Did a strip/defoliation on all of them. She's catching up with the rest nicely and looking great. Will be feeding them all Terra Bloom from now on, still no mildew or bugs thanks to spraying cannacure weekly. Also, the subtle colors I spotted (hard to get a clear pic) are developing nicely, but some leaves are turning, twisting and curling, my first guess is that I've overwatered her, she's quite a bit smaller (more 'skinny', and flowering slower) but I've been watering here the same as the other two, might need to let her dry up a bit longer than the others.

Water rainwater + epsom salt and diluted nutrients with more total water of 180 ppm ph 6.2 temperature of the 20 ° solution, gradually using more water due to the 10% runoff temperature, slightly relieving the roots without much removal, sprayed with water without ppm complement due to perspiration and water loss when it's hot, more soil around the stem "I made some abrasions around the stem that is now covered with soil in order to create more quick roots, added more mycorrhizae around to heal and root and stretch with mycorrhizae. Always covered with coconut fiber so it doesn't dry quickly without absorbing enough, I really need one more exhaust fan to pull in fresh cold / fresh air from the outside in, and limit one little use of fans since air conditioning is not part of my plans at the moment.

Currently running 2 x P450 Platinum LEDs. Most likely overkill but will be putting a 3rd in next week to get full coverage. Lights currently on half power until flip. Autopots are a dream.

Wk 4 was where I started to notice things weren't as they seemed. Continuous growth and some LST started towards the end of Wk3 and throughout 4 as different plants developed. The 3 girls in the Coco were looking wonderful, with nothing really done to them. - Towards the end of the week I noticed my leaves on the girls In the aero were now dramatically wilting and discolouration continued. - I flushed the tank and proceeded with just water.. 12 hours later after some research I realised I most likely have root rot!! - The following morning I took a look at the roots in more detail and what I thought was a bit of nute burn from the gunky root juice was in-fact slime. - I again drained the tank and rinsed the roots with tap water. Fortunately I have an adaptable tap and managed to hose them with an actual hose sprinkler! (it was better than a shower head). To my surprise most of the slime and damaged root matter rinsed away. I literally just scrubbed the whole tank with Flash bleach and rinsed the absolute crap out of it. - Again more research educated me that organic fertilisers are generally not great for hydro - I also realised that amazons system is terribly designed. The red sprinkler covers which are there purely for inspection let an immense amount of light penetrate through. This was another noob mistake I learned the hard way! Moving on I bought some Regen -e- root and pursued my crusade!

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = .46kw * 0.15kw = .17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = .99kw *0.15kw = .85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = 4.30kw *0.15kw = .65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. .17 + .85 + .65 = .67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. .67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. .67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Fattening week !! Alternating water/nutes irrigations... Gave the plant Top Bud, 2 times this week, using 0.5ml/l each one, but switching BIG ONE AND TOP BUD so: / -WATER- / -BIG ONE- + -TOP BLOOM- + -TOP CANDY- / -WATER- / -TOP BUD- + -TOP BLOOM- + -TOP CANDY- / --------------- Seems like @growdiaries did not add Top Bud to the database..So i let you the description below.. Top Bud : is a fattening fertilizer for the flowering stage. It maximum concentration of phosphorus and potassium and its absence of nitrates make it an ideal fertilizer for fatterning, while respecting the good taste of the crop. It is also rich in amino acids that benefit the development of flowers. Dilute at the rate of: 0.5-1ml per 1L of water once a week. Apt to: Its use in hydroponic substrate and coconut fiber. --------------

Hello everyone , Here is the phase of completed stretch, and the fertilizer fertilizer contribution are 100%, flowering starts very well and the appearance of the first pistil are visible everywhere. For the height of the plants I find it reasonable and thus keeping all this world a good size the luminous penetration will be excellent ... until now hene no sign of problem for my plants I think that the flowering will follow its rhythm .. to see in the coming weeks ... now place to photos ...

Buds are forming nicely. Pushing a EC of 2.4 this week and a PPFD of 60-725 on a 24 hour light cycle. Putting them in overdrive and they are loving it. Can’t wait until I harvest these two beast. GSM is 40 inches and the GH is 32 inches.

*VEG UPDATES ARE BEHIND ON THIS GROW. PLEASE GO AHEAD TO WEEK 1 FLOWER FOR BEST CONTENT.* I started this diary back in October but have not done any updating to it until today (February 15,2021). There will be pics for all veg weeks as well but I have not kept very good track with my pics of each strain until I flipped them to flower. From here on out I will feature all of my future grows weekly from seed to harvest. Please follow along.

Day 29: Beginning of week Problem: there are some flies in grow room and treatment will start from today to discover what they are and how to get rid of them. we will let soil on top get dry and hang a few yellow stick to catch them. Light will be changed to 600W next week. I caught one of bugs and I guess it's a fungus gnat. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 30: Fungus Gnats Update: there were no more adult one and plants are looking better. CCA1,CCA2,CCB1 had their Nutrient feed in big pot after transplanting stress with 6.3 PH and 1.2 EC. CCA1 had 2L Nutrients mixed with water with 100 ml Run off (7.3PH and 7.5EC). CCA2 had 2L Nutrients mixed with water with 100 ml Run off (7.8PH and 6.4EC). CCB1 had 2L Nutrients mixed with water with 250 ml Run off (7.6PH and 5.9EC). CCB2 had a dry day CCC1 had dry day so fungus gnats wont attack this pretty lady. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 31 All the plants were fed with Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra foliar feeding. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 32: Fungus Gnats Update: I made Cinnamon mixed with hot water, after 24 h this mixture been sprayed everywhere. CCA1 and CCA2 had a dry and normal day. CCB1 Had some defoliation CCB2 and CCC1 had their Nutrient feed (6.3PH and 1.7EC) CCB2 had only 1L CCC1 had 2.5 L Nutrients mixed with water with 150 ml Run off (8.0PH and 7.3EC). CCC1 had her last veg fed and she had more LST and Defoliation. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 33: it was a dry day for all the ladies. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 34: Dry tea had been mixed with top of the soil in pot. CCA1,CCA2,CCB1 had 2.5 L water each with 6.0PH and 0.4 EC CCC1 And CCB2 Had dry day ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 35: Last day of Veg weeks Fungus Gnats Update: there is one or two not more. i think i am close to defeat them. It was a dry day for CCA1,CCA2,CCB1 but some LST were performed on them. CCB1 had 1L of water with 6.1PH and 0.4 EC. CCC1 had more defoliation and LST. we wont perform any training on her for next week so she can get a full recovery with good flowering nutrients. CCC1 had 3.5L of water(6.1PH and 0.4 EC) with a 500ml Run off(9.3PH and 6.1 EC). I gave her more water so she can give more run off before starting flowering nutrients on her. It is last day of using 400w HID. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
