How ya doing mates?? Awesome week last week - all photos and logs have been added so be sure to check it out! This week is going great so far! I've switched to an early vegetative state nutrient system. As you'll see in the daily logs early this week, this bumps up the micro and grow nutes, and keeps the bloom at 0.6ml/gal. A quick note about last week - I'm unable to update the measurements, but please note that those nutrient amounts are measured in ml/gal, NOT ml/l. Anyhow, this week I'm just waiting to get my order of diatomaceous earth so that I can make up another batch of soil. I'm still debating between topping this week before repotting or letting them take root in the new pots first. Decisions decisions lol. I think at the very least I'll clean up some of the lower growth to make sure the energy is being spent at the right places. I've been switching back and forth between just LST and mainlining in the past - but I think I really like the ease and cleanliness of mainlining. The draw back is the recovery time they take in the process haha. UPDATE: The D.E. has come in, and I repotted the girls this week. I mixed in about 1.5-2 cups D.E. for the whole pot, as well as some Bat Guano and Kelp Meal for micro and macro nutrients to use on dry cycles. I've also included some photos of the mother plant to give an idea of what's to come! I've just started to flower it, which is the first time for this strain - so I'm pumped! Day 15: M.C. 01-21 After reviewing the last set of photos from last week, I figured I'd play it safe and dimmed the light back down to 25% strength. The mother plant is almost ready for flower, and I'm down some tents so she'll be taking this one over shortly. These photos were taken shortly after the lights went off, and they look quite happy! You can see some of the side branch developement in today's photo for MC-01. The pots are fairly dry now, and I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. M.C. 02-21 A nice top photo for MC-02, you can really see the lighter green in this photo. Not to worry though, as these will darken back to a vibrant green as long as I give her what she needs shortly! The pots are fairly dry now, and I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. M.C. 03-21 Look at that little leaf poking out from the 2nd node! Some slight yellowing you can see too, but again, not to worry. The new mix should rectify that. I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. Day 16: M.C. 01-21 Today is the day - for the mother! I've cleared out some space and moved plants around. So back out to the grow room these girls go! MC-01 seems much better today with the reduction in light. The 5th node is almost flattened out and the 6th coming through still. Most notably though, you can really see the work she's put into the side branches! The branches at nodes 2 and 3 are starting to produce more leaves - great sign! The new growth at the top is also a nice dark green. Added 500ml water to the tray. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 seems to have liked the adjustment of light as well. She's got nice dark green growth at the top, and the little branches at the 2nd node seem to have a full leaf! Added 500ml water to the tray. M.C. 03-21 The photo from today is cool, because you can see how close MC-01 & 03 are, even though there's almost a full node difference. MC-03 is stretch out a bit to compete with her sister for the light haha. She's also put some more effort into the side branches that you can see. Added 500 ml water to the tray. Day 17: M.C. 01-21 I figured a video would be the best way to illustrate the changes today! They've been back in the grow room under the Veg dedicated light for a day now and seem to be loving it! MC-01 has its' 5th node out, splitting the 6th node, and I can JUST see the 7th node coming in. I don't think they'll get too much more height, as you can see that the side branches are starting to stretch now! She's definitely going to be well tangled in the roots by the end of the week when I hope to repot her. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 is doing great despite the difference in height! You'll notice the side branches stretching out at nodes 2 & 3. The pots are also still fairly wet at their center, so I'll hold off on water most likely. At least this clone will have time to root more while we wait for the supplies! M.C. 03-21 MC-03 also has great side branching! If you take a look at the group photo from today, you'll see that both MC-01 & 03 are practically the same height, but MC-03 snuck in there by the stretch haha. Day 18: M.C. 01-21 My order of D.E. came in last night, perfect timing! As you can see, her roots have fully reached the bottom, and have started to migrate upwards with the water that's absorbed. The soil was a little dry for my liking, which made things a little difficult/dusty but still no mishaps! Watered around the root-zone before covering with more soil to keep the gnats down. M.C. 02-21 Not quite as much lateral root growth as MC-01, but still plenty enough for a repotting! Her soil was a little dry as well. Ideally I should have given them a light misting from the top of the soil and let is drip down to keep the dusty bits together haha. M.C. 03-21 Nice and thick root growth, no issues with repotting, and strong stalk. The extra spacing in the nodes may prove to be helpful during the training phase. Day 19: M.C. 01-21 Some nice top shots today as they slowly get acclimated to their new homes. Once I see them push out a new node, I'll probably top them. This is to make sure that they're taking to the new pot without causing any extra stress before they can take it. Today I watered them with an early veg nutrient. I like to stay cautious with nutrient boosts since they're in soil - not to mention the added nutrients from the repotting. M.C. 02-21 Top shots for the girls today. Not much change, but also no immediate signs of shock either, so I'll take it. M.C. 03-21 You can't really see it in this angled shot, but the small branch at the second node is coming along nicely! I think the girls are happy that they each have their own tray not haha. Day 20: M.C. 01-21 Definitely noticing some slow changes to the top nodes when comparing the pictures from the previous day. The leaves are slowly starting to separate, and I'm not noticing too much yellowing yet which is good. Watered with 500ml water to keep water migrating upwards to meet the roots. M.C. 02-21 Not noticing much change in this girl today, but that's okay. She's most likely focusing on the root developement instead which I can't complain about! Watered from the bottom. M.C. 03-21 Maybe seeing some separation in the top leaves, however more notably are the small branches at the 2nd node that you can see better here. Still a bit of stretching with them as they get longer. I might even keep them on for clones later on. Watered from the bottom. Day 21: M.C. 01-21 Looks like she gained some distance last night, as the top node is now above the fan leaves, unlike 2 days ago. I'm really getting eager to top them, as I don't want them to waste too much time and energy growing tissue that I'll just end up cutting off. I'll be bumping the nutrients up starting next week to keep the progress going, moving to a mid-veg stage shortly. I'm going to let things dry up tonight for a fresh boost of water tomorrow to give it a dry cycle as the pot is still a bit heavy. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 really worked hard last night it seems, as she almost completely flatted out her top leaves! I think she's ready for a topping, but I'll let her benefit from the headstart and let the other two catch up and root before. dry cycle for her tonight as well. M.C. 03-21 MC-03 was busy last night too and is now slowly flattening out the top node as well! Maybe tonight they'll have enough progress to go topless afterall haha. Dry cycle in prep for watering tomorrow.

