This one is going to be weirdly exciting like all grows… but nothing beats growing strain you know nothing about down to to it’s ID. This is why this diary is dubbed Unknown Strain, and a lot more journals will be dubbed unknown strain. eg. Unknown Strain #1 - these strains are seeds I’ve collected and forgot to catalogue Unknown Strain (dealer/grow name #1) - I have it this way,to indicate where or from whom did I get the seed, but failed to get the accurate information regarding the strain. Alike this particular diary. I received seeds from my friend saplug16.20_exotic_genetics. Check out his work on instagram, his my mentor in growing. But I go overboard when it comes to growing. Ever since I’ve seen YouTube videos of growers growing weed plants like bonsais, I started growing my plants like I am growing actual bonsais, LST them in shapes and size while using defoliation and topping to achieve aesthetics. This type of growing is not focused on yield more for the hobbyist who grows for themselves and close friends. But I want to see if I can get more yield with this type of growing bud.

The week went well fed again this morning with canna vega and greatwhite roots gave them 4itres each this morning

Wow its good i pruned all the fan leaves at flip. Hit it cytokinins week ago to stop stretch both low ppm drench and foliar later. Lucky i still have room to shorten light hanger to raise lights. Keeping it 13/11 but now I'll introduce far red led initiator now before dark perdiod. Then 12 12 week 4 and add UV cfl.

This week use only silica and rhizotonic Canna

Week 3 of flower

13-09-30 Esta semana no se ha rectificado PH y aguantado con los 18 L toda la semana. Ya están las 3 floración pero se nota que la planta que se hizo apical florece antes y más uniforme. Se cambia de solución y se lava las raíces. Se baja 0.2 ms y PH 6.5. Luego se vuelve alimentar con una solución como hay en los datos de esta semana. A partir de esta semana se incluye en el menú revienta cogollos. 14-09-20 Conduc: 1.78 ms PH: 6.10 Temp: 24°C 17-09-20 Conduc: 2.1 ms PH: 5.85 Temp: 25°C

D15 - The start of the third week of vegetation. Each plant got 100 ml of compost tea @ pH 6.5. D17 - The girls are around 10 cm tall and 10 cm across. I adjusted the RH in the tent down to 80%. D20 - The girls were getting dry so each got 150ml water @ pH 6.6. There are adventitious roots coming out of the stems on all three plants. I have never experienced that before but at least I know that the RH is high enough ;) D21 - All is well in the tent at the end of the third week of vegetation. Next week I will transplant two girls into their final pots, while the third will get a new home with a friend of mine. #1 and #2 are 11 cm tall and 14 cm wide, while #3 is 13 cm tall and 16 cm across. I will most likely keep #1 and #2 since they are the most similar and give away the biggest girl.

1/4: Moved a few other plants out of the closet, now they've got a little elbow room. Both MPP's are fattening and frosting up very nicely. They are so similar that they could be mistaken for clones. Very, very stable genetic.👍 1/7: Fed today and gave them the sniff test...delightfully sweet minty aroma! I added a dose of endoboost in their feed today...kinda worried about the monstrous size of my plants considering that they are only in 3 gallon pots..

Add Osmos))

Haven't uploaded in a month, but back at it! Plant has been doing great. An animal almost cracked the main stem right through but with some tape and patience she recovered quite well. Recently discovered that i should water her even more (first plant) so now i'll give her a good 2-3 liters every 2-3 days. She's standing outside 24/7. I've also ordered General Hydrophonics nutrients yesterday since i had the opportunity. I've topped her once about 2 weeks ago and I'm thinking of topping the 2 main stems again soon. Wondering when she'll go into flower though See you next week!

aDiese Woche war entspannt ich konnte schön ohne Probleme meinen Babys zuschauen wie sie dicker werden :) Der Geruch ist sehr angenehm und lässt mich träumen :) bisher entwickeln sich sie Blüten sehr schön ab nächste woche kommt Phosphor Plus und Bopost hinzu ab da müssten sie in die Breite explodieren :) mittlerweile werden alle 3 Tage 200 L Wasser auf die vier Babys verteilt ! DIe Sonnensegel entferne ich auch fortlaufend :)

In my first few grows, I was hitting around 30 grams of dry weight, my buds weren't "fattening up", and I was underwhelmed by my results. So, I started again, and I've completely rebuilt my grow area. Lessons learnt: 1. Light REALLY REALLY REALLY matters! I started out by using a 35w led panel. I then "upgraded" to a cheap 100w grow light. I thought these would be good enough, and to some extent they were. However, since the rebuild, I invested in a Mars Hydro TS1000, which was significantly more expensive than the other two. I'm absolutely astounded by the results. If you're starting your grow journey, buy the best you can afford. The light is the most important part of the build, and if you get that right, the rest is a doddle. 2. Tents are worth the money. I originally had my stealth grow up in the loft, but have instead bought a small budbox tent, and that, combined with the light, has made a huge difference to the maintenance of a stable growing environment. For the first time, I am seeing fat buds, and it's a thrill. I at last know what people mean now when they say their buds are fattening up, because mine are visibly 2 or 3 times bulkier than those of my first 4 or 5 grows. And there's a lot of them. Previously I'd get the main bud on the main stem, and some smaller buds around that. My smaller buds are now almost equal in size to my main before, and my main makes me drool. I cannot wait to harvest. 3. Control pH. Stay on top of this, and keep it in the optimal range to the best of your ability. Buy a chap pH meter, and do your measures regularly. Make adjustments to the best of your ability. This means doing maths, and I've yet to get a formula that works well enough to be precise in terms of weights and measures of up/down agents, but small changes rather than wild swings are the way forward. 4. Try not to stress your girls out. I've had two grows go hermie on me. Too much LST, too much chopping and too much variation in conditions - water, nutrients and environment. 5. Don't give up. I'm not much of a smoker, but I so very much enjoy being a gardener. There's something deeply satisfying in knowing that you are getting it right. Sort of plays to my competitive nature. I'll take some pictures later, and show you what I mean.

