Aug /20 Week 7 of flower and im only began to flush yesterday i expect to havest by sept 1st

Well, this is week five and these lovely ladies are taking off. The only problems I have had (knock on wood) was the autopots valve sticking and flooding occasionally. I think I have them figured out though. Customer service from them is amazing. I will as always update throughout the week. Take care and happy growing. 🙂

I believe we are about to move into the flowering stage. I see a bit of the white hair. I've given them probably their last mixture of grow+CalMag nutrients this week. We'll see how they are looking in the coming weeks and I'll switch to the flowering nutrients next. They are well over 4ft and 3ft tall (excluding the pot) and they look like they will be huge! Looking forward to the next stage.

Always R.O Water Watering the plant 3 times for per week 1st flushing. (15 ppm) (03.04.2023) 4 liter with Flaskleen Drain 1700 ppm start 2st flushing. (15 ppm) (05.04.2023) 4 liter with Flaskllen Drain end 400 ppm :) -Day76 watering (250 ppm)(08.04.2023) 4 liter with Drykoolbloom(2-45-28) 0,39 gr/L and calmag xtra 1ml/L I had to do Defoliation:( 1000 ppfd

Innung soon

Por norma general no soy de podar hojas pero esta vez voy hacer una excepción y quitaré las que más sombra hacen , las grandes, a los 30 dias a 12/12h. Pasados 7 dias de su última poda de bajos, tercer y cuarto nudo. Entonces ya solo me quedará ir quitando algunas yemas de los nudos inferiores Parecen haberse estabilizado y no crecen al mismo ritmo que vinieron haciendo estos 30 primeros dias a 12/12h.. A principios de semana la más pequeña, la OGKush nºI serian 70 ctms y las más alta , la AnimalCokes nºVII, 100 ctms. Pasados 6 dias del último tratamiento contra la araña roja le volví a dar y esta vez con Plant Vitality Plus de Bac. Total hasta ahora, un lavado con agua corriente, una de Mactina (químico ), dos de Solabiol y una cuarta con el Vitality. Llevo dos semanas viendo las puntas quemadas y estoy observando que va en aumento, posiblemente sea un exceso de nutrientes debido también en gran parte a que el agua de base sale a 0,85 EC y 8,02 de PH unos valores muy altos. Miraré de correjirlo ahora con un par de riegos solamente con agua y cambiando al Top Candy la próxima semana manteniéndome con dosis bajas. Sobretodo se nota en las OGKUSH , las más pequeñas. A la vista está que fué demasiado regarlas dia si dia no con TopBloom a 1,8 EC. Ahora toco madera para que no afecte demasiado al resto todo y que ya se ven afectadas.

These are the seeds from my auto breeding project earlier this year. That diary link can be found here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/129779-grow-journal-by-m0use Germinated by scarification of the seed with an emery board then soaking in water for 12hrs, I added in the step of paper towel for another 12hrs then planted outside with myco in the hole. Watered in with some LABS "Lactic Acid Bacteria Serum [Lactobacillus]" and Transplanter MS-CS RootRescue. They all popped up within a few days after planting outside. They are in a acti-sol fortified soil and should not need much love. I ran out of mesh to protect them so bamboo spikes will keep the birds at bay... hopefully. I also have a twin setup of these seeds but in a planter with heavy soil, they will be running side by side for comparison.

Day 57 about to do my first schwazz Day 60 did a heavy defoliation. Not quite a schwazz. Almost Filled a 2 gallon bucket up with clippings a lot more light and air penetration is available. I think she’ll bounce back nicely Day 64. As the week comes to an end. I am very pleased with the progress. Canopy is nice and even. You can’t tell which one is the main cola. And for a little 300 watt light even the lower flowers are getting pretty dense. Still a long way to go. I would imagine this one will take over 90 days before see Amber. But we shall see

[ Information ] For all information on this grow, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] Day 10 - Watered today, 1.2ec feeding of mainly organics (Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, Molasses, Big Bloom) with runoff. 6.8ph. Group one is stretching much harder due to plant density, I will be adding a net soon. Day 13 - Watered today with the nutrients listed for this week. 2.2ec at 6.5ph. 80gals total. Added a small dose of Open Sesame for the first time today as bud sites are starting to form on all plants. Added a net to Group 1 yesterday, I will add the nets for Group 2 in a couple days. Group 1 plants are 38-40 inches, group 2 plants are 32-34 inches. I may adjust net height, this isn't normally how I run a cycle; I'm trying a few different things side-by-side. The "one plant per square foot of canopy" group has consistently shown that even with a short veg period there is far too many wasted growth nodes on the sides of the canopy. The plants around the edge tend to branch out instead of up, as they're naturally trying to find sunlight. My last attempt at using these side branches with heavy topping of the middle nodes resulted in a higher yield, as expected as the light footprint was 5x5 instead of 4x4, which defeats the purpose of "one plant per square foot of canopy" anyways. A better test would have been to stunt the growth of all middle nodes enough to weave the side branches into the main canopy, though this seems to be a waste of time without much gain. I'm much happier with Group 2 which has 1 plant per 2 square feet of canopy space. While it also has side branching, the difference in height at the canopy level of the sides and middles are not nearly as different as Group 1, which means a more even light distribution without the need of a net. As overgrown as the room is getting, they still have 7-8 days before they're defoliated a final time.

