Duckies are blowing up again. They look a bit rough, that's alright to be expected from 3 weeks with no water change or nutes. First full week of nutes, with add back calmag, getting the ladies to flex.

First week of flower has come and gone. Had a slight PH problem in the ladies that with a little help from some growmies we got it fixed just before they started the stretch faze. Now I've done a small defol just to get rid of some bigger fan leafs blocking the lower growth. And cut out anything that was hindered from the dominant branches.. she should get one last defol in two weeks. And will be starting the PK regiment after next week.

11/3 - Today is technically the first day of Week 5 and also the first day I could see a visible drop in her water level since her last check-in (~12 hours apart). As a result, her ppms shot up to around 800. I diluted the solution with straight tap (7.5pH, 170ppm) since her pH was registering around 5.3. This brought her up to 5.6pH and 670ppm (1.0ec + tap, 500ppm of nutrients). I would have liked to adjust her pH more, but the water level ended up at the bottom of the basket. I'll adjust further as necessary. The other day while attempting to LST her top branches, they ended up snapping off, so I just topped her down one node and broadened her other LST to make her as squat as possible. Once I am able to find a suitable individual ScrOG screen, I will put it on her. 11/4 - I wasn't even planning on doing an update today, but I want to note a few changes. The first of which is a visible difference between her foliage density in a span of 36 hours. Her root bundle is over a foot long and getting more wound up every day. I removed her LST ties in order to take advantage of the ScrOG screen apparatus (see notes below). After lights came back on, she measured 645ppm and had another notable drop in water level. Currently, I am preparing another nutrient solution that closely matches what she is feeding on now. I will be upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket. I will be aiming for 1ec of nutrients/additives (500ppm + Tap on my meter, Hanna Primo .5 conversion). Tap measured 180ppm, so target ppm would be 680. Later that same day... So I finished upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket before I actually got done writing the update. Added one photo showing new 5 gallon setup. Solo ScrOG test mk1 - In an attempt to do a ScrOG, but maintain control over each bucket, while still having relatively easy access to each reservoir, I decided to throw together this little contraption. I removed the lowest complete segment of a tomato cage, leaving a short "tail" beyond the lower ring to act as a peg to insert into corresponding holes in the lid. The lower ring is 10" in diameter and the upper is approximately 12" in diameter. Each ring is 11" apart. I would prefer to have a shorter segment, but I haven't worked out exactly how to do this yet. I would prefer to set the screen height at around 6" above the bucket instead of 11". This will have to suffice for the time being while I let my latent conscious work out a solution or one is provided by the community. Above each cage will sit a coated wire fence with grids measuring ~2"x3", as shown in the above picture. 11/5 - Uploaded short video showing Solo ScrOG Apparatus in place. Screen height currently set to 6". Thanks for stopping by my garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!

Fucking chem og how resilient is she, for sure, she's a fighter, came back as determined as ever to pack it in some more, she didnt mind the dark, was a bit scared about the mold, so far no signs of it so let's all make a prayer for chem og, hope the taste is what i enjoy kinda fun flying blind ... but even a blind person would notice what an indica this is 😅 last week of smart proteins no nutrients added yet, just plain water and one point four bricks of shitting in my pants what a shake down my leg ! I'm smoking Dr. Grinspoon rn, and i've listened all i can to cypress hill's dr. green thumb and they say "I never grow at my home" but what they dont say is all about the rest of it lol abricots? peaches ? 🚀 dropped her down to 10/14 so she's got plenty of time for resin production now she's a stinker smells like citrus and indica, or more like indica citrus, does that make sense ? 👊

Having to constantly move the ties as each branch keeps pulling in closer together , keeping on top of defoliation starting to get a weak smell when opening the tent overall plants healthy

Day 42. General Hydroponics maxigro every other watering. Frosting up nicely.

