Hey Guys, so I have ran into some difficulties regarding our power supplier. Due to the current situation we are facing in South Africa the power company "Eskom" does not have ample supply to provide constant electricity to our country anymore. This is very sad. So they implement a system called "loadshedding" where the cut off power supply in certain suburbs at certain times. This has got me in a complete and utter flat spin as I'm not always at home when this happens. The past 2 weeks have been immensely rough as we we're scheduled for outages 3 times a day for 2,5 hour intervals. Between 02:00AM - 06:30 my tent's power went off (depending on scheduled time). This has in fact caused some VPD problems ( I tried getting up every night, but I still have to get enough sleep for work ). As you can imagine, it sucks BIG TIME. I've done my best to keep at par & doctored where I could.
*Decreased Light Intensity (600W)
*Decreased Wind Velocity on canopy
Almost approaching the start of week 3.
Feeding schedule from 3 day interval - 2 day interval ( 2L per feed )
Selective defoliation to get light on lower tops.
Used some garden wire to support 2 main colas which we're too high.
Note: Pest/Mould check done. Foliar sprayed with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) @ coolest part of day
- Next day applied high alkalinity ph'd water to kill mildew spores
- Fan heater running from 03:30AM - 06:00AM, pulsing/regulating temp at 19-21°C [ until light comes on ]

Empieza la segunda semana con el trasplante a su maceta definitiva. Es pronto para hacerlo, pero las plantas se estaban espigando demasiado.
Riego en nueva maceta con estimulador de raíces.
La semilla pegada sigue ahí, no afecta al crecimiento de la planta, así que voy a dejar que la naturaleza haga su trabajo.
Ahora toca dejarlas tranquilas para que crezcan a su ritmo.

Beginning of the second week of flowering. One has not yet shown its sex, it appears to be indica, but it is full of pre-flowers.
The largest is 47 cm, the smallest around 30.
09/10 - Now it's 58 cm, this sativa doesn't stop growing. The indica has not shown sex yet despite having pre-flowers everywhere. It doesn't seem stuck to me, as it continues branching, but the height hasn't changed almost anything.
10/10 She reached 65 cm. The others are 50 cm. The last plant that was missing to show the sex, came very late, it had all branched before showing the sex, unlike the others, and unfortunately it was a male, already dead. She just looked indica, but was a long sativa male.
Of the 5, 3 females (2 in organic soil, 1 being fertilized and the other in inert soil) 2 males dead
11/10 - It is 72 cm. It is colossal, I had to tie it up at the top, as I didn't have enough space to lift the bulb and it was starting to burn some of the tips of the leaves. It's better to have mild, temporary stress than heat and burning stress, which is worse in the long term. The others grow well, gaining weight, without problems with height.

Auto Northern Dragon Fuel is growing good. She was just lollipopped today. I also selectively defoliated her canopy. She was very bushy and dense with leaves. She is developing well, and should start bulking soon. Nothing more to report at the moment. Thank you Super Sativa Seed Club, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱
Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻
Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱

This week the buds have fatten up some more and the production of thc was clearly visible in the trichomes.
On the last day of this week I did a check and I saw a lot of them where turning cloudy, half cloudy with a few amber ones.
I guess another 2 weeks at max and I'll be harvesting.
The fungus gnats where a real pest during this run.
So I've placed a drosera capensis(carnivorious plant) in the growroom
and she hasn't eaten this much since I got here a year ago.
Should have done this weeks ago...
This weeks menu for the Pineapples:
Day 1 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients (see above for which and how much)
Day 2 → Dry
Day 3 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.48– ph 6.6)
Day 4 → Dry
Day 5 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) tapwater with Plagron nutrients. 16 ml Terra Bloom, 4 ml Sugar Royal, 4ml Power Buds
and 4 ml Green Sensation was added to 5 liter (1.32 gallon) of tapwater (ec 1.77 – ph 6.6)
Day 6 → Dry
Day 7 → Each 1250 ml (0.33 gallon) ph adjusted tapwater (ec 0.46– ph 6.5)
The cobs are now at 45 cm (17.7 inch) with 320 watt → DLI 43/PPFD 995
This will be the maximum power for this run.
Temperatures fluctuated between 20.3 – 29.8 °C (68.5 – 85.6 °F) and humidity levels between 43 – 69%
Till next week!
Do you want to grow this strain?