They are getting fatter each day, as you can probably notice one of them is showing real signs of stress with brown spots and dead yellow leafs. I am adding Calmag this week and making sure Ph is set, will most likely only water them and add calmag. I think next week will be the flush and then harvest. Still trying to battle humidity, hopefully I get a dehumidifier this weekend and manage to reduce it a bit. Hopefully no mold -_-

I've been slacking on here, too much going on. 😥 ended up giving the outside one away Day 74 since sprouting Week 6 of flower Have rearranged almost every day since last update! Currently and hopefully until the end, she's in the 2x2 Spider Farmer with Seedsman Northern lights Auto. Had to raise light as far as it would go.

Apple Strudel Auto - FastBuds Hello welcome to my new Growdiarie, nice to see you again. Today I will start my first indoor grow and take you with me on my journey. Since I was able to gain a lot of experience through my outdoor grow this year, the first indoor grow will be much easier. The reason for this is that the parameters for an optimal grow are easy to influence. As in the previous grows, I decided to use the water glass method for germination. After about 48 hours the seedling root formed. The germination process was carried out at a temperature of 25° Celsius near a heater. The seedling was planted approx. 1 cm deep into the 25 liter pot. This time I used soil from Plagron. The pot was filled with Plagron Growmix. At the end I filled a hole the size of a 1l pot with Plagron Lightmix so that the seedling does not come into direct contact with the pre-fertilized soil. Plagron Lightmix N 180 mg/L - P 210 mg/L - K 360 mg/L Plagron Growmix N 216 mg/L - P 252 mg/L - K 432 mg/L This time I will also work with fertilizer. I have two different ones to choose from. One is the mineral Plagron line (Terra Bloom, Sugar Royal, Big Bud, Greensensation) and the starter kit from Advanced Nutrients. As the soil is pre-fertilized for the first 3 weeks, it does not receive any additional fertilizer during the vegetative phase. After the first 3 weeks I decide which plant gets which fertilizer. At the end i can draw a rough conclusion as to which fertilizer series has performed better. The experiment is carried out with different varieties. I will also try tie down LST. Set-Up: Now a few words about my setup. I have full confidence in AC Infinity. During my research, I have only heard good things about AC Infinity. So what can I say? When the package arrived I was immediately impressed by the high quality. From the packaging to the product, everything is perfect. I ordered the lamp from kingbrite. The advantage of the lamp is that you can adjust the angle of the LED panels. The lamp is also compatible with the controller using adapter type b . Tent: AC Infinity Cloudlab 844 Exhaust air: AC Infinity Cloudline T6 incl. activated carbon filter Lamp: Kingbrite P55 / 480w, dimmable Fan: AC Infinity Cloudray S6 Gen. 2 Controller: AC Infinity Controller 69 Pro Pots: Gronest 25L

This week has been all about shaping the plant. I’ve learned from last that the colas weren’t the same height, because I let the plant do it’s things with just a bit of training. Now I know what to look for so I’m trying my hardest. I top dressed this week with crab meal, Gaia green all purpose 4-4-4, insect frass, kelp meal, bone meal, azomite, and covered it with a healthy serving of worm castings (about an inch to 2 inches). All of which was sprinkled on all the chopped and dropped leaves/branches. I believe in adding biomass to soil, especially for an indoor growing who is money conscious. Doing that can help save me money going back to the store for more soil.

