Buds are starting to thicken up and get nice healthy looking trichomes. Plant #2 was under a light that did not have the full spectrum setting on. I didn't realize that and now see that it's development is lagging plant #1. We'll see how this affects harvest, but I'm hoping that the timing will still work out.

Week 2 Veg Update on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds As we enter the second week of vegetation, our Epic Buzz seedlings are embracing their new home with vigor.: One of the seedlings has been carefully moved to the 20-liter reservoir. It has adapted well to its new environment, showcasing an impressive array of roots throughout the net pot, indicating healthy and robust development. Both plants are progressing as expected, with no significant issues to report. The steady growth and absence of complications suggest that the conditions in my indoor setup are well-tuned to the needs of Epic Buzz. The images captured this week show that the roots are not only healthy but thriving. They have begun to colonize the net pot, which is a strong indicator of the plant's potential for nutrient uptake and overall growth. With the transplant successful and the roots establishing themselves, I'm keen to see how the increased space and resources will accelerate growth. I expect that the coming week will bring even more visible progress as the plants continue to mature. Watching the Epic Buzz seedlings transition smoothly into the vegetative phase is both rewarding and exhilarating. The absence of any noteworthy problems speaks volumes. I'm looking forward to observing their journey and sharing their growth milestones with the community. Stay tuned for next week's entry, where I hope to report on the continued prosperity and vigor of Epic Buzz in its critical vegetative stage.

1/10 - Day 56 / Day 28 Flower The nutrient deficiency appears to be getting worse. After some reading, I suspect I may have a pH issue which is causing a nutrient lockout. I gave each of my plants enough water to get some runoff that I could test. When I first tested the runoff, I was getting pH readings of around 5.6-5.8 for my 5 gallons....not good. Way too acidic. I decide to do a flush out of an abundance of caution. I ran about 8 gallons of water that ranged between a pH of 6.5 and 7.2. At a certain point, I ran out of distilled and dechlorinated tap and decided to stop flushing at that point rather than introduce chlorinated tap water. At the end of the flush, I was getting pH readings of around 6.1 and 6.2 for my 5 gallons. Not ideal but should at least mitigate any further damage. Remarkably, some of the leaves that were starting to yellow began to bounce back shortly after the flush. **************************************************** 1/11 - Day 57 / Day 29 Flower The conditions haven't dramatically improved but also haven't appear to get dramatically worse. The leaves that were already yellowing seemed to yellow a bit further but I didn't notice any new leaves yellowing. After still more reading, I think I narrowed the issue down to a magnesium issue. My leaf symptoms seem to match all of the tell tale signs - leaves were turning pale green before fading to yellow, the yellowing was showing up first around the edges but all the veins were still green. Combined with the fact that magnesium lockouts typically occur when the soil is too acidic - I think I found my culprit. Even though the soil was still wet on my 5 gallons, I decided to go ahead and provide a half gallon of distilled water with 5mg of Cal-Mag to each plant. Of course, this was before I read some of the responses to my grow question and this was the exact opposite advice suggested by @BluntZilla who I think has the correct diagnosis of my problem (calcium toxicity causing other nutrient lockouts)... :facepalm: **************************************************** 1/12 - Day 58 / Day 30 Flower Based on the symptoms I'm having, it looks like the biggest nutrient deficiency I'm having is magnesium. In an attempt to mitigate that deficiency, I made a solution combining a gallon of distilled water with two tablespoons of epsom salts and applied as a foliar spray. Started applying this today - once in the morning and once in the evening. **************************************************** 1/14 - Day 60 / Day 32 Flower Watered my plants using spring water until I could produce runoff. The runoff readings were as follows: Z51: - pH = 6.4 - TDS = 1080ppm - EC: 2.2 Z52: - pH = 6.3 - TDS = 1040ppm - EC: 2.1 While it appears my pH is back in a healthy range, my EC readings are a bit higher than I'd like. Ideally, I'm aiming for 1.8 but didn't want to continue shocking my plants with a flush. **************************************************** 1/16 - Day 62 / Day 34 Flower My plants still haven't really turned a corner with the nutrient lockout issues as new leaves continue to succumb to the same symptoms of slow yellowing. Despite these issues, my buds are continuing to develop and becoming more full and dense.

1st photo We did the scrog, it helped us a little more to use as support to tie the branches with threads and manipulate them as we wanted, so we tamed it. but they kept growing as my colleague affirms

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) Both of these plants continue to pack on the pistils with no signs of slowing down...I thought surely the shortie would be ready to flush this week, but she's not even close to ready yet.😕 It rained for most for the day....again... 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: I took the shortie out of the closet today to inspect her trichomes. I took about 2-dozen close-ups and zoomed in really close on my PC and couldn't find a single amber anywhere...and prolly only about 30% cloudy at this point.. I went ahead and took some cuttings from her while I had her out. Hopefully I can get at least one to survive and grow outdoors this season. I also took some cuttings from the FFT#6 (the other shortie), and I started a couple of other FFT's (5 & 7) which I'll train out as horizontally as possible to match the shortie's heights. 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Song of the week : Joyner Lucas - I Love ------- Day 51 - She is outdoor since day 48 so she will now start to stretch 😀. The structure is nice but I broke the right side apex 2 days ago ( will try to clone it even if the apex is not the best part of the plant for a successful cloning ) , I hope that it will makes the right side more bushy than the left side. No feeding , only water but I will give her some MegaCrop soon. Stay tuned ------- Day 52 - 2L Feeding with Hybrids Powder + Calcium to support the stretch , I pinched the stems and made a clone with a little video to let you see how 😁👍 . Like you can see I did not used MegaCrop and I feed sooner than expected. ****** If you like the song of the week you can now listen to the whole playlist on my YouTube account ( each diary have a dedicate playlist)