The 4 in vegetation are getting flipped this week and they will be replaced by the clones ASAP. I've already harvested these strains a few times and they're incredible. I highly recommend them!
*Also, I got them from clone and they have already been phenohunted.*

All the plants are beautiful but some are beautiful. This is the case of Red Hot Cookies, a young lady who stands out, stands out among the others and despite the 6.5 pot she is also growing and swelling well. But her strength is beauty for real, look at these flowers to believe. They are an intense red that goes towards purple which contrasts greatly with the truly wonderful white hairs. Also wonderful are the leaves that are tinged with the classic RHC color near the flower

Sono felice di tutte e 4 le banche semi che mi hanno regalato qualche seme alla fiera canapa mundi di Roma, già in passato ho sempre provato casualmente tantissime varietà,sono affezionato ad una banca semi in particolare ma voglio bene a tutti. Queste varietà sono fino ad adesso perfette per le mie esigenze perché crescono facili,rapide e molto resistenti e sono già in fioritura! Ogni varietà si sta sviluppando in maniera impeccabile e sono molto felice perché hanno resistito ai cambiamenti climatici e stanno resistendo benissimo la presenza di afidi sotto le foglie, ogni settimana stiamo utilizzando olio di piretro ad azione rapida e sta funzionando. Il colorito della piante ed il vigore che hanno nel crescere e fiorire è dimostrato nel video e nelle foto! Hanno avuto una crescita molto rapida in questa settimana. Il clima è migliorato e le temperature sono di tipo estive quindi non faranno che migliorare. Io coltivo in maniera biologica e non uso potature particolari e queste varietà sembrano ideali per me. Affinché avrò la passione di coltivare sicuramente useremo anche queste varietà perché questo 2023 in Italia il clima è stato pessimo durante le prime 3 settimane di vita di queste varietà e hanno resistito a grandine,pioggia e sbalzi di temperatura. Iniziano a fiorire ed il caldo estivo ormai è arrivato! Un abbraccio a tutti

She seems to be budding nicely. However in the past few days all her lower leaves are turning yellow. I know this plant is a heavy feeder and I thought I was feeding enough. She is not growing anymore, but she looks like she has a nitrogen deficiency.
I do use the same water which has a low 6 ph. Today I gave her water with a 7.0 ph. Just to get her out the constant ph zone she has been in.
9/17 fed 15 MLS of foxfarm Tiger Bloom
9/19 fed 15 MLS of Tiger Bloom.
9/21 fed 4 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom, 1/2 Teaspoon Foxfarm Beasti Bloom and 12 MLS of Foxfarm Grow Big. Per 2 gallons. Day 98
She has a lot of yellow lower leaves. So I hit her up with a little grow big. From what I read, she still needs some nitrogen.
Lower leaves turning yellow. Think it's a little too early for that. She is a big eater and it looks like she has not been getting enough base nutrients.
Her pot is very heavy, so now I'm going to hold back water until she drys a little.
Getting cold out at night. Every morning I go out and she was drenched in dew. This plant I'm counting on giving me bud until at least spring. So now I have been sneaking her in the garage at night with 47 percent humidity. She seems to be very happy about this. Right now 9 pm 60 degrees, humidity 71. Humidity is way too high for her to be sitting outside.
Her buds are fattening up. Some time last week I gave her a feeding of just Foxfarm Beasti Bloom. Beasti has no nitrogen and she was not happy about that. A lot of lower leaves turned yellow. So I gave her Foxfarm Tiger Bloom and that seemed to make her happy again. Will not make that mistake again.

Yesterday evening I noticed some bright yellow spots on the leaves of my White Widow. I didn’t know what it was. Today I saw that the spots turned brown. I tried to wipe it off, but I couldn’t. I think this is downy mildew. I moved the plant to the garage. The garage is quite dry and has a better humidity level than the greenhouse. I hope this will not spread. I don’t know what to do about it…

Water Day (half strength)
- [ ] Kangaroots, Microbe Brew, Grow Big, Distilled Water, Ph-6.8, PPM-890).
- [ ] Lessons Learned - Ph Up/Down from fox farms is super strong, huge upswing in 500ml distilled water with only 0.25ml of pH Up.
- [ ] I think I need to pH water before adding nutrients. Can anyone verify this please?
- [ ] Will transplant to recirculating dwc soon, until then probably watering every 3-5 days with current nutrient mix. Can’t wait to get it under better lights!
- [ ] Most likely going to mainline if it all works out ok.
6/10/19, DAY 26, UPDATE:
Water day due to transplant
Decided to change plans a bit. Transferred to big fabric pot and fox farms ocean forest soil. Will grow plant out and cut clones. Will then put clones immediately into DWC setup. This mother plant will then be moved outdoors to flower. Hopefully it all pays off!
Day 29
6/14/19
Decided to clear all fan leaves that had less than five fingers then top at the 4th node and LST the remaining fan leaves. The goal is to eventually cut two clones off of the the 3rd node and mainline everything else starting at the 4th node. At least 8 colas is the goal, ideally 16. We’ll see tho,
Very surprised at how quickly the leaves pointed back up toward the light and recovered from the lollipopping/topping/LST.
Any and all suggestions are welcome! Lofty goals for my first grow ever, hopefully it all works out.