So that's the end of veg...homecoming

Harvested 2 of 8 plants today. 90% or more trichomes were white with a few amber here or there. All pistils brown on the 2. 2 more plants should be ready within 2 days. The others are still a week out.

Lilly x White Widow is doing great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights, in the Athena blended line nutrition. She had a solution change the other day. Everything is looking great.

Switched from 24/0 to 12/12 at the end of day 14, also switched the 730nm Led's on. Its been 7 days the plants have started growing a lot faster but there's still no pistils showing. I started feeding biobizz grow @ 2ml/l At the moment there getting watered every 3-4 days. The light is showing 25000lux on a lux meter app.

12/8 - Here we are at the beginning of week 10. Her buds are starting to frost up and she is definitely bulking up more than her sister, but her sister has a longer projected flowering time-frame (Heavy Sativa vs Indica). Anyways, did some minor pruning for airflow optimization and to remove some unhappy leaves from her undergrowth. They weren't yellow, but they weren't getting enough light and it was showing. Haven't done much to her this week other than top her off with Tap every other day. Seems like her feed from last week was on point as her pH and EC were solid as the water level lowered. After her first top-off, her EC started to fall as she ate more (reflected in the lower ec in the res after topping off with tap). Tapered her down to 80% strength as she is moving further along in flower and should hopefully finish sooner than her sister. If she needs a bump in her EC, I may top off with full strength nutes, but I'm going to just wait and see how she responds. Breeder's timeline reflects a ~65 day seed-to-harvest, but I can assure anyone out there growing this strain in DWC that she will not be ready in that time-frame. Currently she is sitting on day 67 and still looks like she has another 2 weeks or more. I grew her in soil before and she was ready pretty darn close to her expected time-frame (~70 days), but this strain responds to DWC differently. She didn't have slow growth or anything; just seems like she will veg longer in hydro than in soil. Not sure why. Thanks for stopping by the garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!

Week 4 So we're 1 week into flowering. The growth has been amazing. The plants are taking the nutrients nicely. I just over watered one a bit, I'd let her dry out a bit before I continue to water. I also started to shaping th stems so the light distribution is equal. Don't for get to use my code STLVDXW for an extra 15% off your next order at fast buds #fastbuds See yal next week!

She looks stunning 🤩😍 beautiful autoflowering kush, this blackberry has a very kushy fragrance, earthy and kinda like piney and citric aromas. Very special, she's producing a nice big fat cola, shes very sticky already at the beginning of the 4th week of flower, beautiful purple strain to grow! 💚 🌱 ✌️

Herrrrro gang! Welcome to another week of Daank's grow! 8/2: Brought back the Great White. I was reading that it works well in conjunction with other root excelurators, like Rapid Start. I got 2 more temp/humidity sensors for the tent. It allows me to keep track of 100% of what is really going on, I find it to take away worry (b/c temps are very important!). Today was a "eureka!" moment in terms of understanding run-off pH and it's value to telling the grower how healthy the plant is and what nutes may, or may not, be needed. I also got some new LED glasses so I don't burn my fucking corneas when tending to the garden - they are phenomenal and I suggest them if you grow with an LED. Check the videos and photos. Pistils are growing rapidly and baby budlets are starting to form. I'm actually getting a nice subtle purple color - it's very neat. Today's run-off pH was 6.3, and I gave it 6.3 for water - so that's a good sign (I bounce the pH all around from 5.5-6.3). I'll keep track of this moving forward in the diary. Minor defoliation. ***Pro-Tip: If you're wondering what the run-off should be... around +.5/-.5 of what you put in is good. But this also might not mean anything... so many different opinions on the web. ****: My Spotify Playlist for my plants: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ydAFulbzDlqFr5WIZdfM1?si=r5M5H83BSQ6tOE5pk9Bg4Q Day 38 - 8/4: Lil'budlet's are poppin' up all over. By the end of this week I assume we'll be in full swing. Day 39: I have ordered new nutes, Advanced Nutrients. The reviews, photos, and research all point to using this for the best results. I found them to be a bit expensive, but if I can always get perfect pH values without much of a hassle... I'm down. They will be here by end of the week and I'll transition that over this weekend. I can't wait. Day 40: 8/6 - Advanced Nutrient nutes arrive today. Watering will be a pleasure. The plants look great. The buds are real. Small smell. Trimmed last night quite a bit for bud production. They love George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". It perks 'em up.
