Tag 25: Die Fat Banana scheint klein doch sie versteckt noch ein wenig ihre Arme. Sie ist sehr kräftig. Tag 30: Ich beginne mit LST und scrog.

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

The girl has experienced some interesting changes outside this week, from +30 days to +3 nights, but it seems she is still thriving. I have done a main flower cut because I am going on vacation and will leave the girls alone for 10 days and therefore I don't want them to grow out, it all depends on the weather conditions :) good luck to everyone.

May 21st - start of week 8 flower for the A.G. & C.G., they have their own deadlines approaching so there will be some pics shortly of the trichome status on all 3 plants. - a week behind the other 2; BlueGod has a shorter schedule and is under the spotlight now that its been flushed - a/c & dehumidifier are now in service and I will be getting the bugs out of the system re: “limits” with fans, temp & humid targets, heaters etc. - just giggling about how beautiful all if this bud is. Something has gone incredibly correctly this grow. *** FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER THERE ARE NOTHING BUT REALLY SOLID NUGGETS ALL OVER THE PLACE !! That, is a first - flushed plant will receive waterings w/ Rezin & Molasses till harvest. -going to push a.g. & c.g. with one more big feed tomorrow. ~ 6L ea. May 23rd, - often i make little comments about how small each of the plants are; and 1 of the key reasons for that... is that I only Vegged the plant’s for 5 weeks, and then still controlled height with HST... these plants are and have been an amazing grow, but next time they get Bigger b4 the Lites go Out !!! May 24th, Trichome images required a little bud from each plant. And the Acapulco & Colombian plants are the furthest from harvest, but both did show a few Amber trichomes. Together I shredded the 2 (a.g. & c.g.) buds and put them in a hot dry place for the day. After dinner and on a whimsy i rolled them up & did I ever get stoned/baked from a couple small buds from the adolescent plants. Famous but young, and did they ever Kick. That was so inspirational from a couple of legends. Cannot wait for a special harvest and a critical cure ! May 25th, the number of Amber trichomes on the Acapulco absolutely lead it directly to a flush on Thursday evening. End of week 8 in Flower. Hopefully the amber sweep is not too aggressive, it would be nice to milk this one along until the leaves are golden... - And of course, the Colombian is just Soo damn full of crystals. Clear crystals with equal amounts of Cloudy ones and a flash of Amber on the Fringes. CG gets flushed in 9-10 days as per the schedule. We’ll see what happens May 27th, - woke the Acapulco Gold up early and gave it a good shower ~ started its day early with 24 gallons worth. The feeding ingredients above are still the same for the Colombian Gold - 2 Flushed plants; will be fed as required with water containing 2ml/L Rezin & 2.5ml/l Molasses

This week still raining......... Fertilizer this week 1) Monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4) 45.7 grams with 500 ml of water + Mono-ammonium phosphate (NH4H2PO4) 45 grams with 500 ml of water. Mix both together and use only 5 ml per liter of water. 2) General root stimulants 1 ml per liter of water. 3) 4 eggs mixed with 1 tablespoon brown sugar + 4 tablespoons curd. Mix together.then lived it for 1week .Then used 2.5 ml per 1 liter of water. 4) Calcium nitrate {Ca (NO3) 2} 3.5 grams, mixed with 1 liter of water, set aside. Prepare a mixture of 3.5 grams of magnesium sulfate and 3.5 grams of boric acid mixed in 1 liter of water. Then mix all 2 liters of liquid The ratio used to put plants is 3-5 ml per 1 liter of water. 5) EDTA chelate 1 ml per 1 liter of water. 6) 0.5 grams of amino acids per 1 liter of water. 7) Bat manure.

All plants are doing ok so far. Gave all foliar sprays of BT as there is pest pressure elsewhere in the garden. Supported the tall ones for for a windy day with 20-30mph gusts, they took the wind like champs. Wedding cheesecake the oldest and is starting to give a hint of sweet funk sometimes. Update: While checking plants today, Wedding Cheesecake had a brownish bud (bottom branch). I snip it off, no other affected sites. I will be checking diligently now, as weather has been very hot and humid.

And it looks like they didn't mind that much going to the hairdresser as they keeps on drinking the same and evolving at the same pass. They are all becoming beautiful beast ladies and im loving them all in diferent ways , so far the mor advanced one is the somango followed by the water melon followed by the no idea what it is seed and in the end e have bruce banned, im loving t he fact that they all started same time and that they all are going to finished different, this means i will be trying me second harvest plant smoking my pervious one 😝 . They are all drinking using the autopot system but the no idea what seed is not so im Daly giving her 2,5 liters from the autopot reservoir ,it sucks but its ok at the same time hehe eit is what it is and im not thinking on leaving anywhere, so i can easy do that every single day hehehe kind a lovit any way but dont tell anyone, its our little secret 🤫 😆💚🙏🙏🙏 As always thank you all for reading and checking out my diaries, im humbled by it all, much love to you all 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚🙏 Thank you APTUSHOLLAND for having faith in my love for growing and for always being there wen my gardens need 🙏🙏🙏 Genetics : - watermelon candy - Zamnezia Seeds https://www.zamnesia.com/ -Somango Glue - Advanced seeds https://advancedseeds.com/web/ - ?- buddah Seeds - Bruce Banner - Fast Buds https://2fast4buds.com/ Grow tent - 4x8, but using 4x4 for this Auto Test Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO Food - HAPTUS HOLLAND Filter - vanguard hydroponics Falcon Filters Extraction - vanguard hydroponics 560 m3h control - Trolmaster All i grow is medicine for myself, for me and for my best friend with is me 😆 nothing to sell, so don’t even ask 😅💚💚💚 All info and full product details can be find in can find @ https://aptus-holland.com/ https://autopot.co.uk/ https://lumatek-lighting.com/ #aptus #aptusplantteck #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #growerslove With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing in return and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚💚💚 More info and updates @ https://growdiaries.com/grower/dogdoctor https://instagram.com/dogdoctorofficial https://youtube.com/channel/UCR7ta4DKLFMg2xxTMr2cpIg 💚💚💚Growers love to you all 💚💚💚