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

Привет привет друзья как дела как настрой ??? Ну вот и долгожданный репортаж от Раста ;) неделя прошла без изменений, как обычно всю неделю поправлял ветки от 707 показывал им как надо и в какую сторону им надо развиваться, в переди ещё 3-4 недели и я уже думаю чем мне закрепить ветки так как на этом этапе шишки уже очень тяжело. А ещё они только набирают вес и силы 😍😁

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

Flush week.

Chopped the slurricane. Got 2 males from Banners Dream. I will keep them growing.... for now... really nice structure. The army is growing and doing great. Added pics of Fire OG Trimmed and Trained. Better late than never. She has already stretched.... but should grow more.. a lot more. She already has a little frost and a lot of stink. I also Trimmed and Trained Foul Mouth. And by the way she was FIM 'ed weeks ago. I don't think I mentioned it. (For any of you that might be paying attention)... 😂😂😂😂 Added video of Foul Mouth Trimmed and Trained.

Loved it!! Relatively easy going!! Couple off moments but not worth getting into but the smell!!! It’s not super strong where you smell it throughout the house when you burp the jars but she has a very (what I could only reference as sour, sweet and lemony, almost like that lemon pledge your mom use to clean the house with) smell but I love it!!!

More leaf picking just sprayed for mildew and bugs.About 7 more weeks to go here on this one

Que pasa fumetillas? ya estoy de vuelta, más fuerte que nunca este parón fue para mejor. Así que vamos a empezar abriendo el diario de nuestra critical, ya la cultivé pero no fue específicamente solo de critical, si no en general de 3 variedades , así que esta vez toca dedicarle un diario a esta generosa indica. La germinación no a supuesto un problema, de echo en 36h estaban las 6 semillas abiertas. En la germinación use PIRAMID de agrobeta para empezar con buen pie. Pasadas las 36h las plante en tierra biobizz light mix en macetas 0,4 L y encendí el ts600 de mars hydro. Las fotos son tomadas el día 5 desde la germinación, haré fotos pero solo un día de la semana , para que vayáis viendo más diferencia entre semanas . . Como siempre, el ph lo mantengo en 5.8, la humedad ronda 70/80% . Y la temperatura oscila 22/24 grados. . Ahora en la alimentación, gama agrobeta. 0,5 ml x L Piramid , vía radicular. 0,5 ml x L Growth black line , vía radicular. 0,1 gr x L Cancerbero , vía radicular. 0,1 ml x L Tucán , vía radicular. 0.1 ml x L Flash Root , vía radicular. 0,4 ml x L Great Green , vía foliar. . Esto es todo, cualquier duda que tengáis comentarme , y que paseis muy buenos humos .

Quick update I know I been MIA..diary label xmas tree got deleted after losing the mother tree(die back)and about 80 cutting(weather) 1 of the cutting which I took before from the mother that died is the mother to set 1 and 2 (29)...took some cutting off of set 1 (30) jus waiting to see how rooting goes...mother tree jus hit the 2nd week of flowering will update with pic in week 2

good plants for hydro grows they dont stretch too much, buds need support because of the weight at the end. i run in a little calmag issue because i went overboard with the bloombooster around week 5. this caused a lockout top leaves got effected by this other then that i had a huge yield.

My choice of grow medium at this point seems to be spot on, I am holding my breath looking for signs of weakens and besides not really watering this week, this medium retain water well, does not clog up like normal soil, I love how the pig manure acts like pebbles and it retains those pebble balls though watering erodes the manure, it helps with air flow within the root system, and the added plus is I turn the soil, almost on a daily to make sure it’s always, fluffy and moist, not wet and clogging soil. Unknown alike Monday nee an operation, just need to buy a bag of compost so I can elevate them so the can get better airflow, plus I do not want to poke hole in their pots, though I am going to stress them out badly, I will get to see how good my homemade nutrient boost works. Regardless of this con, Unknown is growing with a lot of promise, let me hope and be patient that my LST will encourage that required new growth.
