed all older leaves that were affected most and then sprayed all the remaining leaves, taking care to get them soaked on both sides. This chili tincture is nasty stuff, though, and I was coughing like mad, and the snot was flowing like a spring-river. Next time I'll wear a mask! I also sprayed the clones outside the tent and the Chocodope girl in my other tent, just in case. The Colorado Cookies girl is in flower, though, so I couldn't spray her. She has no sign of infestation, but I'll treat her as well with the mites when they get here. D47 - I resprayed the girls yesterday with the chili tincture to ensure I got to all the little critters, and today, the predatory mites arrived. I hung one sachet on each plant, and I hope that's the end of the little buggers. D48 - The end of another week of veg. The second girl thrives after her third topping, and I will do the third and final topping on the first girl in a couple of days. Once that is done, I can install the scrog net. As for the thrips, I can still see larvae, but they are far and few in between. Hopefully, the predatory mites will soon make short work of them. I haven't even flipped yet, but there are already flowers in the tent!!! Alfalfa flowers that is :D

🗓️ Week 9 complete – 5th week of flowering This week was all about keeping an eye on the drain EC values – and compared to the others, Seriotica handled it much more smoothly. 🔹 Seriotica Last watering: ~1.0 EC in → Drain 1.51 → 1.67 EC She reacts a bit more sensitively than the MACs, but overall still looks healthy and balanced. Adjustment: → Slightly increase base nutrients to ~1.2–1.3 EC → Keep supplements at 30–40% of the schedule 🎯 Goal: Stable drain around 1.6–1.7 She’s taking in nutrients cleanly, without major salt buildup – definitely on the right track 🌱 And the best part: Trichomes are ramping up week by week – things are getting frosty ❄️🌸

Gave water at 6.5ph will feed on week 3. I think I've had the light to close. On day 10 pictures you can see the leaves look like there burnt 🤔 or that's what I'm guessing it is. I've raised the light to 1meter it's only at around half power at the moment and showing 21000 lux.

So langsam wird’s richtig schön hier Bisher mein optisch sauberster Run – sonst hatte ich immer mal wieder kleinere Verbrennungen durch den Dünger. Zwei meiner Mädels sahen anfangs etwas mitgenommen aus, aber haben sich super erholt. Ein paar Blätter haben nur drei Finger oder zeigen leichte Verfärbungen, aber insgesamt bin ich mega zufrieden. Ich freu mich schon richtig auf die nächsten Wochen und bin gespannt, wie sich alles weiterentwickelt 🙌 Falls jemand Anregungen, Tipps oder einfach nur Liebe da lassen will – gerne in die Kommentare ✌️💚

The girls have gone through a lot this week 😬After a couple of days of LST, I let them recover for a few days. Once they were looking perky again, I decided to top all three. Day 31 - topped the girls after some deliberation. I had been undecided, ultimately figured that it was best for my situation, whether or not I decide to use my DIY scrog screen. For those unsure of when to top, 5 nodes or true leaf sets seems to work for me. Find the shoot at the very top, make sure it’s got some small shoots on either side started, and snip! It’s that easy. Topping will disrupt the hormones being distributed through the plant instead of the top, and force your plants energy and growth to the lower branches. Not to mention you will now have two main tops growing instead of one 😎 Give the plants some time to recover before doing anything major again, and you should he able to see your plants get bushier instead of taller. Once they were topped I bent and worked all the stems and branches between my fingers making sure to get all of them. As you can tell from the main stalk, the twisting and bending works, she thicc already! I also put their wire ties back on and bent all three over as far as I could get them to go comfortably before feeling like they would snap. This was a lot of stress for these girls, but they have shown they have a great stress response, and recover quickly. Can’t wait till the weekend, my big tent will be cleaned and ready to go from my last harvest, they are growing so fast! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Closing thoughts. Damn easy plant to grow responds well to training have fairly uniformed plants only on kept the purple trait but that's ok we can selection breed for that. I am happy I decided to go this route with the breeding the girl scout diesel really complemented the mother plant

Dear Diary Autos are looking good. Suffering from low RH and im doing all that I can, but winter is a bitch. Plants are healthy and female, so all is good. These girls will start to rock as the natural RH picks up over the next few weeks xoxo, BudXs

Day 71 - Day 24 - 9/23 - 24.5" only 1/2" today, I'm taking that as time to do a defoil - I did the defoil, it was quite a bit. Nova enjoyed sleeping in the leaves! - 309ppm @ 6.1 ph, 4000ml runoff was 460ppm @ 5.5ph. - Will start Green Sensation tomorrow. Day 72 - Day 25 - 9/24 - 25" - First day of Green Sensation gave 3ml today along with 2ml cal mag, 2ml bloom and 2ml slf. (not in that order lol) - 334ppm @ 6.0 ph, 2000ml, Runoff is 408 ppm @ 5.8 ph. - Starting to burn, probably from my 400 ppms last week Day 73 - Day 26 - 9/25 - 26" - Same feed as yesterday, 2000ml, runoff 422ppm @ 5.3 ph. - I think I found about her ppm likes LOL low 300s Day 74 - Day 27 - 9/26 - 26.5" - Raised cal mag to 2.5 ml today, seems to be showing a bit of wanting lol. - 2.5ml cal mag, 4ml GS, 3ml bloom. 371ppm @ 5.9ph. 2000ml, runoff is 428ppm @ 5.6ph. Day 75 - Day 28 - 9/27 - 26.5" - increased cal mag to 3ml today. - 455 ppm @ 5.8 ph, 2000ml @ 5.7ph - thought I would try to raise her ppm a bit...we'll see what she says Day 76 - Day 29 - 9/28 - 27" - Same feed as yesterday, 3000ml, runoff 535ppm @ 5.4 ph. - Okay, so she doesn't like me trying to raise the ppm, her ph is even lowering now. I'll go back down Day 77 - Day 30 - 9/29 - 27" - looks like her final height aside from bud growing up lol - 381 ppm @ 6.0 ph. 4000ml Runoff is 458ppm @5.5ph. - I need a lower ppm, will lower cal mag and Flush tomorrow **She had her defoil and she looks really good! Love it, so does my man, Nova LOL. Just enjoyed himself in the leaf fallout. She was starting to have some tips burning, so why i decided to increase cal mag and ppm...i have no idea lol. Whatever, going back to normal now and after my flush tomorrow I'll get her back down to a lower ppm.

Hi all growers, Day 64 Last week of big bud and last two week of fertilising, then two week opf flushing for the baby. I decided to add calmag to reach a ggod ppm, and aptis regulator because olants are really stressed from the olight intensity in some spoot and i hope to make it stronger. Let's see what's happen now. Day 66 She absolutely needed calmag. I gave 0,5/1lt twice and I already can see the difference in leaves. I think I ll give 0,7/1lt next time. I broghut ppm to 950 last time. I desire 1000 ppm for last weeks of fertilising. today: with ph 7 Ppm 1150 Day 69 Today has been the last feeding day for this lady, i just checked with a micro and it looks like i ve got 15/20 days max left. So from day 71 i'll start flushing with ph controlled water at 6.2. today: -ph 7 ppm 1050 Less then 3 weeks now :) ANY SUGGESTION IS WELCOME :)