Nueve semanas de floración para esta cepa Diesel hija inesperada de Diesel, semilla fecundada y nacida en casa, cepa fuerte como la madre-padre, ha sobrevivido al oídio y a la plaga de arañas, el rociado con azufre y otro después con tierra de diatomeas en conjunto con las bajas temperaturas están, por el momento, salvaguardando el cultivo. La progenitora de esta semilla la coseché después de 10 semanas de floración, casi 11, esta hija va por el mismo camino y quizás se alargue más, las colas están engordando claramente y los tricomas transparentes todavía dominan el escenario. DECODIFICANDO LA NUTRICIÓN 😎 - Sigo calentando el agua de riego entre 21-23°C Día 112. Agua de montaña (Ca, Mn, Mg, Si, Fe...) PH: 8, EC: 0.27. Día 113. Agua de lluvia y montaña al 50% (EC: 0.12), Humato potásico de leonardita (Húmicos, fúlvicos, K...) al 1%, Biol de guanos con Microorganismos Eficientes (P, MMA, BAL...).PH:6.60 EC: 1.30. 500ml , Día 113. Componentes sólidos a partes iguales destinados al aporte de nutrientes y materia orgánica, mezcla dirigida principalmente como estimulador del cultivo, 10g por maceta: Bocashi de algas, Guanos de aves y murciélago, Humato PK en polvo, Dolomita, Sal de Epsom, Polvo de semillas de algodón, Alga Kelp. Día 115. Agua de lluvia y montaña al 50% (EC: 0.12), Humato potásico de leonardita (Húmicos, fúlvicos, K...) al 2%. PH:6.65 EC: 1.33. 500ml , 😁 ORGANIC TIP >>> Hidrolizado potásico de leonardita con fósforo (Humato PK). Este producto lo vengo usando en mis cultivos desde el final del crecimiento vegetativo hasta el final de la floración y ahora es una de mis fórmulas indispensables. La leonardita es un mineraloide derivado del lignito y compuesto en su mayor parte por materia orgánica que se encuentra en el proceso de convertirse en carbón, no es soluble en agua. La leonardita es la mayor fuente existente de Ácidos Húmicos, Fúlvicos e Himatomelánicos. Yo lo uso como aporte sólido a los sustratos para mejorar la estructura del suelo haciéndolo más esponjoso, estimula el suministro de oxígeno a los microorganismos, incrementa el crecimiento y la división celular y la retención de agua y nutrientes. También lo uso solubilizado para riegos, donde la digestión por parte de la planta es inmediato. Para hacer soluble la leonardita uso un tipo de hidrólisis alcalina con Hidroxido de Potasio al que en esta ocasión he añadido Roca Fosfórica (P) y Azomite (Si, Mg, K, Fe... + trazas de 70 minerales). El proceso es simple: MATERIAL: Agua pura 2000ml. (Yo en este preparado he usado mi agua de manantial alcalino (PH: 9.2 EC: 0.85), esta agua está muy mineralizada (Ca. Si, Fe, Mg, Mn...) quiere decir que tiene hidrolizados esos minerales los cuales se añaden naturalmente al producto.) Leonardita: 150g Roca fosfórica: 10g, Azomite: 5g Hidróxido de potasio: 45g. PROCEDIMIENTO: 1) Juntar la leonardita con la roca fosfórica y el azomite. 2) Añadir el Hidróxido de potasio disuelto en 500ml de agua. 3) Mantener una hora y agitar de vez en cuando. 4) Añadir el resto del agua. 5) Mantener en el recipiente sin cerrar, para dejar paso al oxígeno, durante al menos tres días. 6) Remover o agitar al menos 2 veces al día durante estos 3 primeros días. (Cuanto más o mejor se agite el resultado de la hidrolisis será mejor.) 7) A partir de los 3 días ya se puede usar... pero yo prefiero esperar una semana al menos. 8) El producto se puede almacenar a la sombra durante años, el paso del tiempo hace más añeja la mezcla.

Gorilla Glue has been doing ok even though I was not able to care for her a few days. She is growing good under the G3000 light from Spider Farmer. I am still battling a magnesium deficiency, but from ph and improper care. She should be good to go now.

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

The first week of vegetative growth has passed, the seedlings are recovering from the shock of repotting and the growth has slowed down a bit, probably due to the growth of the root system in the new soil. In this second week I hope to get to the fifth node to start some lst. Irrigation / fertilization: I continue with the same light solution as last week with the addition of root stim 1ml / l to promote rooting. 0.1-2 l every 2-3 days. 20/01 150ml each plant of 8ml/l plant start 1ml/l root stim 1ml/l calmag pH 6,2 23/01 150ml each plant of 1ml/l calmag pH 6,0

March 08 I left the air purifier on by accident again last night so there was a blue light overnight. The buds look good though. I taped the window up so I'm no longer having a humidity issue at night. I alternate between having the light on at 100% and 75% and recently 50% as well. March 10 I just fed them Ph'd water with molasses. Runoff pH 6.2-6.5, ppm 200-600. I'm having trouble getting good shots of the trichromes but I'm starting to see more amber ones. Less than 5%.

Last week went well. She is still stretching some but stacking up bud now. Wonder how it's going to turn out. Didn't do much last week besides removed some fan leaves blocking buds and tucked some others. I adjusted some lst ties to open her up some and she is coming along. Until next time happy growing to everyone!