5/17 Week 8 ... and the state of the grow is unsettled This grow has fought us since germ and it is showing no signs of giving in. Just cannot seem to find their "happy place" environmentally or nuet wise. They doing ok-ish this is not a big yielding strain no matter the ad copy but havent had this much issue with it indoors before. Starting at baseline with the lighting HID 300w 16 inches above Baba LED moved towards front of tent. Both lights tilted very slightly towards each other hopefully giving better dispersal. Still showing nitrogen sensitivity so reducing Bloom to 8ml/gal while increasing PK to 6 so PK does not suffer, will watch for deficiencies Looking at going considerably over on these now, nothing coming up behind them so zero space issues, see what happens. Continue to leaf pluck when one needs to go Evening feed 5/17: They look better and some experimenting with the lights showed me the angle tilt needed increasing and HID increased to 450w giving a total of 600w in the tent. Should not cause too much heat issue. Still have 150w in reserve 5/18 PM Pic of lights - Seems to be working out managing to cover base of tent with both lights giving a 5000k and 3000k spectrum. Buds building faster now in particular on Baba, Hadnt gotten sick we would have thought of this weeks ago, aint that inspired. Man this Cov-19 stuff will cloud your thinking. Keeping HID at 450w Pics of plants - doing better Nuets - Running low on Soul Peak so gradually working in the KoolBloom to make it last. Seriously think the Soul Peak is better. 5/18 TAHTA TA TAHHHH! Baba found her happy place and is bulking very fast. See how long it continues Re-did the lights Had to drop wattage on HID due to heat even after a redesign of the extraction to eliminate drag on air movement. For 14 hours they will run at 450 watts but for 6 hours a day will drop to 300 watts. This should keep any problems from occurring. Just hard to run that Metal Halide at more than 300 watts in warm weather without AC which aint happening. HID to 300/450 watts, 13 inches above Baba at a 20 degree tilt to disperse light. LED at full 17 inches above Athena with a 20 degree tilt. Coincidentally that puts them at the same height. Added a 30 watt 2700K LED on Baba and Athena give them some more red. See how it works. Nuets as is 5/20 Pics After viewing tricones beginning to walk down the EC to flush in a couple days. Plan 10 day flush. That puts them finishing about the middle of week 11. Not perfect but nothing so far with this grow has been lol Adding the 30 watt 2700K LED in the bottom seems to be helping, lot of increased lower growth WHICH I WILL TAKE ... 😬 Seriously every bud counts lol 5/21 Buds continuing to build at a decent rate finally. Had to re-arrange the tent my wife's plant is getting big Holding nuets where they are till flush, plan to begin flush during week 9. Working on a tactic to harvest Sally ahead of Jane without hurting either After a talk with her and looking seriously at what we have here I am going to break up the feeds. Athena will need to go into flush first she is furthest along. So start it on week 9. Sally ... we are going to do something unusual for her and Jane. Since flushing Sally per normal would be just no good for the twin Jane we are going to flush but then put the plants on organic bloom. So big initial flush with agent to clean out the salts then shifting her to light organics to continue feeding the twin without having to revisit the flushing issue. No idea how long the twin may go Baba will just play by ear on her, continue the light Bloom feeding keeping her PK up until we see the go signal from her. Hoping she goes a week longer than the others. 5/22 Lights to full weather is cool today and time is short Holding nuets here till new week then begin flush on Athena Buds still building nicely on Baba Almost forgot the twin: Here is the plan we flush the pot same time as Athena but on the next feeding we introduce organic bloom nuets for Jane instead of a flush as normal. We dont smoke so not overly concerned with harshness just want the pot clean. The organics will belay any further need of flushing. Best we can do 5/23 Need to start flush now so Athena and Sally on water only till I introduce organics to Sally. No agents Baba staying on feed

High on life

Apr 11 The plant is now actively sacrificing lower, less important leaves. I've used flexible garden wire to separate the side colas from the main cola to help light get in. Things are fattening up and trichomes are developing.

So I chopped the plant today on day 48, so now it’s drying time. I’ll be back in one week to see the results.