Ok so had a good week approaching week 5 of flower for the rest of the plants the large critical mass that's a few weeks ahead of these has now started to be flushed checked the trichomes looking nice and milky so will flush that one over the next 2 weeks and continue with the feeding schedule of advanced nutrients for rest of the baby girls

2/6 - Reservoir EC 1061, PH 6.1 at 5:30pm. 2/7 - Reservoir EC 1061, PH 6.2 at 11:00am. - Today I did an inspection of the girls and Sweet Baby James is a confirmed hermie and the damage has been done! She has opened pollen sac's in a few different spots and released her pollen, some directly onto my fans 😐 Looks like I'm in for a seedy harvest, oh well. Long Shanks is still stretching like crazy! She is now 64" tall (5' 6"). She has at least tripled in size since the flip. She is also now starting to form some nice flowers too. 2/8 - Reservoir EC 1061, PH 6.2 at 9:00am 2/9 - Reservoir EC 1057, PH 6.1 at 10:30am 2/10 - Reservoir EC 1125, PH 6.1 at 11:00am. - Surprisingly no sign of pistils fading/shrivelling. All pistils are still white and sticking straight up. I'm praying that Sweet Baby James is shooting blanks 😉 haha. Will keep a close eye out for signs of pollination. Sweet Baby James is still growing like crazy! She's nearly at 6 feet. Over twice the size of her "sister". 2/11 - Reservoir EC 1085, PH 6.0 at 6:00am 2/12- Reservoir EC 1087, PH 6.1 at 10:30am - Pistils are still showing no signs of pollination. Now I am starting to get my hopes up that Sweet Baby James is an infertile hermie. I really hope I'm right. Long Shanks is still stretching!! She is turning into a tree and quickly running out of space in her new, much larger home. Hopefully she's about done with her insane growth spurt. I would say she has quadrupled in size since the flip, maybe more! 2/13 - Reservoir EC 1104, PH 6.1 at 6:00am

Week 9 : Day 59 : Hey all So week 9 started and some of the lady’s are bulking up , like Westcoast O.G and some of the Strawberry Pie . But the Westcoast O.G in the picture gonna be first one to harvest and also gonna give me some fat dense buds , i can see that clearly 🤤. About the Gelatos I am a bit dissapointed cause all of them 3 are like normal plants with no strong structure or a big yield sign . I hope the taste gonna prove me wrong cause I like this strains , one of my favorites . I also can’t wait to try this Westcoast O.G and Strawberry Pie again , I growed them both on one of my last runs and they turned out pretty good , especially Strawberry Pie 🍓. I hoping for a 25-30 g per plant , but I guess this gonna be a hard one this time. Like my Gorilla Glue the only one Sativa in the tent but also the slowest in growing flower and she’s eaten much lesser than the her indica sisters . But wow she got s crazy fruity smell with full of crystals on her . Cream Cookies she growed so fast in the last week , that she has come close to the other ones . I think this strain is a very fast bloomer , my last one was ready on day 69 from seed to harvest with a good amount of amber . Also a very flavoury strain 🍪 Yesterday I started to feed them Batguano , this should bring some green healthy leafs again and fat smelly buds . My first Chem on the picture is really hungry right now , I started a bit late for her but this should be ok . Updates coming

Blue Cheese F1 automatic Week 6 2/9-15 The Cheese gals are in full flower, the buds are puffing out and stacking. I even see some lower buds connecting to the upper buds and some pistils are turning brown. There is some smell when I open the tent. The F1 genetics are reflected in that these 2 plants are almost identical. I don’t see much difference in their growth so far using the different mediums. Soil and soil/coco blend. Maybe harvest will show a difference in yield from each one. Time will tell. On 2/13 I did major defoliation on my Cheese gals. I removed all large fan leaves and any leaves shading bud sites. Initially, I thought this would be my last defoliation, however I have heard that 1) they continue to grow new leaves until day 20 of flower and 2) there must be enough foliage on the plant to photosynthesize energy. Well, I hope I left enough leaves for energy to keep bulking up the buds. Stretching has slowed down. Both girls grew only an inch and now 17 inches. This is only the end of flower week 2. Controller is set to flower. I add 2 gallons of water to the T700 humidifier daily to keep the VPD in line. 2/9 & 11 4 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount. Making 4 gallons since I have 2 pots of carrots and a Dill in the back.

Good

Bin sehr begeistert was an der GorillaZ noch alles dran gewachsen ist. Der Headbud ist super schwer und wenn man an ihr riecht, riecht es wie eine Skittlespackung die man frisch auf macht!

Starting to get close to lights. They love the boosters! Ill post week 3 in few days since this is behind. Took to immune booster and ball buster shmoe krebs cycle booster i made. Now need to give it some cytokinins keep stretch zero. Bubba diagonal is ahead of them all and kush mints barely started flowering probably gonna be a 9 weeker+

Sono contento e difficilmente sono contento. Cinque piante identiche e sembra di fumare la vera gorilla glue con note dolci quasi a ricordare delle caramelle. Una pianta invece ricorda di più la zkittlez. Davvero contento di aver scelto questa casa 😊