I had to harvest by layers due to height of the plant, so the harvest took time from day 88 to day 115, but the outcome was for sure worth it. This was may first indoor grow and presumably last for some time, but I took some great notes nevertheless. :) I would like to thank fast buds for providing me with this great genetics. I will for sure try some next next when the opportunity rises.

Happy Weekend Friends, After another mixed week i gave her the chop last night on a dry and windy evening. Shes reached her fullest and was ready. I would just like to say thank you too @DutchPassion_Official for letting me take part as i've really enjoyed this grow and watching her beautiful flowers develop. She grew like a champ despite terrible weather conditions and this a strain definitely suited to the UK outdoors. I did find a bit of budrot in the main cola and one of the others which i managed to cut out, but given the amount of rain sustained its hardly surprising and overall she stood up really well. Trimming took ages as this gal is really dense with a high leaf to calyx ratio, but im left with what seems to be a really decent amount of solid purple 😊 Just got wait for this baby to dry now and then il give the final weight and smoke report in the coming weeks. Until then i hope you've enjoyed this diary, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

Hello, fin de la semaine 2. Quelques petits problèmes pour bien gérer mon EC, du à une eau vraiment très dure. Au niveau des arrosages, je suis passé à un arrosage tout les jours depuis quelques jours, les plantes semblent apprécier. Elles ont repris de la vigueur, à confirmer avec le temps. Voilà pour cette semaine. Happy grow...😎

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.

Growing strong and tall. Decided not to train to see how it goes. This pheno is more indica dominant judging by the leaves and node spacing. Will flip into flower soon and takes a clone! Happy growing 💚👍

So as am coming close to my first proper grow , well kinda “first” Am trialing my soil mainly than growing First grow was testing environment Current grow testing pot and first batch of custom soil 3rd grow testing upgraded version of pot & 2nd batch of soil which will way outperform this one or be totally shit 😂🧑‍🔬 Overal cost in lecky is under 2oz Overal cost of nutes per plant about street price of a gram if I do more than 10 grows & distilled water My main consideration for hands off approach is humidifier that shit needs refilling every 2-4 days depending on usage Soil batch 1.0 is growing some mixed clover, alfalfa, chamomile its light mix ratios comparing to upcoming one.

Hey everyone :-) This week the buds have grown again 😅. I'm glad that I went up a bit with the fertilizer 👍😂. But you can already see the effect that I could have fed better in week 3-6 🤦‍♂️🏻. Have paid too much attention to the Ph and Ec meter and thought as long as it climbs by itself, they no longer need gedacht thought bottle :-). Well, they'll still be standing for 2 weeks, then they will be harvested :-) Since I already know the clone, I know how delicious it will be. Build it smells now 😍. This week I will consider which mother I will cut for the next aero pass :-). I wish you all a good start into the week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow ☘️👍 Type: Blue gelato 41 clone from mother (Barney's Farm) ☝️ Genetics: Blueberry] Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies x Sunset Sherbert 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 Flower lamp: 2 x Todogrow LED CXB3590 55 W 1 x Sanlight S2W 62 W 💡 ☝️ Aero System : Aero Growtool 0.8 ☝️ Fertilizer: Canna Aqua Vega A + B , Canna Aqua Flores A + B , Rizotonic, Cannazym, CANNA Boost, Pk 13/14, Canna Cal / Mag, Canna Ph - Grow, Canna Ph-Bloom ☝️🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EG.

I have been vegging these plants for the last 1.5months.they will be getting flipped to flower immediately. They sit at 19" and had a slight issue while vegging. I believe I missed watering with Epsom salt and they developed some leaf spotting. They were approx 25" tall and were pruned back about a week earlier and allowed to recover. Removed most older leaf growth with the spotting. I will be running veg nutes for the first week or 2.then switching to flower nutes.

Experiencing what seems to be my first nutrient lock out. Bought a soil ph tester from homdepo its reading 7.0 so that what bring me to that conclusion on top of the slower growing and the slight yellowing around the leaves. I was being cheap and using the liquid ph tester that comes with the ph up and down and im regretting now seeing my plants in not the best condition. Im ordering a better ph pen today i used the vivosun one the i currently have got the water to 5.8 checked the run off and its at 6.2 hopefully that helps. Saturday im going to top dress and water at 5.8 aging and im thinking that should put me back on track Any advice i could definitely use some tips and pointers
